Rating: 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.
Rating: Summary: TDK S150 Speakers- Awesome Value Review: I sold my Klipsch Promedia 4.1 system because it took up too much space (I live on a boat). These TDK speakers sound even better! I can't believe the quality of sound from the flat speakers and the extraordinary bass response from the subwoofer. I'm glad I went with the 150 system instead of the lower powered options. Worth every penny.
Rating: Summary: Stops functioning within 24 hours Review: I've bought this product twice already (not from Amazon) and had to return it both times as the mini-speakers have COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING!!! The subwoofer and overall sound is great but the plugs connecting to the mini speakers were very loose and just stopped working after 24 hours. At first the mini-speakers buzzed rather noisily, picking up radio waves so much that I had to turn my music volume up to drown it out. After about an hour I unplugged the system (there is no power button on the S-60). The next day I came back, tried it again and the mini-speakers didn't work at all!!! I returned the set and got a new one and THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! I wanted the system because at first they looked and sounded great. But apparently this is a case where TDK decided that product design matters more than whether the product actually functions. There are higher end models (S-80 and S-150) that I could buy instead, but I expect that for [any price]...the S-60 speakers I purchased on a Friday should still work the following Monday (and well beyond).
