KLH AV5001 Floor-Standing Speaker

Rating:
Summary: For Jazz and Classical
Review: A 50 watt amp doesn't break a sweat driving these speakers. No need for high volume to enjoy. The sound reproduction is awesome for all frequencies. Only drawback - they are BIG, really BIG.

Summary: Outstanding Value
Review: Because of the price, I figured they would sound cheap. That is not the case. These are some very rich sounding speakers. From every volume level, mine to his [his being exceedingly loud], there is good bass and the treble is crisp. The only problem we encountered was a vibration on one of the speakers when turned up a few db's. The vibration was due to an inadequate seal on the back wall of the box. We fixed that with minimal effort.

Summary: Very Pleased
Review: Have had speakers 6 days; I'm giving them a "break-in" period.
Thus far I couldn't be more pleased. They seem to produce everything from highs to lows with ease. I have a wide variety of tastes in music. It ranges from classical to the screamer Manard Ferguson. They have satisfied me in every respect. When I listen to Wynton Marsalis he sounds unbelievable. To anyone, I can't see buying "audiophile" equipment when this product is so satisfying. I'll probably upgrade them in time.

Summary: Don't be an audio snob!! Buy these speakers.
Review: I bought these speakers christmas 2001 so I've been listening to them for a year now. I have them paired with a smaller set of KLH bookshelf speakers. Powered by a 100 watt Teac home audio receiver along with a Teac equalizer connected with gold tipped monster cable. These speakers ROCK!! really. The sound is very clean. Regaurdless of weather your listening to rock, jazz ect..
With the smooth jazz or very instramental songs you can hear everything. The seperation of sound is just wonderfull. But on the other hand they can also put out the very loud thumping bass that would make a marshall stack proud, that's if you can take turning up the volume. I havn't had the need to blow out my ears or really disturb the neighbors so I've not turned the receiver up past 4 on an 8 volume knob. But at 3-4 the sound is loud enough for an enclosed room. I bought the EQ after getting the speakers in order to better control the sound. What I found was that without the EQ in some cases the bass was overpowering. The EQ has given me the ability to tone down the bass or midrange when needed.
The size of these speakers are to say big. If you have a small place these speakers are not for you. They need to be seperated by some space. I have mine on opposite sides of the room with the bookshelfs in between which work out ok. In a large room they take up space really nice and look great. I would have liked them to be a honey color which I saw KLH made but was never able to find them but the black is fine. The only bad thing I can find that I would change is the terminals which are the clip type. A screw type binder would have really made these the ultimate package but with the price of these speakers it's really easy to look the other way. Bottom line : if you can get past the snobbish remarks you might get from the audiophiles that think the only way you can get great sound is by spending thousands of dollars then your home free. Besides, I don't know many people that construct their homes to be concert halls. Most get what the contractor builds in a particular area. these speakers take avantage of what most people have and KLH should be commended on selling an affordable speaker that really Rocks!

Summary: AWESOME speakers AWESOME price AWESOME value AWESOME
Review: I bought two of these and could not wait for them to arrive. ...I must say, it was well worth the wait... Sorry, I had to get that out of the way. Thanks AMAZON for the great deal...NOW, for the sound & quality. They sound AMAZING!!! GREAT highs, GREAT lows. VERY CRISP and CLEAR SOUND. I love them. My friend has a set of ...speakers(w/fully powered sub-woofers). While I must admit they're awesome even my friend says these KLH's sound amazing and He would have easily bought these before droping almost 2 grand on the others. I have to admit...I was a little uneasy about buying without hearing...a gamble I'm glad I took. ALSO, they look great. I love the Painted Black Wood look, it matches perfectly with my entire system. I say, "PERFECT","PERFECT", I say. Again, thank you AMAZON for the great deal. I love these speakers and look forward to my DVD movies with great anticipation. THESE SPEAKERS ARE EASILY WORTH THE MONEY (plus a tip) WITH QUALITY & VALUE TO SPARE!!!
