    It is just physics... only so much air can be moved by a box that size.

    Subwoofers are not large for no reason.

    From RainyDayInterns: did we say this right???

    Does the "double negative" give the same meaning in this case as : "Subwoofers are large for a reason"???

    The more we read it, the more confused we got...

    I didn't know the MBP had a slot-loading record player for Beatles music. That's cool, I wish they would release digital music already, and let the interwebz have it.

    As a mother I can spot 10 or 12 things that could only lead to major catastrophies and #1 is having a heart attack for paying that much for speakers!

    @Curves: My first though when I saw these (before reading your comment)...

    "Police report states death by speaker impalement."

    Then again, I would not be surprised is Marilyn Manson orderer the 5.1 setup

    Ok, the only thing I'm missing is the actual scale of these things. If they are desktop size then you would have to be retarded to buy them, but who knows they could be as big as a house!

    I'll give you $26.30 for 'em, if you take off the stupid metal bits

    Thanks Jesus great job, I've been good on my diet for nearly 2 weeks now and after reading the description my sub-concious mind took control over my body, made me walk over to my cupboard, took out pancakes and maple syrup and then made my body consume them together when I really didn't want to...

    @BergenCountyJC can't beat MW2: Or it got addicted to heroine after being ridiculed by the other blocks for knocking the damn tower down.

    I've heard the story a thousand times. Doing drugs, going broke, sucking on splinters in the alleyway behind Denny's. And the voices! Always with the voices. They never stop: "jenga, jenga, j-j-j-jenga!!"

    Then the stress of work!

    You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top, you take a block from the middle and you put it on top. That's how you build the tower; you just don't stop. You keep building that tower putting blocks on top. It teeters and it totters, but you don't give up; it weebles and it wobbles, but you build it on up. You take a block from the bottom and you put it on top, you take a block from the middle and you put it on top, till someone knocks it over, and that's when you stop, but you can start all over putting blocks on top."

    IT NEVER ENDS!

    It's a shame, but, you know, there's help out there.

    I purchased a set of H/K soundsticks, and I'm sure they sound way way better than this setup for not much more (I paid just $20 more than this). Apple's site lists them for $169, but they can be had new for a great deal cheaper if you shop around.

    It will probably improve the available sound from your laptop but let's be realistic here - you won't start any parties with 3" speaker, that is USB-powered(couple of watts to the speaker itself).
    Interesting concept though.

    i've gotta say i'm a fan of the styling too, but once you're looking at spending $80(+) on a speaker setup i'd like to invest in more than just a subwoofer (because let's face it, mb and mbp speakers, like all laptop speakers, are just there so that they can be listed as a feature...and not because they add much of anything).
