Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback! Upon opening the box, I was impressed with the weight of what I previously thought to be 'pretty, though cheap' speakers... Though the cables were stiff, they seem well made and tough. Setup is straightforward, though there is a manual should one wish to follow instructions.Sound quality is excellent (for $100, yes, I realize there are systems and headphones that will blow it away, as I've listened to many flagships, but they aren't $100, and don't serve the same purpose as speakers.) with a slight 'U' curve that doesn't bury the midrange. These speakers are highly directional, and treble detail will present itself when they are properly aimed and aligned. For a smoother sound, point them straight out, rather than directly at your ears, or place them in a vertical position underneath ear level.Besides the directional nature of the satellites, which may bother some using it for multiple people, and the occasional subwoofer distortion when maxed out for those that value bass above all else, this is a well thought out speaker system that is both classy, and high quality.Two things that would have made it perfect would have been a solution for the dust that can get into the woofer (I stuff it with a microfiber cloth, even when playing, as it tones down the bass, and I'm okay with that.) A removable black open-cell foam insert would have been quite useful, as would removable cables. Provided the included ones are durable, and compressed air can be used to remove dust from the woofer, I daresay this is the system to get for $100.
