If you have a small apt, and a budget, these will do
| I live in a small 600 sq. foot apt. in NYC (Manhattan), and the walls are thin, while the floor is wood, so sound travels well to disturb neighbors. I was on a tight budget at the time (was saving for an engagement ring) but still had a sweet receiver that needed some decent speakers. The KLH caught my attention as it has been getting some good reviews and after playing with them in the store I was sold. The sound is great for DTS and Dolby 5.1 Digital, esp. where it's used well (Day After Tomorrow, Saving Private Ryan, and Band of Brothers). The subwoofer isn't the loudest (actually is pretty weak) but it was still loud enough to disturb the neighbors below, so I just leave it off now. The residual mid bass that comes through the speakers is good though. So if you're in a confined area like me and on a budget, these speakers might be good for you. If I ever move to an apt with thicker walls and floors though (or somewhere that I can be a little more "louder", I'm definitely going to upgrade the speakers. |

Great Value
| Build quality is very good considering the price. Subwoofer is adequate for small to medium size rooms. Satellites are plastic but have high quality woofers and tweeters. Included is a full set of brackets for wall mounting and some rather skinny wire sets which should be tossed and replaced with at least 16 gauge. Center channel is just a regular satellite but shielded. My subwoofer was mysteriously missing certain things on the back such as the polarity switch and auto on-off. Get one while you still can, its dirt cheap and so much better than a Bose Acoustimass system. |

Nice little system
| While the fidelity is not there for a Polk Audio man such as myself, its just fine for my son's (11 years old) movies and video games. Surprisingly good bass from a small sub, decent mids and highs from the satellites. Comes will all the mounting hardware. Comes well packed, even though the box was damaged in shipping all the items inside were fine. Recommended. |
