tipstir's Full Review: AudioSource LS300/LS400 Main / Stereo Speaker
AudioSource LS300, 2-way front and rear satellite speakers are better suited for your home surround if you have a tight area to work with such as a master bedroom or small living room.

I had purchased these speakers in one package that AudioSource markets as System 380 which was only $79.00 at Costco. As for this review I am only going to cover what's my experience with the LS300. There will be some comments to System 380 package at the end of this review:

Out of the box experience:

Setup Sheet and manual
Pair of LS300 Satellite Speakers
Pair of U-Shaped brackets for wall mounting
Mounting Screws for all type of surfaces
Rubber Stoppers

These speakers are not magnetically shielded so you're better off attaching them to the wall or 4 feet away from your TV.

No speaker wire (tip 16 gauge wire works well)

Excellent Five-way binding post can handle any type of connectors

(Note: AudioSource Recommends 14 gauge wire, but I find 16 gauge works better up to 100 watts)

Specs:

100 watts
8 ohms
80 Hz - 20 KHz
Connector: Binding Post in, spring-loaded, banana plugs

Tweeter: 3/4" type: polycarbonate dome
Woofer: 4" type: polypropylene
Weight: Less than 5 lbs

Color: Black (also available in white)
Case: Plastic, but very durable
Grill: Cover Metal (and see through)can't be removed
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 5.5"
Bass Reflex Port: None (subwoofer would be needed)

Design: Very good modern look

How do they sound?

Imaging is very bright
Highs are excellent
No Bass without subwoofer

Analog Stereo Sound
FM Stereo - Very Good!
Hi-Fi VCR - Very Good!
Digital Cable Analog Stereo Sound - Very Good!

Digital Stereo Sound
DVD Player - Excellent
DTS - Excellent!
Dolby Digital - Excellent!
Dolby Pro Logic - Very Good!

LS 300 are very versatile satellite speakers for any home theater system you have.
