Strength:

For centuries, concrete has been a popular building material and for good reason. Concrete Companies Lakeland Compared to other materials like wood or brick, it offers many practical advantages such as being easy on the wallet and having various design options available through stamped-on designs that can give surfaces some personality with your own unique choices.

Will need a sub only but that's a given

Strength:

Sound Quality is good for something this small. Size, price, looks. It will kill the BOSE Acousticrap anyday.

Weakness:

If you consider the price, there are no weaknesses. Is BASS on the weaker side? Of course, what do you expect out of a speaker this small?

Klipsch is slowly winning my heart. This is the second set of Klipsch speakers I own. I have the Reference line in my Living room and these seem perfect for my bedroom. What can I tell you? Of course Reference blows these little guys out of the water, but for the size, the price, I doubt you will find anything better. I am a recovered former BOSE owner. What a joke versus these speakers. I listen to them in Stereo with Direct Source. If you pair them to a decent AVR like a Pioneer Elite, you will be amazed how good quintets are for music. They can really turn your ears. I listen to DVD audio with these satellites and you can hear "sound stage". I think one of the reasons why people say the quintets are no good for music is because people with this price range will pair them up with mass market AVRs and DVD or CD players that have 92hz DACs. Try putting them on a AVR that has the 192hz/24 bit DACs and a DVD Player that supports 192hz/24 bit DACs. The speakers will only sound as good as the source can provide.

Best looking speakers...sound for size..price

Weakness:

none

OK...for u guys who say that the speakers....are not producing enough base....DUH!!!!They weren't meant for that..They were meant to produce excellent quality sound and they do that.You guys are looking for way to much to come out from a 3" driver. Great Speakers...for HT. Blow my guests away all the time...especially coupled with the KSW 12" sub...and lcd projector.

Strength:

Size, Looks, Price, Sound, Look great mounted on the ceiling.

Weakness:

Havent found any yet.

I posted a previous review of this product when I first purchased the speakers and set up my first HT system. Now that I have learned the features of my HT system and how to get the best sound, I felt that perhaps a follow up review to amend some previous coments may be in order. First I stated previously that these small quintents were not good for Music. This just insnt so. I have found that with my set up if I listen to music in Stereo as opposed to surround and if I run some watts thru them, that these little beauties produce fine sound when listening to music. The stero portion of the amplifier produces far less distortion than the surround, and it seems that by cutting out the center channel and the rear speakers that the music sounds better (at least to my ears). These speakers produce alot of volume and Ive yet to get any distortion and or been able to overdrive them. I paid $90 dollars at Ubid for four of them including shipping and mounted them on the ceiling for a HT set up. The rest of my set up includes a low end sherwood HT receiver, AR subwoofer and Klipsh center channel speaker.

Strength:

Style, size, I really liked the built-in brackets

Weakness:

lack of clarity, not very powerful

I bought these quintets as a second setup for a home theater room and I wasn't impressed with them at all. I had a set of Energy Take 5 and they blow the Klipsch out of the water completely. I ran them with a Marantz SR-5000 on DTS watching the "O brother where are thou" DVD and the clarity and power of the Energy were much better than Klipsch. I like the sound of the tweeter but the problem was, I had to get like 5 inches close to the center channel to hear the high frequencies. I'm selling these back and hopefully will buy a set of B&W LM-1.

Strength:

Wall brackets, size, perfect as rears.

Weakness:

No bass, not much range.

$75 shipped, which is a good price for these. I would highly recommend NOT to use these in a stereo setup, or in a musical setting. They don't have the range to pull it off, even with a sub (which helps). They work great as surrounds or in a modestly priced 5.1 HT setup. Especially if space is a consideration.

Weakness:

Weak bass handling but then thats a given and not what they are meant to do well

Use these speakers in a HT set up. I paid $70 for four plus $20 shipping, brand new Klipsch built with warranty. There are some fakes or at least not authorized by Klipsch on market see web site for details. I use an entry level Sherwood 5.1 reciever, Klipsch center channel and an AR subwoofer. For the price I paid I can complain. They arent for music as many reviewers have stated and no they dont make bass but how could they. I mounted mine on the celing with the brakets supplied without drilling holes thru the brackets. They are out of the way and look and sound good. Much of the sound and effects in HT seem to be carried by the subwoofer and the center channel so spend your dollars here and go with less costly surround speakers. If you can afford the best than so be it. Four larger speakers does take up more room.

Strength:

Size, Price, ease of placement.

Weakness:

bass rolls off at around 110hz, a lot of receivers have crossover presets at 80hz, 100hz, and 150hz.

Incredible sound for their size, and very good sound period. They need a subwoofer to really sound good. The sound really opens up with the crossover on the sub set around 110hz. Any lower and the sound becomes "cupped" and "boxy." Once the crossover was correctly adjusted, the speaker really came alive. Very clean and clear.
