I've owned these speakers for about 3 years now and they remain the most sleek and futuristic things I own. A friend of mine bought them first and when I heard them I was blown away. I had to get myself a set as soon as possible. I remember when they arrived I played various dance tracks to test them and show them off, which I'm sure was not appreciated by the rest of the family or the rest of the street. They look fantastic either side of my imac and they are very easy to set up and use. Two buttons on one of the speakers control the volume and turn the speakers on and off.
I have had very few problems with these speakers in the time that I've had them, but I have had some mostly of my own making. One of these occurred when I spilt a cup of tea into the subwoofer. As you can see from the pictures the subwoofer is a large dome with a tube down the middle, and not the easiest thing to clean. It took me a good hour to take the thing apart and it was a lot of trouble to put back together. The left speaker has also come apart, possibly due to my carelessness with electronics, though a similar thing happened to my friend's set. I have taped it back together and have had no further problems with it though it does detract from their space age look a little bit.
I would say these speakers offer a very crisp sound and can go rather loud as well which is often great for parties. Definitely worth a buy.
