My 10 year old Advent speakers finally bit the dust and I was in the market for some new computer speakers. I had read several reviews of the Klipshe and they were overall positive but there were some concerns.
1. Durability 2. Popping in the highs and mids 3. Bass Distortion and boominess
I can't speak to the first yet. I just bought them. For the second, I find the highs and mid really clear and crisp without popping or clicking. As for the third, i've found it's all about placement. If the subwoofer is placed near a wall and next to or inside of a desk, it's a bit boomy with some low level distortion. Pull it off the wall about 1.5-2 feet and move it around the room (away from the side of the desk) to the extent you can and you'll probably find a sweet spot that has a good balance between kick and resonance. All rooms are different of course but placement seems to be the key. Overall for the price, they are a great set of clear sounding really really loud speakers that can play a wide array of music and sound as close to actual loudspeakers run through an amp as you can get for computer speakers. Highly recommended.
What's great about it: Great Sound at a great price
