Query: Unimpressive sound and volume

Bought these based on the Amazon reviews to replace an 8-year old pair of fantastic low-end Harmon Kardon speakers that kicked the bucket. Very disappointed in these speakers. Sound has a tinny echo and sounds muffled, and changing 'tone' doesn't fix it, nor does multiple output devices (laptops, iPod, etc). Also, even with computer output volume at max, we still have to turn up the speakers to at least 50% volume or higher. Lastly, these are quite large for computer speakers, not small or unobtrusive. I don't even care too much about the size, more how horrible they sound. I wouldn't recommend buying these at all.
