Summary: Speakers prone to damage in shipment
Review: I can't attest to the sound of these speakers because I never got to use them. The orignial pair I ordered arrived damaged, as did the replacement pair. The factory packing is so poor that the probability of them withstanding shipment of any distance without damage seems remote. Amazon was very good about refunding my money, but this was a major hassle. Check with Amazon about packing before ordering.

Summary: other speakers don't walk the walk
Review: i didn't buy my 1230SBs on amazon, but after seeing how much people were banging on them and other klh products, i have to set the record straight. now, unlike most of the other people writing reviews i bought my KLH speakers at BEST BUY. there i had the chance to listen to them alongside comparable speakers by CERWIN VEGA and JBL powered by the same amps and on the same music. sorry to say, but although the cerwin vega and especially the jbl speakers cost 100s of dollars more, i thought the KLH speakers sounded better. no i don't have hearing problems and no i did not have financial limitations, i just enjoyed the klh speakers more. i've read some reviews where people have said that the bass in these speakers and other large klh speakers and subs was to boomy. i must be either really confused or just crazy because i allways thought people bought large speakers so their bass would boom boom boom. isn't that what bass is?? boom boom boom, because if its not then why do companies make big speakers?? if people don't like bass that sounds like bass then who got the idea to make 12s,15s and 18s?? i'm not crazy or confused, bass is supposed to make the walls shake and the earth quake, and if you don't like boom boom boom in your living room then you shouldn't be buying large speakers, especially not KLH speakers. take it from me. i've listened to these speakers side by side with others like CERWIN VEGA and JBL and for the buck and especially the boom....these speakers blow the others out of the room!!!!!!!

Summary: underestimated speakers
Review: I held off buying these speakers because of some of the nasty reviews. Well the reviewer that said they were a piece of junk is wrong. I have an enormous loft studio and I needed a pair of speakers with enough quality and range to allow me entire days of listening to complex and beautiful music. I bought these and am grateful. Not only are they a physical presence, they are gentle giants. The bass is clear the highs sweet and they love classical music as much as I do. I can enjoy my music for hours on end without the headache even more expensive speakers give me , but then I don't need to wake the dead or impress audiophiles. If you want an great pair of speakers for the sane but low price of this pair. go for it I'm sorry I waited so long Happy 50 year old music lover

Summary: Isn't it what's inside that counts?
Review: I own a 15" KLH Loudspeaker, I made the purchase a long time ago before I knew much about audio, (whooo, 15", 300W, and a Liquid cooled tweeter to boot what could be cooler?)Hmm, lets open it up and take a look The magnet assymbley on the 15" woofer is smaller then the magnet on my 6.5" Midwoofer in my car stereo, wires going to the speakers must be 24ga. (extremely thin) the cross-over also looks pitiful, but hey, for that price what can you expect? At least the box is pretty beefy ;) Screachy high's dull mid's sloppy bass w/absolutly no punch... I plan to Replace these speakers with Cerwin-Vega's AL-750 or AL-1000 but cannot find a dealer! Ok, mabye I'm being a little harsh, the last review on this page is very acurate...

Summary: Full Range Sound... almost..
Review: I've had these speakers for several months, and broke them in with a combination of different types of music. As far as sound, they produce a very full range sound. Although, the sound lacks in a couple areas, of the high frequency, and more so in the mid-range. My solution was to wire them in parallel, with a pair of Polk R10s, which took care of most of the issues. The whole setup is run by a Kenwood receiver, which with the speakers wired in parallel, provides 200Watts per channel, at 4 Ohms.

Summary: Well worth the price
Review: If you are not looking to buy a speaker that blows you off your seat these are it. I currently have them hooked up to a little sony bookshelf stereo system and they exceeded my expectations they are deffinatly worth the money. I have always bought KLH speakers and I have very picky ears. The highs are perfect mids are good and the bass is a little loose nothing a sub wont fix these are not huge speakers but they get the job done I am very impressed....

Summary: OK Speakers
Review: These are acceptable for the price, but don't expect a room full of bass. And don't try to blast the neighborhood with them, you can't.

Summary: GOOD VALUE
Review: These rather mild speakers surprised me. Their high point is their mid rangeclarity, which equals speakers costingthree times as much. Slightly weak on Bass, but excellent on the high end. Ihighly recommend these speakers.

Summary: Extremely cool
Review: These speakers are extremely nice!They have good high range and excellent low frequency. The bass is extremely good, and can almost catch up to my subwoofer(which is very, very nice). I was looking for good speakers at a low price. This is the best deal anywhere.
