Notes

Although the system's total power of 100W may seem weak as compared to the 400W of the Klipsch ProMedia speakers, the Crossfire can reach volumes that are almost as loud as Klipsch; in other words, it'll easy reach volumes which may cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure. This is due in part to the clean design of the efficient Audax drivers.

The wide frequency response for the amplifier is accurate, however VideoLogic does not offer frequency response for the speakers. I was able to hear a clean 20kHz test tone produced by Cool Edit. This is actually quite impressive as overtones are heard on the Klipsch Promedia at that frequency. The only thing missing from the Crossfires (which is available on the other Sirocco models) is the integrated bass/treble "attitude" adjustment.
