Strengths: Clean lines, simple installation and use, very good audio response for their size, firewire connection = dead easy!

Weaknesses: Only one minor issue - we use these with a 30" Apple Cinema Display - the connector cable between the primary / secondary speakers just fits. Another 3-6" would have made it perfect.

Summary: We've used these speakers for a couple of months now and continue to be impressed with their tonal range and quality of sound. We were looking for a reasonably priced set of small speakers, and the firewire aspect was attractive. Plug and play. We use Apple's Front Row controller to adjust volume since we use these to watch DVDs with. Installation was easy and we've had no challenges in their use. We continue to be impressed with their output considering their size - only a 2-unit system, after all. Very happy with them - we like 'em!!
