I replaced a smaller center channel speaker in my home theater with a Polk. I was able to stop using close captioning after installing the Polk center channel speaker. It greatly improved the clarity of my system. So after that I added the bookshelf speakers as replacements for my left & right front speakers. I'm very happy with them. If you use these as part of a home theater system I would advise the use of a subwoofer. That way you get lots of bass without having to use high volume.

These are great! Speakers, but they are not good for loud sound music. They are perfect for Home Theater Systems, but if you are gonna use the for. Your music just don't blast them, cause your receiver, may not can handle the power of your Speakers. I use my TSi-100 for only my Home Theater system

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

Well this truly is a very important point/question/answer. I live in a town house and I need speakers that wont be heard by neighbors, this is the true audiophile's lifestyle problem. What you have said about the sound being heard more in the listening room than in the entire house would actually be a good marketing argument for Martin Logan to promote this speakers. Ill test this out. Thanks guys.

Bass is great I have a 100 watt 8" Polk connected to mine. I don't turn mine up that loud, remember this is not a real expensive unit . If you want perfection spend more money.

And How! I have to keep it at a fairly low volume to listen comfortably at the computer which means no distortion and great sound. I couldn't stay in the living room if I turned it way up! Nice inexpensive speakers!

I have small in wall speakers in my house. They sound great, but I also Have a zone2 with old yamaha floor speakers that sound equaly good. Get the best you can afford. I also have an Epik 2x15 empire sub. Best purchase in my life. expensive but well worth it.

You could purchase a matching tower to your left and right front channel speakersI have not noticed a tinny sound. But my room is smaller and I do not crank the volumeYou could also try a Polk or Klipsh(disclosure theypurchased Jamo and now mfg. that brand and line)Those would be at the lower range of cost between 2 and 3 hundredI still think matching is you best option

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

I have two on my deck and they sound good. I do get pretty good volume out of them and I don't have the greatest receiver. To be truthful with you, I hooked them up for a Labor Day party so they haven't been used much. I bought two pair but only one set is hooked up right now. My son does a lot of installing of speakers, TV's, and security systems and he thought they were a pretty good speaker for the money. I hope this helps.

I don't use devices which allow my making that comparison, however just listening, I'm satisfied. The frequency response seems flat with no noticeable distortion. I don't feel I'm compromising sound for convenience.

These headphones have a flat frequency response across the audio spectrum, which is why I purchased them. Music as it was recorded. If you are trying to emphasize the lower frequencies I would try something else.

Same as Derek's answer. I just would like to add that these speakers hit a very good range of highs and lows for the price. Very worthwhile if you need something cheap yet good quality sound.

Nope, sorry! You get adequate sound reproduction without much power behind it. I would suggest that because the speakers are of, ah, "minimal quality" the base probably isn't too deep. For what it's worth, I haven't been bothered by the base on any of my mp3 songs. Hope that helps!

Dieckmann, you have not mentioned what watt are you speakers. i have the same problem too but my speakers are like 40W. i am usuing my old speakers till i get a deal on a new 80-100W speakers.so maybe if you upgrade the speaker is you have low Watt ones you will get good sound at 30-40 level.hope this helps

That's an excellent question. I wish I knew its answer, too. One thing is clear to me, these speakers have decent sound for the price. But, if you love your bass, don't expect much from their low frequencies. If you like bright &#128262; sound, these are the right speakers for you.
