(More customer reviews)I bought the Monsoon MM-1000 system when it first came out in late 1998 and have nothing but the highest praise for it. The bass is deep and rich, but more importantly the mid and high tones are produced with extremely fluent and precise imagery through the flat panel speakers. This is something a lot of traditional computer systems fall down in. If you want the most heart pounding bass possible for games like Quake but don't really care about musical quality then go for the Klipsch Promedia. But if you do care a lot about the way music sounds, the way instruments remain clear and how the acoustic environment says "unmuddy" then the Monsoons are definitely a top choice.
Besides the excellent sound, these speakers look awesome; they might not have all the fancy indicator lights like Altec systems, but the space age flat panel design is sure to get wows. The subwoofer is also very attractive, enough so they you might not even want to put it under your desk! You can't really see to well from the picture, but there are two LEDs by the front buttons that light up red and green. The controls on the subwoofer are extremely smooth and precise, although the remote "puck" tends to add some noise when you change the volume. I got mine replaced and it worked fine after that, so maybe it was just an early model problem.
Overall, if you want a high tech look and great sound I can't recommend a better 2.1 system.

The Monsoon MM-1000 provides a rich multimedia sound experience. The two flat dipole speakers consist of a transducer (tweeter), which provides clarity for high-range sounds, and a cone, which provides dynamic sound quality for midrange sounds. Planar Focus technology directs the sound at the listener, minimizing reflections from the desktop and monitor sides. The 25-watt monopole subwoofer, which comes with its own volume control, provides rich bottom-end sound to CD audio, DVDs, 3-D games, and MP3s. The system also includes the Monsoon puck, a small device that controls the volume for the entire system and even lets you mute it completely. This system works on both PC and Mac systems and comes with a one-year parts-and-labor warranty.
