that's pretty cheap, I've got too many speakers as it is

ThatHideousStrength · 01-09-2006, 09:49 AM

how many do you get? it says one per household so do you get 2 speakers or one?

Hubcap · 01-09-2006, 09:50 AM

yea its 1 per household, you get a pair of speakers. So 2. You can never have to many speakers. I might even use them for part of my computer speakers. They are bigger then my current rear surrounds on my home theater so that is another idea. But gettin speakers for 60 dollars when they retail for 200? That is a steal.

ThatHideousStrength · 01-09-2006, 10:02 AM

so 39 bucks for 2?

Hubcap · 01-09-2006, 10:09 AM

yes plus shipping and handling. came out to be around 60 dollars.

and I looked around for reviews before I bought them and lots of people gave them good reviews.

These go on sale pretty often, but they are a good deal. They also blow out the tower speakers pretty often as well.

I kind of want them, but have no use, and already own three pairs of bookshelves...

Hubcap · 01-09-2006, 07:08 PM

yea they are pretty good deal huh? I dont really need them but I could always use them for that price.

super_Chris · 01-10-2006, 06:47 PM

I wonder if Fry's has that deal at their stores?

Da Lucky 1 · 01-10-2006, 06:52 PM

damn, i could really go for a pair of these.

Hubcap · 01-11-2006, 10:23 AM

i just recieved them today, amazing speed on the processing. They look and sound great. Right now I have them hooked up to my computer, but will try them out on my theater later. Great Buy imo.

randomtask · 01-11-2006, 05:50 PM

Powered by what?

I have a klipsch pro media 5.1 so i replaced the 2 front satelites. Its said to have a 500 watt BASH amp and have found it sounds pretty good. Im sure if I hooked it up to a seperate amp it would be ever better, which I actually am looking into buying and running an optical line into my sb audigy. Just not sure how much I wanna spend on that.
