Justin,
Get the covered ones, the transformers are not pretty and you can still see the tubes glowing through the slots in the cover. Plus you get the removable cord. You'll love the little guys. I have a system that I spent less than $1000 for and it is VERY pleasing. I replaced a 100 watt a channel Sony receiver and the little waves play plenty loud. Have fun.
