Thanks for this review you sold me. I would like a 4.0 setup though if you have a specific speaker set in mind. I prefer copper cable speaker gauge too if you have a recommendation. I currently run 2.1 in 4.0 style setup so basically 2 aiwa speaks on left and 2 on right.

Ok review. Like a majority of people purchasing speakers (an assumption here), the sound quality is what matters most! A few constructive tips. Speaker wire; Copper is always ground, or negative due to the nature of current flow. Phono connectors?? Actually, they are called "RCA" connectors. Hard wire versus blue tooth; Blue tooth cannot handle/transmit "Lossless" audio where hard wire can. merely friendly advice from one "Geek" to another.. cheers
