Warzone heeft een review van de Midiland S2-4030 speakers. Ze zien er erg vet uit (vooral de subwoofer). Hier wat spul over hoe ze klinken:
While the mids and highs sounded great, the bass wasn’t as deep as I would have liked. Of course, having the sub at only 15W of power doesn’t really help, but it does a pretty good job nevertheless. Having been used to the Microsoft DSS80’s large thump in games and music; I was a little disappointed by the bass from the 4030. Why would I compare the Midiland speakers to the Microsoft DSS80’s when Microsoft’s subwoofer produces 29 more watts? The answer is price. The Midiland speakers go for about $170 while the DSS80’s sell for $180 (prices taken from Pricewatch). While browsing at a local Waldensoftware, I did see the DSS80’s go for $200 with a $50 rebate. In any event, the richness and depth of the bass just wasn’t what I expected. Then again, it could be that I listened to the DSS80’s for so long that I’m a bit spoiled. For those looking for more bass power, you might want to look into the 4100’s which run about $300 with the sub producing 50 watts of power. It’s a mighty big step up, but from all the reports, the 4100’s are the best speaker system to get for a PC.
