Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Klipsch SS.5 Synergy series surround speakers use Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST), which enhances rear channel performance and allows incredible flexibility in room placement. It delivers a seamless, coherent sound field for optimal performance with the latest 5.1 digital formats. The K-110-A tweeters feature two one-inch dome compression drivers and a 4-inch square Tractrix horn, which provides higher efficiency and lower distortion. Its consistent 90 x 60-degree coverage pattern delivers realistic spatial imaging, smooth and neutral musical reproduction, and minimal sonic coloration. It also has a 4-inch K-1098-A magnetically shielded woofer, which delivers high output with low distortion, broad dynamics, and controlled coverage. Other features include multi-way, gold-plated binding posts and simplified keyhole wall attachment slots.

I got these speakers for the rear channels of my surround system and they are perfect; great sound, wide dispersion, small enough to blend in, and a nifty keyhole in the back to allow mounting them directly on the wall. The sound is so true I belive you could use them as front speakers in a smaller system/environment and be pretty satisfied although the perfect fit is in a surround setup. Very well constructed and nice flat black finish. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy SS.5 Rear Surround Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

I'm very pleased with these surround speakers. They match up very well with my Klipsh SC.5 center channel and Heresey large front speakers(which I've had for 20 years). They are plenty powerful for my size room (13x19). I actually mounted them on back wall since side just wouldn't work for my room layout. The multi directional speakers distribute the sounds great. I'm driving them with a new 80 watt per channel (x7.1) Mirantz home theater receiver.

This review is from: Klipsch Synergy SS.5 Rear Surround Speakers (Pair, Black) (Electronics)

Klipsch has a great reputation for making solid sounding speakers, even with their lower cost models, and these are no exception. I had a 5.1 surround system and decided these would be the perfect rear channel speakers to provide 7.1 surround sound for movies and games. DVD audio is not in 7.1 sound, but a lot of new receivers can interpolate the sound from the side surround channels, and I am amazed at how much fuller and immersive the surround experience has been since adding these extra speakers.

Even if you are going for a traditional 5.1 surround setup, these make a great pair of rear/side speakers in addition to the sub, center, and front speakers. They sound great, have a very high quality look and feel to them, and are affordable.
