4.0 out of 5 stars Audio Source LS200 - A Very Good Value
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...

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
These speakers work ok, and handle lots of power, but the sound reproduction is not very good. They are supposed to be three-way speakers, but the higher notes like cymbals aren't there, and compared to my $50 Jensens in the basement, these speakers sound like a very cheap boombox.
I realize that these are very low-price speakers, but I bought them because the...

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent outside speaker, September 10, 2002
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little speakers!, June 8, 2001
By 
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:)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good value, November 26, 2002
By 
Weldon Mitchell (Mount Airy, MD United States) - See all my reviews
To be perfectly honest, I wasn't expecting much for spending so little. However, I am very pleased with the sound. My original intent was to provide "background music" on our new screened in porch, however, after hooking them up, I find myself cranking up the volume to enjoy the music as if in my den.
Deducted one star only because the mounting bracket seems a bit flimsy.

5.0 out of 5 stars These Speakers Are A Bargain!, December 27, 2003
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
We were moving and didn't want to leave the Bose 161 speakers (that I had installed in every room of our home.) I looked for speakers that were less expensive to leave in their place, and took a chance on these Audio Source LS 200 speakers based upon the reviews here in Amazon.com. Although the reviews were good, one doesn't expect "real" quality at this price. You cannot imagine our surprise at the quality of the sound these speakers reproduced! They are not as spacial as the Bose but their dynamic and acoustic range is excellent. Like the Bose they fall off rapidly below about 80Hz but are very linear up to the audible limits. (If you want more bass add a sub-woofer.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, August 28, 2001
By 
This review is from: AudioSource LS100 Four-inch Full Range Indoor/Outdoor Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)
I was looking for something inexpensive to use on my patio. I found these speakers and was a bit reluctant to get them, due to the fact any other 'good' speakers I found was ... and upward. But, for the price and my brother telling me about KLH, I tried these and I am so impressed! I LOVE them! I have them hooked up to my JVC stereo and I am not at all disappointed. In fact, I plan to get more to put around my house and yard. If you looking for a good thing at a bargain price, get these.

I realize that these are very low-price speakers, but I bought them because the rave reviews made me think I was going to get something as good as my relatively cheap Jensens.
Usually with a 2-way or a 3-way speaker, you can put your ear in front of the tweeter and hear all the highs, but I'm not sure the tweeters are even functional.
That said, the cases are reasonable quality and it comes with nice mounting brackets and I will keep them. But they were not the bargain I was hoping for.

4.0 out of 5 stars audio source= good speaker for the $, March 10, 2003
By 
Great speaker for the money. Placed a pair in my kitchen and under eave on my deck. If you are looking to rattle the windows with bass, these are not the speakers for you. You could probably work a sub-woofer in with them and really punch it up a notch. Mounting brackets and connection clips were a little on the cheap side but they work fine and its a small sacrifice for the savings. They seem to handle the weather fairly well if you place them in semi-protected areas. Overall, pretty good deal for the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sound/Great Value, July 23, 2001
These speakers are a great buy. I mounted them using the provided mounting brackets in the ceiling of a screened in porch. Installation of two speakers was about twenty minutes. I was concerned about the bass response, but was pleasantly surprised. These speakers compete well with models costing four or five times as much.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good for the price, December 18, 2001
By

I live in the desert and the summer heat is pretty tough on things like this. If I can get a couple of years out of these, I'll be happy as they are pretty inexpensive. I mounted these to my stucco house with the provided brackets. I used cement anchors, purchased elsewhere, and they are secure. As far as audio quality goes, they are lacking in the low end department. If you have a good quality "boom-box," that will give you a good idea of how they sound from a tonal perspective. Since you will be hooking these up to a stereo receiver, you should get a much louder output than a "boom-box." I still give them a four as they are nice looking,seem of good quality, and good enough to hear while frolicking in the pool or sizzling meat on the grill.
