KLH Model Five

Outstanding review!

I got a pair of those early in the year, and I love 'em!!!! Even at the increased price, they are a steal.... I watch YouTube vids on my big TV, so I'll look for your review on there! 

Youtube speaker review videos without actual soundbites (recording/playback of the speakers) are meaningless to me.

I consider them as "talking head" reviews, and again they are meaningless to me.

The many, many, many Youtube reviews of speakers that I'm familiar with that allow one to actually "listen" to the speaker do offer some insight (to me).

I agree with DeKay that a little audition would have been nice, even though it's silly over computer speakers.

Listen to a Bluetooth speaker. That’s the same sound as listening to any speaker through YouTube. 

I don't record sound because it has nothing to do with reality. People will listen to the sound of their setups, speakers or headphones, not the ones in the recording. The microphone will record the sounds of the room, then it will be converted from analog to digital and back several times on different components, and then someone will turn it on on their computer or TV. It is very harmful to draw conclusions about the sound of components in this way. You should be able to judge the sound only when you are directly in front of the speakers you choose, not by YT recordings.

Amen. 

If Danny sez they're okay, that's a good sign. I give his opinion weight over most since he's qualified to make techie claims. His reveals of what's in top speakers(typically cheap parts) shows the reality of audiophoolery.

Be a little difficult to give an honest review when the friendly customer who was nice enough to drag his speakers in to be tested is sitting right there watching you! He did his best though. I liked the ’if you like that sort of thing" with a slight ducking of the head and shrug of his shoulders.

If you haven’t been taught to listen by Danny, your not qualified to talk about speakers. Geez, what an arrogant little man. 

You're.

The KLH's are ok, but they aren't my choice at this price.

What are your choices at that price?

I really need to know how they sound through my laptop speakers.  *eyeroll*
