"Better than expected - for a pc speaker"

PROS: The sound was better than I thoguht for a "pc speaker". We got one for the office n now im reconcidering my plans to get a yamaha amp and a jbl sub for home. Worked well as a HT alternative with a projector.

CONS: Expensive. Almost an overkill for a pc with small monitor. Scary warning about EMP type destructive power from the sub (wtf?) The cable from sub to controller could be longer and thinner (or it could selfdestruct itself!!).
