Though I am not an incredible fan of KLH products, while browsing at BestBuy I heard some thunderous bass and like a fish to a lour, I came accordingly to check it out. As I walked to the back-end of the store the sound diverted towards the home theatre department, I followed the sound till I reached its source...a little 10' KLH sub. I was quite impressed with how much bass this thing was pumping out, though it was a little boomy and not what you would remotely consider "audiophile" quality...the low fequencies and sheer volume were respectable. I glanced at the price-tag and recieved sticker-shock, it was only $120.00 I went to Best Buys highed priced sub, a JBL "professional" 12' 250 watt sub. It was retailing for roughly $650.00. I must say, the KLH more then held its own against the supposed "superior" sub.
Needless to say, I pluncked down the cash and took her home. Upon arrival, I quickly took it out of the box (nothing fancy about the inner content, just the Sub and a warrenty sheet). I got everything all ready and then played "the Eminem show". I must say, I was impressed as it seemed to fill the air space better then my Polk RT2000p's. However, I found it simply was not as accurate as my Polks so I gave the sub to my parents. Now I can finally complain about their bass being too loud. haha
The moral of this story, if there is a local BestBuy near you, then see if they have this little sub and give her a listen. Dont expect it to "wow" you in comparison with Velodyne, Sunfire, etc.. its only $120.00.
