Even with the advent of digital photography, this black and white film still delivers an atmospheric photo that catches very detail, down to the nitty gritty.

I purchased these for music listening. I had been using a vintage pair of Advent mini bookshelf speakers but wanted something much better. The Klipsch speakers sit on a shelf about 4.5 feet high and about 6-7" from the wall. I listen from about 15 feet away, slightly below axis. My audio sources are all analog (AR XA turntable and Sony tape decks). I have been listening to everything (Stan Getz, Chicago, ELO, The Cure). So far, these speakers are amazing. I do not find them overly bright, as many reviewers have said. I actually find them very neutral and accurate. The bass is very good. I could easily tell a standup bass from an electric. I can hear the breathiness of Stan Getz sax playing. One of the most noticeable abilities of these speakers is to reproduce drums and cymbals accurately. I could hear things I hadn't noticed before (little accidental rim shots, the sound of the wooden drumstick hitting the bell of the ride cymbal. Not just the cymbal but the sound of the stick). I listened to a vinyl copy of ELOs second album. My old Advent's failed miserably on this one (in fact it was painful). These Klipsch speakers reproduced everything flawlessly. I don't think I have ever enjoyed this album as much. The strings, synths and even Jeff Lynn's guitar all sounded amazing and coherent, as they were intended. This morning, I listened to a copy of Moody Blues Days of Future Passed from a cassette tape (with Dolby). Again, the sound was great. I forgot I was listening to a cassette. I was doubtful that speakers this small and inexpensive could really do what Klipsch is known for, but these really sound amazing. They are bright and clear but seem very accurate and detailed. I don't like dull speakers but didn't want excessively bright either. These seem to be just right.

These bookshelf speakers sound great and tonality is balanced. In addition, I have a Sony 10" subwoofer. Overall, it exceeded my expectation.

I bought the Klipsch bookshelf setup with the four small speakers, the midrange, and the 12" sub woofer twenty five years ago. The system has been used A LOT, and sometimes very loud. It still sounds as good as the day I bought them. If the new system is anything like the old one, Its like a once in a life time buy. By the way, you've found a way to take my Klipsch with me, the Klipsch Groove. Just bought one, so far so good. I will let you know in twenty five years how much I used it and liked it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JBL Authentics 200 is a fantastic bookshelf speaker that delivers exceptional audio quality and style. From the moment you unbox these speakers, you can tell JBL put a lot of thought into the design. The wood cabinet has a classic retro look with modern flair thanks to the mesh grille accents. But it's the sound quality that really makes these speakers stand out. The two-way design utilizes a 6.5" polymer-coated woofer and a 1" soft-dome tweeter. Together they produce crisp highs, clear mids, and rich lows, filling your room with detailed and dynamic audio. Whether you're listening to music, watching movies, or gaming, the JBL Authentics 200 speakers bring out the best in your audio. The soundstage is quite expansive for a bookshelf speaker this size too. The instruments and vocals seem to come from distinct points around the room, making for a very immersive listening experience. The bass is tight and punchy, adding a nice sense of warmth to music. Overall, the JBL Authentics 200 delivers phenomenal sound in a stylish and compact package. Audiophiles will love the accurate audio reproduction, while the average consumer will appreciate the easy setup and appealing aesthetics. If you're looking for speakers that offer exceptional quality and design for the price, the JBL Authentics 200 should be at the top of your list.

The Sony bookshelf speakers are amazing. I will also mention good service since the delivery was fast and everything was accurate.
