I have a set of klipsch surround speakers for my entertainment system, they are great. They are about 10 years old and still sound just as good as any that I have heard. I think they are by far the best for the money.....

my best friends dad still has his set of altec santiago's.... As a kid they sat in the living room as plant stands... I hooked him up with a speaker replair place that rebuilt them for him.... I got to use them a couple of times for a couple of DJ events at my church when i was a kid.
About the same time i aquired a pair of JBL L100's and had the mids and tweeters rebuilt.
To this day they are my front channel of my Home theater. most everyone that comes over and watches a film asks why i dont have a sub... till we turn on the movies..... 2 12" are better than one
last year the same friend brought his refrance mike and pink noise generator over so we could determine exactly how good my HT did sound.
In test mode i was within %3 of flat at normal listening level. We put the ear plugs in and turned up my weenie harmon karden AVR35...108db

I'm not an audiophile, but dabbled in it years ago through my college room mate who had Dahlquist speakers, B&O turn table, Nakamichi tape deck and the rest Carver. I suspect it was a bit wasted on me. (It was also wasted on out tiny room (cell) at the Citadel.
I have an uncle, who I would describe as a classical music lover rather than an audiophile, who had Klipsch speakers and a Macintosh system for years. He had the money to get anything he wanted and that's what he got and kept. And when I say he was a classic music llover, it was a serious thing. He had whole walls of CDs and albums. Several record lables sent him stuff for review before it was released. His health is declining rapidly, but I think he still has and uses the Klipsch speakers.
