Unhappy

Klipsch HD Theater 600 Home Theater System
Klipsch HD Theater 600 Home Theater System

Pros: Look nice. Bought in a combo deal that made the price of these $300.

Cons: I'm really unhappy with these, and I attribute that to already owning a KEF 5.1 set that I bought on sale for $200 (set with white satellites) that are vastly superior to these Klipsch. It's not so much the sound from the satellites, but the bass difference between the 2 is night and day, and they're both 200w subs. I feel like someone is abusing the Klipsch name for some nice profits and I got duped... These Klipsch need an MSRP of $350 max. Also be aware that you can't return these to Newegg; they are 30-day replacement only, so be extra sure these are what you want.

Perfect

Pros: Finally bios fan controls that give you the ability to turn off fans and to set fan speeds anywhere in their operating range. Quietest powerful system ever.

Cons: none

Great

AZIO PRISM KB507 Black USB Keyboard With 7 Colorful Backlights

Pros: Working great. Backlight is not as dim as previous reviews led me to believe and perfect brightness at night. Keys press soft and quiet.

Cons: Keystroke travel is slightly longer than other low profile keyboards such as Logitech's backlit version.

Awesome

KEF KHT1005.2SE Home Audio Speaker System w/ White Satellite Speakers
KEF KHT1005.2SE Home Audio Speaker System w/ White Satellite Speakers

Pros: Paired these with a YAMAHA RX-V373BL so I paid under $400 for a home theater system, but it sounds like so much more. The mids and highs are crystal clear, but what blew me away was the base. My family and I live in a middle-class 2 story house and even standing on the second floor on the opposite side, that 8" sub makes you think your house is about to implode during an action scene in a movie, and I have the bass knob on the sub in the middle...

Cons: Center channel is the same shape as the rest of the channels so you can't place it in front of the TV. I have mine underneath sitting on the receiver instead.

Overall Review: I needed a second 5.1 system and really wanted to get another one of these sets while they're $200, but the shape of the center channel made me look around and I found a Klipsche set on sale with a dedicated center satellite, but cost me $100 more for the whole system. If you're on a budget, you won't find better speakers than these KEF.
