mspeed76 Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 I plan to replace my ProMedia sattelite speakers with 4 Quintet speakers. 1) Will this work? Are the power ratings/cross-overs compatible? 2) any other comments on this swap? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted February 25, 2001 Share Posted February 25, 2001 mmmmhhhh. interesting question... maybe you could ask in the home theater forum up there... since I don't know the xover specs for either the pro or the quintet sats, i can't help you. I'm sure if you called Klipsch they'd tell you too. tell us about it when you find out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paragon Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 for the qunits: Sensitivity: 90dB @ 1 watt/1 meter Frequency Response: 100Hz - 20kHz Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohms Crossover Frequency: 4900Hz Max Amp Power:100 Watts maximum continuous (200 Watts Peak Power). Enclosure Type: Bass Reflex Via Rear-Firing Port Dimensions: 7.5" H x 4.25" W x 6.376" D I would think they would work fine with the Pro Sub.. dont know if there would be any sound difference ------------------ All Your Base Are Belong To Us ------------------------------------- 1GHz TBird Abit KT7A-RAID FOP38 & CuShim Kingmax 256MB PC150 Annihilator2 32MB GTS Intel Pro100+Management NIC Promise Ultra100 IBM 75GXP 45GB ATA100 & Maxtor DMP6800 27.2GB ATA66 Plextor 16X10X40A Sony 12X DVD SBLive! 5.1 AOpen HX08 Full Tower 300W Sony CPD-G400 19" Triny Pro 4.1 are comin!!!!!!!!

mspeed76 Posted February 26, 2001 Author Share Posted February 26, 2001 it should sound significantly better.. Compared to the Promedias, the Quintets are 1) bass-reflex ported enclosure 2) speaker made out of black stone mineral compund (twice as hard as ABS plastic) 3) neodymium magnet for tweeter 4) soft dome pressure tweeter 5) better material woofer 6) bigger woofer (by .5") 7) binding posts connections BTW, they are selling on uBid.com for $39/ea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k27-R Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 but will the crossover of the quintets cause any problems? that's the only thing that has kept me from buying these, i'm waiting for kblair's results. or anyone elses before i buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dman155 Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 The crossover between sub and sats is in the sub. Don't worry about it. You'll be fine with quintets, though they will be getting less power (pro sats are 4 ohm nominal, quints are 8 ohm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
