Product Description

Amazon.com Review

KLH's Model 325 Home Theater Satellite Speakers function nicely as a stereo bookshelf pair or as an integral part of a small-scale home-theater setup. The Model 325s are compact--they stand about a foot high and produce next to nothing below 80 Hz (the upper bass region)--but if you use them in tandem with a subwoofer, you can extend their perceived range to be much deeper.

We found that the KLH 325s sounded best in smaller applications where they can power a room on their own, such as office or bedroom setups. They're too large and too efficient for close-quarters computer use; a tiny boost from a small amplifier is more than enough to get the 325s cranking. Supplied brackets facilitate wall mounting, but make sure the tweeters are at or below ear level, as the high frequencies cut out sharply the second you move off-axis.

When positioned correctly, the 325s offer surprisingly balanced sound. Given their three-driver design, we assumed KLH would try to push a lot of bass from these speakers, but this is not the case. The manufacturer has wisely let the speakers "speak" in the range most comfortable for them and they're all the more listenable for it. Voices and strummed guitars (both acoustic and electric) sounded especially sweet at both loud and soft levels, inviting sustained listening. Lengthy, soldered speaker wire is supplied for flexible positioning.

Pros:

• Good sound for their size
• Easy to drive
• Simple setup

Cons:

• Highly directional

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality Satilite Speakers for the money., November 2, 1999

This review is from: KLH Model 325 Platinum Series Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)

These speakers are a cost-effective solution for remote sound in a Family Room or Home Office. The sound is better than expected for the low cost. Plenty of power to be used without additional speakers. Wall mounting is tricky (non-adjustable bracket), but achievable.
