If you can afford it, look around for the Edifier C2! :)

Got them. First impressions: Highs are crisp and clear - great, mids are well.. ok, but the bass.. bass is a fail :) Not punchy at all, cant get low.. overall - could be better. Thanks anyway.

On the second thought.. its bass its just enough :) its not as kicky as my Altec Lansing v2521, but it's still pretty good. So - recommended set of small 2.1 speakers on the budget :)

Damn, sorry to hear about that, sometimes you can get a better bass if you move it to the corner or equalize it. I have a 12 inch subwoofer in my room and the bass is low where I am sitting but the bass is REALLY overpowering if I stand over near my door. Anyway if it's bass you're after look around for a used Z 2300 by Logitech or a new Z 523.

Nah, not at all. I was looking for a good balanced speakers for the money, and i must say edifier are good for the price. I was just expecting them to be better at everything, compared to my 30 eur cheaper altec lansing :) When u set your expectations too high you always feel kinda disappointed later. Anyway as i said before, i can easily recommend those speakers as they do the job and i believe they r worth the money paid.
