dougdrake Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 James - I think, in view of the total package, that the Samsung receiver would mate fine with the Quintets. I mean, for $600, how could you go wrong? I also mean, that for $600, it would be unrealistic to expect the Holy Grail of audio. I guess what I'm saying is that I wouldn't be concerned - I think it would be a fine package for the money. JMO, of course. Also, I (like many) probably used to look down my nose at Samsung as a brand. However, they have come a long way in the last few years, and have been on the leading edge of introducing many video developments and have some good stuff. I would bet their low-end receiver gear would be no different. Re the Sony -- guess I'm not sure what the relationship is between a receiver and the TV...

walter elzey Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I was also thinking of buying the Samsung/Klipsch package...but am getting cold feet. The salesman in a local Home Theater showroom, suggested I get a PolkAudio RM6005 combined with a Sony STR DE 485 Receiver. The price for this package would be $550 compared with the Samsung/Klipsch for $600. I've always liked Klipsch speakers, but don't know much about these combined with the Samsung. Which would you suggest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 This is a good setup. Samsung is becoming the leader in electronics.....plus with Klipsch I don't think you can go wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yromj Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I have a set of Quintets and a KSW-10, but not a Samsung receiver. The Quintets w/ the sub sell for $800 @ Best Buy and I feel they're worth every penny of that. If you can get them for $200 cheaper and a "free" receiver to boot, you can't hardly go wrong. $0.02, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed3 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Watch out now. Those are not the Quintet package. They appear to be more of a variant of the Pro Media speaker line. You have to pay $1000 to get the Quintet speakers with a Samsung receiver/dvd player. Either of these systems are more of a home theater in a box, which isn't necessariliy a bad thing, but that's what you're getting. I think that if you were to negotiate with a Klipsch dealer you could get the speakers with a decent receiver for little more than $1,000.
