Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have been a musician and a sound tech. for over 40 years so I'm dealing with trained ears that are not easily impressed. What I would like to share is that I am running a set of Klipsch Quintet SL 5.1 on my Home Theater System with the Klipsch Sub 12 Subwoofer powered by a Denon 989. This sytem is set up in your standard carpeted 12 X 16 living room with an 8 foot ceiling.
In short ... WOW. These surround speakers are reproducing everything from the softest whisper to the loudest explosion with great detail. Cymbals and horns are crisp, full and well defined in music passages. Frequency responce is extremely accurate as measured with a full spectrum real time SPL anaylzer. Spacial acuity is fantastic and very affective during action or SciFi movies. These speakers are a MUST HAVE if you're using the Klipsch Sub 12. This Thunder Box easily shakes the whole house and is beyond a doubt overkill. (The Sub 10 would have been more than adequate but I just had to have the 12. It's a guy thing) The Quintet SL's keep up with it very nicely to make a well balanced system.
Movies take on a new dimension when you hear the gun shot by the big screen then you hear the bullet whiz by your ear and ricochet off of the wall near your head. My wife hides behind her couch pillow during movies and the dog gets up and leaves the room. When it rains on TV you can almost smell it.
HOWEVER, These speakers are not a one trick pony. Music is served very well. Some surround speakers suffer when music is applied while these excel. From the softest flute, voice or violin to the loudest crash bang Rock, every note is there in detail.
When you handle these speakers you can FEEL the quality. I don't mean weight. They are an average weight for their size. I mean every aspect of a quality built item. AND ... They LOOK just as good as they sound in the room.
I would also like to address their limitations. As soon as I find some I'll get back with you. Don't "spend" money on brand X systems ... "Invest" in Klipsch. I did and I don't regret it.
