I didn’t have any problems hooking up the speakers. After hooking up the speakers I connected them to my mp3 player. I listened to them at low and high volume and found the sound to be very clear and balanced at both levels. I tried turning them away from me and still could hear the sound clearly without any noticeable difference. They seemed to have even frequency response across the entire spectrum, although I had no way of accurately measuring this. They didn’t have the accentuated harsh high end you hear in many other speakers, particularly when listening to digital audio. The fact that they can be used with the included amp as well as being hooked up to a larger stereo system makes them a good value. I think they make a very nice listening package.
