I purchased the Soundsticks just over a quarter in an Apple store in the Netherlands, because they there still were a little cheaper than in Germany. Unpacked, installed and connected ... the sound home is just fantastic! I was skeptical at first, which can output these relatively small boxes to sound, but that I was quite surprised. The subwoofer (with adjustable bass level) delivers a precise sound, sounds always strong and never dull. The mids and highs, which then come from the satellites are balanced and do not rattle. Overall, a very strong sound, but so relaxed and great that it never stressed out, listen to the speakers. My stereo is increasingly rare, and the Sound Sticks II run almost continuously. To be able to assess in which music I have gained these impressions: Pop, such as Sting and pretty much jazz ... Now playing Bruce Hornsby, well that sounds great. As the speakers behave in other genres, of course I can not judge, because I rarely hear songs from these genres. Conclusion: Absolutely flawless speaker with an amazing design ("These are your speakers ?? They look great from" I hear often from visitors :-)) and a sound that is unrivaled in PC boxes. My Audio-investment of the year! Way to go, H / K!
