Listening Test Result
Being an audiophile myself, I am quite surprised at how the speaker sound at its price point. Sound stage is ok, mid focused sounding, can hear separation of instruments and non-boomy bass compared to some other brands of speakers out there at similar price point.

Conclusion
Pros:
Decent build quality
Aesthetic looks (comes with aluminium speaker grill, looks like Bose speakers )
Sound quality at its price point
Good quality 3.5mm to RCA cable included
Detachable power cord

Cons:
White Power LED a bit bright
Volume Knobs a bit filmsy (but can't complain much at the price it is sold)

if only they spend as much time in design as they did on the company name. the name sounds atas and cool.. the speakers looks ugly and boring as hell

 

[twist_shout]

[zephyr11]

would you prefer the Avermedia Ballista Trinity?

 

[wwenze]

Different target audience

Probably same designer

 

[KeYoKe]

thanks all for support. updated with dimensions just in case you all are wondering how small the footprint is

[moodless]

Lol, maybe for their budget range, bo budget for design? The rest of their range looks quite normal

 

[Audiology93]

looks really good for the price. feel like replacing my 2x creative d5x soundbar with sub as it automatically power off itself after 10mins without anything coming from audio source. Their bookshelf speakers also quite cheap

 

[KeYoKe]

is it as good as or better than swan m10?

good question, i wanna know too!

imo, doesnt sound better than m10 but better then sonicgear and creative speakers at the 60+ price range
