Just wondered.

Anyone got theirs yet?

I got a cryptic robotic message on my work voicemail yesterday saying my "Evesham Micro" order would be delivered today. I presume it's the same people, as they sell the Evesham iPlayer, but the order status still shows "invoiced". It's annoying they refuse to deliver to work addresses - there may not be anyone in to receive it.

I got mine last week, great set of speakers, pity the on off switch is behind the sub but other then that they great.

They are now expecting 231 of these on 16th March 2007 so thats a whole month later than they were saying yesterday, I guess they just make these dates up then and just how do you order 231 of something anyway?

I would definitely say so, Carmen.

You could pay a lot more and still end up with tinny speakers which these are def NOT.

And you wont always get a blue neon on the front;:)

My verdict: subwoofer works well but, as I suspected from the photos, the small satellite speakers are quite poor - very boxy-sounding. Definitely worth £13 but if you can find an old pair of unamplified PC speakers to connect instead of the supplied satellite ones, it's likely to sound better. You could splash out on a pair of Apple Pro speakers on eBay, chop off the plug, bare the ends of the wires and attach to the speaker terminals on the subwoofer. A fairly pricey solution but they sound good and look marvellous.
