5.0 out of 5 stars Great Speakers for the Money, December 24, 2001

I am very impressed with the KLH SS02-HTIB speaker set, and for the money I couldn't be happier. The 8 inch powered subwoofer delivers good strong bass, and unlike other low-priced (and some much more expensive brands), it has both line and speaker-wire inputs, plus an auto off timer, phase in/out, adjustable crossover (30-180 Hz) and amplifier gain controls. That flexibility means you can connect it in many configurations, whether the receiver has a subwoofer output or not. The front, center and rear speakers are all identical, with 4 inch midrange and 5/8 inch tweeter. They deliver smooth full midrange and couple flawlessly with the subwoofer. For my tastes the tweeter could be a bit more brilliant on some music, but I adjust by inching the treble up a few decibels on the receiver in those situations and it sounds great. I compared several brands like Sony, Yamaha and JBL, but being budget conscious I could not justify more for those brands when these KLHs sounded just as good to me. (Noticed that Yamaha has the same satellites as rear speakers on a much more expensive set.) Overall the SS02-HTIB has all the bass you'd ever want, and a very smooth sound that's full but never shrill.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome Speakers for a Great Price, February 9, 2002

This review is from: KLH SS02-HTIB 100W 6-Piece Home Theater Speaker System with 8" 120W Front Firing Subwoofer (Electronics)

Pros: Awsome speakers, Low price, 120W powered sub, wires included, a company you can trust, and the gates to a whole 'nother world.

Cons: Doesn't come with sub hook-up, std wires aren't your best choice, so cheap you're afraid to buy them. BUT YOU SHOULD! THEY RULE!!!!!

KLH has done it again! I had A sucky sound system in my room (2 very old, sucky Realistic speakers and a decent Infinity center speaker. It had an extremely old reciver hooked up to it.)So ever since I got my Dad's old reciver, (which wasn't very old he just wanted all the new technology since he got a progressive scan DVD player.) I needed new speakers. Though with only 200 bucks to spend, I was in a rut. I wanted full surround sound and a sub. After much research, I had several ideas, but the complete set KLH set seemed to be perfect for me. And sure enough it is! The sattilites are clear and precise and sound great alone, but the sub really makes up for the small speaker bass. This set even includes the wires for the speakers, though is lacking a sub plug. I hooked my front sattilites up through the sub. But with the right reciver, these speakers rock. Litteraly. Hooked up to my PS2, I have ultamite entertainment. I mooved to gaming councles after both our computer started messing up and do only the bare essentials. So that is where I spend my time. And when I compare my setup to my Dad's which cost more than 3 times the amount, just for the speakers, It's a close match. But he has a few advantages. :)
Bottom line: in this price range, nothing can compare to the capabilities of these KLH surrounders

I wanted a home theater speaker system but didn't want to spend alot of money. I am very glad I purchased this system. I compared these speakers with many others and they sounded as good as any I listened too. If you want a great system without paying big bucks for it, then these speakers are for you. I cannot think of anything to complain about and I plan on purchasing another set for a second TV room in the near future.
