Cyber Acoustics CA-4100 4.1 Flat Panel Computer Speakers (5-Speaker, White)

Rating:
Summary: 3" ported woofer = not much practical utility
Review: Fine for basic listening, but not ok for movies, etc, because if you turn them up loud enough to hear speech, when low bass sounds come along the subwoofer starts distorting.

Summary: Impressive for the price
Review: I bought the CA 4100 system for my second desktop PC. On my first I already have a set of Altec Lansing THX 120 watt speakers. Compared to those, the 4100 doesn't show much of a difference, except for high treble notes, which seem to be cut off, but hardly noticeable. These work best on a 4.1 channel sound card and above, on a 2.1 the left and right surround speakers are very weak and use the same channels as the left and right front. This can only be heard when the surround speakers are placed close to the ear. Overall, excellent fidelity and ambience, impressive bass, and true surround accompany this system, which is one, if not the, best in it's price range. Keep up the good work CA!

Summary: OK
Review: I bought this item for [$$$] a year or two ago I have been pretty happy with it, but for songs with high bass (rap) then the music gets pretty distorted, and I have a Sound Blaster Live 5.1 X-Gamer sound card..... so it is not my sound card that is bad.

Review: I bought this product (cost 40) for company use (that's why it's cost 40) base on coworker's recommendation from another office. The quality is disappointed after I installed & tested it. It's not shielded so the interference is quite a serious problem, but I won't get blame afterall since this is not my decision.
Don't be fool by the 4.1 speakers, compare to my another set of 2.1 speakers (cost 20) it's not impressing at all.
There are many good speakers out there, do your researching and will happy with what you got.

Summary: Stay away from these
Review: I don't understand how there are such mixed reviews. I get the feeling that the people writing the positive reviews didn't try to play anything loud or very bassy. The bass speaker, first of all, not like the desciption, is not shielded, there's a big sticker on it when you get it that says so. The volume controls are dials on one of the satellites, inconvenient if you want to wall mount all the spakers, and the front right and front left speaker wires are quite short. Don't forget that they only give you mounting brackets for two of the satellites. There are other models with separate volume control, which I find much more stylish and convenient. These arguments are all nothing compared to its poor sound quality. At top volume, it's not all that loud, it's loud, but not enough. In addition, the bass becomes fuzzy at around 80% volume. In all honesty, if you keep the volume at a medium, it sounds fine, but I like the immersive feeling you get from loud volume. I'm pretty sure I am going to return these.

Summary: These are not all what they are cracked up to be...
Review: I ordered these speakers in place of my previous speakers I had ordered from Amazon.com. These speakers were supposedly 10 watts more than the LABTEC speakers. I figured I'd give them a try. They are nothing like I thought they would be and I suggest that you don't buy them. LABTEC speakers rule I've learned. LABTEC has superb sound!

Summary: Incredible sound and loudness for the price you pay
Review: I was extremely impressed with these speakers. Not only are they visually pleasing, small and unobtrusive, but they sound incredible, and are plently loud. They also came with mounting hardware for your rear speakers, more than enough wiring to run your speakers where you like, and are compatible with surround sound.
