Seems that the buzzing noise in my new speakers actually came from the IPW2200 wireless card in my laptop. Once I disabled and reenabled the wireless card the buzzing stopped. The speakers themselves seem pretty good now, so I won't be returning them. However, I did want to say something about the sales effort at FutureShop:
When you want to sell speakers, don't use sample music that goes "boom boom boom waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa boom boom ssssssshhhhhh".
What are they thinking? There were times I had to go to the $500 speakers to check that, yes, that part of the song really is meant to sound like white noise overlayed with static. Brilliant. I suggest that, in future, they use music that people will recognise. That way you can tell if the speakers are doing a decent job or not.

Hey! For all you know, you're the only one who doesn't recognize the music!! Yea.. futureshop had a coldplay craze at one point.. too bad you missed testing speakers on that then :) All I know is futureshop follows the trends in music at times... Though I remember their music selection on Boxing Day sucked.. about 1 hr in line that day.. :) but cheap cheap stuff!! ($10 wireless router and usb wireless hub combo)
Doesn't change the fact that white noise and static is not a good way to show off speakers. :P Need some music where the human ear can verify the quality of the sound.
