By now, you’ve

probably heard

every small-speaker

cliché there is. This is understandable.

Considering how much small speaker systems,

even inexpensive ones, have improved in recent years, it’s

difficult for reviewers (myself included) to avoid “big sound

in a small package,” “the best bang for your buck,” and any

number of other well-worn spins. This starts to be a problem when

people—reviewers, manufacturers, or anyone else—get carried away

and start likening a mediocre small speaker to a quality tower or claiming

that a small system has all of the sonic benefits of a much larger one.

PC Series 

speakers offer
