Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)

- Minimum Frequency Response: 58 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

Unmatched Sound
I was skeptical at first buying these speakers because I thought they would not provide me the sound quality I was expecting. I previously owned a pair of Bose bookshelf speakers which were great but my Klipse speakers are the truth! Exceptional sound delivered on all genres of music.

1st love because they were cheap, now just love!
#1 Love these for their efficiency. Don't have a monster receiver or amp, not a problem. #2 The cabinet is not wood, but looks like black painted wood, decent and bonus is the cork on the bottom of the speaker so the finish isn't damaged by sliding. #3 Really like the magnetic speaker grill, sturdy holding, but release easily so as not to be damaged by a screwdriver or whatever to remove a stubborn grill. Buy again, in fact will likely but another set for my office.

Must buy product!
I got these to replace my old Boston T830 floor standing speakers in my bedroom. The Klipsch bookshelf speakers sounded much clearer with greater detail, and have decent bass for such a small speaker. I mate these with a Klipsch R-30 center and a 12" MK sub, hooked up to a Denon AVR-S570BT receiver. The Denon is 70W per channel with loudness up to 99. I have only had this system up to 55 and that is very loud with excellent sound reproduction.
