Worth every penny and more

I got these speakers after first making the mistake of buying another company's surround system. While this speaker set isn't surround sound, the quality of the sound it does create is so superior to the competitors that I don't even miss having rear speakers. While I certainly wouldn't attempt to master a musical recording with them or anything like that, for general computer listening purposes they are outstanding, and I would buy them again in a heartbeat.

I used a graphic equalizer to extend the high and low frequencies to make these speakers shine.

Better than Bose spearkers

Verified Purchase:Yes

I bought from Amazon some Bose computer speakers for $299 and had to return them. They were awful. I have other Bose products and I am very satisfied with them. But these Klipsch speakers for my computer sounded so much better and at half the cost of the Bose speakers. Also you can adjust the base which I couldn't with the Bose speakers and they are really powerful. Just great speakers!

Fantastic for the Money

on May 17, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes

I recently upgraded my sound card to a Creative Sound Blaster Zx sound card. The card does an excellent job of separating my audio from the interference generated by my motherboard and other equipment. However, the speakers I was using, the Bose Companion IIs just weren't up to the task of reproducing the higher grade audio signal. I saw the Klipsch on sale and decided it was time for an upgrade. This system is not the highest end audio experience out there. It's also not the most expensive. But from a cost/price perspective this was the clear winner in my books. It also has an mini-stereo input connector on the volume module which has proven to be a real plus for me. It allows me to leverage this speaker system as a mini hi-fi system for my portable music players.

So, what did I get for the money. Each speaker has a midrange and a tweeter. The low end is sent to an 8 inch sub. The first thing I noticed is that the speakers play very loud. Each volume knob rotates about 300 degrees from 0 to max volume for both the sub and the satellite speakers. For my listening space I have the volume for both the satellites and the sub set to 10 degrees from 0. My volume on the pc is also set very low. For near field listening it is plenty loud and detailed. I've had Bose, Yamaha, Cambridge Soundworks, and Altec Lancing computer speakers over the years and the only system that has come close the Klipsch is the Cambridge Soundworks. And the Cambridge is almost 15 years old and still being used as a mini stereo system in my basement.

The Klipsch are made of plastic. The Satellite cabinets do resonate. The louder they go the more they resonate. In all honestly I haven't noticed any appreciable detraction from my listening experience. My video games have nice, detailed highs and mids, and the explosions, gun shots, and foot falls of giant stompy mechs have that satisfying bom bom bom you would expect from a sub. Movies from Netflix and other streaming services sound decent as well. Don't expect 5.1 home theater quality sound but it's excellent 2.1 home computer theater.

The other item I do like is that I can plug in external sources easily using a simple headphone stereo connector. I use my old Zune portable MP3 player simply because it has an HD receiver built in, a Pioneer Elite receiver that was collecting dust in the corner from my last home theater upgrade, and my tablet for those times when the built in speakers are not enough.

Now, not everything is honey and cup cakes. Even through the grills come off of these speakers you'll want to keep them on. They are super ugly with the grills off. Second, there is no off switch. Not sure why something as simple and inexpensive as a power switch is such a no no feature these days but they are becoming a rarity in the computer speaker world. Take a look at that super expensive Bose speakers. You'll hear them humming all night drinking up electricity when nothing else is turned on. I plugged mine into a small Panamamax power strip so that I could isolate this as well as a few other components that require a physical disconnect from power when not in use. ie, it has a power switch.

Finally, whatever you run through these speakers you will want to have some kind of DAC or equalizer function to process your music source. Otherwise these babies will make your audio experience sound very harsh. I ran into this when I first purchased the unit. I hooked an old CD player directly to the unit. The sound was terrible. I then ran the same CD on my computer desktop with the new sound card. The Creative Labs card has a 24-bit DAC. The difference was immediately noticeable. The same with my Pioneer Elite. The sound quality was night and day when compared to the direct sourced, unprocessed music. So, if you plan on hooking these up to a poor audio source without a DAC then you may not like these. My recommendation is bring a stereo cable with you to BB and try out your MP3 player, iPhone, or whatever portable device you, and try these out on the floor before making your purchasing decision. I did and am not regretting the decision. Outside of investing in a real hi-fi system for my computer these do the job just fine.
