Ragnar,

Didn't say anything was wrong.

In fact that's why I bought this cheap piece of s&^$ because it didn't have a stupid external transformer box like other similar ones I had seen for sale.

These speakers are good enough for a work computer that only uses them to amplify the email-signal tone loud enough so I can hear it across the store-room I work in (and occasional Real-Audio & Windows Media streaming and MP3-disk playback all of which are crappy sounding to begin with) [Linked Image].

Only cost US$10.00 plus taxes.

The transformer is inside one of the little speaker cabinets and is connected to a 5 foot piece of #18 zip cord. I recently had to replace the cord-cap because the original molded-on plug became intermittent.

As for PAL vs. NTSC:

I call it Perfection At Last.

I'd love to see a PAL TV in action...picking up an over-the-air TV station to see how good the quality is.

I've heard it's very good...and the old French 812 SECAM B&W system was even better. Too bad they had to drop down to 625 when color was adopted (bandwith issues).
