Had my soundsticks II for about 7 years now. Amazing sound for the price.
It was this review years ago that sold me. He compared them against a $150k sound system!!!

My only grumbles would be that there is no power switch, so unless unplugged from the wall the blue LED in the bass is always on. Although it had got more faint over time. Also due to the shape of the bass bin, it can become a morgue for dead bugs and things. Though a quick blast from my coke bottle tyre compressor usually flushes them out.
My main complaint would be that the cables are hard wired to the satellite speakers, one side is like a normal jack, whilst the other is its own style plug due to having to carry volume control.
If I needed another pair of speakers, I think these would still be top of my list.
