" ... Be prepared to splice in stereo speaker wire to put the speakers where you want them. ... The wire that comes with the speakers is too short and there is no way to disconnect the short wires from the speakers. ... I had to splice more wire to the wires that came with the speakers. ... It is quite possible you can use the system with the short wires, I just wanted to place my speakers further apart. ... "
" ... My main complaint is with the cheap wire antenna which doesn’t work well and you cannot find a good 75 ohm replacement because the connection is not standard. ... "
