Thinking about buying this...

At first glance, this seems like a good deal to get some decent surround sound speakers for gaming and music. Any comments?

Pfft, I should have known. I set my bid as high as I could possibly imagine paying for this used equipment, with stain, without warrentee, condition unknown and seller unknown. So of course, some clown waits until 20 seconds before the end of the auction and runs it up against some other clowns to almost $100.

Meanwhile you can buy new in box next generation 5300e speakers for just $133.

I remember now why I rarely waste time on Ebay.

Holy Crap! These things are awesome!

See photo for old subwoofer next to new...

I knew the new speakers were nice when I put on "Montgomery Gentry-She Couldn't Change Me", but when I put on "Big Pig - I Can't Break Away - Bill and Ted).mp3" the whole house shook from the intro diddy. WOW! Good speakers really do make a big difference in sound quality (yea yea, "well duh").

Bought these babies for just $114

The only thing is, I think by switching my computer sound sendings to Dolby 5.1 surround, I'm now taking a performance hit. A big performance hit at that. That's annoying.
