Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't read, just buy..., November 14, 2008

By	Chris Shelley (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Sound, January 12, 2009

By	Big-D (Lake Havasu City, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

I was replacing an old Audio/ Video unit that was about 15 years old. My system was going to comprise of mostly top-of-the-line TV and components, but I wanted to find great deals.
This review pertains to the replacement of my old BOSE 5.1 Surround system. The speakers I decided upon are the Klipsch Quintet SL Home Theater System.
I want to tell you, I thought my BOSE system sounded good. This Klispch system blows everything I've ever owned away. Regardless of the volume level (low or cranking), this system sounds great. There is "No" distortion... ever! Period! The sound is crisp and clear. Although I did add a Sub-Woofer to this system, the speakers themselves sound great and offer really good lows.
I like the fact that they come with either stands to set them on a shelf or cabinet and they come with the necessary hardware to hang them on the wall. I chose to hang the two front speakers on the wall about three inches from the sides of my new 52" LCD television and then I place the center speaker on the shelf just below my LCD. The rear surround speakers are also attached to the wall about 10 feet apart and eight feet above the floor behind my sofa with the wires running through the walls being brought down from the ceiling.
Pushing these speakers is a Denon AVR-988 and a Polk Audio DSW microPro 1000 Sub Woofer.
The quality of the cabinets these speakers come with are unsurpassed. Great quality. Ordered from Amazon for a great price and received them in just two days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Product, November 8, 2008

By	CJ (Houston, MN USA) - See all my reviews

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.
