    Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • The USB audio box supports Dolby & DTS 5.1 and does so without additional sound cards eliminating the need to open the PC or having to deal with compatibility issues.
    • Q-Space has the ability to decode multiple channels emulating 5.1 out of a standard 2 or 4 channel signal.
    • Color-coded wiring harnesses make installation clean and easy.
    • Speakers are of good quality. The sub is wood, and the surrounds are poly.
    • Decent pivoting wall mounting brackets.
    • InterVideo software bundle (WinDVD And WinRip) is fairly decent software to get for a speaker set.

    Cons

    • The RB-61 Control Unit is a bit bulky. Can't we incorporate the audio box and control box into one unit?
    • Lots of bass and lots of treble but not a whole lot in between. Why would I expect anything different?
