My husband bought these speakers for me for my birthday because we like to sit out on our deck and listen to our music. Our only affordable alternative was to leave the slider open.(not great when it's 105).When we first started searching most of the speakers were VERY expensive!... We almost gave up. I'm glad we didn't. My husband did a great job installing the speakers under the eve of the house. We have a surround sound home theatre so we are not stupid about sound quality, but we are not audiofiles either. These speakers sound great! We can even hear the music from the lower patio, without having to crank it too high. The way my dear husband has them installed, we can listen to music late at night without bothering the kids inside. For the [money] we paid for the speakers & the [money] for the wire & switch box I feel we have received thousands in musical joy in return. I can't wait to have friends over in the evening!

These speakers are great! They can be used indoors as surround sound for a home theater, stereo, ect., and are aslo great for outdoor use too! The setup easy so you can be Jammin in no time! They are the perfect size for a bookshelf or you can mount them on the wall like I did! They come w/ every thing you need (except,a screw driver for mounting) even 2 12 foot speaker wires! I had mine setup in about 10 min! The 1 3/4 in. Mosture-resistant poly cone tweeter and the 4 in. polypropylene dynamic woofer give it great sound! They also have 5-way gold binding posts for great sound!

I mounted four of these speakers in an old truck--two on the floor and two behind the bench seat all hooked up to a cheap, 100 watt amp boosting that old, original factory radio. They sounded great with volume output to spare. I wanted a heavy-duty setup that sounded good and didn't cost very much. They fit the bill nicely. I was going to add a small subwoofer, but that old truck took a dive on me. I have a much newer truck now with a nice-sounding factory stereo system, but I wish I had a place for these speakers still. Maybe I'll get another old truck...

I have several sets of these speakers, used in various indoor and outdoor applications. In each setting they have performed beyond expectation. Although the bass is not overpowering, it is adaquate. Otherwise, a well balance, versatile speaker.

These speakers sound like it is surround sound it looks good so when people come over you wont have to hide them i think these are great speakers.Hope you like them if u have the chance to get them!

Remarkably good speakers at a great price point.

My brother and I bought a set of KLH 970 speakers (5-40watt) 8 or so years ago for my father to replace some old larger speakers in his house, and they are the best value speakers I have ever seen. We liked them so much we got a second set to replace the other set of speakers on his stereo. This model is 10-100 watt speakers. These little guys really deliver a great range of sound in a small package. It's not suprising to me that KLH is still making this exact model this many years later. You can't find another 3 way sound speaker at this price. Also, they are durable and are weather resistant. I don't recommend leaving them on a patio in a monsoon or a blizzard, and the black doesn't make good friends in bright sun, but you can mount these to the porch or patio roof/overhang and leave these out in damp weather with no loss of wear or sound, at least not as of yet. The more I looked around at different facilities with PA or sound systems outdoors, the more I have noticed these speakers being utilized. So if you have just a few bucks and want to some aged speakers, this is the perfect little set to get. Everybody thinks bigger and pricer is better, but I have to argue that these speakers have done their job superbly, and thats why my dad still uses them 8 years later. Note, as with many small speakers, if you are a bass sound fan, then you might want to buy a sub-woofer, but these do a fine job at normal range.

We purchased these speakers last week and were pleasantly surprised with the sound quality they produced. For the price that we paid it was a steal. We have them hooked up with a Sony Receiver as our third and fourth speakers and the sound-although not too bassy-completely complement our cambridge soundworks main speakers in the front of our system. They can easily pass for $150-200 speakers that I've heard elsewhere. You will not be dissappointed! Thanks KLH and Amazon!

KLH brought to the world the complete sounds of the orchestra and EAST & WEST coast JAZZ to the HARD ROCK. In the early 60's I first heard music from KLH speakers and KLH sound systems. I bought all the models. Again, in the 80's I bought more speakers.
All are still playing on a model 20 set up. Not much can still compare to my set.

These speakers sound like it is surround sound it looks good so when people come over you wont have to hide them i think these are great speakers.Hope you like them if u have the chance to get them!!!
