jerryt Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I am looking for a litte feedback on the quality of these speakers-Klipsch SP-1. I currently have bose speakers and am not pleased with how they sound when I am listening to music. I plan on adding these speakers for use when I am listening to music. The pair I am looking at or used but in good condition. What would those of you who know more about these speakers deem as their value? Should I look at something else??

Krispy Kirk Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 If you currently use Bose, rest assured that the SP-1s will perform better in both 2ch stereo and 5.1 home theater situations. In good condition, $500/pr. is a fair price. Remember that when you buy a pair of SP-1s, you are in effect getting two 200 watt subwoofers for "free." As an SP-1 owner, let me offer you a few nuggets of wisdom: - the SP-1s contain powered subwoofers. This means each speaker must be fed a "subwoofer out" signal (aka "LFE" channel - the .1 part) from a true 5.1-capable receiver. If you don't do this, the SP-1s will produce no bottom end and will sound like minimonitors. - the SP-1 will sound best in a smaller room where the 8" subs won't be overworked. Something around 200-300 sq. feet is perfect for these speakers. - match them with any Synergy-series center and a pair of Synergy-series surrounds (check eBay for good deals - usually a coupla hundred bucks or less for all three if you time it right.)
