I was very apprehensive while researching about this speaker set since I research all my purchases to death before I commit. A lot of reviews consisted of broken connectors, bad satellites, and no power switch. Well now that I have owned my Klipsch for over 3 Months I can honestly say I have no problems to this day. The connections are as solid as the first day I got them, and they sound just as nice. Neither of the satellites have had any issues. The first day I picked them up, I followed the instructions and set it up, turned them on, plugged in my cellphone (3.5mm jack works for aux devices too) and pressed play on my media player. At that moment my ears fell in love, the bass was very deep and rich, the mids were great and the highs sounded crisp and clean. Ever since that day, I have listened to a variety of songs ranging from country to rock, to hip-hop and rap. These have yet to un-impress me. The amount of bass that this thing pumps out is well worth the price, My room is about 12' by 13' and it makes the objects in my room vibrate at 3/4 on the sub dial and full on volume. With both dials maxed I literally have to cover my ears for fear of becoming instantly deaf, and I can feel the music in my gut. Don't be mistaken, at 1/4 on both dials I can still hear it down the hall about 15' feet away from my bedroom, with the door closed.
All in all these are amazing for the price, I have no complaints what-so-ever, the lack of a power switch is odd but its easily overcome with a switched outlet/power strip. The volume is great, and the range is fantastic. I purchased a Black-Tie 2year warranty with these so I can blast them without worry of breaking them and being sol since the warranty will replace or fix them even if I popped a speaker during a fun night. :)
One word of caution, the sub unit gets rather hot at high sub levels so ventilation is key for extended use at ear-splitting volume.
I would purchase these 10x over at the price of $200 if I had to.
What's great about it: Amount Of Bass, Great Value, Sound Quality, Ease of Set Up, Solid Build
What's not so great: Sub Can Get Hot At High Levels With Extended Use
