Spectral Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I'm interested in getting a pair of quintet satellites for use as surrounds in a home theater. I already have other gear to use for the front and center speakers, and I don't really need a great setup. Is there anywhere I can buy just the pair of speakers? I've only found the entire 5-speaker package online. If that doesn't work, does anyone have suggestions for a similarly-priced pair of small surrounds? Thanks a lot.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Ebay is the only place I am aware of for buying pairs in lieu of the 5 piece system. What is your L-C-R set up? The Quintents were better than nothing for my system, but I found them to be way out of place with my original Heresy/KSC-C1/Heresy front stage system. I quickly sold my quintents and moved to the SS-1 and now I have the RS-3. Again, the Quintet may or may not be a good match for your system? It depends on what you have for L-C-R.

Spectral Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 Thanks, I'm using an old Kenwood bookshelf system for the front L/R; not sure about the center yet. The Kenwood actually sounds alright; it's about 10-15 years old now. It is not exactly the last word in imaging, but the sound is pleasingly full. I have a few pieces of different systems floating around which I can try for a center, although the room is small enough that it may not really be necessary (don't know yet, haven't tried). This isn't a high-budget project; I'm basically just goofing around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Sounds like the Quintets might work for you then, should be able to find a pair for around $100. Also, look in to the recently discontinued Klipsch Synergy SB-1 and SB-2. I picked up a pair for my son for around $100. For the money, an excellent choice.

Max_Durham Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Spectral, I have a pair of Quintets that I'll sell you. I have a pair with original packaging and one pair without (the packaging was accidently thrown out). Both are black and in mint condition. If interested let me know.

Spectral Posted August 3, 2005 Author Share Posted August 3, 2005 Max, Thanks; unfortunately I'm looking for a pair in white. They seem to be tough to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't do it on $500 speakers, but for a $75-$100 pair of Quintets, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
