Micro 5.1 vs. Klipsch HD 500: Any recommendations?
54482
I went to BB to listen to the Klipsch with a variety of different receivers and I would say go with the Energy RC micro's. I think they sound much better and it's odd since they are the same company. I paired my speakers with the Onkyo sr 507 and its sounds great.

I have a Denon AVR-1912. Though it may seem expensive, it is very clean on sound quality and it is very powerful, and jam packed with useful features. I also use it with the Klipsch HD 500 and a pair of old KG 1's by Klipsch (Remember those?) and they sound wonderful. I have also an old 1980's amplifier by Denon that I use on a daily basis , and it still works wonderfully. I have had the AVR-1912 for a while now, and I don't see myself changing the receiver soon. I love Denon products, and they deserve consideration. The AVR-1912 isn't the only option, as other receivers by that company are cheaper, and sound well, but the 1912 is known by many sites as a very good receiver. Short term- Expensive Very Great sounding Long Term- Great Deal (Hopefully) Hope this helps!

Used or new the altek landing VS_4121 speakers are my favorites. They are a smaller 2-1 setup with a Very good sound . Better than the 4122s.

I cannot compare the two sets, but I can tell you this: the Definitive Technology AW 6500 has a 10" woofer that reflects back off the mounted wall and gives incredible bass presence to the sound, plus a 6.5 mid-speaker as well as the 1" tweeter. The speakers you want to compare with these has a 5.5 inch woofer and a 1" tweeter. I don't see how the Klipsch can possible compare in fidelity.

Not knowing your application it's hard to say. For me, I think the K10's are really powerful and a great form factor. I think an awesome solution would be to add a subwoofer. I think they call it the K-Sub. That setup would cover it all!

I am using a Line 6 Pod500X pushed through a Behringer and a Crate into the cabinet and it sounds really great. Mids and Highs are excellent but speakers (or cabinet design) don't push the lows as well as my other cabinets.

Best to go to a Bose store and test both units side-by-side. Bring a CD or DVD that offers excellent sound to compare. On the CD side I usually play a smooth jazz disc which really highlights the mids and highs and play at low volume which really tells the story. On the DVD I play an action flick with considerable surround sound audio so you can see how they compare to a 5.1 system. I think you will find the GS system is worth the extra coin as the mids and highs are very clear while they seem muffled on the regular series II system. Yes both systems seem a bit pricey but unless you really want an exceptional 5.1 or 7.1 audio experience the Bose will provide excellent sound.

I have had both headphones. I did not notice any difference in sound quality. I preferred the K551 for portability. They are both great headphones.

Are you using for indoor? I bought for outdoor movies. You definately want external speakers for this. I bought some cheap ones on recommendation first for about $50, and they were junk. Returned and bought Klipsch - ProMedia 2.1 Speaker System, and couldn't be happier. I use for outdoor movies, kids etc., and the sound is great. Projectors is a snap, couldn't be happier with the purchase, and the screen I bought as well. HDMI will cary the audio over. Not sure about the 3.5mm

There is a little but nothing too badIf you want little to no microphonics with much better isolation, I would go for the brainwavz s1. It sounds better overall tooBrainwavz S1 IEM Noise Isolating Earphones With Clearwavz Remote and Microphone for iPhone iPad iPod

I got the Klipsch 10 inch subway it's great. They had two different series but I got the one that cost more. The 12 inch sub you will need a huge room or cut the volume down

Probably contact B&O.; Be ready to pay a fortune though. In my opinion, you're better off getting a new make. Klipsch is a good product & affordable. All the best

These are a pretty good choice for an intro into budget fidelity. Try checking out the Koss SportaPro. Exact same headphone with behind the head design.

Currently, I am using Klipsch F-30s for my fronts and these RF-52s for my rears in my 5.1 setup. While everyone has a different ear and taste in their music; I personally find these to excel with the highs as a previous reviewer mentioned. The F-30s have a much fuller sound and do better with the mids and lows. For music purposes, I would suggest either the F-30s with a decent center or these with a sub to help with the lows. As always, there is no right answer; It's all a matter of opinion.

Kind of an outdated discussion, since Klipsch has updated the Quintets to a new "IV" model, but it's worth pointing out that the Take Classic speakers are much less efficient than the Quintets and present a greater challenge for an amplifier to drive.

No, if you need digital audio inputs, look into the 550HSD or 575HSD. Much larger, so they may not be in your budget/space requirements.

I have a Bose 5.1 system, and the Monoprice sounds just as good. I paid 100.00 for the Monoprice a few years ago.
