I received mine yesterday and they are great. I am trying to figure out where else I need speakers, but for $18 shipped, who cares? I'm going to buy another set!

Mine came the other day but I couldn't hook them up until I got a piggyback cable. I stopped at Radio Shack today and picked one up so I get to check it out tonight. Thanks for the link PK.

I canceled all sound from my TV speakers, letting these speakers handle all audio, and my basement started sounding more like Carnegie Hall ...

Take care,

I gotta try that. I still have sound coming thru my TV speakers also!

Update...just did it PK and there is definately a difference. I also have my default setting on "Gaming". Definately have some "home theater-ness" going on right now

Oh, yeah, no doubt. The "Fat Man" subwoofer looks like something out of the atomic bomb exhibit from the Atomic Energy Museum. The satellite speakers don't bother me as much, as they remind me of old-time radio and stage microphones.

But at least the speaker system sounds good, especially for the buck!

Take care,
PK

Got the piggyback cable and everything up and working now. It really adds to the stereo. Thanks for the link pk it was well worth it, of course my wife might have some choice words for you. Somewhere along the lines of "Just what we need, more f#@$in electronic sh#t!"

I still have yet to receive my speakers! Has everyone who ordered them received theirs?

I ordered a set last Friday and received an email yesterday saying that they shipped. By choosing the free shipping option they do take a week or so to get them.
