Synergy B-20

The Legendary Klipsch Story

In 1946, Paul W. Klipsch created Klipsch’s proprietary horn technology and sound principles that have been the driving force behind their highly acclaimed signature sound. Every speaker made – from the Professional Cinema speakers, used in half of all newly installed theaters, to the smallest bookshelf speaker – is horn-loaded to create the ultimate live-sound experience. Paul W. Klipsch believed four principles to be the foundation for great sound. Together, these four design principles—high efficiency with low distortion, controlled directivity, flat frequency response, and wide dynamic range—have and always will be the foundation for our stunningly powerful and precise sound. Fall in love with your favorite music and movies all over again.

Perfect Harmony

As the best value in high-performance entertainment, the Synergy Series is the perfect union of great sound and contemporary beauty.

Our exclusive Tractrix® Horn technology and aluminum tweeters deliver a powerful, dynamic sound that has long placed Synergy speakers at the forefront of affordable luxury. The Tractrix horns deliver a 90° x 60° coverage pattern and result in lifelike sound, energy-efficient output and reduced distortion, allowing you to experience the power, detail and emotion of all your favorite movies and music. Lightweight IMG woofer cones enhance the listening experience by creating tight and well-defined bass. A new Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for crisp, clear high frequencies. Not only sonically pleasing, the Synergy Series’ sleek black ash vinyl finish complements any home décor.

Synchronize

We don’t believe in cutting corners, which is why our Synergy Series speakers embody a no-compromise attitude and produce powerful, live-performance sound at such a modest price. Amongst the most efficient speakers in the world, the Synergy Series uncovers highs, mids and lows like you’ve never heard them before.

Designed to capture every detail from your favorite movies and music, Synergy speakers deliver everything from the softest whisper to the most intense action with unbelievable clarity. Center speakers, surround speakers and subwoofers engulf your senses, creating an unforgettable home theater experience.

Small Size, Big Impact

Great things do come in small packages, and it is evident when you see and hear the B-20. Small enough to fit just about anywhere and powerful enough to engulf a room with mind-blowing sound, the B-20 offers users the full-package sound experience.

The B-20 is complete with our proprietary Tractrix® Horn technology which produces a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power. And thanks to its sleek, contemporary black finish and gray accents, the speaker blends in seamlessly with your décor.

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy B-20 Premium 5.25-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)

I have had these about a year and mounted them at my bar area for use with the video system. I have heard others tell me how impressive they sound for their size, I agree. I would not use these as my main speakers for a home theatre but they are sure fine for a reinforcement for a computer or other area. For their size I have heard nothing better out there. You really can not go wrong. I bought them here at Amazon.

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy B-20 Premium 5.25-Inch Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Electronics)

I am using a pair of Klipsch B-20s as the speakers in a stereo system in my dorm room. It easily outperforms much larger floor standing speakers. The horn for the tweeter produces loud and clear high frequencies without producing excess treble. the tweeter and the woofer are perfectly balanced with each other even at high volumes. There is also a good amount of bass for a 5.25 inch woofer, but this does not eliminate the need for a subwoofer.
Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Amazing product... Klipsch lives up to its reputation again. Dont let the small size fool you, for testing I had one of these running next to my tower Klipsch Synergy F-10 Premium 6.5-Inch Floor-Standing Speaker and the B-20 was keeping up with the big brother very well. I saw parts of an action packed movie so I can notice the weakness somewhere but it just blew me away from its clarity, rich sounds, diversity and crisp quality.

I bought them as the rear surround speakers and with F-10s in the front, B-20s in the back are a perfect compliment to my Klipsch collection. I am finally experiencing the sound as its delivered in the Klipsch world. Match it with a nice receiver and you will want to take it to the grave with you.
