I would not say at all that it is a mini Hi-fi! Non-existent bass (low frequencies) despite the fact that the frequency range is advertised as 20Hz-20KHz. They play worse than a (old) set of plastic Altec Lansing 220 speakers, which, despite being plastic, have clearly better bass and performance. The only positive thing about them is their very aesthetically pleasing appearance! The speakers are a delight to the eyes! Their sound leans more towards the "shrill-telephone" and is a bit "dull" and "muted". Even with the equalizer of the sound card with the bass boosted, they simply do not come out at all. They are good for listening to voices and conversations, but not for music. Overall, the music does not sound sweet and pleasant! Since I have installed a better set of speakers on my PC (GENESIS NCS-1305 HELIUM 200), I have connected the Tracer Orlando to a 40'' Samsung TV. Their sound is not better than the TV speakers. It is somewhat muted, dull, and bass-heavy (i.e., lacking clear treble). The sound does not have the necessary clarity, especially in movies. However, they play loudly. The volume is satisfactory for a 16 square meter room.
