Before I owned these speakers, I owned a pair that I purchased back in 2006 and the name brand on those speakers are Altec Lancing; these speakers are a tough act to follow, so I had to do a lot of looking. Klipsch has exceeded my expectations by blowing Altec out of the water. These Klipsch speakers are the best 2.1 speakers I have heard. Every thing that people have been reporting about the fact that they are very loud is true, and the clarity remains at high volume. There is one thing that for the life of me I don't understand: Why do the 2.1 speakers, not have a power button is beyond me.
