I got these as a Christmas present last year; I needed speakers with volume capabilities, as well as a large range of frequencies for music production. Not only were the above criteria solidly ticked off my list, I got the coolest looking speakers I (or any of my music production crew) have ever seen.

First off, they sound awesome; the sound is excellent - well-rounded, and the quality doesn't fade as you scale up the volume like a lot of speakers. The volume control is really cool, it's a touchpad on the left stick, that responds to the slightest pressure. The bass-level dial is at the back, doubling up as the power switch.

They were really easy to set up; all cables were self-explanatory, and when you switch them on they light up - making them look even better. The fact that the sub-woofer points up means that you can place them on the floor, and you don't get nearly as much sub getting absorbed by your carpet or whatever, or indeed into your elderly neighbour's house!

Perfect; pricey, but so worth it!
