Title: Disappointing
Review: Bought a new computer with a Soundblaster Live!5.1 audio card, wanted a 5.1 surround sound system to replace my old trusty pair of Yamaha YST-M10s and YST-MSW5 subwoofer... Really liked the sound of my existing Yamaha setup, so leaned toward Yamaha to replace them. The press reviews favorably reviewed the clear high end sound I like, with some mumblings about inadequate sound depth.The system is nicely designed, and its quality is in line with its price. With the new sound card, the highs were nice and clear, the bass adequate, if a bit muddy, and the midrange sound was thin and raspy. I had to continuously tweak on the graphic eqalizer to get satisfactory sound... was just too much work to make it sound good... I think the satellite speakers are too small to bridge the gap with the relatively large subwoofer.
Is the review positive or negative?
