I LOVE music, dvd's, and everything. I had some old speakers, and I needed new ones. I didn't have a whole lot of money, so I looked at some cheaper stuff. I found KLH showing up a lot, I never heard of them untill now. I decided to give them a whirl. I got the speakers, hooked them up, and BOOM was blown away!! The sound was INCREDIBLE!!!! I compared them to a friends very nice sony system, and I think it was better, He paid 3 times what I did, He hated to admitt it, but he aggreed that mine were better. Some people dont think it has a good subwoofer, it was decent, but I added a sub- monster cable, and it can shake my house if I want it to, it is INCREDILBE, it is just a GREAT buy, if you are considering speakers, but dont wanna pay $$$, get these, they ROCK!

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I needed a sub- monster cable for it to sound great, cost 20 bucks, but man was it worth it!!!

I have a Harmon Kardon AVR125 Receiver with Sony EQ and JVC DVD player matched with a pair of old ADS Tower Digital Speakers. I live in a relatively small apartment with fairly good acoustics. Recently, I have been looking for some satellite speakers as well as a decent center channel to finish the theatre concept. One of my basic factors was digital (preferably DTS) compatibility. My floor speakers are tremendous so I needed something that would compliment with out breaking the bank.

THESE SPEAKERS DO THE TRICK! Complete with four wall brackets and speaker wire, this is a complete program. The sound is crisp and full, producing Theater quality sound that is especially impressive for viewing DTS movies, sports from cable TV, and even PS2 games. Musically, I tweak the system a bit differently, but once set, the 'live' performances are a trip!

The subwoofer is the weakest link with this system, however, I feel an investment in better cables (Monster) would correct this, besides my floor speakers provide more than enough bass for both me and my neighbors needs. Therefore the subwoofer is of little concern to me.

I looked at the Bose satellite system and came away disappointed and discouraged by the price. Hence, to find these speakers with this high quality for this price $80 + $33 Shipping. This is a good system at twice the price, no kidding. These are perfect apartment speakers and are an especially great upgrade for a home theater system.

BTW, I used the extra speakers to hook up my bedroom! Chicks dig the ambience. 'Nuf said.

Excellent sound on this system, and I found the bass more than adequate for 50 watt subwoofer. A true bargain; it was 100 times better than I expected. Truly worth every dollar spent, and with the savings I was able to enjoy, I purchased a new DVD player. Highly recommended!

I carefully read the reviews and was a little concerned about the bass not being strong enough. But for this price it was a must to buy it. I unpacked the box (it only took 2 days to ship, regular UPS) and hooked it up today. Even thouth my Onkyo receiver has only two speaker outputs (plus a sub out), the three satellites and the woofer sound great. The bass is more than I need and I actually have to turn it down a little. The sound is great compared to the original Onkyo speakers I got with my system. I wonder if the folks here complaining about the subwoofer have a problem with their settings on the receiver. The manual explains some details on how the wrong setting leads to little or no bass. Hope you find a solution. I used to have Bose Acoustimass a couple years back. This system here doesn't come close to it, but for this spectacular price ...you cannot beat it.
I give it all 5.

I recently purchased these speakers because my old ones died. I was looking for a good home theater system at a low price. These exceeded my expectations.

I have noticed a few people complaining about the sub. When I first hooked mine up with the pre-amp output on my receiver via the provided coaxial cable it had almost no sound. I then used a better cable, but got the same results. So I hooked it up through the front speaker outputs and then out came the bass. I don't know if this is because of my receiver or because of the sub. All I know is it fixed the problem. So you may want to try both installation techniques to see what works best with your system.

The speakers sound very good. The sub puts out substantial bass. A 6 speaker system at a very good price makes it difficult to beat.

I bought this system to replace two HUGE speakers that were taking up too much space in the living room. The price was right and other people seemed to like them. Once I got them home, and set them up I was satisfied with their sound once I employed at little EQ tweaking. The sub is a bit muddy and lacks a little punch. 50watts did deliver more power than I expected, just lacked some clarity than other subs I have heard. Now I sohuld say I have an older reciever that lacks a sub connection so I had to run the front outs from my reciever to the speaker pass thoughs on the sub and then out from my sub into my front speakers. So I am sure that is detracting from the over all punchiness and quality of the sub. The satellites performed fine, they lacked some of the crisp high end I was used to with my old speakers and have a bit too much mid for my tastes. I know I sound like I am really putting this system down, but I am not. Just remember the entire set cost like [a little cash] so just keep that in mind. If you are hoping to get the sound of a $500 system then you might be disappointed but if you are looking for a decent system to replace something older, a second system for a bedroom or the kids room, or you want to jump into the world of surround sound but are afraid to spend a bundle then this would be a good choice. The only things I would recommend is to have an EQ in your system to tweak to your liking and budget extra $ for some better speaker wire than this system came with, it is VERY thin and I am sure does not carry the best signal to the speakers. Overall though I am satisfied with this system and got exactly what I was looking for, decent sound in a much smaller package.

I got these speakers to go with my Kenwood VR-507 reciever. (both 100W x 5.1) I did not use the wire that came with speakers, but instead used 16 ga. wire for better responce. For the price, they produce a very clean sound. The powered sub provides ample bass.
Matched with a great reciever, these speakers perform flawlessly.
Overall,I'm extremely pleased with this purchase.

This sounds great with my 100 X 5 receiver. The bass is ok when the subwoofer volume is turned up all the way. But if you want really good bass, consider a 100 watt a minimum for the subwoofer.

The sound is very nice and I have to keep the subwoofer turned down in order to avoid having it overpower things. I'm not sure why some others are having trouble getting good bass. I purchased the pricy Monster brand subwoofer cable and thicker wires for the satellites too. My advise is to try a better cable and make sure your reciever is set up properly (so that the satellites are on SMALL and the subwoofer is on LARGE, etc).

I'll replace these some day, but for now they are doing great.

Based on value alone...5 stars!
Great system to add surround to your system. I like the fact that the satelite speakers are the same as the front. Often the satelites are cheap and lightweight. These seem to be good build quality all around.

You cant even buy a powered sub alone for the price of this system.
