((THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY)) (THE GOOD) I have been the sole owner of this great speaker set since it was new out of the box. 100% adult owned and never came close to max volume. I like to preserve my hearing. Overall, they are in excellent condition and the bass still can kick HARD!! (THE BAD) The system "as a whole" does have performance issues. Audio cuts in and out a good bit and never stays at consistent volume. However, I have tested each speaker independently and they work AMAZING even yet and could be a great addition to an existing audio set up with RCA connectors. (THE UGLY) I have spent a great deal of research diagnosing the problem. It seems the problem lies with the volume control interface which is also intertwined into the subwoofer. Those smarter than me have posted some of the solder cracks over time and comes loose or breaks all together on some of the circuit boards. Well...... That goes far beyond my head. So thats why im selling so cheap. PLEASE NOTE, the system still does work!! But if someone out there knows or like to tinker with circuit boards......this could be your next project!! And come out with an AMAZING sound system in the end. (((NO RETURNS ACCEPTED))) The box used to ship can only be sent via UPS or Fedex. Lower price reflects because shipping is gonna be on the higher side due to method and box. Thank you in advance for looking!!!
