clear sound with little power needed.

None. Just need time to break-in, then they really shine.

Got these for Christmas after spending a lot of time listening to other models at different audio stores. I am amazed at the clear sound coming out of these babies. They are used mainly for HT and some music listening. They take about 150 hours of play to open up and shine. So be patient. You will not regret purchasing them.

Clear, clean, good response within their frequency limits.

Need a sub. Is this a weakness? What speaker this size (or twice this size) doesn't? Will amplifiy any weakness in your amp or receiver. (Maybe this should also be under strengths?)

A long story I'll try to make short. Had a Yamaha YHT-18 HTR sytem that I was happy with, except the sub made a BLAT!!! sound at certain LFE frequencies. So I bought a Klipsch KSW-10 sub. Now the rest of my speakers sound like crap. Bought Klipsch SB-2s, SS-1s and SC-1. I wasn't thrilled, too harsh, but I'd just dropped over 1K on these speakers. I tweaked my Yamaha HTR-5440 and got reasonable sound but still not great. Maybe the Amp? Bought a Denon 3802 receiver and these speakers absolutely came to life! Maybe I was seeing the break-in that people here are talking about but I don't think so. Read the reviews on Klipschhorns. I think the SB-2s etc have the same ability to amplify your receiver's weakness. Get a good Amp & they're the best speaker you could own. I'm not talking about more power here, 35 watts should be plenty with speakers this efficient, but quality.

LOUD!!! clear sizzling highs.. the Tractrix horns really amplify the highs and will make you think you are listening to much larger speakers.

it does not have a 6.5 inch woofer. it is a 5.25" even in the Klipsch manual that comes with the speakers it says it has a 6.5 inch. but still for it's size it is excelent.

They are great!! first of all they only have a 5 1/4 inch woofer. (not a 6.5). so u will need a subwoofer. they have great efficiency (93db 1 watt/1 meter) so they can play very loudly with out high power. after all they will only handle 85 watts max RMS. great (loud and clear) highs sizzle out of the Tractrix horn loaded tweeter. the bass is clean and tight. but if u want full range sound u will need a subwoofer especialy if you listen to rap music like i do. if you are shopping in this price range and want to get the most out of your reveiver and dont have alot of room to donate for speakers these are the way to go.

Exceptional clarity, fabulous highs, great overall sound. An excellent value.

Needs a subwoofer if you really need major thump.

Great sounding speakers for their size. Compared to Boston Acoustic and B&W before I bought. The Tractrix horns really blast out the highs. Exceptional clarity. I'm using them as mains in my home theatre. Great sound alone for music.

Crisp and clear sound, excellent quality for the price

None considering the size of the speaker, may not pack enough punch without a subwoofer

These speakers provide excellent crisp sound for CD's and DVD's as front left and right. There is a very full sound produced at low volumes. These speakers are bright - a subwoofer is needed to fill in the low ends. Combined with other Klipsch Synergy speakers, Home Entertainment comes alive.

Very detailed highs and great mid reproduction.

Will need a sub to make up for the low end as mid's are 6.5". I like to get the full range = )

Purchased based on reviews on this forum and from my own listening tests. Great audio clarity and detail especially for the price. Doesn't require much power to attain great sound. Known quality for horns. Currently used in a Pre-Pro/Amp setup with KSW-12 sub.

Great Overall sounding speaker. Nice looking. Cant wait to listenin to them in my room 7/12. Whoo hoo, not too long to go. Better sound than moer expensive speakers. Have a depth and clarity to them i havent heard in other speakers ive listened to.

I cant find any. I Hope the dont have any or ill be returning them.

ive been trying to get my hands on some new speakers, and since my birhtday is coming up i found it to be a great oppurtunity to get the excellent Klipsch SB-2's. ive been to tweeter at least 5 times in the past couple of weeks listening to speakers ranging from 300 dollars to the sky. A curious fact is that the klipsch SB-2s sounded much better than a 600 dollar pair of reference Boston Acoustics bookshelf speakers. Sad but true. Also through much listening and deciding ive come to the conclusion that the SB-2s sound better than the Klipsch Reference series RB-3's, for 650! The Rb-3 speakers hurt my ears. their bass was unrefined and exaggerated, and they over all had a muddier sound than the less expensive SB-2's. Mind you the RB'3 may be a good speakers but to me i think the SB-2's just sound better. Clean bass, punchy but not overdone, just what ive been looking for. The highs are nice, not extremely loud but not laid back to say the least. Definitely not a laid back speaker. In your face! But seriously, the Sb-2's are the bomb, and i cant wait to get them for my b-day.

Everyting Base is unbelievable, placement very important, play with it and move it around.Probably one foot off wall good.

none unless you want to pay more for a more Glitxy Name.

I bought these to upgrade my rears from Pinnacles that were decent.I was going to get Sb-1"s but Klipch"s statement of bigger booms during Dvd watching made the decision.These speakers as stated in other reviews are correct in that if you don't have the room for Floor's for your mains these are definitely awesome in their place.My Wife as many of our's usully could care less about equipment, but after I hooked these up as rears we watched "The Fifth Element" and she was smiling and remarking through-out amazed at what new sounds she never heard.My mains are Klipsch Ksf8.5"s,center-Ksf-c5(which I upgraded from the Klipsch Kv-1-it was worth it),Velodyne Sub.,and believe it or not Sony Str-d515 upgraded by Toshiba Dvd w/DD Decoder.The system sounds so awesome I was thinking of upgrading to a Yamaha Rx-v1200 Rec.but with the add of Klipsch Sb-2"s and Ksf-c5 center I don't know if I"ll hear much of a difference.Hope this was of help.

Natural sounding, crisp highs, good bass, quality cabinet

The Klipsch name isn''t as well known as B&W. Aesthetics with the grill off aren''t as good (subject to opinion :))

I was looking a pair of bookshelf speakers for a music system that wouldn''t cost me over $300. When I got around to listening to the speakers on my list, the only serious contenders were the Klipsch SB-1 and the B&W 303 (Paradigm Titans were close, but I didn''t like the quality of their cabinet; JMLab Chorus 705s sounded terrible). I considered the SB-2 after I found God Guys! selling it as an open box special. The SB-2 has plenty of bass, the highs are very crisp (but not harsh). Vocals are outstanding. The imaging is a little more sensitive to speaker placement than the B&W 303s, but that wasn''t a serious issue for me. The Klipsch and the B&W both sounded very natural. I ended up going with the Klipsch for the slightly extended bass. I''m very happy with my Klipsch to this day.

First Klipsch pair. Comparable to quality of Grado SR-60 headphones (which are held in high regard).
