Rating: - Very happy with my purchase
I am very happy with these speakers.
I replaced a cheap 2.1 set of speakers, and this sub-woofer is much better sounding than what I had before. Of course you could get even better sound by spending a lot more money, but I believe these are a very good value.
Remember you might need to reconfigure Windows and/or your BIOS and/or your Sound Card for a 5.1 speaker setup. When you are properly setup, you do NOT need to turn on the "Matrix" feature. That is only needed when you connect it to a simple stereo source like a video game console. Your computer will "upgrade" your stereo music to a 5.1 signal when configured correctly, so like I said, you can leave the Matrix button turned off when connected to your computer.
The only negative, as others have shared, is the CABLES ARE SHORT. Add $15 to the price to include a trip to Radio Shack for some RCA extension cables.
I am stilling giving this a 5-start rating, since I knew about the cable length issue before I bought it.
Rating: - Best Speaker System for the $$$$$
You'll get the most bang for your buck with this speaker system for under $100. Make sure you have a good sound card, or you won't be able to experience the full 5.1 experience.
Rating: - 1 speaker system doesn't work. bad

Rating: - Good set of Speakers...
I've had the Creative Inspire 5100 for a longe time (5 years), and now I have upgraded to this ones..
Needless to mention about the price tag.. It is a real good value for the money....
The Good points I can mention are:
a) Nice and loud sound (without getting to much technical details of it)
b) Nice Bass as well...
c) The stands ! You can have them in 2 positions and it helps to attach to walls... Really a very good thing about this set.
d) The central speaker stand, that attached to my 22" monitor.. Just perfect..
e) The Matrix feature, where even my notebook (with one way out only) get's a 5.1 sound (computer generated, but is better than nothing !)
The Cons:
a) Lack of protection for the Bass Speaker (such as a grill), which is located at the very bottom of it...
b) Needed longer cable to the rear speakers... I had to make an extra lenght connections to mine...
c) Lack of a tweeter, at least for the central speaker.. It could make the sound a bit better...
But anyway... You will be pleased..... I don't want to get too much tech. about the sound.. It is a very good set, specially considering the price of it !
