    not sure but all the specs look good. i wonder if this model is a refub. this item usually goes for 130 on ebay.

    Anyone have this speaker system. Is it any good. Thinking about getting it.

    I was looking into getting the transparent Harman Kardon Computer Speakers but they cost a grip $170.

    The X after the model number is usually an indication that it is a refurb.

    Great Speakers...

    I Personally Own This Set Of Speakers And
    Just Order A Pair Of Cambridge Soundworks DTT350's
    To Replace Them Since My New SB Live Platinum 5.1
    S/PDIF Was Only A 1/8mm Plug Not RCA As On The
    Altecs. I Hooked Up The Cambridges And Sent Them
    Packing, They Don't Compared To The Sound Of
    The ADA880's - The Subwoofer Alone Hits HARD
    And Produces Excellent Bass Response And Has
    Great 5.1 Quality Sound. To Use This Set
    With The 5.1 Cards If You Don't Have A DVD
    Decoder With RCA S/PDIF Out Just Run Out To
    Radio Shack Grab A Female To 1/8mm Mono RCA Adapter
    Slap That Bad Boy Into The Digital Out And The Other
    To The Line Out And Boom Ya Got 5.1 Decoding Since
    The Crossover Accepts Digital & Analog 5.1 Source.

    Thumbs down

    WARNING! They are selling the ACS-54's refurbished. Look at the model number at the top. The description IS for the ADA880's, but that's just an error. The ACS-54's aren't too bad, but definitely not as great as the others.

    This was just a caveat

    Cool got ada880

    i got a set of these speakers
    havent hooked up the 5 speaker setup, so i have
    the surround speakers plugged up on top of the main speakers.
    i have them plugged into a spdif input(coax only)
    and its works great on those dolby digital games
    and the dvds work ok.
    its kinda good because they have a 'fake' center speaker
    in the surround mode.

    ok set, but i rather get the thx set.
    but at that price ill buy; it got a refirb model too.
    but i got em for about 100$
