Working with a budget and want quality check out Klipsch before selecting other over rated and over priced speakers. Like others who have bought Klipsch. DanPutnam,CT This is one of my better purchases. Who needs Bose. Solid system for the money.
I am very happy with these speakers. I hung the 3 front speakers from the ceiling (DIY strap for the center channel speaker) on top of our screen and the imaging is really first rate. They can play very loudly.
The reviews are correct. A good sub will take that role.They have very low distortion and will outplay any Bose setup I've yet heard. After reading all of the positive reviews I thought I'd try these Klipsch Quintet IIs.
They aren't as powerful as my Athena 4 AS-B1s and AS-C1 center channel setup but they are a fraction of their size. We purchased them from Vanns, and I was impressed with their speed of delivery and good price. They are very clean sounding.
Not much bass ability at all, but they shouldn't at their size.
I'm able to get them to hug the wall pretty easily. My guess is Klipsch tried to save money by having one user manual for many speakers.Bottom line is if you want them to rest on a flat surface, no problem. Particularly for small speakers. The instructions list 2 screws at the base of the bracket that need to be tightened. I'm using this for 4 satellite speakers in a 7.1 setup.
In reality, there are 3 screws on the speakers themseleves. Not much, if any, bass. Other models have the 2 screws. if you plan on wall mounting and want them in a position other than flopped straight down at a 45 degree angle, be prepared for some skinned knuckles and some frustration. The problem is adjusting the position of the speaker. The allen wrench is provided.
I'm using the center speaker for another setup. If you want bass, you need to get a subwoofer.I have the 4 speakers wall mounted. The problem is the allen wrench doesn't fit in the screws easily and they have to be very tight or else the speakers will flop.The instructions that came with the speakers that pertain to this don't match the speakers. Sound Quality is great. There are 3 allen wrench screws per speaker that need to be tightened once the speaker is in the right spot. There are two screws (not supplied) per speaker that the bracket slides over.
They sound very bright. The way they attach to the wall is fine.
Initially I wasn't ready to spend a grand on traditional, full-size speakers. Rest assured, these Quintets do a decent job, they are every bit as loud as the Onkyo speakers I replaced and far superior in clarity and robustness.
I'm using 2 of the Quintets as the surrounds, and a separate set of Polks as the sub-surrounds in my 7.1 setup. I have these speakers paired up with a Yamaha 661.
After MUCH hesitation I finally bought this set. If these tiny satellites are any indication of what their larger counterparts are capable of I will absolutely spend that $1000+ when the time comes to upgrade.When I first began researching speakers I simply couldn't get over the fact that tiny speakers could deliver big sound.
Listening to TrueHD and Master Audio (via my ps3) has been pure joy, and I'm hearing enough of a difference that I will probably pick up a third set of quintets to replace the Polks, and eventually the KSW-12" subwoofer. Having heard so much praise for the Klipsch brand I had decided I wanted to get on the bandwagon, but but at an entry-level expense.
however, things have changed.
My family room is 15 x 17 and these speekers fill the room with volume to spare. I bought these speekers from Acoustic Sound Design through Amazon and I am happy with the product and the service I recieved from both company's. I made my purchase based on the reviews on Amazon, these speekers replaced a pair of Accoustic Research speekers that were 15 years old, watching my old DVD's with the Quintet II is like watching them for the first time, I don't have a sub now but will get one eventually.
