Summary: TDK S150 Speakers- Awesome Value
Review: I bought mine used from ebay, but it still came in excellent condition. The bass is tight and forceful and the flatpanel speakers can really hit the notes. I was impressed with the sound quality. The only thing I don't like about it is that the subwoofer sometimes picks up radio waves (even when no input) and plays lightly in the background. overall, though, the best

Summary: Worth the money, especially for NXT technology
Review: I bought S60's recently because it was the only speaker system at the store that wasn't Cyber Acoustics, one step above Benwin. I know quite a bit about speakers and was fairly skeptical about how they'd sound. Most flat speakers aren't worth the money unless you need the space, but once seeing that they were made with what NXT calls "surface sound," I felt a little more at ease. I first saw it a couple years ago in a Wharfedale picture frame that was actually a speaker made by the same people. It's a totally different concept of producing sound that is capable of filling a large room with the entire frequency range. I have mine in a large open room that most speakers would have a hard time filling without struggle, but these can do it very easily. And it's all the sound, not just some of the midrange like others usually do. They might not be as loud as some other speakers, but the sound quality from a distance is really good.
The subwoofer is unique, having good and bad qualities. It does have good sound quality, especially for a 3" speaker, but you can notice that it doesn't hit far below 60Hz when listening to certain kinds of music. And don't worry, the 150 watt system just uses two of the little subs to get down to 50Hz. The design is really nice though. It can project the bass to all parts of the room fairly evenly, which is more than I can say for a lot of others. But the best thing about the subwoofer is the auto limiting circuitry built in. Once the volume gets about half way the subwoofer stops moving any more as not to blow it. Which is a good thing considering how much sound I can get out of the satelites. I was wanting to upgrade to the 150 watt system, but pairing mine with a 10" HT subwoofer seems like a better idea to get near audiophile sound out of them. All in all I would recommend them despite any bad things that were said about them by me or anybody else. Mine sounded kinda tinny when new, but even flat panel speakers need broken in. And this isn't the system for you if you want head thumping bass. The subwoofer is only there to even out the sound coming from the satellites. But now that they're broken the whole system sounds very natural. I still use an equalizer with them, but it's not necessary anymore. Well worth connecting up to a portable cd player to have a great sounding stereo for about $50, or even your computer.

Summary: Great Speakers!
Review: I bought the Tremor S150 because of its neat metallic design and the dual subwoofer drivers (2x21 watts RMS so it's kinda like having 2 subwoofers). The 75 watts RMS system delivers ample power for both game and music. The subwoofer delivers a bass that is deep, rich, and crisp. The satellites can either stay on the desk or be hung on the wall (hangers are included). It's unfortunate that TDK did not include a remote control or any software with this 3-piece system. I got my Tremor S150 from amazon.com, and I think it's money well-spent!

Summary: TDK Tremor S60 2.1 speakers
Review: I bought these speakers as a replacement set for my old computer after they just stopped working (power supply failed). So, after a simple listening test I chose these over all other products my local Domayne store (AU$120), and this was no-where near the most expensive 2.1 system. They have excellent sound from quiet to loud volumes and low to high pitch, and are a joy to listen to. However I only realised just how good they are when I got a new PC and some generic 2.1 system, which had no bass and ultimately were pathetic in comparison to the S60, especially in games and music playing. I definately recommend them to anyone, especially if you think you "need" a 4.1 or 5.1 system.

Summary: A steal for the money
Review: I have bought these speakers after reading a praising review in a UK musical journal. They have promised "amazing sound for the money", and this is exactly what I have got. It can compete with monitors that cost 6 times more; -- if you do not care about separating the left and right channels below the crossover frequency (for it has _one_ subwoofer). The simple reason for this quality performance is the new NXT technology TDK used.
Deficiencies: they are 80 Watt speakers; if you need more, buy the top 150-Watt model or search for something else. Also do not touch tremble/bass controls on the right speaker; their built-in filters give severe distortions.
I am writing this review because the other reviews here give an entirely wrong impression of the system, and have almost stopped me from buying it. Besides, it works intensively with my notebook and portable MP3 player for three months without problems.

Summary: Handsome speaker
Review: I just got this S60 speaker,even it is an entry level but it sounds great and the silver color just matching my new flat panel. I compared many speakers (price $40-$70) before I made this decision some are they just sound louder instead of nice.
I feel this speaker can re-produce human voice clearly, enough bass and H/F sound quality, even I never trust a PC speaker will sounds great, but I accept this S60. Also all those other brand name speaker came from an old fashion design cannot be compared. One thing this S60 should have a power switch on/off button. Overall from the price to the design, what do you expected... it is a good buy.

Summary: Big disappointment :-(
Review: I just purchased the TDK S80s from [a local store]. After installing them (I am replacing an older 3-spk. set of Altec Lansings), I immediately started playing some songs. The sound quality of these speakers is passable at lower volumes but as soon as you try to blast it even a little bit the frequency response buckles. Treble is crackly as hell and bass is a lot muddier than I would have expected from such a cool-looking tube. I adjusted both my PC sound card settings, Winamp EQ and Bass/treb controls on the right speaker, all to no avail. I have an Audigy MP3 sound card, and just hooked my Altec Lansings back up. Now I have to box these TDK things up and take them back. I give these speakers a strong thumbs down.
