    That being said it wasnt difficult for me to fork out the necessary cost to obtain these speakers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Ive read other reviews here that appear to indicate that these should cost less and therefore are graded down

    An anology most will be fine with the latest stock intel core i5 processor to them the i9 is ridiculous and would perhaps be graded down on cost afterall the browsing experience wouldnt be better hd movies wouldnt be 34more hd34 etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Esl speakers dont utilize the magnet driving a cone design that many are used to rather a thin film caught between two poles of differing potential create the vibrations we hear as sound


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
