The description says they're for everything (not just for comps) and right now I'm sitting on 5 watt cube speaker 15 watt sub LMAO yea yea I know don't even make fun. Is it worth the price though? What's 10%THD?

THD stands for Total Harmonic Distortion. In general, the rule of thumb is to remain below 1% THD at all cost.

10% THD ….well, I would consider those to be vary expensive paper weights, IMHO!

Those are not an upgrade - they are a waste of your money for something that is really not worth mentioning.

They are the steal they appear to be - but not the way you think they are.

That is - they will be happy to steal your money and give you a very cheap, not so great product.

Why not try something like this if you can swing it:

Read the specs on the HT-S770 system... Instead of 9 watts * 5 plus a 12 watt sub, this is 130 watts * 6 plus a 220 watt sub.

Instead of a 4" sub, it has a 10" sub.

Instead of 10% THD - try .08%

Instead of a total weight that's probably 10 pounds, this comes in a box that weighs about 70 pounds.

It is very serious and a great deal for the price. Far, FAR superior to what you are looking at right now.

Don't waste your money on some half baked upgrade when you can save it for a few more months and get something that will really blow away what you have now. You really won't be sorry you did.

Everyone has to start somewhere!


I didn't click on those links but one of the url's had Onkyo HTS770 in it. That is going to be <b>a lot</b> more bang for your buck than those computer speakers!
