Brac Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I have to replace a bose setup for a friend, she likes the size of whats there, but they won't work when I put in a real receiver. Looking for suggestions. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I would go with these. http://maine.craigslist.org/ele/2892798123.html http://www.klipsch.com/quintet-home-theater-system I think they are still available new from BB and online merchants. They are the "newest" incarnation of the Quintets. My first set of Klipsch speakers were the Quintet III's and they were super little speakers. Very dynamic(for their size). Or better yet, this Cinema 6 system. http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLIPSCH-SURROUND-SOUND-SPEAKERS-qty-5-4-RSX-3-1-RCX-3-/320883175894?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item4ab620b1d6 Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brac Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions, look like some decent deals, am I right thinking Quintets will out perform either of the HD Theater sets? Amazon has the Quintet 5.0 system for $450 shipped. http://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-QUINTET-Speaker-System-Black/dp/B002HWRKA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333898367&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, these took an editors choice award in 2011 from CNET Good luck......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 My Paradigm Millenia 1 5.1 speaker system sure rocks. Just read the reviews on them. Don't know if $1300 is out the price range or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I have the Klipsch HD 500 that I have can sell. Cosmetically and functionally a 10/10. $250 shipped. I had thes as a second HT but no longer need them. This system sounds great and the sub is great for a small to medium size room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brac Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Thanks for all the help, she wants only new stuff so I went with the HD 500 even though they wouldn't give me yesterdays discount. I like used, but it's for someone else (thanks for the offer Derrick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 You are welcome Brac. You will really like this micro satellite sys. Back to the selling block for me, darn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 If you can't afford the Klipsch Gallery speakers, you might look at the Polk Blackstone TL2's. I've heard good things about them, and they are under $100 each. 125hz and up... They will own Bose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
