" ... Klipsch wants nearly as much as I paid for the speakers to replace the phono pre amp. ... "

" ... these sound okay, no better than the audioengine a5's imo. ... "

" ... They are accurate but of course are lacking in the lower bass due to their physical size but I think they still sound acceptable and they do provide a subwoofer output with independent output gain control via the remote if you need it. ... "

" ... Bluetooth is nice feature to have - though more easily switchable on the speaker itself (the front light could have been an input selector as well) would have been a nice improvement over fumbling with a mostly worthless likely-to-lose tiny remote. ... "
