 Great sound for the price August 27, 2008
I took a long while to decide on what my next set of speakers would be. I was using a cheap ($40) set that I bought at a vendor show 5 yrs ago. They worked fine but I knew I could do much better. I finally decided to go with the G51s and I am not sorry. The sound quality is more than adequate for what I do which is listening to mp3s, playing some games, and watching the occasional movie.
 Extending Sataellite August 16, 2008
Does anyone have suggestions about products to lengthen the satellite speaker locations for this product?

For the price of these speakers, I might install some in my car! The bass is amazing thanks Amazon! Cheapest price out there on these.
Great stuff August 9, 2008
These speakers are great. I've played tons of movies on them, played games, and just listened to music. They haven't given me a single problem and they sound great. I'm no audiophile so I can't get too technical but they work and sound awesome to me.
The only issue I can come up with to mark down on them is that I can't plug in headphones into the little control pod with one hand. Its a tad annoying but that's the only issue I've come across.
Other than that its been great and it will be even greater when I get my mail in rebate cash back.
 Horrible for music. July 25, 2008
These are fine (the subwoofer is great) if you're going to use them for sources where the audio is already mixed for a 5.1 setup (gaming or watching DVDs), but horrible when it comes to music.
There are basically two options for music - a basic mode in which stereo is delivered solely by the two front satellites (which works fine, but then why bother with a 5.1 speaker system?), or the "Music Matrix" mode which supposedly "enhances stereo music" (sounds like a great idea; in practice it ruins the music) by converting it to 5.1 surround sound.
What this "Music Matrix" mode tries to do is break down the stereo signal into the different channels represented by the 5.1 - which sounds great, but in practice just seems to shift the high-range audio to the rear satellites. The result is front speakers lacking treble and rear speakers lacking bass. This might be fine if it did this consistently, but it doesn't. You can hear parts of songs shift noticeably from the front to the rear and back (imagine a single drum beat being split into sections so that it resembles static - very distracting), and for no apparent reason.
I tried using these to replace my old Altec Lansing ADA 885 system, but I can't handle such poor quality audio. I'm trying the higher-end Logitech Z-5500 next - hopefully those will do better on the hardware decoding front.
