  • Buy the Premier

    Was hoping for the best with these speakers. They can’t compete with the Sony SS CS5 bookshelf speakers. Bass is weak, soundstage is mediocre at best. These might be ok in a home theater system with multiple channels but are definitely not in a 2.1 audio system. There is a higher priced version of this called the Premier that offers more frequency response on both ends that Best Buy Sells but it is quite a bit more. Will be returning them.

    Impressed, but sounds best with digital power source. Not that great with older analog receivers. I recommend adding the subwoofer regardless

    I bought these speakers to be used as surround in a home theater setup. Sound was great and lifelike. Cabinet is made of MDF with a faux wood grain print. Feels like plastic but overall very sturdy. These are true bookshelf speakers with no form of mounting on the back or bottom. Klipsch makes a great speaker and I would recommend these in the right situation.
