Unless a speaker incorporates it's own amplifier, it does not have power, 
it uses power.  Some of their speakers are rated to handle 300 watts of 
power.  Which is different from "having 300 watts of power".  Or put 
another way, I have ridden in cars with 450 horsepower.  I do not, 
myself, have 450 horsepower.

Their home page, while attractive, has no mention of a warranty - 
Cambridge Sound Works, among other mail and email order companies, offers 
a 30 day no questions asked money back guarantee.  But, the other guys  
mention their guarantee unlike Baltlines.  I also found it odd that 
Baltlines was ready to take your order and credit card number from 
their home page.... while warning you that the transaction was not 
secure.  These people might be great, but they seem too eager to take 
your money, too eager to advertise in inappropriate ways, and not eager 
enough to warranty your satisfaction for my taste.
