(FWIW, my reference system is Hales Revelation 2 speakers with a Bryston amp, and my bedroom system is CSW New Ensemble III with a Harman/Kardon receiver, so I have at least some experience shopping at a wide range of price points.

I am giving a bunch more as gifts this year to my friends in dorm rooms or on a budget. I defy anyone to find a $40.00 set of speakers that sounds anywhere near these. Yes, the MicroWorks is a lot better (great midrange compared to these), but it costs three times as much. For smaller rooms and moderate volume levels, *and with careful placement and adjustment of bass unit*, these are a STEAL. I have a set of these in my home office, another set at work, and have recommended to various friends. I asked a friend to help me and he pulled the black rear speaker cable (of the two cables, black and green) out and voilĂ it worked, BUT the two. but just 2 of the 4 speakers are working. If you are expecting to be able to favorably compare these speakers to systems costing *an order of magnitude* more, you are living on another planet. Hi I just bought a new Cambridge SoundWorks speaker set (4 speakers, 1 subwoofer) and connected it correctly to my sound card. You cannot compare PCworks (US$39.00) to even the lowest-priced of the models you mention (NHT SuperZero are about US$300/pair, *plus* they require a high quality amp to really perform, kicking it up to at least US$600).
