I bought some large sized ones, but when I went back and tried to order the small ones it wouldn't let me! A popup window said I was over my limit. I'm pretty irked since I need both sizes.

I received a pair of these that I ordered a week or two ago and while they're worth the money, they're not great speakers.

Even after breaking these in, the speakers are bright and on the harsh side. I was a little surprised, but the bass response isn't great, even with two woofers. The high frequencies dominate and the response, though I have not measured it does not sound flat... some frequencies are louder than others. At a guess, I'd say that the cross over is part of the problem.

ON the plus side, these look very good and have the feel and finish of a much more expensive set.

These would be good if you're setting up a second stereo system and want something cheap. They definitely sound better than any other pair of $150 speakers you could pick up.

I would not recommend these for a home theater system. One very big problem is finding a center channel. I hooked up two different speakers I had that I thought were similar in quality and design but neither worked very well. When sounds pan across the front it wasn't smooth and you could tell when a noise went from one speaker to another.

I bought these to possibly replace my 10 year old Polk speakers, a brand that I would classify as 'low end audiophile grade'. The Unisounds were no comparison to these (I did A/B tests but when I first heard the Unisounds I could tell the difference). They are not bad by any means, but they're not great either. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. I ended up putting the Unisounds in my home gym and they work well there. If I had paid twice as much I would have been disappointed, but for $150 there a good deal as long as you're not expecting too much.

Wow! You're a racist too. You continue to amaze me "Angel". (Satan's Angel I assume.)

Well this MB and it's description made me realize I'm done with this site. "some great items"? Well that's nice...maybe you should have included one in the $30 box (3 X $9.99) I bought recently.

Of course they still left out that the items may not work, may be for obsolete equipment no one has, or that it may be worth significantly less than the money you're paying.

The kicker is that it's $60! They should have given us a $10 MB that we could have used or combined coupon on (which still isn't working, as I understand). It's clear to me that this site isn't interested in growing a set of loyal customers (like I was) but just seeing who much cash they can squeeze out of each of us suckers.

By TF.

Yeah, they thought that people wanted dozens of lights for their cell phones!

It amazes me that people defend this box. I'm sure if they sent three BBs, a used up roll of tape and a dead mouse there would still be people defending Thing Fling!

There are still people who haven't gotten their boxes yet. (I wish I was one of them! I'd refuse that sucker in a heart-beat and let TF pay for return shipping and refund my $) Thanks to Brian and Death Faluta for letting the people who just got to this thread know that most of the people are pissed with TF for this fiasco.

If you're happy with the box, fine. More power to ya! Glad you're satisfied.

The others should continue to post their disappointment so that TF knows that this problem hasn't just gone away.

Has anyone found it odd that King hasn't posted an update in a long while? I think they are putting their head in the sand and hoping everyone will just get over it and continue to shop at their site.

This is a good surge protector, but not better than a $15 one that you can get at Target or Walmart. Monster has the philosophy that if you price something very high, people will think it's better than a cheaper brand. That's not true of course. I'd pass on this one.

I'd be willing to bet that you went into social services to help people too. That's too bad that you've turned into someone who would take away someone's food when they acted belligerently to you. No, he shouldn't have knocked things off your desk. Mighty big of you to cut off the guy's food stamps though. Did it make you feel powerful to push around a guy on the lowest rung of society's ladder for a minor offense? Way to do your job.

Go ahead and post that you cut off his food stamps for other reasons, that he was making a lot of money, had just won the lottery, and had a billion dollars stuffed under his mattress. What you originally said was that you decided to take someone's food because they knocked some stuff off your desk. Yeah, and you call yourself Angel? That's just evil in my book.

I won't reply on this topic any more. I choose not to converse with someone who delights in causing another human pain and misery.

I've been a cashier, yeah the guy is at fault. [/quote]

Amazing logic there....I wonder why I didn't see it sooner!



Yes, but then you are capable of thinking. You would want to solve the problem. The cashier in this story was either brain dead or wanted to goad the poor guy on.



They didn't give anyone that I know of $10 back. They, as you stated, gave a coupon. BIG DIFFERENCE. If they had refunded $10 I would have been happy and would have shopped here again.

Wow again...what an interesting view on life you have. It's totally different from mine and that fascinates me. According to your story the cashier didn't know how to do her job. She either entered his payment incorrectly or did not know how to refund tax from food stamp purchases.

He gets upset.

He's the bad guy because he doesn't want to have to make a second (and possibly many more) trips to the store. He should have demanded his money. The cashier should have apologized for the mistake and called her manager or corporate offices. Or, she could have given the guy the dime, printed a duplicate receipt, and pointed the error out to her manager. Either case would have solved the problem and not had it escalate and she would have saved her company a lot of time, bad publicity, and money.

So what does this have to do with this thread? A lot actually. Like the not-overly-bright cashier Thing Fling isn't thinking this through. Instead of trying to solve the problem that they are responsible for, they're throwing us a bone and then pretending that everything is okay. It is costing them a lot of customers, money, time, and good will.

Yeah, not everyone will always be happy with MBs. But very few people are happy with these. The thing that they need to realize is that there is a large silent majority who have just written the site off. I've seen two threads on other boards where this mystery box fiasco has been discussed and in all cases people who got them warned other away and said that they've stopped shopping at TF. These are the people, unlike you and I Angel, who don't care about the site one way or another. They got screwed so they're swallowing it and moving on.

Here's some quotes from other sites about this box:

Maybe I'm missing something in this story. Could somebody straighten me out??

As I understand it:

1) 7-11 steals 10 cents from a guy.

2) He asks the cashier for it back and she won't give it to him.

3) He sues and gets his money back.

4) HE'S THE BAD GUY?

Wow. Makes you wonder where our country went wrong so that a corporation that steals from someone on food stamps is the good guy, and the guy who wants his money back is a villain. Is that what we're teaching our kids: "It's okay to take more than you deserve as long as it's not a lot."
