loud playing speakers. good looks.

muddy sounding. cabinet cheaply made.

As far as these speakers are concerned. I will never buy anything with a KLH label on it. Today I am taking my 3rd pair back to Best Buy. The structure of the cabinets are built very cheaply. Now I understand why they are so cheaply priced. Maybe it is because they cut back on the wood glue whe they are assembling them.

Awesome sound for the price! Great bass and tons of power.

Box made of plywood.

Truly great sound for the price. I'm so glad I bought these. I'm unclear on the power of each speaker, but they are loud. I have them connected to my 400W receiver, so the power each can handle is a concern to me. I plan to be using these to throw all-dorm parties, and seem good for the job. Highly recommended. Only problem was with the shipping, 'cause when I got them, one of the covers was broken. But KLH is being kind enough to replace that at no cost.

Can easily rip the KLH logo off so you don't get embarassed

horrible sound, I'm pissed for paying $120 a pair for them

I guess the only good thing about these speakers is that if you want to piss the neighbors off you can crank them real loud. When I bought these I just wanted some speakers for my room, but after a couple of months I counldn't take them any more. I moved them down to the basement I for only $80 more I bought Myself a pair of Paradigm Titans that really sound wonderful. Anybody even considering buying these things should really look around and you'll find that most bookshelf speakers in that pricerange sound alot better.

they were very cheap, a quick fix

the boxes are very week, they rattle realy bad when barly turned up, and the drivers are paper. No way it can handle 250 watts, and the tweeter hisses realy bad. save your money and buy something else

i saw theses and thought they were a good deal at 70$ each, boy was i wrong, i should have saved my 140$ and bought some cv in a few weeks, dont buy these they are not worth the money or the trip to best buy, the only thing i liked about them its the tweeter and mid, is liqued cooled.

AWSOME BASS! Good highs, nice and efficient

Take awhile to break in. Unsturdy cabnet.

For a hundred bucks you can not go wrong. These speakers really take the "k" the "l" and the "h" out of KLH. you could slap a Klipsch sticker on then and you might get caught but maybe a jbl or Cv and your good to go and you don't get ripped off.

Price, sound quality for the price

None for the price

These are great speakers for the price. They are party speakers. Play them as loud as you want and you don't have to worry if you blow them out. That being said, they are nowhere close to being audiophile quality. You do get what you pay for. I coupled these speakers with my ARs and they now sound fantastic. By themselves they were lower than I liked. They have bass, but not near as much the Valdus speakers do. For college students and those wanting to get an entry level speaker these are great. My recommendation is if you are a serious music listener, look elsewhere for speakers. These are not what you would want. If you desire good, cheap party speakers, look no further.

Crisp, clean highs and powerful bass. Attractive, slimmer design than most floor speakers.

None.

After hearing these speakers at Best Buy and seeing them priced at under $100 a pair I snatched them right up--even though I had just bought a pair of Optimus floor speakers on clearance for $120/pair a couple of weeks earlier (back to Radio Shack they went). I'm using them as the fronts with my Kenwood HTB-502 home theater system. The excellent highs and good mid-range complemented by the 100 watt Kenwood subwoofer rock the house. These KLHs are the best speaker bang for the buck you can get.

The woofer, midrange, and tweeter work separately and effectively. Clear highs and smooth mids; strong, wide-reaching bass.

This is a great set of speakers. For the money, I guarantee that you won't find a better pair.

I'm sure this isn't nearly the best speakers you can buy, but then, these guys were never made for the audiophile market.

In the audio enthusiasts' and casual listeners' markets, which KLH targets, they're awesome. Some guys here say the bass might be a little weak, but trust me, they're not. Remember, you're not trying to buy Rockford Fosgate. These are ~$100/pair speakers. Do you still want to complain?

Their KLH's. That's weakness.

If you like listening to music, these speakers suck. If you like listening to muddy explosions, or boomy dialouge, or distorted music. Than these are the speakers for you. If you like crappy stuff, than these crappy speakers will be nice. If you like nice stuff, than these speakers make decent firewood when listening to better equipment. They are cheap, but they sound cheap too. Save your hard earned money for something that doesn't suck so much.

Dont Know Yet

Dont Know Yet

Ive been looking around for some floorstanding speakers that could fit my small price range (100-130 max.). I stumbled across these at bestbuy.com and I need to know if they would be sutible for what i want them for. I am 15 and recently got a new Sony Receiver, .Right now, i am more into listening to music then anything, but going to get into home theather soon as i get more money. I love listening to Metallica and listening to it LOUD. Volume peged all the way. You think these speakers would work? I dont care if there is LITTLE distortion, i just need some speakers that can handle a beating. I am using Sony Bookshelf speakers right now, and they cant give any base if the peices of §hit had too. Anyways.... please tell me if they would work.
