I personally disagree with Steven's opinion of this system. I think it delivers too much bass, right to the point of constant audible distortion. I got this system as a birthday present and presently using it with my PC. It works fine with my usual Director presentations, but the bass goes all crazy when I listen to my CDs.
All in all, it is quite a good set, apart from the bass problem, which I eliminated by putting the subwoofer some 4 metres from my PC. However, if you really want a good subwoofer/satellite system for your PC, I would recommend the Bose Acoustimass Multimedia System, which my colleague uses for her games.

While passing through the row's of computers in my school's computer department something really caught my ear and my attention.It was the BostonAcoustic Micromedia speaker system whch was playing some R&B mp3's out one computer system they were showcasing. I had to investigate because these speakers were so small yet so powerful. They gave out a tremendous bass which first caught my attention, but it wasn't "boomy" it was smooth and clear. The top notes created a soothing atmosphere, the mid notes gave strength and depth to the music. The range of the frequencies all across the board were balanced and very tight. I want to know if my review is just b.s. which it probably is so please add a comment if you have listened to BostonAcoustic's MicroMedia speakers. I'm just a casual listener but I know what I like and when my ears are pleased.

I bought the MicroMedia for my PC 3 days ago. I listen to a lot of mp3 these days. My Compaq Presario came with a pair of JBL Pro speakers. While they are adequate for normal applications, the music lack the "omph" factor.

Each time I passed by a computer shop, a 3-pc system would be on demo. However, they were mainly used for games. A 3-pc powered subwoofer system will definitely beat the normal 2-pc multimedia speakers! So when this particular shop played music on their Boston Acoustics, it really caught my attention. The music came through beautifully. I auditioned both the BA635 and the MicroMedia and decided on the latter.

I've been listening my mp3 for no less than 6 hours a day. No listening fatigue. The music is "full bodied" and the timing is spot on. Bass is taut and each bass note is distinct. No such thing as a "one-note" bass. It is also tonally accurate.

The subwoofer is placed on the lower shelf of my computer desk which is about 3 in from the floor and 1 ft from the rear wall. The satellites are placed on the sides of my 17 in monitor. Subwoofer level is set at 11.30 o'clock.

Grouses: 1. No power switch on the subwoofer. 2. The cables are connected from the front of the subwoofer. Strange.

I have not auditioned the Bose Acoutimass Multimedia speakers, but I have a pair of AM 5 II hooked up to my regular hi-fi. The AM 5 II is great for background music.
