Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After two seasons of torturing myself with a cheap set of "Dual" outdoor speakers I could take no more. First I searched Amazon and read many reviews on lots of different brands. Took notes on model numbers,etc so hopefully I could hear some at my local audio stores before purchasing. I was primarily interested in a set of "Polk Audio's" for around $159.00, but I made the mistake of purchasing the "Dual's" without hearing them first. I figured it will get the sound out there and be good enough, boy was I wrong! So this time I wanted to hear them before purchasing. So off to Best Buys I went to hear the "Polks" and check out the other brands they had. Well, they had about a half dozen different sets starting at around $100.00 a pair on up. I really did not want to spend more than $200.00. Truthfully I listened to all of the brands (including the "Polk's")they had and I wasn't impressed much. They all sounded about the same, tinty with very little bass and not that much better than the "Dual's" I already had. Until... I pressed the button for the "Klipsch" KHO-7's! Within seconds I was hooked! These speakers had excellent bass for there size! They seemed much more efficient(louder) at the same volume than the other brands. They sounded as good as a decent set of indoor speakers. Needless to say I was impressed with the sound quality. Then, I looked at the price, Best Buy had them on sale for $319.00 a pair, regularly $349.00. This was much more than I wanted to spend. So I kept switching back to the "Polk's" trying to convince myself they were good enough, but every time I heard the Klipsch there really was no comparison to me. They just sounded that much better. So, I wrote down the model number to hopefully purchase them on Amazon at a better price. Unfortunately, at that time, Amazon did not carry this model of Klipsch. So, back to Best Buy I went, bit the bullet and purchased them for $319.00. I have absolutely no regrets and let me say this. Every time I play these speakers I thank myself for not compromising and purchasing something cheaper. The speakers include the mounting brackets and are very easy to install. You can angle them about 180 degrees with the thumb screws. I prefer to take mine down and bring them in for the winter to prolong there life. I would recommend using a good quality 14 or 12 gauge copper speaker wire. My KHO-7's are hooked up to a vintage Sansui 9090DB pushing 125 watts RMS @ 8 ohms per channel. The type of music I most listen to is Rock from the 60's thru the early 90's, mostly eighty's hair band stuff,etc. I don't think you could find a better sounding set of outdoor speakers in this price range. I like these "Klipsch KHO-7's" so much I plan to purchase another set next spring for the other side of the house. If music means more to you than just something in the "background". Do yourself a favor and check out the sound of these speakers before you purchase anything. I think you will agree they are well worth the price.
