Query: awful, weak, shoddy

Had these speakers for five years until the pot on the volume control got flaky, so I ordered a new one. Same exact model number, same exact design.It was horrible. I can't believe it put out five watts at full blast, while the old one could fill up the room. The sub was MUCH weaker, too. The volume knob stuck about 1/3 of the way up, and I had to really turn it hard to get it to go all the way. HUGE "wall wart" power supply, too.Someone standing next to my desk speaking in a conversational tone drowned out this "premium sound system" when it was at full volume. Pathetic.
