The design of Swans S3W’s amplifier is really cool: its top part is in fact a volume knob. It also turn the amplifier on or off by rotating it to the extreme left until you hear a click, just like old TV sets, for example.

The base of the amplifier glows blue when it is turned on, see Figure 8.

The sound quality of the speakers is really impressive however don’t expect a good low-frequency (i.e., bass) response. If you are a gamer that loves vibrating explosion sounds this speaker set isn’t for you. But if you are looking for a high-quality speaker set for playing music or voice (Skype, for example), this set can fulfill your needs.
