Lots of sound for only running it at less than 50% power, great bass, surprisingly accurate, great bargain

None so far...

It all started when I saw the amazing deal in the Best Buy mini-mag in the paper, I had to see it for myself. So, I went to go demo these $100 floor-speakers and the sounded pretty inaccurate, but great for rock. So I purchased them a day later. When I finally hooked them up to my 100 watt amplifier I was blown away. The passed the "Rock Test" with their loud, booming base and then they totally surprised me when i played a piano track over singing. It was just like being in a concert hall in my own room! It was surround sound with only two channels! They almost sounded just as good as the Paradigns I had listened too a day earlier. They were great!

Definitely the performance/cost ratio. Bass is good.

Pretty wide and low, would prefer a slimmer speaker.

Hearing these speakers at Best Buy really made me question the rumors about the badness of klh speakers. They are very loud, with good bass. You WILL NOT find anything comperable at this price range. I have a 650 watt receiver (100watts per channel)coupled with a 50 watt sony amplifier/subwoofer. These speakers are definitely being pushed to the limit. They are definitely worth the cost.

almost every thing, the sound, the power, the price, build quality..........

The woofer may rattle when played extreemly loud and on deep , deep, deep bass

The first thing I am going to tell you is I am a ver intelligent listener when it comes to sound quality, and let me tell you that these speakers have fofilled every hope and dream I may or even may not have had about them. Most people snub off KLH and their products, but as far as I am concerned this si one of the best speakers at best buy. JBL is over priced, Bose is Overrated, Cerwin-Vega's quality is falling, And the only thing close is the yamahas. But they stopped producing the model that I liked. I have the Sony model STR-DE185 stereo reciever. The bass is set to +4 and the treble +8(all go up to +10) along with the bass boost on. These speakers when used properly for the first 100 hrs. of playing will proide an excellent listening experience. The sound is almost perfect. I have had these thing all the way up and down and still nothing blown or rattling. I have no clue why the tweeters would blow on these, they are excellent. The woofer is very strong and provides a decent amount of thump. The only thing I modified was I added a piece of poly fill behind the woofer and it seemed to take the boominess out of the equation. I purchased the extra warranty thinking these would blow but havent yet.I even like these so much I am thinking of buying the 100watt 10" subwoofer to add even more excelent sound.

Unbeatable value; pleasant room-filling sound.

Deep bass is absent.

Overall sound is smooth and natural. Bass tends to 'boom' rather than 'thump.' They play more than loud enough with 100 watts/channel to fill a 12'x16' room. Considering that you can't buy a speaker cabinet (i.e. add the drivers yourself) for this price, they are an excellent value.

BASS, TREBLE, MID, LOOK OF SPEAKER, and it is great for when you have a fight with your parents that you can go into your room and let the bass annoy them till morning.

NONE ive had it 6 months and i love it.

OK im 15 so i know i dont have huge experience with speakers but i like em. i have herad plenty of home theater system and i think mines is pretty decent for a 15 year old with no income. i have a KLH reciever, the 9912 mains, 2 KLH multipurpose speakers as my rears, my beloved JBL center channel, ( i would have a complete JBL system but as said before NO INCOME!!! i cant afford JBL) and my other pride and joy of my system a 200 watt RCA subwoofer the Pro-SW220P. Now back to the reason i am writing this. i have never had a problem with my speakersi play extremely loud rap and r&b. the police have been called out twice and i had to curse out the neighbors once for getting a attitude with me about the music. a huge amount of bass i love it. for the price it is great i have just read 61 reviews and the people with the problems i have not experienced 1 of them. i think its a great peice of equitment. as for the people saying that things sound bad in best buy, i completly agree. they need to get a sound room.

Price, sound quality, loudness.

None, other than the fact that they over-powered the rest of my speakers, so I had to replace the others as well.

After reading several reviews regarding this model and several other tower speakers, I went in to Best Buy and listened to every pair of tower speakers they had. The 9912's sounded better than every other model I tried, as far a full-bodied sound. All other speakers, regardless of price, lacked either bass substance or treble clarity, or were just altogether 'muddy'-sounding. I took these speakers home and hooked them up to my Pioneer VSX-D508 (5x100w) receiver. At first they were very boomy, and the bass drowned out everything else. But moving them away from the wall a bit took care of the excess bass.

sound good at low volume

when played at high volume tweeter blows and cusses you're channel to get messes up which means you need to have the speakers serviced and the receiver

Well they are pretty good. they sound good but I have a Sony 1075 receiver and when played at high volume tweeter blows and cusses you're channel to get messes up which means you need to have the speakers serviced and the receiver. so if you plan to play them at high volume then you should spend you're money on some other speakers. I have had this happen two times.

Good blast for the buck, great for people who like to listen to stuff like loud rock. No better deal for the money. They have good sound quality, and even great sound unless your comparing to something $1500 high-fidelity speakers.

Dont get these if your look for the best speakers out there or something like Bose.

Why spend ten times the amount of money just to get a little better sound in the classical/jazz area when you can get something almost just as good for a fraction of the cost. If you have the money to go bigger, do it. But if you dont, you wont find a better deal for the cost. These sound way better then my brothers shelf system that he paid $220 for. So if your looking for a great entry level sound system that can be cranked up without breaking a sweet, buy a 150 dollar receiver and these and your set to go.

Great treble and bass.

Weak midrange (fixable though-just run a wire between the woofer and midrange drivers).t

Great speakers for the money. I got these for Christmas in 2000. The treble and bass are outstanding. Great frequency range. The midrange is a bit underpowered, but I fixed this by connecting the empty second terminals on the woofer and midrange drivers. These are excellent speakers for the money. I do recommend them to those with tight budgets. The 9912s replaced some really crappy RCA 3" speakers that came with an earlier Pro Logic system I had, which I was happy to be rid of.s
