KLH AT2100i 400 Watt Amplified Television Home Audio System
Excellent Package for inferior sounding TVs or anyone w/a ipod,computer.laptop,compact cd player/mp3 player, etc
I picked up this package  for $180. It is an excellent sounding system. I am very impressed. It compliements my Sony 32 inch Wega Trinitron TV. The picture on my TV is great but the sound is lacking. What is great about this system is that it is self-amplified, meaning no need to connect to a reciever. <br /> <br />Please ignore the 400 watt rating <br /> <br />The rating that counts is the RMS rating. RMS watt is the continous loudness. The subwoofer's RMS is 65 watts and the left and right speakers are 35 watt.  <br /> <br />Setup: <br />Basically the setup is Plug and Play. Take the RCA cable and connect between the TV and subwoofer. Connect the speaker wire from the subwoofer to the speakers and basically your set. <br /> <br />PLEASE NOTE: DO NOT use the enclosed speaker wire. If you do you'll be sorry. Go out and pick up a small roll of 16 guage wire! Bite the bullet pay the $$.You will not be sorry. Using the enclosed speaker wire KLH provided, the sound become distorted at mid-to-high volume. With the 16 guage wire, the sound was much fuller and no distortion. <br /> <br /> <br />The package also include: <br />1) A docking station for your ipod. You take your ipod and stick it in the provided doc station. Then run the enclosed ipod cable from the doc station to a special ipod input on the back of the woofer. I don't have and ipod so I can review that feature. <br /> <br />2) Includes a a bunch of other cables you might need, a Y splitter cable to, etc <br /> <br />3) Speaker stands and wall mounts. I didn't mount the speakers but I used the stands. The speakers stands are heavy (Which is good) and very well built. They are a snap to setup. <br /> <br />4) A remote control to control the loudness of the speakers and subwoofer. <br /> <br />Performace: <br />My TV sounds a hell of a lot better. My living room measure 19 by 20 feet. The sound is awesome. The subwoofer fills the room with bass (you can adjust the volume). The left and right speakers have a dometweeter so dialouge sounds crisp. Movies and TV shows just seem to more engaging. <br /> <br />Aside from movies and TV, you can hook up your laptop, mp3 player, or compact disc player to the headphone jack input on the subwoofer. <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br />As long as you DON'T use the enclosed speaker wire and use 16 guage wire, you will be happy. This is an excellent 2.1 channel system for those of you who don't need a full blown home theatre but would like better sound that your TV cannot produce. <br />Overall, this package includes everything you need, for a great price.
