Customer Reviews

Hey, they're only $30 and they work great!
These speakers work great. They are small, easy to install and unless your truly looking for great sound in your less than sound stage back yard, these are fine. My first set lasted 3 years and I replaced them with the same. I live on the coast with full sun, wind and rain exposure. $30 every 3 years is a bargain!

Perfect for Rear Surround Applications
I can't imagine someone using these little creatures as primary front speakers, but for rear surround speakers they are a perfect fit. Additionally, you can't beat the price. The mounting hardward is very spartan but it gets the job done. A perfect fit for an entry level surround sound system.

The little speaker that could...
I purchased my pair of KLH 970A's about six years ago to use as rear surround speakers. My primary reason for buying them was their price - who could resist trying a pair of speakers at this price? I have enjoyed these speakers almost every day for the past six years, and they still amaze me with their quality. The build quality is superb, and unlike some fellow reviewers, I have found the speaker brackets to be well made and very useful. Speaker stands and brackets are one of the most overpriced audio accessories available - so it's amazing that KLH provides brackets for the 970A, especially at this price.

The three-way design is somewhat a novelty at this size (the woofer is only 4") but the 970A produces full, rich sound that belies its diminuitive size. But a key to enjoying these speakers is understanding their limitations. This should be well understood, but some people still believe that a non-ported mirco-bookshelf speaker should be able to produce strong, heavy bass. KLH rates the frequency response at 90Hz to 20kHz, which seems accurate - and accordingly, deep bass extension should not be expected. Using the 970A with a subwoofer will provide the extended bass response, if that is desired. Highs are crisp and detailed, and unlike what one reviewer said, there is plenty of midrange. I have also used one 970A as a center channel speaker with wonderful results. The crisp, detailed sound from these speakers is simply unbelievable.

Although versatile and useful in many applications, the 970A works best as a surround channel speaker for in-home use. Outdoors, however, the 970A is great as a front-channel speaker. Many people shy away from KLH products because of their low price - but the 970A shouldn't be passed up. Price is certainly not a determinant of quality in this case, and the 970A is a wonderful little speaker.
