Summary: i bought a dud
Review: i kept seeing ads for this speaker system. it boasted many awards and i was convinced it was a quality system that came with a cool design. so i bought it, and straight out of the box the left rear channel refused to work. but it still sounded good. a few months later my front left channel stopped working. i've tried every configuration and it's the hardware that has failed. and when i'm not playing any audio, a loud annoying crackling noise can be heard. it never goes away unless i turn the speakers off. however, the sound quality is still good for an extremely messed up and malfunctioning piece of hardware. but i would definitely not recommend this product because getting a hold of customer support was such a pain in the arse that it wasn't even worth it to pay for shipping and handling to have the speakers sent from cleveland to california for repairs. i regret buying these speakers.

Summary: Great sound!.... but they fall apart
Review: I researched for about a month for a 5.1 speaker system to optimize my computer and Playstation 2 sound. I kept seeing Midiland popping up, so I got these speakers. Well, I must say the sound is superb on these speakers, but everything is falling apart. Out of the box I was not able to get the 5.1 setting to work. I had weeks of emails to Midiland, and they finally said to send the decoder back. I was waiting to send it back when I went back to school so I would actually have decent sound from my computer and PS2. THEN my back right speaker won't work. There's a signal going to it (ie the speaker works), and the speaker works great in stereo mode, but doesn't do a darn thing in Dolby Surround. Now I'm working at Best Buy for the summer and am most likely going to sell these speakers and get a DTS home theater system. I think these are great sounding speakers, and I might be the only one, but my speakers are going to ... after 4 months of use.
