X-230 2.1 Speaker System

Summary: In a unique setup, this model is CAPABLE of sounding better than it does out of the box, but for this incredibly low price you can't really be too picky. With proper placement of the subwoofer and a little positioning the audio image is not distorted nor does it clip the amp with extended low frequencies. The 100Hz response is a little too present and sloppy, but placing the sub on its side helped this as did use of the EQ in iTunes to warm up the mids in the 250Hz and 500Hz ranges as well as to reduce the 2K bite. For a budget set of speakers, you do get a lot for your money - if you dial them in correctly.
