The sound of the 2.1 combination is very good - clear and finely drawn ups and a matching subwoofer for sound characteristics. The powerful bass fits into the sound and not dull booms, as is often the case with other thunder boxes. The appearance and sound quality of the two satellites is beyond any doubt. Fine high-gloss piano lacquer and high-quality drivers. The built-in subwoofer amplifier distorts even at high volumes not (S-PDIF / optical digital input) and is quite compact. Even in quiet passages (eg) classical music is absolutely no background noise to be heard. The sound system is intended for use on PC - work almost too good .... (but awesome). After a long search, I finally found the right thing - and at an unbeatable price. Absolute recommendation.
