Clear rich bass, with distinct treble and higher tones. Great for games, mp3's, or even a small gathering that wants to rock to some music. The output is good. The two cubes are 6+6=12 watts. The sub-woofer is a great 20 watts with a 6.5 inch long throw woofer. If you dont want to go for the more expensive and bigger 5-piece systems, this is the best 3-piece alternative.
On the downside though...there is no treble control, and the subwoofer bass control is on the back of the woofer. So as in my case, if it is tucked in the corner somewhere, then it can be rather cumbersome to turn it up and down. However, I've found that setting it at medium works, cause with my SB!live card, i control the bass and treble from the taskbar "Play control" properties by going into the advanced properties.
Use it with a good card (SB!live..my suggestion) and it will be your best friend....YOur music system will have to file for redundancy.
