Those on a tight budget would do well to consider this 2.1 set

Good bass, feature-rich remote, wall-mountable satellites, well-priced

No bass control on the remote, short satellite cables, average mids and highs

Design

Looking at the set, you'll probably say it's "simple and pleasant." The set has two standard-looking satellites, which can be wall-mounted or placed on a table with the aid of the detachable stands.



The satellites' 2.5-inch drivers deliver the highs and the mids, and also shed some load off the sub. We must mention that the satellites' cables are short; of course, they can be extended, but it's always best to have longer cables provided. The relatively small subwoofer houses a 5.25-inch driver and an air vent on the right. The placement of the vent on the right makes it necessary to place the vent facing outward of a cabinet, else it could create a bit of jarring.

The sub houses the bass control knob and the rest of the connectors on the left.



The odd placement of the bass control makes it difficult to access for minor adjustments. The overall design is still pretty satisfying for someone primarily looking for performance.

The Remote



The remote is wired, and the cable is pretty long compared to those of the satellites. It has a fair bit of functionality compared to the many remotes I've seen for 2.1 systems. It features a large jog dial for a volume control. Beside this, there's a tiny button to Turn On/Off the speakers, which doubles as a Mute button. The remote has a treble control on the side. There is provision for headphone output and AUX input; the latter makes it convenient to connect your portable media player. There's also a MIC and MIC-out on the remote.
