Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Razer along with THX has made a quality product here. I would describe myself as a technophile. I had old logitech speakers before these, and I am proud to say that I am very happy with the razer mako. I hooked these up to my computer, which was very easy, and played games, music and watched movies on it. In all aspects it shined. Let me say that I'm very picky about all products which I buy, and many times return numerous items before finding the right one that I like. The same was true for speakers. I bought and returned numerous items from Edirol MA-15d monitors, to audioengine a2, to creative 5.1 systems, to soundsticks II, etc. I found the razer to be the best of the bunch and here are the reasons why.
First and foremost, these speakers are very easy to setup and are beautiful. Small/compact yet powerful with a total of 300watt output and very good frequency response. The bass was strong but not overbearing (you can definitely feel the bass)and the mids sounded rich and vibrant. The highs are very clear and crisp, but perhaps alittle on the softer side. You can use an EQ to make it sound just right. I'm using these in a typical office sized room which suite these speakers perfectly. If you are thinking about putting these in a larger room, I would say look elsewhere. The downshooting speakers make the sounds rich and filling for both the subwoofer and satellites. I recommend hooking these up to a good sound card or an AV system for best performance. The mako does need a flat hard surface for both the sub and sats because of their down firing design..and carpet below the sub is not really good because it gets muffled. Couple of downsides to the speakers...first I wish they had a digital input because many newer soundcards and A/V's have digital outputs. Second, like many reviewers pointed out, the control pad is not the best. It does take some time to get used to (you can't press it hard, and need a gentle touch). Third and final point is the price. At nearly $400, some might say that these are too expensive for a 2.1 system. But in all honesty, most people can't properly fit or setup a 5.1/7.1 system in their computer room. Even then, those computer surround sound systems sound pretty bad, so in my experience I would rather get a quality 2.1 system for the computer. If you want a good 5.1/7.1 setup, then you are going to have to get a real A/V setup going. These are the best 2.1 setup you can get for the money right now...off course if you spend alittle more you can get the audioengine a5 and add a nice little subwoofer to that as well, but then your spending more money. The Harmon Kardon Soundsticks II are considered by many to be good 2.1, but I found them to be cheap sounding. They don't produce rich sounds and lack the punch/omph across the spectrum. The Mako, while more expensive, is a much better speaker. These are better than the bose companion 3/5's as well for the mako produces much clearer mids and highs. These are truly one of the best sounding 2.1 computer speaker systems available today.
