Thanks for coming to my TED Talk and I will see you next time!īTW if your computer came with a set of external speakers back in the day, were they listenable by any means at all? So I won't get into that.īut what I will say is what budget 2.1 systems would we have if Henry Kloss didn't make this piece of cake? No Logitech? More crappy Koss hard drivers? Nah.I'll take this over those any day, although it has a laughable model name so to speak.Īlright, that wraps it up for this thread. But that's not really my cup of tea since it's not actually surround sound, and the one I have does enough wonders for me. It's fun to useĬSW also had a version known as the FPS-1000, the Four-Point Surround. I'm sure many of you are imploring me to add an image, so here's one. But what do you expect for a small plastic 6"x 6-¾" x 9-¼" vented box the size of a singular Men's shoe? 8/10 would do again. So that further proves my point its a system worth trying, even though there's not much below 60Hz. It actually had a bit of low-end punch as opposed to the midbass boom of other such systems from different brands. Could just be the wall wart (It wasn't original to the system, anyway). Long story short it performed pretty well for the most part, with some very minor (but non-damaging) clipping. I remember using it to watch a Netflix film one time. It's definitely nowhere near outstanding by any means, but Kloss put in the effort to make it sound as decent without as much a suggestion to its size, while still being an affordable product. Took it home with me and played with it for a few.Īnd I will say, it is a decent little system. $17.99, as in: sticker said it tested and works. I bought it for the reasonable price of U.S. Why would he not? He's a generous, slender yet tall being. So I insisted to him that he let me get it, cause it was made by Henry Kloss and blah blah blah. My father thought it looked like a piece of crap, but I knew in the back of my mind at the time that it would be decent, and it was indeed a piece of nostalgic equipment. Not as a hand-me-down, but I found it at my Humane Society second hand store (ReTails) in February of 2019. Now I was born in, y'know, after the nostalgic computer speaker systems took place. It was known as the Cambridge Soundworks "PCWorks" Computer speaker system. Kenny Kloss, as we know it, created the first compact speaker system for the computer that actually sounded half-decent. Of course, most of these nostalgic systems as we know today are crap compared to what can be produced today to a certain price point, but I believe there's one such system that manages to hold its own to this day. I'm sure a lot of you do.evolving from a pair of cheap plastic biege boxes with crappy little Television drivers in them and a funky lil' vent tube for absolutely wonderful bass response, to.well, still a crappy pair of Koss "Hard Drivers" but with an added seperate box of amplified midbass boom.and still a boring biege color.
