Anywho I think I've wandered from the point. All Altec Lansings and Harmon Kardon and Monsoon are crap, and most Logitechs even but these sets actually sound like something. Not so much apart but together and with the EQ. The 530's are like tweeters with crappy high mid and the 5300's have really clear high mid with not well defined really high end. So they go great together and they're extremely loud and sound lovely. Yeah the wood frame and the player are a bit ghetto lol. You really gotta be here to hear it though. I've heard all kinds of meant for car speakers and they're all just crap. Even the highest end gear I could hear in person (although it's Circuit City we're talking about) just didn't even come close. They're in general pretty badly balances and the 4 way ones are just kinda a joke. If you played a sine wave on most car speakers and graphed the dB it would look like ocean waves during a hurricane. The logitechs are pretty flat themselves but together they're practically a straight line and with the EQ it is a straight line. I'll try to get a high quality recording of the audio my system produces and post it.
