Product Description

Product Description

The Klipsch F-1 Synergy floorstanding 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 F-1's virtuosity comes from its 6.5" IMG woofer and 1" aluminum dome compression driver coupled to an exclusive square Tractrix(R) Horn. It also features a custom, sculpted port that is located on the front baffle near the floor for intense low-frequency extension. The F-1 offers bi-wire capabilities allowing the use of one or two speaker level inputs as desired for improved connectivity. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, the contemporary look of the F-1 is two-fold. With its grille on, the F-1 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear, June 9, 2008

By	B. Kessler - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For a set of low-end tower speakers, the F-1's have clean highs (thanks to the Klipsch horn tweeter) and the mids are very precise. The base is weaker than I prefer, so a separate sub is recommended. I've been using these for about a month with my PS3/Xbox360 on a Harman Kardon AVR 146, and I am still hearing things in movies and games that I missed with my JBL's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Speakers, February 24, 2009

By	Jordan Webber - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These speakers are absolutely wonderful. I have them hooked up to a Yamaha HTR-5940 receiver. I am using them as the front channel speakers, along with an S-2 as a center (got a good deal from a friend), and B-2s as surrounds, along with a Sub-12.

Sound Quality:
The F-1s shine no matter what I am using them for. They are superb for stereo listening, and they handle the front effects channels for 5.1 very well too. They handle all types of music very well.

Appearance/Size
These speakers are slim. They are of the perfect height that the drivers are at ear level when sitting on a couch. The grills look nice, but I prefer to keep them off because I think the speakers look much cooler without them. I went to a retailer and was looking at the synergy speakers and the F-2s and F-3s are so big and heavy that they'd be kind of a pain for me, but the F-1s are easy enough to move around if you're just trying to clean behind them.

Connections:
The F-1 is ready for bi-wiring, but I tried it and didn't notice any difference so I went back to single wiring for simplicity's sake. The binding post type connectors are great because they accept thick speaker wire without any issues, or you can use banana plugs.

Note: The finish is not exactly "easily" damaged, but it can't take too much of a beating either, so be delicate with these speakers (of course, you would be delicate with any audio equipment anyway, right?).

Overall, these are great speakers. Well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hearing is Believing, June 11, 2008

By	J. Martin - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you choose a smaller room for your home theater like I have these towers will impress you every time. I have these plus the matching center, surrounds and sub mated to a THX rated Yamaha receiver. I usually get one of two reactions from people after hearing my system; "I need to re-calibrate my system" or "I need to upgrade". And that is coming from HT buffs that have spent much more than I. The bottom line is amazing performance for the money. I would imagine to get the same performance in medium to large rooms the F-2 or F-3 may be needed.
