Best praise vs top criticism for Bose Solo 5

Best Praise
+3 pts
“For that price range I'd go for some sort of powered stereo speaker. Unless you don't have space for it. I've used Bose Solo 5 for my PC a few years ago and it was fine. (It'd be quite over your budget but maybe you'll get lucky on the used market?)”
