As against to the eyes, the design is good, but hey I received my kit, and the subwoofer was already a hit .... so for a new product 170, I admit that I do not find ca normal.
Otherwise telecomandes allow properly adjust the sound as you like it. (Besides the infrared telecomande did not want to work on, and reception is not great, but hey I adjust as I like, and I ow jOperation the telecomande my mac for volume ).
In conclusion very good product, but a little disappointed with amazon because of the mark on the subwoofer.
