    At Least They're Not Ugly!

    Sorry. I just had to continue the Clint Eastwood theme.

    The speakers are black. Thank goodness. If they came in white there'd be another mark against them.

    Also, the satellites come with nice metal brackets to screw into the walls. The speakers themselves have threaded inserts in the back of each of them so they can screw into each included bracket. The brackets pivot and lock so the speakers can be angled appropriately.

    The audio box is small and doesn't need to be out in the open. Although the buttons are handy, I rarely used them. The Control Center on the other hand is rather bulky, and needs to be out in the open so the remote can work. As I said, though: I rarely used the remote. It was reminiscent of the receiver I used to have in my car that came with a remote. If I were going to take my hands off the wheel and my eyes off the road to play with a remote for my receiver, why wouldn't I do so to just tune the actual receiver sitting only 9 inches to the right of my knee?
