"The best speakers I have ever had!"
Amazing design and unusual technology. Downward firing speakers and 300-watt Audera ClassHD digital amplifier produce extremely high quality sound. Sometimes I feel like a real band plays in front of me. So clear and my ears never get tired of it. Even can sleep with some music on :-) I can hear details in some songs I could not hear on any other system including Technics top-end amplifiers with proper speakers. Just one problem I have come across. In some songs what start with lots of middle and high frequencies and when bass starts after a while I notice little drop of the level of middles and heights afrerwards. Good example could be Thunderstruck by AC/DC or Money For Nothing by Dire Straits. Perhaps that unusual amplifier construction causes this issue. Satellites have a bit thick and wide cables. I understand that satellites are bi-wired (4 wires) but I would really appreciate if it was designed more round. Then it would be easier to hide or use. I bought this system after disappointing experience with Logitech Z-2300. Had to return to a shop because could not stand the sound. When I first time connected Razer Mako and listened to it I loved it straight away. My first impression hardly has been wrong. For instance I hated Logitech Z-2300 from first time I used it. The sound plays very important role in my life. Since a while I switched to MP3 and play all my music from PC or iPod nowadays. Most high-end amplifiers and speakers are constructed to reproduce music from CD. They usually do not sound good with PC or MP3 players. Therefore I decided to go for 2.1 system what is usually capable of great sound from MP3s. Films and games are also great sounding with this system. I am recommending Razer Mako to everyone who appreciates the quality of sound and it is worth that steep price (paid ???225 on ebuyer) without a shadow of doubt. It does deserve 5 stars but I gave it just 4.5 because of that signal dropping issue. Well done Razer and THX :-)

It will be a 4.5 from me, there is lacking a mid range and bass could be better, annoying pod, but overall, the sound is good for music, games, etc.. and looks really nice!
Other-world looks, exceptionally fast, natural and detailed presentation – these curious Eclipse speakers can be immensely satisfying
