KlipschBlack Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

I've got probably the weirdest use-case scenario for these. For about 7 years now I've been using the Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker system for my PC and love the surround sound cues in FPS games, but it's always bugged me that there are no tweeters, just 3" drivers. I recently upgraded the downstairs and upstairs audio setups in the house with SVS Ultra speakers, and when going between those systems and my PC it became painfully obvious that something was missing. I also recently installed a WiiM Amp in my bedroom but couldn't find a set of speakers that had good bass without also totally dominating the top of the bureau where they sat. I decided I needed a wireless subwoofer but didn't really want to pay the $900 for an SVS Micro 3000. A year or two ago I stumbled across this Klipsch 5.1 speaker system on Amazon and bookmarked it. At first the price tag bugged me but it finally dawned on me that it would solve several problems all at once, for much cheaper than other solutions. So now I've replaced the 3 front PC speakers (Left, Center, Right) with units from this package, and connected the remaining two speakers and the sub to the WiiM Amp. It made a noticeable and immediate improvement to the sound on my PC: voices on YouTube clips sound much more realistic and present - not just because of improved high end due to the tweeters, but they also seem to handle lower notes more convincingly as well (I've got these crossed at 80Hz like before but you can actually hear more bass directionally now, which means it's coming from the speaker, not the sub). In-game sound is also massively improved. And music sounds so much better and has a more holographic soundstage. The original Logitech speakers are doing just fine as the rear surrounds, since they don't get a whole lot of use. Upstairs, the WiiM amp setup now sounds exactly like what I was looking for, and the speakers are a much better fit for the available space. I think the WiiM Amp is much happier driving smaller speakers, too. It's probably overkill for a bedroom stereo but I'm thrilled with it.I've seen a few reviews here saying the sub was defective, one guy even went so far as to call it a fake because something big was rattling around inside (I suspect the amp or part of it got dislodged by being dropped in shipping or something). Mine worked immediately and the wireless connection is perfect for my needs. I don't see this system on the Klipsch site so I am assuming it must be discontinued. Regardless, it's a great value and I'm sooooooo glad I finally pulled the trigger on these.Edited to add: I was finally able to find these on the Klipsch site (by googling "Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1" and following the link, I couldn't locate them through the site itself) . It does look like maybe they've been discontinued but it's hard to tell. More interestingly, it says that the original price was around $1300, which really explains a whole whole lot about why these sound so good. Discontinued or not, I'm really glad to get ahold of them for $399 instead. Love 'em to bits!

Having endured the frustration of a much more expensive Sound-bar failure after only two years of service and no hope of repair, I decided to go in a different direction with my home theater setup. The Klipsch speakers in this system coupled with the Onkyo receiver provide an outstanding sound presentation in my 15X15 room. The surround speakers deliver a wide frequency range that satisfies most non-audiophiles. The 8 inch subwoofer is powerful but not overwhelming giving the low frequencies plenty of punch. The receiver powers all speakers with more power than my room will accommodate. For its price point I think the pairing of the receiver with the speaker package are an excellent value that will allow for much less costly replacements when the electronics reach their life expectancy. I would purchase this system again.

These are very impressive! I already had a Klipsch Quintet III system with a bigger subwoofer, it's a previous generation similar to the Reference system. These were set up using a Yamaha receiver in 5.1 surround system installed in 2007. Having purchased a 2024 TCL 85" TV(!), the concept was to purchase the new Reference theater pack & upgrade the receiver to a Sony STRDH790 with Dolby Atmos, then use 2 of the Quintets as height speakers for a budget 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos enabled system connected via eARC... Wow, did that work as desired!!! Having previously purchased some older Quintet III's at a thrift store too, I had enough speakers & another sub to move the entire Yamaha Quintet system with sub to my dining/kitchen area, connected to the TV via fiberoptic cable for music & continued sound throughout the house. The sound quality is very good, with plenty of punch!

I'm going to admit, I'm somewhat a novice when it comes to home theatre. With that said, I'm aware of how much of a difference it truly makes with ones interpretation of what they're watching. I had recently upgraded to a new OLED with an eARC feature and came to realise, my soundbar I bought 5 years ago wasn't doing me justice anymore, even though some sound great! My goal was to get something that sounded phenomenal, didn't break the bank, and looked clean as well. Found quite a few options online that I thought would work best, went to a local Magnolia store, and started to narrow down what features would work the best for my preferences as well as a ton of reviews on a lot of these systems. Took the gamble, and gave Klipsch my money. Received a neat home theatre in a box not long after and got to work with how I was going to place these. I think they'd go best being mounted especially the back speakers, but given space and size of the sidepiece my TV is on figured they'd work better just placed, given their very convenient size. I went with buying some telescoping speaker stands so they could still be placed above my couch/ear level. I placed the sub aside the sidepiece on a speaker riser, mainly to be on good terms with the neighbors below and supposedly makes the bass punch a tad more as it downfires. Had to hone in on my wiring skills a bit but to be honest if you have a decent stripping to it's straight forward, and I'd highly recommend purchasing the Amazon basic 16 gauge 100ft with this as it'll require 18 or larger. A few hours later, a few cuts from my clueless utility knife skills, and some extra wire to play with, the speakers were all hooked up and lead to a Yamaha TSR-7850 receiver(I'm sure there's better out there, but with eARC compatibility if you have it and flexibility to go 7.1 for less than $500, it was a definite for me). Took some time to get through options of setup on my TV as I truly have no clue what I'm doing with this, but when I did. WOW. Great clarity, full sound, and the bass blends so well. Not a tremendous amount, which for me was perfect as I just need it to fill in the areas and thus subwoofer does just that. The speakers look awesome with or without the covers and the quality is as great as the sound. To conclude, if you're relatively new to the home theatre/ surround sound/ external audio aspect for your TV/gaming/ movie viewing, highly consider this package. If you get it when it's on sale, it's worth every penny and if you buy at it's regular retail, I still guarantee you won't be disappointed. Cheers!
