These were Henry Kloss' attempt to market a sort of slightly updated version of the KLH Six (but they're actually closer in size and possibly performance to the 17 and I think some tests done by Akers confirmed this). Word out there is that they are good speakers. They didn't cost much new, maybe around $100-$150, which made them a good choice for new budget speakers. I've seen a pair but didn't have the salesman hook them up. Kind of wish I had, as I'm pretty familiar with the sound of the KLH 6 and 17. If they really do sound like either of those, they should be a nicely spent $25.
