Query: Better than expected, and expectations were high!

My boyfriend had mentioned he wanted these, so I bought them as a gift for his birthday. They are definitely worth the money! The sound quality is crisp and clear, with the base not overpowering. Even on the next floor in the house you can still hear the lyrics perfectly. We can hear them throughout the house and never have to turn the volume up past halfway. The only surprise was opening the box and realizing just how large the subwoofer is. Luckily, we have the room for it - but if you think you might be limited on space, please realize that its pretty large, comparative to the speakers. However, the result you get out of it is great. I would recommend these speakers to anyone.
