Fantastic value
Bought these to add some better sound to a stereo 32″ TV. Very pleased. Bought them at BJs wholesale club for $59 plus tax.
Strong base for small speakers.

Great reputation, horrible design
I purchased the Companion 2 as a backup to my Bose MediaMate speakers. Both cost around the same retail wise.
