I am giving these these and the Soundsticks one last look, before I make a decision which is going to be really soon. I know there are probably many owners out there that own a pair of these speakers/sub.

And I have read the review on MacNN. It was somewhat helpful. The only one I have read so far. And it seems that the monsoons are speakers that can make your whole room shake. I have also heard the sub is cabable of even better bass than the Soundsticks.

Remember I wanna crank my music loud, I have some heavy tracks I wanna play and don't wanna blow my speakers but wanna get some good loud sound. Well maby not that loud... But you know what I mean.

So owners here is your chance to have yoru say, post pics whatever you have to do sell me.

My advice:
www.bostonacoustics.com

I have two sets of BA635's hooked up via a minijack splitter. The sound from even ONE set is awesome, especially for the price.

The BA4800's are more expensive, but are simply incredible. They make the Monsoons sound... disappointing

IMO, of course.

I've heard the monsoons and I've heard better... go with Cipher's suggestion, or perhaps some Klipsch promedias. Midiland makes some nice systems too.

Well, I've heard the small ones and the big ones, so I suppose that means the 700s and 2000s... I hardly remember how they sound now but I know I wasn't that impressed (I wasn't impressed when I listened to the klipsch either)... I guess I just have higher expectations
