Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

Product Information

I became grateful for both the Klipsch’s well-behaved top end and the apparent decision to mix the film with a limited dynamic range. The sub’s internal amp is rated at 50 watts RMS and 150 watts peak, which is considerably less than the 200 and 450 watts spec of the 10inch sub we previously reviewed.

Our exclusive Tractrix® Horn Technology and aluminum tweeters deliver the most impressive high-end response and greater extension, enhanced imaging and powerful dynamics. That left the center speaker unused and required the left and right Pack Sats to image dialogue on their own.The speakers are very light which makes them easy to attach to the wall with a variety of speaker mounts.

The Sib sats may not be very big, but they are considerably larger than the wee Klipsch sats, and the difference was audible. The R-8SW doesn't add unnecessary bass bloat to the track's pounding floor toms and kick drum, providing a rhythmic backbone for higher frequencies to work with.

What's more, the speakers' sound is fairly directional, so we recommend aiming each of the five speakers toward the main listening position for best sound quality. To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. I do recommend them and I would say you won't be disappointed at these speakers they will only elevate your whole home system and make it more theater like sound. Why did the coloration all but vanish from “The White Album” in the vinyl box set of The Beatles in Mono?
