MBM135 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I have set up my 2 channel room system (listed below) and need a very unobtrusive HT set-up. I want something small and have been looking at the box packages from H/K, Bose, Polk etc. I don't want to dwarf the room with big black speakers, etc. Since I am a Klipsch fan I was wondering if the Quintets would work OK with the KSW-10. Will these at least make for a loud enough, decent HT set-up? We only watch a movie once a week at the most and I am not looking for state of the art system by any means. I'm using a Harman/Kardon AVR-110 DTS 5.1 Rcvr. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 My Dad has the Quintets and they do admirably for HT-only in a small to medium size room. If you have the space and the $, you might step up to the Synergy System 6 (SC-.5, SS-.5, and SB-1). DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 they do sound good, especially compared to other sat spkr sys's available,BUT-the synergy sys 6 OR the RB-15's w/appropriate accompanying ctr and surr would sound better. your ksw-10 will work w/any of these. avman.

prodj101 Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 as long as you don't get the bose you'll be fine. just know, if you get bose, I may be forced to hunt you down myself... J/K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Scratch Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Yes, the Quintets are decent -- in fact, more than decent. By all logic, speakers that small and at that price should not sound that good. I've had a set for about a year and a half w/ the KSW10 and the only way you will be disappointed is if you are expecting very high end sound and projection. And, as I've said at least a dozen times on this forum, please do not buy the Bose cubes over the Quintets. Energy Take-Fives and Paradigm make good very compact speakers too, but probably not as good as Quintets. Again, no Bose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have listened to them side-by-side and will take the Quintets anyday. Better yet, and this I found out last weekend - those new Reference series satellites that we have been curious about? Well, I got to see them with my own eyes during the Klipsch tour last weekend and even asked when they are to be shipping? They said they will be available in a couple of weeks, and seem to be very reasonably priced. You may want to hold off a couple or three weeks and see if you can check these out at a local dealer. They are a little bigger than I anticipated them to be, but they were not to terribly big - they are smaller than the RB series bookshelf speakers, though. Here are a couple pics of these new satelites: RSX-5 RCX-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclones22 Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 I have the quintet + ksw10 + h/k 225 set up and also live in an apartment. I've only had it for a week, but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. I love it and am thankful my brother-in-law talked me into doing it. Also, received some nice advice/encouragement on this board from skonopa, among others. Our test dvd was attack of the clones (the big jedi arena fight) and I was completely amazed by the sound and the effect it had in my living room. My downstairs neighbors may hate me, but only for a few hours a week Anyway, hope this helps. cyclones22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edveen76 Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Hello all I am thinking of buying the Quintet with the KSW-10 also. I am also intrested in the Synergy System 6. If anyone can point me to a store that has a good deal on either of these please point it out to me. And also, what is the difference between the Quintet and the Quintet II? Thanks for anyhelp!

Just be sure to place you're quintet's close to the wall behind them. In my opinion the satalite's should be 2 inches from the wall behind them and as klipsch suggest 2-3 feet from side walls'. This will give the quintets a flat responce down two 100hz !! The difrence between the quintet 1 and 2 is from what I know the quintet II has a high pass x-over at about 80hz to protect the 3.5 mid from blowing. And the wall mount is upgraded.
