These speakers are intelligent and unbelievably awesome. Plugged into my PC with an NVIDIA sound card and NVIDIA mixer that's free to download, you can train and manipulate the entire sound output to a myriad of effects. The equalizer with sliding controls is fun to adjust from listening to thumping techno or atmospheric ambient, you can make it all sound as if your in an auditorium, a cave, a forest, padded cell to even underwater.

The speakers produce great range and the only drawback is lack of speakers cable. I would like to see it least a couple spare extra lengths of extension cords included so you can have an ideal set up. You will be unable to split the wire due to connectors on the end and will have to buy dedicated extension leads if you want to do this. I would also like to see the power on/off button on the base box instead on one satellite speaker.

From the optimum position between all speakers you will not be disappointed with the incredibly rich sound and as you step out of the zone into another room the speakers lose their effect but can still deliver a decent and pleasing sound. For the price I can't recommend them enough, I would have happily paid £100 pounds if that was the price tag on the shelf, that's how impressed I was when I bought them but the key to maximising the best the speakers can do, it helps if you have a good software package that controls each speaker from a control panel.

5 Star rating for me (needs more cable lengths though or ability to send away for more, in my opinion)
