GREAT SOUND!!!
I called Newegg to tell them what was up. The awesome CS rep read the tracking report and offered a full refund for all 4 (!!) speakers or to ship new ones. I couldn't lie...I told her I had two of them, somehow they shipped separately, and to please ship just 2 new ones.
These babies are great! Generally speaking, I can hear all the minor differences in all audible circumstances like MP3 compression, bass cutoffs etc; I mean, I hear phones ringing before they ring!
I ordered 4 of these when on sale for ~199; I got two within 5 buisiness days; UPS tracking showed that the other two (shipped separately) were damaged in transit and being sent back() A later same-day tracking post said "I" 'turned down the shipment' (!!!) UPS isn't the most trustworthy company.
