helluva deal!

Awww.... little speakers. How cute...

Who said they wanted one of these? Someone should be very happy that their woot prayers were answered.

What are these used for?

These are awesome. I have a pair which my gf has been borrowing for a while. Bought a pair of AV40 this morning otherwise I'd be in for one.

Would these be good speakers use on a LG LCD TV? I suppose I'd need a receiver and everything? The speakers aren't that great on it, and I'm looking for a cheaper upgrade. Sad that I missed out on the sound bar

Own a pair of these. Amazing speakers, perfect sound unless you're expecting booming bass. If you love music, you owe it to yourself to buy these at this price.

Speaking.

They are speakers.

Dacoops3 wrote:What are these used for?

These are primarily used for sound production.

$100+ on amazon for new

interesting reviews to say the least avg 4/5 stars

To drown out the sound of your sobs because you have a pathetic life.

Have had a set of these for about a year, got them from newegg for more money. Really like them a lot. These are a big step up from the typical PC speakers for not that much more.

Im in for one, excellent for studio or recording

I did! I bought a pair as soon as they came on! Thanks woot :D

I need some 5.1 to go with the mounts i got earlier.

Just purchased it and realized my computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. :\ Oh well, I'll just use them when I upgrade my PC.

Why does this pair of speakers require a native USB Port?

Yeah, I impulse purchased it too, I guess i'm screwed.

Also, speakers now have system requirements :D

Buy these! They're glorified computer speakers...but they're glorious. You don't need a receiver - you can use a normal 1/4(or 1/8?) cable like you would for any other computer speakers (or various other forms of connection if you have a fancy soundcard).

I thought they were a great deal at $100.

Aww crap, they had requirements?

Yeah! Congrats!

How much better do the AV40's sound than these, I wonder.

There are some jerky commenters, unfortunately. Gratuitous attacks on weight, nice.

Seriously? They put minimum system requirements on SPEAKERS? These will work with a tape deck... hell, these'll work with a RECORD PLAYER.

For the same reason they need 1GB of ram. Bad copy/paste job.

What requirements does your computer not meet?

Hmmm...woot doesn't seem as cheap as it used to be....must be trying to make quarterly sales targets

Don't worry, I think those are mis-listed and someone forgot to delete it.

You can directly connect to these speakers with the 1/8th inch cable or RCA cables (should be in the box, too).

See the listing on Amazon and see the connections available in the back. No special requirements needed. As long as you have a sound card, you are good to go.

If I remember correctly from previous Woot discussions, I believe the requirements are only if you want to use some software that comes with them but is not necessary to simply use the speakers.

My palm just hit my face hard.

Will these work good as rears hooked up to an amp or are they meant for PC?

Dear Woot

I need a speaker bar. That is all.
