Amazon.com Product Description
KLH's six-piece home theater speaker set is a compact and affordable ticket to enjoying multichannel surround sound from your favorite movies. Best when used in conjunction with a Dolby Digital- and DTS-decoding surround receiver, the KLH HT-9900 handles 10 to 100 watts per channel and--at 8 ohms/88 dB sensitivity--will work nicely with almost any receiver.

Speakers
The five central speakers in the HT-9900 consist of four identical satellites (left, right, front, and rear) and a slightly larger center channel speaker (since 70 percent of a movie's soundtrack is dialogue or center focused).

The two-way satellites each use a single 4-inch woofer and a 0.625-inch piezoelectric tweeter; the center channel uses dual 4.25-inch woofers and a matching tweeter. All speakers are magnetically shielded, so they won't induce image distortion now matter how close you set them to your TV (center channels often rest atop the set).

With the satellites, it's safe to use amplifiers pumping up to 100 watts per channel when the sats are wired through the subwoofer (see the enclosed hookup manual). Use a more conservative 60-watts-per-channel receiver if you'll be feeding them speaker-level signals directly from the receiver's back panel.

The satellites measure 8.625 by 5.125 by 5.5 inches; the center-channel speaker measures 5.25 by 17.25 by 5.5 inches.

Subwoofer
The sub uses dual 5.25-inch woofers, which help push bass down to 50 Hz--impressively deep for the sub's diminutive size. A low-pass filter rolls the top end of the sub's frequency response at the low end of the satellites' range, ensuring seamless integration between them. The subwoofer measures 11.25 by 7.625 by 17.125 inches.

The system includes speaker wire and is covered under a one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.
