Most Critical Review

What's better at this price point?

Corsair SP2200 46 w 2.1 Gaming Audio Series PC Speaker System

Pros: Good compact size. They hint without achieving, a flat response (without the subs). Decent output. Combined, neither the satellites nor the subs overwhelm with output, so here they are in balance. Good price.

Cons: Not much response above 12,000 cycles or below 150-200. Below this is truly murky or absent. The subs are a bit slower than the satellites, which can throw off the pace with music. Micro-dynamics (finger snaps, gun shots) are better than the macro's (the ratio between soft and loud). So, dynamically and musically compressed. The coloration is dark rather than light. There are other issues, but for a $100, so what.

Overall Review: I've been an audiophile for many years. I've found most computer speakers to be spectacularly mediocre. A quantum step above paper and comb. I am, however severely space confined, and for now, these fit the bill.

Memory/boot drive issues

Pros: Works well. Overclocks well. Nice looking.

Cons: More than 6gb's of memory and my boot drive shows major decrease and a continuing precipitous drop in available space.

Overall Review: Even aside from this issue, this board is overpriced. Can't wait for x79.
