I've had these speakers for a few years and love them. I rarely write reviews but felt this one to be necessary as this is a true story. A friend of mine threw a party at a rented hall. She asked me to provide sound and on the night of the event I brought my home stereo and my iPod. I had connected my iPod to my stereo at home before but had never turned the receiver up to a volume that would be necessary for a large room with at least 80 people in it. At the party I had to push the wattage to the limit to get the volume needed but every time I did the receiver would overload and cut off. I quickly drove home and grabbed my Klipsch speakers. Being in a hurry, I didn't take the time to break down the stereo system I had originally brought and just set the satellite speakers on top of my JBL towers and the subwoofer under the table holding the receiver. I always thought these things sounded great in my home but I couldn't believe how loud they could really get if needed without sacrificing sound quality. Many complimented me on the sound but not a single one of them figured out that the sound wasn't coming from the JBL towers. I told a few people what was happening and they were blown away. Some wouldn't believe me until I told them to put their hands in front of the towers and they felt no vibration. I highly recommend you check them out. For the money you can't really beat them.
