Good product and service. Exactly what I was looking for.

Pros: My old bookshelves were being over-powered by the center speaker. These round out the system well, which Is just what I wanted them to do. And they are MUCH better that my previous speakers when listening to music. They are also attractive. The Klipsch copper-colored cone is so cool, it's almost a shame to cover it up. As always, Newegg is amazingly prompt with their shipping. I love the fact that I can begin tracking my shipment's location almost immediately. Great company, with a great system.
Cons: Mine are used in a bedroom. I honestly don't know how they would to if trying to fill a great room. But for my purposes, no negatives at all.
Overall Review: I will probably buy another pair when I outfit the guest bedroom. So, yes, I would recommend them to others.
I actually love this thing

Pros: I wanted a simple amp for my shop, to drive a pair of Polk outdoor speakers. The media player and remote were just a bonus. It works much better than I expected. I dropped by today to order another, and I don't know if they have a new model, but this one shows no longer available. If they ever get them back in stock, it's an easy buy.
Overall Review: Like I said in the "pro" section, i would not only recommend it, I wanted to buy a second one.
Good speakers for their class

Pros: I was doing a remodel, and just got these unboxed and hooked up. They're acceptable for surround without being set up, but they're actually excellent for music.
Cons: Out of the box, they're a little bass-heavy, but I'm confident that once I set up through MCACC, I will get the most out of them.
Overall Review: They fill a pretty large room well, and the bass response is actually great for music. Solid feeling and attractive. As always, Newegg is always very prompt with their shipping. I gave them a 4 rating, just because we aren't supposed to talk about price. But in their category, I wouldn't have any problem giving them a 5. I've had numerous floor standing speakers in that range that were not as good as these sounded out of the box. I feel confident that they will fit in much better once properly set up.
Great product, and great service

Pros: This is the third one of these subs I have purchased. This one was a gift for a relative. I can't imagine how you could beat it within its price range. We were watching a movie a couple of nights ago that had some incredible low-range sound effects. Our daughter came downstairs to ask us to turn it down. The overall volume wasn't that high - it was just the vibration that was getting to her upstairs. Her bedroom is on the north side of the house, and the sub is on the south wall. I'm not one that wants to rattle the walls. But this sub is capable of doing a pretty good job of that.
Cons: None, for my purposes. If you want to make the furniture bounce, you know who you are and buy accordingly.
Overall Review: As always, Newegg was incredibly prompt with shipping.
Works just like it is supposed to

Pros: What can you say? A product like this either works or it doesn't. This one does what it is supposed to do. I had problems with coverage in the back part of our house. I couldn't use my phone app to control the receiver that drives patio speakers. That may not sound like a big deal, until it buffers in volume commands, and suddenly you have 100% volume blasting during a party. After installing this extender, I have good seamless coverage in the house.
Cons: I had a small bit of trouble getting it configured, because I didn't understand the theory of how it operates. As is often the case, the directions aren't as clear as they might be. But it was far from a configuration nightmare, like some other products I have purchased. I'll take the review from 5 eggs down to 4 eggs, just because it wasn't the sort of thing I might have gotten right the first time, just by being lucky. And I wouldn't have known what search to use to find the answer, until I had seen it fail the first time. Not enough to say, "Don't buy the product," but enough that I can't give it a 5, even though it works fine.
Easy to install, and easy to recommend

Pros: I am not a fan of in-wall or -ceiling speakers as a rule, but I had no other option. I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality, and it completed the surround sound in the room very nicely. The thing I liked the most was the easy mounting hardware that is built into the speakers. No fumbling with backing plates, or screws falling. I had been putting off ordering ceiling speakers, just because I was dreading the installation. It turned out to be a breeze. The one important thing is to buy a drywall saw (about $8), which made cutting the circular hole a breeze. The installation literally took me just a few minutes each. The low-profile grille gives the installation a clean, professional look. As I said, it's not ideal to have surround speakers in the ceiling, but I used the microphone auto-setup on my receiver to make the surround settings, and the end result is actually much better than I had hoped for. I set them up as "large", just to test, and they produced more low-range than I would want from a surround speaker. Set up as "small", they are perfect. But if you are looking for a little low-range punch from a ceiling speaker, I think they would give you that. The speakers were well packed, and Newegg always delivers right on time.
Cons: I honestly don't have anything to list as a negative for this product or the installation.
Overall Review: I am very happy with my selection, and I would absolutely recommend these speakers.

Very Responsive When A Mistake Was Made
A mistake was made in shipping. I contacted the seller, and they responded quickly. They were very friendly, and offered to refund or re-ship. I wanted the product, so I asked for them to re-ship. They handled it immediately and I received the corrected order quickly. Mistakes happen, and I try not to get too upset. What sets a vendor apart is how they deal with problems when they happen. This vendor was very responsive and made things right very quickly. I wish everyone I buy from online would be as helpful.
One of the few companies that always delivers
Customer service is a dying art. NewEgg is one of the few companies that I deal with who always delivers exactly what they promise.
