That's funny that they are advertising it as the deal of the day, I bought these 5 days ago at the same price...

Thanks for the great deal! I finally figured out how to sign back into this forum just to say thanks! Too bad I'm so cheap I went for the free 7-9 day shipping, but hey, I'm all about the bottom line! cheers

Can any of you guys who have these tell me if the satellites have a keyhole-type slot on the back (in other words, are wall-mountable)?
A few weeks ago, I purchased the Creative Inspire T3000 2.1 system for about the same price after 2 $10 rebates. The sound is ok, just doesn't have a lot of power - I think the problem is I'm coming down from a more powerful Boston Acoustics 5.1 system that I just didn't have room for anymore.
Anyone have any opinions on how these compare to the Creative speakers I have now? For $20 shipped, I'm probably going to pick these up anyway, even if they aren't wall-mountable (they seem small enough to fit on my desk), but If I won't see much improvement I won't bother.
Thanks for any info,
Roy

i ordered these 2 days ago, and they just arrived. they KICK ASS for $20. They go very loud. i love em. in order to hook them up to my computer i needed a Y plug. Red and White female AV plugs on one end, and a 1/4 inch (headphone male jack) on the other end. I already had one, so i plugged, and BOOYAH,
great deal, thanks to everyone in this thread who said they were good, and to who posted this.

I assume I'll need something like this to hook these up to my iPod/laptop?

There's an auxillary connection to the bass, which is what a lot of PC sound cards would use to connect to it. It would use the same wire that connects your regular PC speakers to the sound card. Just need the 1/8" jack on both sides of the wire. That's how I hooked mine up, no Y adapter needed.

Just set these up last night....AWESOME!!! World of difference compared to the crappy tv speakers. For 20 bucks you can't get better. The subwoofer is a little big, but I hid that behind the lounger, so now you just hear the bass but don't know where it's coming from. Been watching season 1 of 24 and it sounds amazing and the USC game last night sounded awesome as well.

I'm late to the party but they're still offering them for $19.99 with free shipping just not through the Deal of the Day link. I needed new speakers for my Mame cabinet and these should do nicely. Thanks.




. One question, how does it connect to your XBOX or TV.
