Pros: Wonderful sound, loud without distortion, strong tight bass, quality construction, re-designed controls.
Cons: No treble control.
The Bottom Line: The PM-9 speakers have clean sound, tight bass and very high volume capability. I believe they are as good as the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 at just half the cost. RECOMMENDED!!!

| mailmanx's Full Review: Planar PM-9 |
I've had these speakers for a month and used them daily. I loved them from the start and the feeling hasn't changed.
I bought these speakers to use in watching DVD's on my computer. I intentionally chose not to buy a surround speaker set because I'm in an RV with limited space.
For those of you looking for digital input, this speaker set has it, although I don't use it so cannot comment on it.
These speakers are well built and have a very unique look. But their real strength is THE SOUND!!! I haven't found any weaknesses. The bass is never muddy. It can be cranked without distortion. The mids are strong and the highs are pure. The overall balance of sound is, in my opinion, just about perfect. I just finished watching my T2 DVD with the volume loud and the bass boosted. No distortion - no regrets.
At first I didn't think I'd like having the controls on a separate wired remote (my last speakers had controls on the right speaker). But now that I've used a remote for a month, I actually prefer it. And this particular remote is EXCELLENT. It contains volume, bass and mute. I wish it had treble, but that seems to be left off a lot of computer speakers these days. The volume control is large and easy to control. The feel as it moves is perfectly fluid. The bass control has a distinct center detent and plenty adjustability. It can add some serious kick to the bass! The mute button can be used as an on/off button (the actual on/off is on the back of the subwoofer). The remote also has a headphone jack which too many computer speakers are missing these days.
I spent over two weeks auditioning computer speakers. The only others I liked as well were the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1. In my opinion, the Planar Media 9 speakers sounded every bit as good as the Klipsch, but for only half the price. EASY DECISION! My advice - BUY THESE SPEAKERS!
