In conclusion, while the MidiLand MLi-490 has a few noteworthy problems, it is still an excellent product, at a bargain price. If you see the installation as no problem (Read: You're experienced with speaker setups), then you will absolutely love the speaker set. And once I got past the installation, I loved the speaker set as well. It performs extremely well for the price.

If you're limiting yourself to a two speaker set, or two speaker set with a subwoofer, and don't feel like spending lots of money on a new one, then I highly suggest you give this a shot. The power, quality, and value behind this set blows away the competition in it's own market. MidiLand has really placed themselves on the quality and value list for great speaker sets lately--and this is just another example of why they're there. In closing, if you're looking for more power then even other competiting sub $100 dollar category speaker sets, then the MidiLand MLi-490 is the choice.
