Great Review. Finally some audio manufacturers are giving some high end options for multimedia.

I have the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 which is a good set at a cheaper price range.

But somehow the only thing lacking in the swans is a subwoofer just so that we could get lower bass as we are paying such a hefty sum for two multimedia speakers.

I have owned a pair of the S200A's for over six months. They are PERFECT, not only for multimedia, but also as a secondary (bookshelf) audio system, where I am using them with a Squeezebox as the sole source. My only complaint is that they lack standby power mode (auto turn on with an incoming signal). They definitely offer big bang for the buck, even without a sub!
