I've heard it and it sounds pretty good overall but great for that price. You can get the set up from oncall.com for $299 . I'm convinced that you can't beat this product for under $500. Is it a perfect speaker package? Of course not. You really will need to use the subwoofer to fill in the lows because those are some tiny speakers. That said there are similar cubed speakers operting under similar circumstances costing several times more that can not out perform these speakers. If you are looking to spend closer to a grand then you can step up to the HSU Ventriloquist system with one of their great subs starting at about $600, and svsound.com has a new bookshelf 5.1 system for around $1000 as well.
