They do hum loader than I prefer and the sound is a bit tinny. Coming from a Altec like type system I was not impressed with the mix of highs and low sounds of treble and bass. Seems a good value for the money but may just use them for the flat screen for when we want louder sound for some movies of sporting events. 

Question: How is the sound?
