well buy them already then

But honestly it's an unknown brand and humm I can't really comment... Don't look that great + they're not powerful at all.

Just try them and see it they're any good. That's all I can suggest

hmmm.. i'll give em a whirl

400 watts for $30? Sounds like a jip to me. Then again if thats your price range, go for it I suppose.

If you want really rocking speakers, get Klipsch. The 2.1's go for like $130 these days.

It marks 400 Watts PMPO which I have no clue what that means

and then 12 Watts rms subwoofer and 2 X 7.5 Watts rms satellites ( that sounds more realistic )

logitech z680 is all u need

It depends on what you want to listen. If you wanna listen Celine Dion hits, then it's good enough.

If you want quality, don't even try this kind of sht.

For a cheap solution do as Floorfiller says.

Bwahahahaha, PMPO!!!

That's the stupidest bullshit I've ever seen come out of advertisers in recent times. It's bad enough that they're selling speaker systems that apparently have 400 watts rms output when they only consume 150 watts rms input, but PMPO is by far THE most dubious measure of power I have EVER seen and should never ever be taken seriously.

Literally, "PMPO" means "Peak Momentary Performance Output" - which is the theoretical (i.e. on paper, not in real life), peak-to-peak output power it can handle for about a fraction of a second at a time.

400 watts "PMPO" is generally somewhere between 5 and 30 watts rms. Just so you know. And I'm guessing that the 30 is in pounds? No way I'd pay that much for 'em. But do what ya like Dave.

Edit: I also like how they measure their distortion at 1 W, 1 kHz... I wonder what it would be at 400 W, 15 kHz?

12 watt RMS subwoofer? What a joke! My 500 watt Klipsch ProMedia 5.1 system has like 120 watts going to the subwoofer and 76 to each satellite I believe.

Go with a Klipsch or Logitech system.
