People should be jumping at these!
I made a last minute decision to fore go the $500 DJ for a pair of these Klipsch AW-650 speakers & I connected these to a new Yamaha RX-V663. By using a Yamaha YDS-10 Ipod dock (w/an ipod of course) I was able to play party music which our party goers gave rave reviews for its sound! People kept asking me about the brand of speakers. I love these speakers! Highs, Mids, Lows, all sounded great. I would think that if you wanted window pane rattling bass, you would have to add the outdoor subwoofer. HOWEVER, the bass was clearly heard to all. These are well worth the money! You can’t go wrong. Oh by the way, I have a huge yard that easily accommodated 10 six ft round tables and a serving area for the caterer.
No Bass
I’m a adult male who has been around stereos and speakers since the late 60’s and presently own 3 systems. I have always said I would never buy speakers without hearing them. I broke my rule and purchased the Klipsch AW-650’s, based on research and reviews, and am really regretting it. I can’t say they sound bad on the contrary they are really clear and crisp but they seem to have no bass. Even adding bass doesn’t help. They just can’t reproduce much bass. If you don’t want to add some subs to your pair of $500+ speakers I would look at other alternatives. I suggest listen before you buy these speakers.
