Very very good for the money

(4 out of 5) by Aaron Barnes on Nov 17, 2000 (USA)
First, let me say that these are FAR from the best speaker on the market. However, I bought these when I was 15, working a minimum wage job. Value was very important to me. I now have a much higher quality digital surround sound system, and I sold these to my dad to put with the TV in the basement. For $100 a pair, you CANNOT go wrong with these. The only thing bad about them is the lack of low-end. Don't get me wrong, with a little power they'll still pound, but the low extension is a little disappointing for a 12-inch woofer. For music these are EXCELLENT speakers. The clarity of the midrange rivals that of many high-end speakers, and the highs are very crisp, with a broad soundstage. The uppper and mid-bass is extremely tight and accurate. If you're on a budget, I would definately recommend these speakers.

Not bad!

These speakers are NOT for serious listeners. For the price they are a good second system choice. The bass is not tight or well defined. The treble is a bit weak. The mids are very pronounced. Would be well suited for background music or a teenager wanting 'Bigger Speakers' for their room.

underestimated speakers

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Feb 17, 2000
I held off buying these speakers because of some of the nasty reviews. Well the reviewer that said they were a piece of junk is wrong. I have an enormous loft studio and I needed a pair of speakers with enough quality and range to allow me entire days of listening to complex and beautiful music. I bought these and am grateful. Not only are they a physical presence, they are gentle giants. The bass is clear the highs sweet and they love classical music as much as I do. I can enjoy my music for hours on end without the headache even more expensive speakers give me , but then I don't need to wake the dead or impress audiophiles. If you want an great pair of speakers for the sane but low price of this pair. go for it I'm sorry I waited so long Happy 50 year old music lover

Extremely cool

(5 out of 5) by A 16 year old guy on Jan 5, 2000 (Virginia)
These speakers are extremely nice!They have good high range and excellent low frequency. The bass is extremely good, and can almost catch up to my subwoofer(which is very, very nice). I was looking for good speakers at a low price. This is the best deal anywhere.

Well worth the price

(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 1, 2000
If you are not looking to buy a speaker that blows you off your seat these are it. I currently have them hooked up to a little sony bookshelf stereo system and they exceeded my expectations they are deffinatly worth the money. I have always bought KLH speakers and I have very picky ears. The highs are perfect mids are good and the bass is a little loose nothing a sub wont fix these are not huge speakers but they get the job done I am very impressed....
