IT IS AS GOOD AS THEY SAY

I was impressed by over 400 reviews, looking for computer speakers for my daughter's small LA rental house, with 450 square foot living room. And I remember Klipsch from my high-fidelity college days of Bose, Dual, and Shure V15. I had bought a 2 & 1 set of computer speakers about 10 years ago from Best Buy that have stood up and I am using them today in my office - sound is great. A name brand also, Altec Lansing. So I was looking in that general price range.
But over 400 reviews got my attention at $155. I read maybe 50 to 100 of the reviews, and we stopped by a Best Buy to listen. The radio music was not that impressive, even at high volume, but I bought the speakers anyway.
My wife had noticed that the salesman mentioned they can be wall-mounted. So I put up the satellites with about 10 feet distance for good stereo effect, the woofer on the floor in the corner. We didn't turn them up that first time; the hour was late and we were afraid of disturbing the neighbors. On a later visit, by myself, I cranked up the volume on some jazz music, and then stepped out in front to see if the cops would be coming. It wasn't too loud outside, but very noticeable. A neighbor who happened to be outside, said "That sounds nice. You can tell a good sound system from jazz and classical." But I couldn't get him to poke his head in the door for the full effect.
The sound quality was absolutely astounding! I switched from Brazilian samba over to a classical playlist on the iTunes, some Handel Water Music. Equally high volume. I stood back about 20 feet, the living room is long and narrow, about 15 by 30, with the speakers on one end. The music was transcendental. There was a knock on the door. The same neighbor was back. "Can I poke my head in this time?" He entered. He was as floored as I was.
My daughter had a party shortly after that. She wrote "I love how you mounted them so the sound just kicks out into the room - it was so awesome, everybody noticed the quality." She listens often, sometimes to iTunes, sometimes to YouTube playlists. These speakers are worth every penny and then some. Have fun.

What's great about it: superb clarity, crisp sound, impressive volume
I would recommend this to a friend!
