The sub was too large to share space under my desk with my knees and feet so it is setting on the floor on the left end of my desk where my printer used to reside. I finally caved recently and bought the LSR 310s subwoofer, which took care of the weak bottom end. The 8"ers would have been able to meet my needs, and I seriously considered them, but, because of where I had to mount them, weight and physical size were a serious problem. Sadly, it was a bit lacking at the very bottom. These are self amplified and I was hoping the bass response would be adequate. I initially replaced them with a pair of JBL LSR305p 5" MkII studio monitors. I got into I don't know how many online arguments with audiosnobs who argued the speakers were no good even though they had never even heard them. The final blow was from audiophiles excuse me, audio snobs who put the system down becasue it didn't follow their rules for what would sound good. Corsair messed up big time by marketing it as gaming speakers (2.1 for gaming? Seriously?), overpricing it because it was labeled Gaming (fortunately, it went on sale frequently), and had problems with the sub amps when it first came out (they did fix the problem with later units). Sadly, when my beloved SP2500 died last summer, the SP2500 had been discontinued. On of the umpteen profiles it had was called Dynamic Pop which had some Dynamic Range Compression which meant the speakers, when the volume was set to allow low volume passages be heard yet not have the speakers blow me out of the room during high volume passages. While the bass is not as impressive for many (although it was great for me and the music-mostly classical-I listen to), the Corsair SP2500 was the overall best speaker system I ever owned.
