Product Description

The Klipsch B-2 Synergy bookshelf loudspeaker offers a winning combination of powerful bass with remarkable detail and high volumes with low distortion, making it a perfect delivery source for today's advanced digital music formats. The B-2 gets its superior sound by employing a 5.25" IMG woofer and 0.75" magnetically shielded, aluminum-dome tweeter coupled to an exclusive square Tractrix(R) Horn. It also features a rear-mounted port that increases efficiency and extends bass response. This rock-solid performer delivers all the "oomph" of movie explosions and intricate musical detail that is often associated with large floorstanding models. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, the contemporary look of the B-2 is two-fold. With its grille on, the B-2 offers a sense of elegance that nicely blends in with your home décor, but take the grille off and you get an aggressive and powerful statement that exudes extreme performance.

These speakers are amazing, I purchased two pair and coupled them with Omnimount Cosmic 16 speaker stands (These speaker stands fit the B-2's perfectly) and wow what a fantastic sound. Like a lot of users on this site I had a couple of pair's of Bose 301 speakers and thought I was experiencing high quality audio until these Badboys arrived. They are very sensitive speakers so even low powered Amp/receivers can play nice with these bookshelves. Put some Oomph into them though and that's when they really shine. Hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V663 AV Receiver as my Right and Left main surrounds, and my Right and Left Back surrounds (For full Blue-ray True HD) I was simply stunned by the audio quality. No matter what I threw at the B-2's, music, DVD, Live concert in HD, Sports in HD, they handled the audio flawlessly. I was using Sony floor standing speakers for my front right and front left channels and Bose 301's for the surround sound channels and although this setup sounded good it just always seemed to be missing something, sounded good but never great. I decided to hit some Audio Forums on the net and see what I could learn and the number one suggestion that I read over and over again from site to site was match your speaker set to at least the same manufacturer and for the absolute best audio match the speakers to the same series. Once my B-2's arrived and they sounded even better than my floor standing 150 w Sony's suffice it to say that the Bose and the Sony's were on eBay the next day. I took the forum users advice and for my Front channel speakers I purchased the floor standing big brother of the B-2's the F-2's and topped the system off with his cousin the C-2 Center channel speaker. I can't imagine another speaker set in this price range even coming close to the sound quality of these Klipsch Synergy III series matched speakers. What's amazing is that even at low volumes (Perfect for night time movie watching) theses speakers still deliver the full range of sound, where as my other speaker setup dropped the base completely off the map and made everything sound tinny. I do have a previously purchased JBL 12" 250 watt subwoofer hooked up to this speaker set but I'll be honest with you, you don't even need a subwoofer if your money is tight because the floor standing F-2's simply rattle the walls with deep sounding base. To put everything in a nutshell, my wife and I are very, very happy with our new wall rattling speaker setup, the neighbors, not so much LOL.

Had these speakers for about a month now. Bought them to enhance the sound from my flat screen TV. Works well for that purpose. A little weak in the bass for listening to music but crystal clear mid-range. Good speakers for their size and price.

These speakers work very well as surround speakers, but they shine during multi-channel stereo listening as well, especially with vocals. These bring out vocals like less expensive speakers just cannot. Well worth the price.
