These speakers can serve me in troubleshooting, failing to have better currently on hand. I chose them after reading a very positive review on a site (price / quality) ... but I am very disappointed. The price of these speakers is the price of their design, and nothing more! I knew it would be impossible to put the sound loud, except that even the minimum sound sizzles very easily, some sounds do not appear at all. While it is true that at this price I was expecting a lower quality sound, I do not expect either to that point! Some albums are quite inaudible unlistenable, it's not me who chose what I'll listen as my desire, but I can actually listen. If I had known, I would have chosen other speakers at the same price, and for such a poor sound quality the price is quite exorbitant! (There are many smaller speakers, the first prizes in all, with a sound quality that allows at least listen to very loud music with little sound a little better than this one!)
