Summary: Great System!
Review: It really makes a difference when you upgrad from two speakers to five surround sound on your computer. I now can appreciate all the DVD movies because they sound so much better. Easy to hook up and install. Overall, its a great package.

Summary: Philips - A Sound Breaker or not?
Review: Well, I received these speakers for Christmas last year, and I have many different things to comment on for this.

First, the installation. It includes a simple poster to help you install them, but the problem is that my sound card is only a 2 channel, so I had to get rid of two speakers. Sure, I could upgrade, but after you read my review, you'll see why I won't.

Next, the sound clarity. Before these speakers, I had simple two speakers with no subwoofer, and it sounded horrible. The clarity from that to these was very clear, a definite shot from what I had, but the subwoofer sounds very low on my system. And the other problem is that I can't adjust it for how old my sound card is. I can adjust it w/ software in MusicMatch and equalizer settings and such, but other than that, it's not that deep.

Finally, reliability. Every now and then, I have to wiggle the main speaker connection to get it to play both the left and right speaker setup, for the wires are kind of weak.

Overall? I was expecting Philips to be a great type of speaker system, but I'd recommend Creative Labs speakers! They are very deep sounding and nice to listen to, even on a low system such as mine. :-)
