NOT BAD @ THE PRICE.

YO DO REALISE THAT THIS IS ONLY THE SPEAKERS!!! DON'T YOU.

FOR A BETTER SOUND YOU NEED A BETTER RMS SPEAKER OUT PUT (WATTS). BUT AS IVE SAID THIS WOULD DO OK.

ONLY HAVE A LITTLE TECHI KNOWLEDGE FROM A PREVIOUS LIFE SO BETTER TO GET SOME MORE ADVICE.

BUT IT LOOKS GOOD, AND THATS WHAT MAKES MOST MUMS HAPPY.

Their power is probably ok - but I'd imagine the build quality, sound quality and reliabilty of these is questionable.

From the specs there isn't much low end sound (bass) even with the sub - so there may be a bit of a 'tinny' sound to it.

For £120 you could pick up an end of line Sony/Kenwood/JVC etc surround system with an amp included.
