They got here quickly, and were in absolutely perfect condition. What a boost they've given to my computer. These speakers put my old Yamaha set to shame. I can even park them in an open window while I am outside gardening, and enjoy my music with excellent fidelity.These are supposedly refurbished; they must have been pulled form the assembly line for rework because they are flawless.
if you like bass response, you can dial these right in. you don't need a sub-woofer.people who know about Klipsch will sware by them.
Finally, there is always a light on whether the speakers are on (blue) or off (red). The quirky: these are strange speakers, in that the volume control never stops either direction.
I found the Klipsch PM20 2.0 set on Amazon for around $66 after reading great reviews. The good: very clear and high-fidelity mid and high range, with bass much better than most 2.0 speakers.
I was looking for a smaller (and fairly cheap), but good quality, set of speakers that were easily portable. But the PM20 set probably is not meant to compete against a subwoofer system.
These are good quality. The bad: the bass is OK, but no where near my old set of Altec Lansing ACS340 2.1 speakers.
The same knob, when pushed in, controls the bass/treble (never stops), but I really cannot perceive any difference when adjusting bass/treble. The PM20 are acceptable and a big cut above cheapie 2.0s, but shop around, and don't pay too much for them.
When I bought these speakers it was in the hope that they would be able to produce a little sound. I like listening to music at a louder level while in my home, and when I try and crank them up they distort the music. Unless you listen to your music in front of your computer with your ears on the speakers stay away from this product
The bass seems better defined with the Klipsch also but that may because it is in front of you and not at your feet.I purchased my pair for about $35 as the were refurbished; no problems at all. I do a lot of presentations that typically contain music and a lot of smaller rooms do not have any form of a PA/Media station to access. The only issue that I had was not a big deal because I have plenty of cables but the cable between the two speakers is pretty darn short. These are great - not overly large, plenty loud enough and excellent response. These are actually louder than my desktop system which has a seperate sub. I suppose 'wireless' speakers might be an option but each of those needs to be plugged into a wall outlet via a wire, which is not too good for presentation versatility.Best thing is to listen to a pair and see if they are for you. I compared them to Logitech, Bose and Sony systems and preferred Klipsch even without considering the huge cost difference which was even before I found the refurb ones.If you are planning a purchase of a refurbished model, Klipsch does have a listing at their site of bonafide dealers so that your warrantee will be supported.
