I looked these up:

The OP has a MAC. These don't work on a MAC, believe it or not.
They're gimmicky USB speakers with 'track indicators' and only 15 watts
per unit--smallish, with no subwoofer. Very little other info is
included except that users re****t that they 'sound great'. These are
truly 'computer' speakers...with much more attention paid to the
'computer' than the 'speaker' part. IMO, not what someone would want
for their 'playback system of choice'.
BUT, YMMV.....
That's the problem with crossposting to a bunch of different groups.
You get opinions that have no bearing on the original issue, which is
listening to music...on a MAC.
