The five 2-way satellite speakers are really cool.

If you like movie, then then 50-watt powered subwoofer in a front-firing bandpass will be your favorite.
All speakers magnetically shielded against video interference, so it's easy to find a good location around your living room.

Subwoofer features power switch and level control, plus line-level and speaker-level inputs, with feed-through to satellites

It's great for entry level.

I thought I would give KLH a try based on several reviews that this company made good gear. This was a big disappointment. These speakers have nothing - they sound like tin cans. Now you could say you get what you pay for, but I honestly cannot find anything nice to say about them. They have no bass, the midrange is muddy - seems like a few octaves are simply missing, and the highs are loud, but not crisp. The subwoofer is somewhat decent, but its not really 50 watts. It is 25 watts RMS, 50 watt peak. RMS should be the only rating you look at, as it is a more standardized measure of power. I returned mine to the store

This actually is a review on the seller rather then the item. I ordered this item through Amazon.com and it was shipped by J&R Music and Computer World. When I received the item, it was stamped refurbished on all sides of the box, so I never openned it. There most likely is nothing wrong with buying a refurbished item, but the point is that the description on Amazon.com did not say that it was a refurbished item. I'm sure it's not Amazon.com's fault, but be careful of who you're actually buying from...

Having received a DVD player for Christmas I then needed to experience the surround sound, so I researched speaker systems. While I am not an audio afficianado, I do like good sound and I don't believe you have to pay through the nose for it. so when I saw this unit I did further research about the company. I went to their website, read what their business motto("producing superior high fidelity loudspeakers at extremely affordable prices")and read all the reviews I could find. Everything I read was positive so I bought a set.

I am very glad I did. They are quality built and the sound was more than I expected, even without a seperate subwoofer connection on the reciever. I would definitely buy another product made by KLH.

DO NOT BUY if you dont have an amp AND a reciever. first of all, the speakers are puny. Next you need an amp to get 100WATTS as advertised. Wait theres much more, You need a reciever too. And last but not least, this item is refurbished! - which was NOT advertised as you can see.
