«  Report footprint ideal power / »

Best value: Excellent
I fell for these two small speakers to sound in a Mac Book and to enjoy a good sound quality in a small footprint.

I tried (in store) a good twenty many system 2.1 and almost nothing holds the comparison in terms of sound quality at this price, some more bass but mid / high unflattering, while Bose Companion hold the road even at maximum, always with quality and stereo rendering very clean and accurate, it's pretty impressive.

The sound is right, it is a little closer rendering monitor speakers, so no "boom boom" profusely, but sound quality on top, especially compared to the reduced size.
Perhaps it would lack a control bass / treble to be perfect, which allow it to adjust the sound according to the source, but as this system is primarily dedicated to PC use it is easy to use internal equalizer settings.

Another interesting point: the sound never spit, if you enter too strong there as a limiter / compressor loads to reduce everything to keep the cleanest possible sound, the bass tend to "slow down" to avoid saturate, so it is a system that will appreciate in the medium volume, although you can still not send a lot of volume anyway.

Otherwise ... I launched into the power estimation, since no reference is made anywhere ... So after my feelings and having pushed the volume to maximum, I would say that the power is around 15 watts per speaker, which is already excellent considering the size.

Value / cheap: it's Bose, it usually costs much more expensive (the Companion models are 20 250 €), so the quality is there for a reasonable price, now I also think that this kit is preferred to a PC or a Mac book, or for someone who does not want to bother with a 2.1 system often of lower quality but more powerful in the bass.

Very good small speakers for audiophiles who do not want to ruin.
