I was expecting a much worse sound in the price. The bass is crisp and punchy and the mids and highs are reproduced perfectly on the satellite. What I like most that you can control each speaker individually, but it does not necessarily have to! So far I could not find another 5.1 system that brings such a good performance at such a price. In addition, look classy and top-quality workmanship of both subwoofer and center speaker and the remaining satellite speakers.
