The quality of the sound is really very good
Powerful sound and they can handle a
lot of volume. They sound better if played loud. Great for parties and
for really knocking down the walls. They work with any amp/receiver, but
a very strong amp will bring out their best. While a weaker amp will
display more of their shortcomings. If you are looking for an
inexpensive and "decent" set of speakers, these will work great.
However, they are enormous for bookshelf speakers. If you have a
critical ear, and are used to speakers costing more then $400 a pair,
then these probably won't pass your test.
a 25 watt amp and they sound great! the bass is crisp and has a
noticeable presence, the highs sound clear and compliment the bass and
the mids tie it all together quite well. Do not Reach the "super highs" or the "super
lows" but great L/R speakers. A relatively affordable stereo
system in my bedroom, not a particularly large space, and when set apart
from each other by several feet I can enjoy the best sound possible
from these speakers.
Pro: Less expensive Speakers that sound and look great. May buy more for
future 5.1. I like the Larger size. Far Better than listening through a
ihome or your tv speakers.
Con: Rear Facing Port, not a big deal just not in the front. Much better than listening through a ihome or your tv speakers. You can get better sound from other speakers, but you'll pay more for that luxury. These suit my needs very well; One thing to note that some have mentioned before--these are 20 inches tall; they really don't look like bookshelf speakers to me! I suppose they would fit in a large wall unit or on a shelf but they can just as well stand on the floor.

Apple iMac MC813LL/A 27-Inch Desktop (NEWEST VERSION)
Next-Generation Quad-Core Intel Processor
This iMac is
powered by a second-generation Intel Core i5 quad-core processor (dubbed
"Sandy Bridge"), which provides breakthrough digital media management,
content creation, and 3D gaming capabilities. With updated Intel Turbo
Boost Technology 2.0, the latest Core i5 increases speed automatically
for whatever you're doing, dynamically accelerating performance to match
your workload.
Intel's Hyper-Threading Technology enables each
core of your processor to work on two tasks at the same time, delivering
the performance you need for smart multitasking. And you'll enjoy a
rich set of new features for a stunning and seamless visual experience
with no additional hardware. The "Sandy Bridge" Core i5 processor also
provides faster access to the installed RAM, with an integrated memory
controller to connect fast 1333 MHz memory directly to the processor.
Revolutionary Thunderbolt Technology
Developed by Intel with
collaboration from Apple, high-speed Thunderbolt I/O (input/output)
technology delivers an amazing 10 gigabits per second of transfer speeds
in both directions. Built into the iMac, the Thunderbolt port allows
you to connect to new Thunderbolt-compatible peripherals as well as
existing USB and FireWire peripherals using simple adapters. You'll be
able to move data up to 20 times faster than with USB 2.0 and more than
12 times faster than with FireWire 800, and you can daisy-chain multiple
high-speed devices without using a hub. Thunderbolt also supports
DisplayPort for high resolution displays and works with existing
adapters for HDMI, DVI and VGA displays.
Bright, Colorful Display
This
27-inch, all-in-one Apple iMac features an edge-to-edge glass display
that utilizes LED backlighting for improved brightness and energy
efficiency as well as In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, which
delivers consistent color across a wide 178-degree viewing angle.
Clutter-Free Desktop
You'll
be able to cut the cord with the included Wireless Keyboard and Magic
Mouse, both of which connect to the iMac using Bluetooth wireless
technology. Additionally, the Magic Mouse features a seamless
Multi-Touch surface that enables you to use the same intuitive gestures
used on the MacBook trackpad to easily scroll through long documents or
swipe to move forward or backward through a collection of web pages or
photos. And it can be configured as either a single- or two-button
mouse.
And with the FaceTime HD camera placed above the display in the
iMac's thin aluminum and glass design, you'll be able to make video
calls in HD 720p resolution to friends and family on another iMac or
MacBook. Additionally, you'll be able to connect to those using an iPad
2, iPhone 4, or iPod touch.
