Ok. Let’s start out with the pros of this speaker. The design is nice and the speaker is attractive ( it also is a little deeper than it appears in the picture ).  It’s looks will definitely allow it to blend in with just about anything that you have in your home living room or den.

The price is also a big plus when you are looking for cheap speakers. Everyone has said for the price this is  a great buy. Now days I know many people that may not have the money to buy big expensive subwoofers but still want to get a great sound. No need to break the bank with this one. The sound also does not have that “one note” sound that many others at the very same price range have. I’ve heard it’s best to keep it at 25% – 50% for the best sound but it’s not recommended if you are wanting a stand alone,best to pair it with some other speakers and have a great sound working together.

Many people have commented on the grill and box rattling. This seems to be a pretty common problem and is not just a fluke with one of the speakers not being manufactured the correct way. Others do not have any problem with this however because they do not require the speakers to be up at such a high volume. This speaker seems to be best if you are wanting a mid level music or movie experience – not a loud thumping party.

Another thing with this speaker is how it is sensitive to other electrical lines running by it’s lines. If you have many things running nearby this might be a problem – if not… no need to worry,right?
