Product Description
Amazon.com Review
KLH designed its three-piece HT-9930 for people who already have a pair of stereo speakers and are ready to turn their systems into five-channel home theaters without spending a fortune. The HT-9930 brings together a center-channel and two rear-channel speakers for less than $100, a bargain any way you cut it.

The HT-9930's two unobtrusive satellite speakers come with keyhole-shaped slots for easy wall mounting. Removing the grilles reveals 4-inch woofers with small "whizzer" cones for added midrange detail as well as a 0.625-inch piezoelectric tweeter. The center channel sports an identical tweeter and is flanked by two similar but slightly larger (4.25-inch) woofers. The black enclosures are quite attractive and belie this system's modest price.

And, for the money, the HT-9930 sounds surprisingly good. Vocals, the most important element for a center-channel speaker to reproduce, sound well-balanced and natural. The center channel exhibits a slight--and, at this price, unavoidable--boxiness, however, and lacks the ability to render subtle aural details.

The satellites sound nearly identical to the center channel but are not quite as rich or full-bodied due to their single, small woofers. But they perform atmospheric surround-sound duty with ease, carving out a large, three-dimensional soundfield.

With the HT-9930, KLH has funneled its years of speaker-making experience into a remarkably good little add-on home-theater rig. If your budget is limited and you wish to dip your toes into 5- (or 5.1-) channel sound, it's hard to think of a better place to start. --Wayne Garcia

1 out of 5 stars Product Description was not clear.......2007-02-11

Item didn't describe clearly that it was just speaker without subweafer.
It was just a wastage of money

3 out of 5 stars Not so impressed, even with the price tag........2006-07-25

This kit is touted as a good 3-pc setup for those that have a home theatre amplifier but only the front two speakers. That's what I needed, and the price seemed too hard to believe. Despite an occasional poor review, I decided to give them a try.

I'm not an audiophile. But I do know what sounds good and what sounds bad. I've had rear and center speakers on this system before, so that's not the issue. The center speaker (used for most midrange including voice) leaves a lot to be desired. It's muffled, boxy. Misses that rich sound you should have from a speaker. Same goes for the rear speakers. Overall my system sounded better just using the 2 speakers I already had.

The price lures you in. But, if you're looking to fill the gap like I was, to turn a 2-speaker system into 5, do yourself the favor of a little more research and spending at least a little more money. It will be worth it in my opinion. I'll be returning my set within the week of writing this review.

4 out of 5 stars A steal for the price.......2006-03-08

If you are looking for a pair of low budget speakers, you have found it. The sound quality is good. It is not the top quality, but for the price, you won't be regret.

4 out of 5 stars Great set up........2006-01-17

I just bought these over the weekend. I found them for a VERY low price and could not pass them up. As everyone has said, the center is fantastic. I set up the surrounds as my main L/R because they were better than the ones I had. They sound great. Next weekend I'm going to get another set of KLH for the new main L/R. Don't let the low price fool ya. These are great speakers.

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the surrounds really don't have much bass at all, but it's not THAT big of a deal with a powered sub.

4 out of 5 stars Good surround speakers for the price.......2006-01-01

These are a very good buy for the price.
The center channel speaker does vocals very well, vocals sound very natural and it doesn't do a bad job with music either.
The surrounds are ok, they don't really have a very low frequency response.
If you want a good deal, this is for you.
