The Klipsch speakers are rated:

Frequency response: 31Hz - 20kHz


And if you think that means anything you're an even bigger idiot than I
thought. It's marketing fluff.


Now you've stooped to name calling... you must be proud.

Power Handling: Satellites: 55 watts/channel @ ≈‚¬ 1% THD, 200Hz - 1KHz
Subwoofer: 50 watts @ ≈‚¬ 7% THD, 40 - 100 Hz


1% and 7% distortion !

Jesus wept !

I have designed a *600 watt* power amp with distortion below 0.001% midband. I
consider 0.1% distortion to be pretty poor these days never mind distortion
percentages in single digit numbers..


In terms of *computer speakers*? Please...

I thought 7% seemed like a high number too, but then I realized it's for
the *sub*, which is in a *vented* enclosure.

I don't notice distortion from the satelites. But that's me.
