    Big sound from a bookshelf speaker. I have these in my garage and the sound is smooth and can be very load and clear, The bass is really plentiful without a sub woofer. Def a super value at the price i bought them for at best buy.

    These cannot be beaten for the price, especially when you add in the trademark Klipsch fidelity and high-frequency clarity. Using these as my side surround speakers, but demo'd them as a 2ch setup and they won't disappoint in either capacity!
