What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Harman/Kardon Soundsticks II 3-Piece Plug and Play Multimedia Speaker System
- The sound is adequate for the size, price and design of the speakers.
- Sound truly remarkable with deep bass (for size and price point), great mid and high range, and smart appearance.
- For the price, size, and sound quality, these speakers are fantastic!
- If you're considering these speakers, you probably want good sound, a small footprint, and a good price.
- The only negative I've noticed is that since the sub-woofer is small, you have to place it fairly close to the middle of the satellite speakers.
Bose Companion 3 Series II 2.1 Computer System
- The two small speakers on stands taking small space on desk. And also the stands can be easily removed.
- The two speakers are incredibly small, as Bose products usually are.
- As I wanted a small speaker set I've got this two tiny footprints.
- The subwoofer is relatively compact and easily fits under a desk.
- The weird thing, however, is that the subwoofer is absolutely enormous. It is, in fact, too deep for my shelf on my desk.

- Just hang the speakers on each push pin and your done. Easily adjustable for sound and separation.
- I am not a fan of 5.1 systems so i wanted a good basic 2.1 stereo speaker system and these speakers were the best choice.
