Strength:
size,performance, clearity
Weakness:
not quite enough bass, but livable for a speaker of this size. I really like these speakers and they have alot of punch for their size. I prefer the sound of them over some bigger speakers, and the price was right at $125pr from vanns.com on ebay! I drive them with the following components: Similar Products Used: AR TSW-110, Technics CR77, Bose 301 |

Strength:
CLEAR
Weakness:
a smig too bright Great sound for background listening. Handles TV audio w/o problems. However, I would not listen to my Mac System through these speakers for fear of overload. My primary system (MAC) uses Klipsch Forte's since '87-'88, and never experienced a problem or miss a beat. Similar Products Used: Klipsch Forte and JBL L-166's |

Strength:
Extremely efficient, very clean
Weakness:
Not too much bass, other than that none I bought these delightful speakers on Ebay from Vanns.com. Easily the best 132.50 (including shipping) I have spent for my entire system. To let you know, I have pretty decent stuff all around, H/K stereo receiver, Velo sub. But these speakers really impressed me. The highs are so ridiculously clear and the midrange is so beautifully blended, they sounded better to me than superones or any other much higher priced speakers. With the Velo sub they sound dynamite, get 'em while they last!!! Similar Products Used: NHT, Polk |

Strength:
Efficient
Weakness:
These speakers draw alot of attention to themselves. I've had these speakers for two months and I am not that impressed with them. The bass is noticeable, but not at all natural sounding. The true mid sound is missing almost completely and the highs are sort abrassive for me. They do the trick, but if you care about your ears, I would suggest something else. The extra cash you spend on an upgrade will be money well spent. |

Strength:
Great sound!! They fill the room with no problem, very good sound with impressive bass.
Weakness:
The KSB2.1 are not as “warm” sounding as my La Scala’s, but then again not too many speakers are. I’m currently using them as rear speakers with my La Scala’s as fronts; I couldn’t pass them by for the price. Similar Products Used: Klipsch La Scala |

Weakness:
None I got these 4-5 months ago and have loved what they can do. I hooked them up to an older Kenwood 100w stereo receiver and they have sounded nothing but good. I have since picked up a Klipsch center channel and quintets for surrounds because i was so impressed with Klipsch---especially for that price. Similar Products Used: JBL bookshelves |

Strength:
Good imaging. Crisp highs.
Weakness:
Modest base Excellent speaker and excellent value. Thought the B&W sounded a bit better overall, but they are not video shielded (a requirement for my situation). Highly recommended. Similar Products Used: B&W 302, Infinity RS3 |

I felt these speakers were to harsh when the music/movies got loud. Not enough midrange either. Traded them in on a pair of Mission 700's, and couldn't be happier. |
