light, cheap and cheerful ~65W active
These are light and fairly thin. Seem effective in my setup.I paired with some of those AC driverless led cobs. Seems ok. With moderate active cooling (5” desk fan pointed at the fins) this unit keeps two 30W led cobs running at peak and the sinks are tepid to the touch. Without active cooling the heatsinks quickly become hot to the touch and the cobs start to sag power to about 20w apeice.

you'll never go back
8 of 8 found this helpful this 2.1 system is the rock. There are many like it, but this is one of the few really really excellent 2.1 systems. Especially if you get one used/like-new for about $70 on ebay. And there are many to be had for a bargain on ebay, which makes this a top choice in my book.
The sound from the little speakers is very clear, and balanced very well by the surprisingly clear and deep and powerful subwoofer. The overall sound is excellent and probably at least as good as, if not better than average home stereos. The set can play very loud and still sound clear and clean. There are limits due to the small size of the speakers, but it's surprising sound they produce. It can even be used as a home sound system on a budget for medium sized rooms, and is especially good for smaller rooms like a bedroom. For it's intended purpose, parked by your computer, it's simply the best PC speaker system I've ever heard. I like to keep the sub under the desk and you can really feel it! This speaker system makes a great match with an mp3 player or portable CD player, that sort of thing, for a small budget kick-butt sound system. The speakers cables are fairly long(over 10ft) so you have some options where you want to place the speakers.
The main drawback is that there is no remote, so you have to be able to reach the knob (located on one one of the speakers) to control the volume and sub level. Not a problem if it's there next to your monitor, or nightstand. Of course if you have it hooked to an Ipod or other portable player you can control the volume from the player itself. The other thing to keep in mind is that the on/off switch is on the subwoofer unit, and mine makes a popping sound when I turn it on/off. That's not good, so it's best to leave it turned on, which draws a little power just sitting there. My Klipsch 4.1 set has the on/off knob by the volume control, and that is more handy. Still, not a big deal.
The thing that may be the biggest drawback for many people is that there is only one sound input. Just one cable with a headphone jack that you can plug in to your computer, or mp3 player, etc. Some other more expensive speaker setups have multiple input options, so you could have it connected to your PC, Ipod, etc, at the same time and switch between them. Not with this unit. But you can get a thing that will switch inputs, from radio shack. So it's not a deal breaker.
This is one of the top 2.1 sets you can get, especially because you can get a nice used one for cheap on Ebay like I did. But after living with my Klipsch 4.1 for years (still rocking after 8 years!) I would pay full price for one of these, over the other products out there. The only thing better is the 4.1!

smooth operator
I got one in as-new condition, great value at $200 total in January 2023.
Twice as good as my rx580 4gb it replaces.
Nice build quality.
Fits my mATX case with a little room to spare. Easy to install.
Quiet even under heavy 3D stress test.
Low power consumption in 2D/desktop mode.
Drivers work great in windows 10, sleep mode works
AMD Adrenaline software works fine in background, never bothers me
2560x1440 ultra settings ~60fps (B450/3900x/16gb ddr4-3000)
Freesync plays nice with my LG 27GL83A monitor
