Magnetic Flux Tube construction and special cable windings for natural music reproduction. Impressive clarity, bass response and dynamic range in a compact design. Special LPE insulation reduces signal loss and distortion. Paintable Navajo white jacket matches all interiors.

Solid Speaker Cable
on September 25, 2012
Posted by: DougUWS
from New Albany, OH
Solid speaker cable for the money. Flexible cable that is easy to install. I recommend this cable to anyone for any speaker application from basic home theater use to high end speaker systems. For higher end systems, I recommend investing in spades or banana connectors for better connectivity. Just make sure the cable lengths are the same for the front speakers even if one is farther away from the amp than the other. If the cables are not the same length, the speakers will be slightly out of phase reducing the stereo imagery.
What's great about it: Quality for the price
What's not so great: No connectors
I would recommend this to a friend!

You can pay more but, you will not get more

I have very limited space in my apartment. I only have enough room for bookshelf speakers. I searched a long time before I found these units. They sound better than many floor standing speakers that I have heard. These are the best book shelf speakers on the market at any price. Check them out for yourself in Best Buy. They sound deeper and richer than the other B&W book shelf speakers that are twice the price. They bring out the life in the music, especially with vinyl. If you have the ability to bi-amp these speaks, do so. It will clear up the mid range, they will sound less muddy.
What's great about it: Fantastic Sound for the price
What's not so great: Nothing

Stage 1 AC Noise Filter - Nice addtion
on October 12, 2011
Posted by: DougUWS
from New York, NY
I needed a new power strip for my entertainment center. I was running out of outlets. Found this unit at Best Buy. What sold me was the Stage 1 AC noise filter. I have a turntable and pre-amp. This significantly quieted my system. The green power feature is nice too. Noise filters can be pricy. This is a nice unit for the money.
What's great about it: Stage 1 AC noise filter
What's not so great: Nothing.

Bad pressing
By Abby6bass
Album artwork is very cool at a cost to sound quality... There are numerous snaps and pops. I know this is normal based on it being an LP... But have purchased many new ones with no pops... Way, way, too many.

I have the same problem. It is a picture disk. It should state that somewhere in the description. The pops come from the needled rising and falling over the artwork between the vinyl and the grooves. All picture disks are noisier than a non-picture disk version. I still enjoy the record but agree with your assessment.
