Shiplemw1 Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 Hello all, I recently acquited a jvc receiver rx-1028vbk and now have all the plugs and hookups and inputs and outputs I could possibly need for the years to come. My question is as follows: I owned a set of klipsch pro-media v.2-400's for approx: 3 days and loved their sound, highs, mids were fine and the sub oh my, beats that damn 100 watt jvc I've had for years all to heck... I returned the klipsch due to a static noise when adjusting the volume but anyway.. The quintets are basically the same speaker except a larger driver, they are ported and can handle more power. I'm thinking of buy a quintet system (4 sats and 1 center). I'm not sure which sub I would end up buying though as I haven't thought through all my options. But I can get a good deal on the quintets and would like to see if anyone else had any experience with them. The room they will be used in is a college dorm room with concrete block walls and approximately 10'x15' but later on (summer ) they will be used in a larger room 22'x22'. My system as currently is: jvc rx-1028 vbk infinity ref71 mkII 3-ways crappy jvc surrounds and center no dvd player as of yet Any opinions on subs that can be used with this system? thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOOMIS914 Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 See my post on Quintets in this section called "Speaker dilemma". Klipsch 10, 12 or 15 will work great, actually the 10 or 12 should be enough bass unless you hang out with Seb. Quintets are great for HT and very average with 2-ch stereo.

BLOOMIS914 Posted March 2, 2001 Share Posted March 2, 2001 BTW, 22 x 22 room is quite large...I would not use the Quintets in that room and expect too much excitement. I would suggest stepping up to the Synergy System 6 at least for maybe $200 more approx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiplemw1 Posted March 3, 2001 Author Share Posted March 3, 2001 I believe I will upgrade to a dvd player and then.. I will upgrade my speakers so as to see an overall improvement, major improvement is most likely to be seen. My only concern is that once I find "the system" that rocks for my combo and room at home, I will most likely have to move back into the dorm or into the fraternity house, and I don't want to put expensive speakers in jeopardy. Maybe I'll end up buying 4 quintet sats and a larger center (maybe ksc1, would that be timbre matched to the quints?) and then if I want more sound from the mains, I may upgrade my ht experience with a seperate amp and new (read bigger) speakers. I'll have to give it some thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 I believe the SC-.5 is generally used as the alternate center channel for the Quints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO1nf Posted March 3, 2001 Share Posted March 3, 2001 Go with the Synergy System 6. No I don't own them I have the Reference Series so that's not why I'm recomending the System 6. The System 6 IMO blows away any speaker package in that price range including the Quintets & the Energy Take 5 that gets recomended so much at the Home Theater Forum.
