Strength:

nothing.. well they are cheap so I guess you could be called a strength.

Weakness:

to much to list by here goes: weak speakers that can't handle any power, cheap built box made with pressed wood (not real MDF) with no bracing. will come a part if you get it wet or play bass heavy music Thu it.Grill is worthless

Got a pair of these Cheap just to help out a friend a few months ago.Should have just gave him the money. These are some of the cheapest, low quality speakers I've ever heard.the enclosure is way to light and flimsy. The speaker can't handle any real power and the sounds coming out of them just before they blew was terrible.If your looking for some tower speakers do not buy a pair of these or you'll be sorry.

Strength:

Bass and sleek design look.

Weakness:

Cryptonite is about all.

These speakers kick butt! It's the best value for your money. Low lows, great mids, and high highs. Truly the dream speaker you've been waiting for. 1 Year warranty fo rnew ones. I 've got them hooked up to my Pioneer 770 watt, with 300 watt amps each. They sound great and they don't seem to be able to blow at any point. Great for everyone.

Customer Service

You don't need it. They last forever.

Strength:

-Strong bass. Earthquaking. -Designed nicely, very low key in black. -Built very well. -Long warranty

Weakness:

They may focus more strongly on bass at times, but this can easily be cured making use of an equalizer. As far as treble quality goes, it's not Klipsch, but they did not come at a Klipsch price either.

Simply, I was searching for a set of speakers to go with my Pioneer power amp. I did not have much money to spend, so obviously I turned to eBay. I had never experienced KLH products before, so I was completely in the dark. I am no longer in the dark... These speakers belt. A lot of people use them for HT applications, but I just use them for my 2 channel system. The bass is phenomenal, even out of a 12" woofer. Personally, I wouldn't dream of using a sob with them, it would be overkill. They have crisp highs, and mellow mids. I was entirely shocked with what I got for the money. And I don't exactly listen to Dolly Parton or Lawrence Welk either, I've got a Winamp list full of Nine Inch Nails, KoRn, and every other speaker killing band you can imagine. But yet, they take it all in stride, no matter how badly I may be bleeding from the ears. I recommend them to anyone, as I tried the easy listening route with Simon and Garfunkel, and the whisped that along nicely as well. Very cost effective. Good quality. I suppose they are more geared toward harder music, but they will assimilate to the easy listening crowd as well. Overall, good all-around units that are sure to please for the price paid.

Strength:

-deep, full bodied bass that fits in 5.1 or 6.1 systems without a powered subwoofer -Great mids, smooth and warm -clear and coherent high notes, you can sit in most places in a room and get the full benefit of these speakers -Don't EQ these, as I find they don't need it

Weakness:

-For the price? None, really, although I should have been aware of these a few years ago. -You might have to look for a center/surround speaker that is timbre matched to this pair.

I've been considering my options recently when I found that my Grado headphones that I paid 70$ for outperformed and outstripped my whole Bose system, hands down. I used KLH's earlier generation 9912's for about a week before I found out about the deal I got the Bose for back in 2000, and I was impressed with them then, but I used to use EQ's quite liberally. So I checked out the new-gen 9250B, and found the cainet to be of higher quality at the expense of foam surrounds on the 12" drivers. Nowadays foam lasts alot longer, and I said what the heck when I wanted to A/B these, since I could get a full refund if I didn't like them. I ran them through a Sherwood RD-7103 Dolby Digital/DTS reciever and a Playstation 2 with an AR optical toslink connection, playing various DVD's Well, guess what? They beat the Bose system in a stereo A/B test in all categories, bass, mid, treble without any EQ or boost of any kind! For 100$!! Not only that, but they have a sound that is closer to that of my headphones, which was another goal of my reverse "upgraditis". I'm spending less and getting more, which I enjoy. If anyone overlooks these speakers because of low price, they'll regret it. Low price doesn't mean low bang for the buck, not by a long shot, Grado being the proof of that. Audition these speakers, if you aren't hung up on snob factor, these speakers might be all you need for music, movies, games, you name it. For a surround sound setup, you might have to shop around or check out KLH's offerings for a good center/surround package that is timbre matched. I'm thoroughly impressed with these speakers although I still have to finish their burn-in period. Check them out!

Strength:

Bang for the buck is hard to beat. Crisp highs, live mids, and mellow bass at normal listening levels.

Weakness:

Very dependent on other components. On a low-end receiver, they sound good. On better equipment, they sound great.

The KLH 9250B is an excellent speaker for the price. MSRP is US$ 230/pair, but can be easily found at under $150/pair or even lower. Bottom line: You can't beat the value that this model gives. Connected to my Sherwood RX4103 receiver , and Technics SL-PD9 CD player, they were very capable of playing a range of music from Ravel to Springsteen, to chest-pounding club music. Connected to my older (but better) system, an NAD 3020, Denon DCD player, and ADC 110 IC equalizer, the speakers were amazing! They really made me wonder if I should switch out my old Boston Acoustics A70 in favor of these speaks. the 3020 and the equalizer took away the slight boom and added a crisp and warm quality to the sound. Recommended for students, casual listeners and anyone under a tight budget to get good sound. I also recommend using an equalizer with these (and any other) speaker, to customize the sound balance to your room and your ears.
