OUTSTANDING! Grills Drivers Cabinets. Light scratch on 1 top (you have to look for it). Magnetically Shielded---6.5" Woofer + Aluminum Dome Tweeter in a Tractrix 90 by 60 degree Horn READ THE REVIEWS-- I just spent 15 minutes reading reviews on several audio sites as well as places that sold them. Most of the reviews, undet negatives about these speakers put--"NONE". Klipsch is known for a bright + crisp high end and their horn loaded tweeters definitely put out a sound thats "right there". These are tested at 54hz to 20,000hz frequency response which actually has more low end than many other smaller bookshelf speakers. The 6.5 inch woofers are tops in this size class. Awesome sound BUT if you want that bottom end, the 30hz to 80hz part, you need to add a subwoofer, especially for movie surround sound. These are still bookshelf size and the laws of physics apply, so they can not do the work of a large woofer and cabinet. (I have subs) The spec thats more important is sensitivity. This pair rates 93db for 1 watt input. Ill save you the math + formulas but many similar speakers rate 88db at 1 watt. That means when your amp is hooked up to this pair and then another brand at the exact same volume number (same watts output), this pair "sounds" about 50% louder than the other. 10 db doubles perceived sound. These are AMAZING front or main speakers for music and they were tested just to be sure. The manual is included (pdf) which is for the Synergy line (SB is for Synergy Bookshelf). Not that theres much to operating speakers BUT speaker placement is the biggest factor in their sound.
