Product Description

From the Manufacturer

From the Manufacturer Comprised of three LCR (left, center, right) speakers and two satellites for surrounds, the Quintet™ SL incorporates over 60 years of class-leading research and development experience. In fact, it utilizes the same cutting-edge technology as our professional cinema products, which are chosen by leading cinema operators around the world.

Efficient and Powerful Cinema Sound

Complete your Quintet system by adding a sub such as the Klipsch SUB-10 (sold separately)

Each magnetically shielded LCR speaker employs dual 3.5-inch high-output woofers and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter mated to an exclusive Tractrix horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sound as well as produces more output using less energy. This high level of efficiency ensures that you don't need to spend a fortune on amplifiers to get powerful, cinema-quality sound out of your home theater. Each LCR speaker also offers easy keyhole wall mounting and includes a pedestal foot for free-standing use as a left/right main speaker or center channel.

Powerful Satellites for Any Living Environment

The two surround satellites are the same speakers featured in the Quintet™ Microsystem. Each utilizes a 3.5-inch long-throw woofer for remarkable detail and clarity and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter coupled to a MicroTractrix Horn for precise high frequencies. Additionally, these magnetically shielded satellites feature a swiveling pedestal foot for convenient wall mounting or bookshelf placement. Whatever your decor, the Quintet will integrate easily and stylishly.

Complete Your System with a Klipsch Subwoofer

In order to create the low-frequency power you can hear and feel, we recommend pairing the Quintet™ SL up with our Sub-12 subwoofer (sold separately). The Sub-12 reaches deeper and hits harder thanks to a 12-inch, down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH amplifier.

In addition to using premium components throughout, the Quintet™ SL has a modern, refined industrial design. While the LCRs and satellites feature a dark gray finish with medium gray accents, the Sub-12 is available in a black ash vinyl finish with titanium accents.

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.

Well OK, so you are reading this anyhow. This speaker package is simply amazing. I "downgraded" from full size (and space taking) Infinity Betas, to these wonderful noisemakers, and I am glad I did. If you want large room sound in a small space, these will more than do the trick. I paired mine with a Yamaha 10" sub, running through a Sony STR-800 (7.1). They really brought out Sony's Dynamic Sound Stage Technology(the main reason I bought this particular reciever). Watch Heat during the bank robbery, and you can hear the shells falling around you. If you are an audiophile and actually own a super audio CD format player (guilty), these speakers will make you feel like you are sitting with the band. They do not have a "tin" sound like most small speakers, and they do not need a very robust sub to cover lower end frequencies. I was very pleasantly suprised, because I thought I was downgrading, but apparently, someone forgot to tell Klipsch that small speakers are suppose to sound small too. A very key thing to remember though, IMAGING! If you set these speakers correctly, they will overwhelm you with quality you come to expect from Klipsch.

I first saw these speakers at Best Buy when I was searching for my home theater equipment, the demo they had there blew me away.
Naturally though the price on Amazon was cheaper than BB so I purchased them here.

The price is towards the high side for smaller Home Theater speakers but the quality of the product is worth it. Audio is very clear and I personally found they sound better with the grilles removed. Attaching the rear speakers to a wall is very easy with these (not sure about how well the front speakers would attach as I instead have my fronts on stands)

I recommend these speakers for room sizes over 15x15 foot preferably larger since they deliver lots of power. Also I recommend the Klipsch Sub-12 subwoofer to complete the package.
