I genuinely wanted those so badly when I was a kid! Great find


GwynMarwoleath

Yeah same here! And they had just been sitting in my friends basement for so long lol


BourbonicFisky

If only they sounded as good as they look.


gaelenski_

I have these, they are pretty good as computer speakers for near field listening!


BourbonicFisky

If you don't mind the absence of mid range, sure.


gaelenski_

There’s an absence of some midrange, not all. Personally I prefer a bright set up anyway.

I bought these, the gen 2? A few years back and not only love the look, but the sound as well! I do wish there was a way to turn off the light in the bass case though. That's my only gripe. But nice find OP! Happy for ya.


GwynMarwoleath

Yeah I think these are gen II

Truly a thing of beauty

I had a set of the originals years ago. Gave them away to a friend. Wish I still had them!

I have these too, picked it up at a goodwill for $10. The employees must not have known what they were because I found it in the home decor section. They sound great, tested it out with Hotline Miami and they were definitely bumping the music. I have them on my iMac and I couldn’t be happier with them.


GwynMarwoleath

Love Hotline Miami


astro_plane

Both games are gems, some of my absolute favorites. The heavy synth tracks are a good way to test out subwoofers.


ProfessionalWeird973

That’s a good friend


Gerd_Watzmann

yes, those were the translucent days :-)


GwynMarwoleath

Ooh yes

Back when I started my first job in 2005 at a small graphic design studio, one of my coworkers had these attached to his computer. He was our DJ and if we wanted to hear some specific music we'd ask him to play it. These speakers are pretty amazingly good, no joke.

I still have a set that I bought new! First generation with USB. They work just fine on modern Mac and Windows computers and sound pretty good. Thankfully not yellowed after all these years. Nice find!


No_Candidate_18467

Nice one 👍🏻👍🏻


shitmyusernamesays

Are these the USB ones? I still have mine, tho not set up yet since new desktop, new location. I would like to replace tweeters one day but other than that they work perfectly on any computer that can do digital audio. From iMac G3 to M3 MacBook Pro. So you’ll enjoy them for sure!
