picked up a monsoon pm-14 computer sat-sub system last year on closeout at circuit city for $60, .. excellent sound and built very well, .. and since that point my reference for what PC sound systems should sound like. i prefer it to the klipsch systems (expecially given what i paid for it)my one criticism would be the x-over point of 200Hz, .. which can result in localization of bass/midbass from the subwoofer if not placed somewhat equidistant between the sats.
