I'm impressed with the quality and the ease of use. I showed it to my mechanic, he thought he might purchase one, also. He mentioned it analyzes some autos his professional analyzer won't do, even with all of the updates!

My long-term audio background made me skeptical of this item, but for the price, I thought I'd give it a try.  I'm very glad I did.  Certainly, it is not for a critical listening requirement, but for use in a modest two-channel home theater system I am putting together for my sweetheart, I can't see how it can be beaten.  The inputs make it extremely versatile.  An arrangement I'd never seen before allows connecting  speaker output wiring from an outboard two-channel amplifier.  That done,  the unit's electronics pick up the low frequency signal from that amp, and send it to the subwoofer (really and strictly, woofer) amp.  Separate outputs connections from the unit allow attachment of the wiring for the two satellite speakers (in this case, a set of Dayton Audio units).  The gain and frequency controls on the unit are very effective.  Ultimately, the volume of sound is controlled by the amplifier feeding output to the woofer unit.  The whole thing works flawlessly.  Insofar as the sound itself - impressive!  The 8" woofer does a fine job on the low end.  The enclosure design is evidently an acoustic suspension (sealed) type, which (in my opinion, anyway) gives more accurate bass than others, such as bass reflex (ported) designs.  The amplifier is very robust, and at normal listening levels, never seems to strain in driving the speaker.  Admittedly, the unit will not produce bone-crushing rumble at 120 db levels from movie tracks.  For that, check out units having that capability - and, check the price that goes with them.  For the capability this item has, and the price paid, I can't see how it can be beaten.  I'm sure my sweetheart will be pleased when she hears the music and soudtracks this will bring to life, as compared with the basic
speakers in her large-screen TV.  Highly recommended!

This laptop is awesome! The performance is great for a Pentium processor- that is, after a few tweaks. Once I had it set up the way I wanted it, I fell in love with it! The design is eye catching and really attractive. Very premium looking. I highly recommend this laptop for its great value!

TIPS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE:
- Install CCleaner and use regularly
- Delete all Dell preloaded software
- Delete unnecessary apps
- Update to the latest Windows

Once you do all that, you'll see how great it actually runs!

Very impressive performance for the price. In my classroom at school I have a pair of Audioengine A5+ speakers with the A8 subwoofer which fill a large room full of students very nicely. For a small (12ft x 12ft) room at home I decided that a pair of the A5+ speakers would do the job on their own. They are good (and go down to around 50 Hz), but I really felt they needed some filling in at the bottom end. I couldn't justify an expensive unit like the A8 for such a small space but I didn't want to ruin good music with something 'cheap' (boomy or mushy). Based on reviews I got the Dayton Sub-800, and I'm glad I did.

On the minus side it didn't come with any connecting cables. I have a bag of spare cables left over from other systems but for some users this might be a frustration, which is why I've given it 4 instead of 5 stars.

On the plus side: I plugged everything in, set crossover to 80 Hz and gain to halfway, powered up, started a liquid dubstep mix..... Huh? Couldn't hear the sub! Confusion for a second or two until I tried turning the gain up and things got boomy, turned the gain down and the bass disappeared. I hadn't expected this level of quality - when properly set it merges with the regular speakers so nicely you can't hear it as a separate unit but you get a richer sound down to a much lower frequency. Simply outstanding at the price.

ps: two things you might want to note:
1)  Don't pass judgement until you've played it for a few hours. It seemed to me that like high end systems it took a little while to loosen up.
2) Even though it is very impressive at the price, don't expect it to do everything that high end systems will do. It's only rated down to 40 Hz so you'll miss out a bit on those bone-tingling infra-frequencies.

I upgraded my entire HT system from decent JBLs/Yamaha YST sub to Athena mix-n-match speakers and this sub (incidentally, the Amazon picture is incorrect - it shows the newer, somewhat inferior downward firing AS-P4000!). (update: Yes - they've now fixed the images as requested - this set of pictures IS of the AS-P400; thanks Amazon. Rest assured that the wooden enclosure looks very rich/dark and is solid - even though the photographs no longer reflect that)

I was absolutely blown away by how much more effective the Athena is than the Yamaha sub, despite having VERY similar ratings. It moves tonnes of air (almost literally!) and has great sensitivity. You no longer have to miss the low (intensity and frequency) rumbles and effect sounds in the background sounds or theme during intense dialog. It is shocking how much more immersive your experience will be by adding this almost-cheap sub!

Setup is easy, I'm using a single RCA cable for pre-amplified LFE signal, because using the sub's internal crossover is moot now that I can set it's cutoff specifically for the Athena AS-B1's that are my front speakers.

Truly a great value!

Ignore the other reviewer's sour experience. Almost any respectable manufacturer will only warranty items sold ONLY through authorized vendors. And these Athenas are priced so well that there is almost NO point skimping a few pennies to buy from anyone but authorized sellers.

I first ordered 2 units and then added a 3rd because I was impressed with the quality construction and performance.

The units performed right out of the box.  The power handling corresponded to specifications as did the low range for this series bank of tweeters, providing output at 3000Hz and above.

The range is listed as 4kHz to 27kHz with maximum/peak power input of 300W, intermittent.  The continuous RMS power handling capacity is rated at 150W.

The carpeted construction is sturdy and pleasing to the eye and to touch.  The "Quick Connect" speaker terminals are spring-loaded and sturdy and easily accept 14-gauge unshielded wire securely and reliably. I estimate that they will accommodate heavier gauge wire as well.

The 8 input impedance matched the output impedance of the amplifier in bridged, single-channel mode resulting in maximum acoustic power transfer.

They could be deployed in pairs, with each unit driven by separate amplifier output channels

There is a useful and informative Owner's Manual which can be downloaded from the PYLE web site where the product also can be registered. .

In addition to the PYLE PAHT4, the product line also includes the PAHT6 and the PAHT9.which also may meet your needs.

Bottom Line: These units perform as specified.  The price over performance ratio is outstanding and unbeatable at twice the price.  I am very satisfied and pleased with these quality units.

Great value and performance, but take care that if you have a 3 year old machine, it might not have the hardware to give it the full performance

This is an impressive little!  Not without limitations, but for the price I can't complain.  I highly recommend changing out the OEM Celestion for an after market model.  Although an actual Celestion, it is a cheap OEM version with low grade cone and small magnet.  For $30 you can turn this into an exceptional amp!  Due to the surface mount technology of the build there is little else in owner mods you can do.  Replacing the speaker not only improved tone but also made it even louder!  For a bedroom blaster you can't beat this amp!

Great speakers for the price. In fact, probably the best powered speakers you can get at this price point. What a shame that so few people seem to know about what an exceptional value these speakers are. Sadly almost no reviews out on the Internet about these gems. Jamo has failed miserably in marketing these things.

I was impressed with how well designed the speakers are with an integrated amp in the left speaker that in turn connects to the right passive speaker via standard supplied speaker wire. This setup is perfect for connection to a computer or TV without anything else needed. Amazingly at this price they are unexpectedly feature rich. There are a total of four inputs that can switched remotely via the small remote control. Two inputs are analog connections (One RCA pair and one mini-stereo jack) and two are digital TOSLINK optical connections. There is a subwoofer out connection so you can augment the bottom end, which is quite helpful given the limits of what bass you can produce from a speaker of this size.  Finally there is a USB power port that can be used to operate ancillary devices such as a wireless receiver without an extra tangles of wires.

The high gloss plastic case with rounded corners is quite stylish and combined with the recessed cloth grill in front has an attractive aesthetic that looks more expensive than it is by far. The weight of each unit feels substantial and suggests solid construction and components throughout. Pretty much before listening to the speakers there were no disappointments.

My goal of getting these speakers was to hook them up to a TV in a guest room so I did not set my expectations very high as I figured just about anything would be better than the built-in TV speakers. To evaluate their performance for this review I started by hooking them up to my computer which offered an excellent near-field listening environment. These speakers were up against some stiff competition and a tough critical look as my normal computer setup consists of much higher end Audioengine A5+ powered speakers ($469) together with dual Audioengine S8 subwoofers ($349/EA) that are beyond delightful. Until recently I thought I could not do any better in sound quality on my computer but that all changed when I got my hands on a Vanatoo Transparent One ($549). Wow! Wow! Wow! Anyway the point is these $150 Jamos were going up against competition nearly four times their cost. So to be fair I dusted off a set of Logitech Z503 speakers ($75) which are some of the best mass produced consumer grade multi-media speakers.

After a lots of listening with a range of music I can say without hesitation that the difference between the Logitechs and the Jamo was more than day-and-night. For double the price the difference in sound performance was stunning and they seemed in an entire different world in terms of style and quality. It was simply no match.

Surprisingly once I compared the Jamos to the higher end Audioengines and Vanatoos it was a closer battle that required paying attention to much more subtle details to figure out why the Jamos did not create the same sonic experience. Where the Jamos sounded good the Audioengines would mesmerize you.  The Jamos presented a wide soundstage but the Vanatoos simply immersed you in an envelope of sound that was stunning. Adding a single Audioengine S8 subwoofer to the Jamo kicked it up to a level that was impressive yet still lacking significantly from the potential to greatness.

In the right near field setup with discerning audiophile tastes the Jamos would disappoint for sure. Yet for many other situations, such as TV speakers across the room, where the chance of being enough in a sweet spot to appreciate what a high end speaker can do would probably be a waste of money and where the Jamo is a great solution. It also a great solution for anyone who is budget constrained or thinks it is nothing short of ridicules to spend nearly as much money on speakers as the TV or computer you end up hooking them to.

These IP network cameras are making waves lately! They are outstanding, at a price point thats breaking barriers.
The IPC-HFW3200S is an HD 1080P outdoor bullet camera that uses the Sony Exmor chip to provide sharp vivid color images during the day. At night, the built in IR illuminators work well in combination with the sensors good low light capabilities as well as the cameras noise reduction to produce very good clean night images in area with little to no light.

These cameras are extremely small and easy to mount, simple hook-up with a single RJ45 cable with power supplied by POE. I've used them with BlueIris software and with a number of other NVR applications (they are ONVIF compatible). I think what amazes me the most is the clarity and at 1080p HD!

The web interface is very good.

I purchased and installed 10 of these at my home - all POE. I love the simple connectivity.

You can't go wrong with these cameras at this pricing level!
