“The service was excellent. I purchased this product on the recommendation of audiophile YouTuber Andrew Robinson. Sadly, I was duped. The Klipsch plays loud, but it’s just “okay” sounding. It’s not bad, but I certainly would not consider it audiophile grade. Overall it’s a solid C+. Is it a harsh horn tweeter - actually no. Is it a mid-range hole, no - that seems okay. But knock on the box. It’s HOLLOW - HOLlow- hollow. Does that cheap hollow box make a cheap hollow timber? Yes it does. I toggled this speaker against (granted a more expensive) Polk 705. It was a drastic difference of clarity, detail and lifelike; and I didn’t want it to be. I wanted the Klipsch to be different but good. So, then I moved the Klipsch to the media room to toggle them against a vintage pair of staked original Advents (powered with a vintage Technics SA-600, 70 WPC). Well, again, the stacked Advents were demonstrably more enjoyable; more real with a more round and complete sound. If you’re a DJ these are good for a small venue. I’ve put them up for sale with an online auction site. I think people will tire quickly once the novelty of having something new wears off, and the ho-hum reality of their sound settles in - then they’ll be tons of these on the used market for less then half of what people paid new.”
