    Well the time has come to replace my 5.1 system in my office, and I want something thats compact and has less wires. I was looking at this. Im wondering how well they sound as it seems to be a perfect system for my new setup. Plus it has 2 wires compared to the 7 or so my current system has. Anyone here every see/own/use these before?

    ComputerTV is a CompUSA product review channel, they will always give good reviews for all their products.

    I haven’t used it but I can assure you that it will be a HUGE downgrade from your 5.1 system. With that tiny subwoofer and fixed satellites I don’t think they are even comparable to even a standard 2.1 system from Logitech or Creative. I'd recommend a normal 2.1, but if desk space is more important than sound quality then go with that speaker bar.

    Ill bring this back to say that the system does compare to a 2.1 system, it may not have the same bump from the woofer as an expensive bose 2.1 but the sound is perfect for my tastes. Comparing this sound setup to my old 5.1 is like comparing an apple to a car tire, the 5.1 has alot better sound then this. But then again Im trying the minimalist approach to my desk and this fit the bill perfectly.
