The Quintet III? How did I miss that announcement?

We got to see them in their design stages at the pilgrimage this last

summer (or at least they were demo'ing the design stages with these

speakers). They've got a really really cool mounting mechanism (you can

basically point them any direction).

Yes, they are very cool. Instead of the cheesy little .5" dish

towel material tweeter, looks like the .75" aluminum driver from the

bigger Synergy's. The mid-woofer is also much beefier. The

hard-to-use bases from the II's are gone and now it is a much nicer and

well-designed base.

Very big improvement. Every part is different on it. Very cool stuff.

Retails for $500 for the 5.0 system.

I don't typically gush over new product on here (since everyone assumes I'm just biased) but I do have to say that I love the new Quintet. I think it looks very cool, and packs incredible sound for the buck.

But that's just me [:)]

Wow, add the sub-12 for $300 and purchase a $300 reciever and you're looking at one killer computer setup [;)]

One thing about the new quintets is that the speaker base will cover

the same area that the old quintets covered. I know it's a little

thing, but this was the thing that impressed me the most at the klipsch

tour....I really have a strong appreciation for the little cool things

like this (and there were millions of them all over the place). It's

not like klipsch is just randomly slapping together a peice of crap

entry level product....they reall take their time engineering

everything to the best of their ability (heck, it certainly didn't cost

them anything to make the base plate cover the same area).
