To design, etc. I will not say anything further, the boxes are high quality and have a great style. About all membranes of the boxes a kind meshed bulkhead is attached to larger particles, which protect the membranes from destruction.
I have the hardware connected accordingly, only to find at the beginning of that really comes a noise or a distorted signal from the speakers.
Accordingly, I have for my 5.1 OnBoard system (MB: MSI 870-C45) to download and install the latest sound driver, then I've made in the Control Panel the appropriate configuration.
Result: no more noise, no distorted sound and (eg music), a 5.1-simulated sound, all the speakers (the rear) have a rich sound and convincing at the reasonable price with very good performance. Even at high sound amplifier, the sound remains clear and clean, the bass really has pressure.
Who can therefore be put off by the many negative reviews should know that it is because often that the appropriate users are overwhelmed with the correct setting of the system. The same problems also occur in other 5.1 system, because for example, music is almost always passed as a stereo signal and the rear speakers just get no proper signal due to incorrect setting. Either one provides these boxes on a stereo sound. If you (like me) use the Realtek HD Audio Manager, you can activate the "speaker fill" there, so for stereo sources a virtual environment for surround systems is emulated. The result is an all-round feeling even in music or other stereo audio sources. If the sound still be distorted, so the volume of the rear speakers should be adjusted.
Even in games can convince with a great all-around sound system.
If all this is too complicated or too costly, the you should look for a 2.1 system. All others will be using this system have their joy! It is really recommendable. Therefore 5 stars.
