In a size and price range where we normally see two-way designs, the three-way LS100s are rare birds. An extra midrange driver doesn't always make for better sound, but, in this case, the third driver adds a degree of warmth and smoothness that we've never encountered in a speaker at this price. As a bonus, AudioSource has mirror-imaged the drivers, which allows a pair of LS100s to create the kind of pinpoint imaging we associate with far costlier models.
You'll hear these qualities as soon as you put on a favorite CD--especially if you're a fan of vocal music. (This is why the midrange is so important.) The LS100s are smooth and open and their sound is free of box coloration--that "hooded," overly resonant sound that some speakers have. The suaveness of these speakers extends to the highs and the bass, too. Although small woofers will never produce teeth-rattling bass, the ones in the LS100s have enough of a minipunch to let you boogie if the impulse strikes.
Our only complaint is a minor one and not a surprise in this price range: we would have preferred binding posts over the clip terminals that are on the back of the LS100s. But if you don't already use extra-heavy-duty speaker cable with your speakers, this may not be an issue.
We congratulate AudioSource for producing a great little speaker for a price that simply can't be beat. --Wayne Garcia

Audio Source LS200 - A Very Good Value,
By Wes Forster (Chillicothe, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: AudioSource LS200 Four-inch Full Range Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)
The Audio Source LS200 speakers' sound great. I have owned several sets of 2 / 3 way bookshelf models by various high-end / esoteric manufacturers, and these are the best sounding compact 3 ways I've ever heard. They're not real efficient (85db), so I thought it fair to knock off one point for that. Very ascetically pleasing, however the included mounting brackets are flimsy. The five-year transferable warranty was a nice surprise. I would recommend these speakers to anyone for surround / small area fill. I'm pleased with my purchase.

Decent outside speaker,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: AudioSource LS200 Four-inch Full Range Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)
For the price they can't be beat! I shopped at BestBuy and CicuitCity and found that I'd have to spend 2 to 3 times as much for comparable sounding outdoor speakers. These speakers were easy to mount with the included free mounting brackets.The speakers are efficient(I've mounted 2 pairs on my large screened porch and my amplifier is a relatively low powered unit).Sound is decent but not like you'd expect from more expensive bookshelf speakers in your den or living room. Expect the base to be weakest aspect of these speakers. The speakers can be powered to pretty high sound levels before noticable distortion. Considering the price I've not seen anything else that can touch these speakers at this price point.

Great little speakers!,

This review is from: AudioSource LS100 Four-inch Full Range Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)
I was truly surprised at the quality of sound that these little indoor/outdoor speakers deliver.... There is nothing cheap about these except for the price. They have good bass for their size, and the midrange and highs were very open and crystal clear. I have had much more expensive speakers that dont sound this good. If you have the need for a speaker like this, do yourself a favor and try a set of these out:)
