where the heck did you fid a KSW-12 for $120? Wherever you did, lemme know cause I gotta order like 4 of them!! ~Lance

I must have gotten one of the affected subs because I went back to Tweeter and they gave me the fuse and fuse holder from their floor model KSW10 and i put that and I haven't had any problems yet... i haven't turned the bass up enough to really case it to catch, but still not problems... I'll let you guys know what happens.

I ended up just turning the sub down on my reciever and at like 8 on the sub itself... no problems so far since I replaced the last fuses.

Just to fill you guys in... I got my center channel replaced, and the sub got replaced by United Audio (now the Tweeter Group...) and everything works perfectly! I'm so happy with these speakers... thanks Klipsch for making a great product and having the integrity to stand behind it! I'll never buy from another home speaker manufacturer again. I am one proud customer!

I'm going to go into UA and swap everything out tomorrow night... lemme ask you guys something... do you experience problems like this often? Also, am I possibly overpowering the speakers? (110x5 @ 8 ohms) Also, I've read somethings on this board about "clipping" the speakers... does this mean turning the highs up on the eq? I had my high setting at about +8 and the cross over set at 2.8khz... would this damage the tweeter? I love crisp, bright highs and I can't think of a better tweeter to get them from than a Tractix horn... but does this damage the tweeter? It was weird... I was playing something and then one second it sounded like all the highs just went out... I'll keep you posted on the dealings with UA... Thanks for all the help! PS... what would you recommend setting the sub at to keep hard bass but not blow any more fuses!! (I have a 10" Infinity Kappa Perfect sub in my Trans Am and I'm used to HARD bass...)

Bob: Let me first say from what I have heard of the system, I'm blown away. For the $850 I ended up paying, it's the most amazing sound system I think (for the money) you can buy. I'm running it on (as I've said before) a Sony DB-940 which is in the ES line, and it's a mid range ES receiver... it's runs 110watts x 5 channels at 8 ohms (which is what I have it set to). It's a pretty nice little unit, and I was happy with it when i was running a Bose Acoustimass 10 Series II system... but there just weren't enough highs, which is why I decided to go with the Klipsch system... my best friend has Klipsch speakers from about 2 or 3 years ago (before they started using the copper-colored woofer) and I've never heard anything like them... I think they're either Legend or Reference series, which ever were about $250 a piece for the 8" woofer version. but I digress, the problems I'm having are annoying, but I'm not loosing faith in Klipsch at all... United Audio said they're going to swap me out a new center channel and sub and try to fix the old ones and sell them open box... so hopefulyl everythign will work out... I tried to get them to upgrade me to a KSW12 for free, but they weren't too hot on that one... oh well, maybe next time :-)

Oh great, I didn't know they were! I was afraid I was in trouble. I coulda saved like $250 and bought it off the internet, but I wanted to make sure I had that awesome 5 year warranty. So should I just be able to take the sub back to UA and have them replace it? Or do they need to go through you guys first and cross ship one to them?

The fuse blows after a few minutes of playback... the volume doesn't matter... I've experimented with a few different setups... having the bass set at 0, turning the volume to 3 (the DB940's volume goes up to 10, by the way, it's a mid-level ES reciever) and playing a movie soundtrack will ultimately end up the fuse blowing... having the bass set at +8 and the sub volume at 5 playing rap music with the volume on the receiver set at 5 will result in the same effect, but it seems to play the bass a lot harder, a lot longer. I'm going to pick up some 1 amp fuses today after I get home from work and see if that doesn't help (I need to since I'm out of 750ma). If it keeps happening I'll probably call the helpline, and see if maybe they can figure it out...

I've had my Quintet Microsystem and KSW10 for 3 days now... the first problem I talked about in Powered Subwoofers... the fuse is constantly blowing. Second problem is the tweeter on the center channel seems to be inoperative now, but I'm not sure... it does sound like there is something coming out of it, but I can't tell if it's from the other 2 speakers or the tweeter itself. I don't know what to do, but i want to get this thing working!! Help!

Why not just mount them upside down, and then find a good way to secure them, maybe with some thing fishing wire around the feet to ensure they don't fall... just an idea.

I was reading through the site and it claims that the response of the Quintets only go up to 20,000hz... how can this be? I have heard MB Quart speakers which claim to hit 32,000hz, and they sound a LOT like the Quintets... what is the real range for the system?

So would it be better to go with the 1 amp fuse as opposed to the 750ma fuses I've been replacing it with? Just to let you know, I ended up blowing my last 750ma fuse earlier today, playing the movie Rush Hour at volume 4 on my Sony DB-940... The bass was at 5 on the sub and 8 on the receiver... I don't know why this is still happening... but I hope it can be resolved without having to go through warrranty means or a service store, since the store I bought it from out here (United Audio) is not listed under the qualified dealers page...

Ok, So get this... I got my Quintet Microsystem with KSW10 sub on Friday... and when I pulled it out of the box I knew I was in for a surprise... but I thought it would just be amazing audio and detailed clarity... what I had awaiting was blown fuses. I've gone through 5 fuses now! And it's only been 2 days... I don't know what to do. I first replaced the fuse with the same one from another KSW10... then I tried a larger fuse, 750ma instead of 630... blown... then another, and another... I have 1 fuse out of 4 left... and I'm very very frustrated. I don't know what to do to fix this and I don't even know what's wrong, I ahven't had the volume or bass up over 4 and +4 on my Sony DB-940 yet it still blows out... help me out please!
