Ahh..does this also include the Promedia series for PCs? Ako..merong 4.1s......when playing games? DA BEST!
We are very much happy with the reply of Klipsch owners, hope sana dumami pa ang mag post.
Everything is included...from the Promedia to their legendary Klipschorn. Marami kasi kami na encounter na meron silang mga pair of Klipschorn or even the La Scala....hope pati sila magparticipate.
Anyway thanks, marami pa kasing exciting dadating within the next months in regards to Klipsch.
Please just keep posting.....

Yup, Avid is just of our dealers. There is also one in Makati park Square the name of the retailer is Spectra.
Try to audition the RB3 sa kanila. RF3 is on AVSurfer Rockwell.
Post by: Ianbond on Mar 03, 2003 at 07:59 PM
Online, it can be had for abt USD170 (+shipping - but not sure if they do internationally).
BTW, also have the Promedia 4.1 for PC's. Hanep talaga sa games.

if you're indeed with studio systems, then i want to audition the Klipsch SB-3 or RB-3 at home so i will know if they would match my DIY 2A3 single ended amplifier.
are you game?
Post by: redkoji on Mar 12, 2003 at 04:39 PM
so redkoji, you're part of studio systems huh? i went to spectra last weekend and there is only one floorstanding model there and the person (who was wearing a JBL t-shirt) was not helpful. well, he was at that time entertaining a dressed-to-kill (naka suit) foreigner, who by the way is not interested in the Klipsch.
if you're indeed with studio systems, then i want to audition the Klipsch SB-3 or RB-3 at home so i will know if they would match my DIY 2A3 single ended amplifier.

Thanks for the comments arnoldc...try contacting Nilo of AVSurfer-Rockwell. Their number is 898-1828 or 33. As for the SB-3, it is not yet still available in Philippine market, baka middle of the year.
Pag di pa rin sila pumayag, just contact Studio...

Speaking of Klipsch, I'm really interested in getting the Promedia DD 5.1 so I can enjoy playing MS Rallisport on my Xbox, but dang, can't find anything on the local market. (was thinking of hooking it up to my old Yammie 6 channel receiver). Tried AVID, but they don't carry them.
Online, it can be had for abt USD170 (+shipping - but not sure if they do internationally).
BTW, also have the Promedia 4.1 for PC's. Hanep talaga sa games.
The DD5.1 was initially available for U.S market only. Since malapit na kami magrelease ng 240V PM5.1 kasama na ito ilalabas sa market. Kung my interesado ng magplace ng order of PM5.1 or DD5.1 please contact us. kasi medyo unit lang unit na dadating, kaya first come first served basis
Post by: arnoldc on Mar 12, 2003 at 05:39 PM
i'd like to thank nilo for bringing in the RB-3 to my place for audition.

Im not a klipsch owner but im in searching for a pair of bookshelf speaker for audio ( 60 % audio, 40 % ht on two channel.). Can you or anybody recommend a klipsch model comparable or have better performance to dyne audience 42. Is it easier to drive than the 4 ohms audience 42. Hey, this could be OT, its ok if you ignore it

Good day to you Dude,
Well, its hard to say what will be better performing bookshelf speakers under Klispch or Definitive as against your existing dyne audience 42. Since there will be a lot of factors to consider. We can do is to have an ocular of your system....then after that we will be bringing in for a demo the units at your site for you to listen.

Thanks for the reply redkoji, correction lang, I dont have the audience yet, therefore, i can still change my mind as waht speaker to buy. Im planning to pair it with rotel integrated amp. Thanks for the option to test your demo units, ano ba available the klipsch dyan?
Yo Titanium,
my friend in Toronto owns a pair of audience42 and here's what he said - overall its good for listening audio,because of its dimensions the sounds are clear... the downside however, is that it lacks in bass response so you need to invest in a good subwoofer, it's definitely not a good HT speaker, coz you tend to miss out on the booms and bangs of the film-
check with redkoji if you can audition a pair of Klipsch Reference Series Bookshelf Speakers

audience 42 "it's definitely not a good HT speaker"

http://www.avsurfer.com
among many others, tnt-audio's recent review of the audience 42 seems to say otherwise.
http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/dynaudio42_e.html
personally, i prefer klipsch for audio...specially
when matched with tube amps. apart from the flimsy grill my only other complaint with klipsch is that even their flagship reference speaker, the RF-7 which costs about 100 grand is still made of (although it does look good!) wood veneer.
wala na bang tawad sa synergy and reference lines considering its not made of
real wood?
i bet the klipsch distributor will make
more profit kung mas mura :) baka mahabol

guys, nakita na ba ninyo yung DTX (dai ichi made) SB 620? Kamukhang kamuka ng Klipsch SB-2. According to the salesman sa upscale, dai ichi daw nag su supply ng drivers for the SB-2 to Klipsch. The price is 5.7k
(http://home.earthlink.net/~mojako/images/sb-2.jpg)
yup! magkamukha nga pero i think the crossover components of the dtx are not the same, in fact, inferior to the real klipsch models. i find the dtx sb-620 difficult to drive compared to the klipsch. IMHO, manipis yung mids compared to the real thing. just my 2 cents...

its a very transparent bookshelf speaker. unforgiving to a bad source, frontend. i use it, once in awhile with my "all chrome, rivo special" dynaco st-70 amp.
sounds terrible before amp reaches 15 minutes of warm up. after 30 minutes, its just remarkable how the mids start to come out and the highs become more mellow. like most klipsch models, its unbeatable with brass-heavy, jazz like Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, Miles Davis, John coltrane, Bill Holman, Count Basie, and similar stuff.
mabuhay ang klipsch!
Post by: mojako on May 04, 2003 at 09:53 PM
actually mas mura sa mga dealer ng DTX, kasi according to them may price protection daw sila, so mas mahal daw sa daiichi showroom. And wala akong nakitang center na match dun sa SB-620

Daichi previously manufactured Klipsch speaker for a short time period, however they have not pass the quality standard set by Klipsch thus they loss the contract.
We took sample of the said models and have it tested, they sound different and the materials used was not the same.
To those who sell a Klipsch look alike, please refrain from claiming it is the same as Klipsch speakers. THEY ARE NOT. To the buyers, please don't be fooled by this rumor...Klipsch doesn't have any manufacturing arrangement in the Philippines.
Moreover, the design of Klipsch speaker are protected with patent right, any manufacturing company or stores that are selling items that have the same design shall be dealt with by us, legally.
This is a warning...makakuha lang kami ng picture dun sa mga store na nagbebenta sila ng items na ganon sarado sila

I have a pair of Klipsch Quartet's...late 80s hand-me-downs. I got it from my uncle in Hongkong and it's been a few years since I last heard it. Will probably hook it up soon....
I took a better look at it after finally getting around to taking it out of the attic. I'm mistaken...it's a pair of Klipsch Forte's. The veneer is still in great shape and the cones are perfect too.... Can't wait to hook it up...

I'm also a klipsch speaker owner, my HT setup is:
RF-3 II front
RC-3 II center
SB-2 surround (I wasn't able to find the RS-3 II)
I'm using an onkyo tx-sr800 to drive these and onkyo dv-757 for the player.
Performance:
Audio, its like having the performance in front of you.
Video, with high sensitivity, dialogs are very clear, but not harsh or too bright.
Post by: odyopayl on Jul 08, 2003 at 05:28 PM
I am now owner of Klipsch speakers, now I have SB-2 as my main speakers paired with SC-1 center channel and guess what I bought the DTX SB-620 (the look alike), to be my sorrounds. I compared it back to back with the real one, malayo ang tunog. I am not convinced, i check and open both speakers to see what's inside, still there is a big difference cheap ang mga components ng imitation, no wonder they are trying to copy it talaga.
Now I am planning to buy RB-3 to be my new main speakers. KLIPSCH IS THE BEST ON IT'S RANGE!
I have tried B&W 303 and Wharfedale Diamond 8.4, still SB-2 is the best.
Soundstage!
Sensitivity!
Now I'm ready for a Tube Amplifier!!!

Actually I need to replace the speaker console. The original version has a problem with hissing, and it didn't have an off switch or a head phone jack. In the US they offered a $50 replacement, but since I'm in the Philippines I didn't know where to get a replacement.
Is there a way I can get one here?

I own an original Promedia v2.400 5.1 THX speakers for 2 and a half years now for the PC. I bought them from the US pa since I couldn't find one selling here. Ever since I saw the PC Gamer review saying that it was the best speakers I just had to get them.

Well if we are going to convert the parts into Philippine Peso, that would mean that the cost range from Php 3,000 to 4,000.
We are currently selling Promedia 2.1 at regular price of Php10,800. But since naka promo ito you can have it Php9,990 or Php10,500 at 6 months 0% interest.

Hi Superman,
We welcome home auditioning of RB-3II, however depende po sa location nyo po....
Theres another solution we could offer to you...you could test it here in our office. The room here is not accoustically treated, thus it will sound as it should be in a typical home setting.

Post by: Audioboy on Sep 09, 2003 at 06:07 PM
Pros:
Tight and clean bass, mid-high range clarity
Cons:
too much detail may cause listening fatigue.
(need to be paired with highs taming gears)
Note: The speakers are one day old.

Klipsch has inked with Regal Cinemas in 1998 which made Klipsch the Largest Loudspeaker Provider to the worlds largest cinema chain....
The newest Hard Rock chain which is the Hard Rock Vault in Orlando, Florida, has 200 Klipsch Speaker as their standard, setting electric mood an attraction.
Hawlett Packard and Alienware has Promedia as their choosen speaker in their high performance computers.
And the most important FACT:
Klipsch ranks #1 in US market share in the specialty retail channel (2002). Beating brands such as B&W BOSE, Velodyne, POLK and Paradign.

In order to fully appreciate the beauty, finess and strength of the klipsch speakers...IMHO ;)you need to audition it with tube-based systems.
If you go to the standard dealers, like AAVID they are used with almost low end solid state receivers...OUCH!!!!! masakit makinig...very revealing. That is why these speakers get a bad rap...horns sound honky, forward...etc!..I don't think so! It is the supporting gear that you hear.
But to listen to a KLIPSCH with good tube amps (even Php 10-15k vintage tube gear) will result in total different litening experience.
In Wiredstate one of the GURUS - Prof. TOOBS has a old mid-level klipsch driven by a 3/4 watts (LESS THAN 1 WATT) DIY amp (which cost a GRAND TOTAL of Php 11,000...mahal.....na mahal niya ang amp)...all I can say is...you have to hear his system ...and you will believe it!
Even the generic KLIPSCH...DTX yata...in Master HYPERTRIODE's place sound really good...again with the correct tube gear.
A DAVID WILSON - WATT PUPPY (20,000 usd) speaker system driven by the same ss receiver you will hear with what is normally connected to the KLIPSCH demo...I am almost sure will sound ...like the amp....
Another thing I learned about these speaker is that they are very versatile. I have had high end minimonitor...perfect for voice, chamber music and orchestra...but put a Phill Collins live concert...kulang!...but with klipsch...may laban.
Enjoy the audition...that is one of the best part of this hobby. Remember you are the customer, they need you more, you do not need them.

Thanks for your comment, however we would like to clarify the issue.
It is long belief that Klipsch speakers are good for tube amp only...however this is not the case in today's current situation.
Klipsch speaker's are good in both tube or solid state amp....so its a matters of listener's ear to do the choice.
Klipsch is an old brand dating back from 1945....and hand in hand became famous at the golden age of tube amp.
Solid state technology back then was in still in a sorry state. However with the great improvements in technology, it can match the tube amp in bringing the best of Klipsch speakers.
There are models of Klipsch speaker that is really develop for tube amp...this is the case for Klipschorn, La scala and other Legend series speakers...since this are designed in the era of the great days of tube amp. This models mentioned, are still available with a price ranging from US$400 to US$3,500 a piece. We are still happy to say that many still purchasing this great speakers.
As for the case of the Synergy and Reference this are newly designed models, where technology of Solid state is already credible. Being a distributor, we have seen a lot of buyers comment to us that they are happy with their Klipsch speakers. Some are using it in tube but most using it in solid state amp like NAD, ARCAM, Harman/Kardon, Lexicon, ACURUS and Aragon, Proceed and even Sunfire.
Klipsch is a progessive audio design company, thus they follow the technology change without changing their principle that their speakers should sound great in every aspect.
I think the only thing that makes a difference with Klipsch speakers if the amp is designed "Japanese" or "Western". According to AES there difference with the Japanese...they process their listening senses in the left hemisphere of their brain while Westener and other parts of the worl listen to the right hemisphere. Though the listening difference is not yet further studied
Post by: afterglow on Nov 19, 2003 at 12:18 PM
Also, the golden age of Klipsch speakers was during the time when tubes were a lot more popular (albeit declining already). This made Klipsch speakers legendary among tube aficionados.
That being said, the classic Klipsch speakers (haven't listened to the newer ones) do perform well with SS. I have a pair of Forte's from the late 70s and I'm using a SS Parasound amp and a tube Foreplay preamp and it sounds great. However, I'm still saving for a nice 2A3 SET....

I am not saying that KLIPSCH was designed for tube amps. The newer klipsch come with matching center channel speakers, so that makes them designed for solid state receivers (specifically HT receivers)
I have gone to some audiostores carrying KLIPSCH, when I was lookng at the RF-5, of the 3 stores I visited they where hooked up to "cheap" HT receivers. They have the slam/bang for HT but definitely not HI-END finese for audio. The salesmen all put slam-bang DVD's to sell it. When you try it in plain vanilla stereo mode...a lot is lacking with the set-ups.
The hi-efficiency of KLIPSCH with bad sounding amps will result in a magnification of the roughness of the sound of the amp. IMHO! I think the efficiency and design results in ruthless transparency that can be both good (for good amps) and bad (for bad amps).
The amps you mentioned above are not exactly cheap...they are rated and very refined. That is what I mean, klipsch are usually store demoed with bad electronics. In your store what amp do you have on the klipsch? Klipsch are now always hooked up to an AVR.
But if you are selling the klipsch for 2 channel audio...hook it up to a good receiver/amp in order for it to sound good! But then a lot audio stores for that matter hook up their stuff mainly for convenience and pressure of marketing/sales without properly maximizing the synergy of a system. The KLIPSCH with the cheaper low powered AVR can sound really loud....and only that...IMHO

We clearly understand your stand....we reply to your comment to clarify it, since most of the competitor used this issue of "Klipsch being a speaker mainly designed for tube."
Klipsch is a great speaker which we all agreed...
However, if such issue is not clarified, will discourage other people who want to enjoy great music who has existing Solid state amp from using Klipsch..
We hope you understand our position and we welcome very much your comment on the Klipsch brand.

Currently the Klipsch Reference RF-15 is showcase at Spectra...
Take time to listen to it...however, don't know if they are already brake-in by them....
And soon to hit the stores are the 3rd Generation Reference series
Post by: gren on Feb 20, 2004 at 07:41 AM
the k-horn also gives an entirely different sonic character from what i'm used to. its not bad, but i still prefer brit speakers. i just wish i could take the bass reproduction of the 15 and put it on my MA.
i was almost tempted to get it, but add surrounds and centre = blown budget three times over.
and to think the placement in spectra is bad (sucks is more like it, haha), i wonder how the 15 would sound in a large open room.

The SF-1 makes efficient use of a magnetically shielded, 6.5-inch graphite-injected woofer and a 1-inch aluminum diaphragm compression driver coupled to a Klipsch 5-inch square Tractrix® Horn, creating realistic spatial imaging and smooth, uncolored sound reproduction. A large, flared port extends the SF-1’s deep, authoritative bass without turbulence noise or dynamic compression.
Other class-leading design features, such as high-definition crossover networks and internally braced enclosures help ensure peak performance from every SF-1, while the unique venting system of its cast-polymer woofer frame cools the voice coil to enhance reliability.
The SF-1’s enclosure employs the highest-quality MDF construction and is finished in jet ash vinyl veneer. This floorstander also features a “floating,” or suspended, grille design, which minimizes image-impairing sonic reflections.
The SF-1’s surprising high level of smooth and seamless sound reproduction creates a knock-your-socks off experience that will impress your friends and provide years of high-quality audio entertainment.

The Show Must Go On: Historic Picture Palace gets Revitalized with Klipsch
by Sarah Knight
Unlike many historic picture palaces, Cameo Cinemas has survived the test of time. Since first opening in 1935, this theater has changed ownership five times and closed its doors twice. But a 2003 makeover, including new Klipsch loudspeakers, and re-launch has given the Cameo a renewed energy that takes it well beyond its initial heyday.
Located amongst the mountainous Dandenong Ranges in the quaint township of Belgrave, Australia, the cherished Cameo is once again a focus of social activity for the community. Presenting a mix of first-run arthouse films, quality blockbusters and Hollywood classics, this revitalized cinema has something for everyone.
To accommodate its variety of films, the Cameo now features four theaters. In order to give moviegoers the most dynamic sound experience available, Atlab Image and Sound Technology installed best-of-class Klipsch professional cinema systems in each auditorium.
With 323 seats, Cinema 1 is the Cameo's largest and oldest auditorium. It features three THX®-certified KPT-942-T behind-the-screen loudspeakers, 14 THX®-certified KPT-8001 surrounds and two THX®-approved KPT-684 high-output, bass-reflex subwoofers. Despite its new sound system, projection equipment and seating, Cinema 1 will retain its historic foot-warmers and a 48-seat section of its renowned and instantly recognizable red leather chairs.
Cinemas 2 and 3 are also equipped to deliver amazing performances by utilizing KPT-904 mid-sized behind-the-screen loudspeakers, KPT-8001 surrounds and a KPT-684 subwoofer. Even the small 65-seat Cinema 4 has enough power to blow audiences away. It incorporates three space-saving KPT-325 behind-the-screen loudspeakers, eight KPT-8001 surrounds and a compact, high-output KPT-484 subwoofer.
According to Atlab's Senior Technical Manager Bob Lucas, Klipsch cinema systems are his company's best selling loudspeakers. “With Klipsch speakers, the sound on dialog is very natural without the typical horn ‘croak' that a lot of other cinema speakers have. The bass is strong, the high frequencies are not harsh and metallic, and, at high levels, Klipsch has great impact without sounding loud or hurting your ears.”
“I first heard Klipsch's cinema systems at Malco's Majestic Theater in Memphis. The Majestic has a number of top manufacturers' cinema systems, which provides a good opportunity to compare them against each other. After critical listening, I felt that the Klipsch speakers sounded the best. They definitely stood out from the rest.”
To preserve the spirit of its past, the Cameo retains its finest historical features from the Art Deco period, together with decorative flourishes from its post-1970s life. The cinema foyer has also kept its 1980s chrome spotlights and mirrored tiles, but with additional chrome and glass features. Reeded wallpaper has been used throughout to create a fine bamboo effect along with a cream and brown color scheme.
Even the Cameo's snack bar has a distinctive look, with glass and chrome features, and old-style confectionary and sweets from the local area. In addition, the cinema features a new sidewalk café that offers indoor and outdoor seating along with a variety of light meals, snacks, desserts and great coffee.
Because of its new owner Eddie Tamir, the Cameo is one of the few architecturally notable, decorative cinemas still operating in Victoria; the second smallest but most densely populated state in Australia.
Tamir purchased the Cameo in September 2003 because he wanted to return it to its former glory and make it part of the resurgence of the area by providing audiences with movies that make them laugh, cry and commune.
“I'm drawn to old cinemas that resonate with the laughter and tears of audiences who have been moved by films in the past. The Cameo is a cinema that has always engaged the community, and I'm allowing this tradition to continue. There's a magic in the forests of the Dandenongs, and this is a fitting environment for the magic of film.”
By breathing new life into this treasured cinema, Tamir has proven that the show must go on. And if you're visiting the Land Down Under anytime soon, be sure to add the Cameo to your list of stops.

View the new Klipsch print advertisement featuring John Hiatt.
A tenacious Midwestern work ethic and a bottomless compulsion to perform have kept John Hiatt writing, recording and touring for more than three decades. With 18 solo albums, countless production credits and a Grammy award behind him, Hiatt is just as excited about music now as when he first came to Nashville in 1969. Maybe more so.
“I really want to play — perform,” Hiatt says. “I have a stronger desire to do it now probably than ever, really. There is no seduction of the road … that is completely gone, so the 22 hours that I am not on the stage — that's just work. I mean that is just work.”
He's likeable and familiar. He seems relaxed in a simple black suit and white dress shirt. No tie. The photo shoot is over, make-up has been removed and the guitar is back in its case next to Hiatt.
“Well, you have to have the inspiration,” he says. That's really what it boils down to. I mean, if that ain't there, you're pretty well screwed.”
And that's how John Hiatt comes up with song. That's how Bonnie Raitt got Thing Called Love. That's what brought B.B. King and Clapton their Grammy-winning Riding with the King.
“It just kind of comes or it doesn't. I mean the muse has to show up — at least for me. Something has to set it off. Sometimes just the melody will be enough to get you going, you know? You come up with a melody and something will appear or somebody will say something and that will set you off. I think the truth is the truth, you know, and if you write about what you know it's going to ring true. I think people can recognize that.”
Hiatt likes talking about music, his vocation of 34 years. He worked at a McDonalds, briefly, followed by a stock room job at an insurance company. But that was before the age of 18. After performing in a succession of bands during high school, Hiatt moved from his hometown of Indianapolis to Nashville. His third and final job would be a songwriter. He spent the early 70s penning hits for Conway Twitty, Three Dog Night and others. On a salary of $25 a week “the first four or five years were lean and mean.”
He's heard every question more than twice, but he somehow listens without groaning and seems to genuinely care about his answers. He's asked every question more than twice, too. Sessions at West 54th, the PBS concert series that Hiatt hosted, has made him as good at giving interviews as he was at conducting them.
“I just wrote this song called Cold River. I wrote it in Austin. Every time I go to Austin on a tour stop, I write a song. And we stay in the same hotel by the Colorado River and that river always inspires a song. It's the river. I mean, I think it's because it comes from way out west and it carries so much of the country with it that there is so much in that river. I sat down and started playing the guitar and, you know, it's just the feeling. It just comes from the feeling. It just sort of bubbles up and next thing you know I was telling this story about a couple from another time. He was a pool hall hustler and she was a hooker. She got pregnant and they left the baby by the river and a widow found the baby and they went on to Chicago. I didn't even know the story was there. But that is the kind of stuff that happens if you are open to it.”
“Are you thinking of a particular project you will use Cold River on?” I ask. “I'm going to make a solo acoustic record. In fact, I am going to try to get it out by late spring — May 2004. Just me and a guitar. I've always been messing with it and it just seemed like the time was right. And I got a few crucial pieces of recording gear together that are sort of old and the sound I'm getting out of them got me all excited to do this.”
Hiatt works fast when it comes to recording. Beneath This Gruff Exterior with his band, The Goners, was recorded in just eight days. The older he gets, the less he cares about trying to share ideas. He is more interested in capturing the moment.
“I typically work pretty fast,” Hiatt says. “I might spend a couple of weeks on a project but pretty much ever since, I'd say Riding with the King, the approach has been going and trying to capture a performance rather than create a studio creation … ideas are a dime a dozen. I'd rather capture a magic performance — a moment, a musical moment.”
When it comes to the business of music, Hiatt describes himself as being “on the outside looking in.” He has nothing to do with the corporate world, but I don't sense any animosity toward the record companies either. Hiatt and the other people who love music got out of the “business” a long time ago. He believes the music business is for the bottom-liners. They have been running it for a long while now. It's their domain so let them have it. The music folks are creating a whole new kind of industry.
“I think it's a great time just because there is so much [music] available,” Hiatt says. You know, you can find any kind of music you want to find. It's unprecedented really, in that regard. You can find any type of ethnic music, any kind of world music, any kind of … there are kids making music that's never been made before.”
Hiatt has great respect for his audiences. He looks up to them. He says “I've just always felt like they deserve my best.” He is not sure if it was growing up around Midwestern sensibilities or his father's influence that taught him to appreciate the people who attend his concerts. Probably both.
“I have always tried to give people the best I can do, you know. So, I think that comes from my father and I think that comes from that era. That was just the way you did things, you know. And also, there is a certain tenacity, just the never give up kind of thing. Even if they tell you are never going to be able to do it, just kind of go ahead anyway. So I sort of have that. I call it Midwestern tenacity. It takes me a long time to do things, but I am tenacious. I won't give up. I'm slow, but I am tenacious.”

KLIPSCH AT CES
REFERENCE PREMEIRE
This BEAUTIFUL new series will be available next year. It will have a 1.75” compression driver and dual 10” NOMEX drivers. We will have a few different exotic veneers including the rosewood above. There will be a family built around this one. It will replace what we know today as the RF-5 and RF-7’s and their family. What we have planned is a bookshelf, center, at least one more tower, one pr of surrounds and 2 subwoofers. All models will have 8” woofers except the model above and maybe one beyond it and they all incorporate the professional 1.75” compression driver we use in cinema products. The fascia does not hide the veneer nor will the grille. You will be able to see the veneer from all sides. The shape is sexy rounding off in the back and having aluminum adjustable legs and feet. The speaker is a little larger than the RF-7 and much heavier. I need some feed back from you on what veneers you would like to see. Expected availability is next year.
KES 6100 THX select system is a fully closed loop 6.1 channel system. It incorporates the NEW Faroudja DCDi transcoder chip that up-converts all video inputs to full 1080i component video. This systems includes 6 fully horn loaded plasma style satellites with titanium horns and aluminum 5 ¼” woofers, a powerful dual 8” subwoofer with aluminum drivers that includes a 900 watt discrete class a/b amplifier (100 per satellite and 300 for the sub) with all channels driven and a multiroom out for a 2nd zone. The remote unit incorporates a tuner and a universal DVD payer that plays SACD, DVD-A, MP3 and others. Last but not least it is controlled by a pre-programmed and learning remote and last but not least is RS-232 full 2 way controllable (Crestron & AMX) and comes with all the THX monster cable to set it up in the box that make this truly a Klipsch Entertainment Solution - target price $4,000 target cost $2,400. This system truly ROCKS. It will be perfect as a main sound system, a secondary great room or bedroom system. It will be available in the Fall.
The RVX-42 and RVX-54 Plasma Solutions- Well here they are. Everyone has waited for a good looking and good sounding plasma speaker. Well here we are. The 24” tall RVX-42 is a 2- way satellite with dual 4” woofers and a 1” titanium compression driver. The mounts are extensive for the satellite, they include j-box mounting, keyhole brackets and ¼” 20MM inserts for omni-mount style brackets and includes a stand that is multi mountable. The RVX-54 incorporates 4 – 5 ¼” woofers and 1” compression driver. They will both come in Silver like the Reference Satellites and the enclosures for both are single piece aluminum extrusions. They actually rival the bookshelf and floor standing Reference models in performance. Target price for the 42 is Retail $450 each and target cost $225 each. The 54 has a target Retail of 1500 with a target cost of $750. Expected by August.
RF-10 System – This system with include 4 models, RF-10 dual 4 ½” floor stander with 1” compression driver (target price $500 per pr), RB-10 single 4” Bookshelf and a 1” compression driver (target price $250 per pr), RC-10 dual 4” center with a 1” titanium compression driver (target price $200 ea) and last but not least a rear surround with a single 4” with dual 1” titanium compression drivers (target price 300 per pr). These are designed to hit those price points needed to replace the 1 and .5 series of Synergy but outperform them with Reference content. They are expected by the Fall.
RSX-3’s (Cinema 6)- The introduction of the smallest of the Ref sat family is finally here. The RSX-3’s have a ¾” titanium compression driver and 3 ½” woofers. They have the same color choices of the others of Blk and Silver. You can see how much smaller they are than the RSX-4 and RSX-5 also in the picture. They incorporate all the same advantages as the existing but also have the ability to mount directly to a J-box. They will come as a master pack of 5 like the Quintet. Targeted cost $300 Targeted Retail $600, this gives you a $950 retail including the RW-8 or an $800 retail including the SWS sub.
THX ULTRA 2 SYSTEM – This was the talk of the show, at CES and CEDIA. Our new THX Ultra 2 System brings real cinema sound home by using the same high-performance technology as Klipsch’s renowned professional cinema systems.
A true THX Ultra 2 system is a 7.1 configuration including three KL-650-THX LCRs, two KL-525-THX LCRs, 2 KS-525-THX surrounds, two KW-120-THX subwoofers and one KA-1000-THX subwoofer amplifier. However, these models were built for ultimate versatility and any combination of the sonically matched LCR speakers will deliver outstanding performance.
The system in its largest configuration has a retail of $10,750 and a cost of $4300. The release date is March 21st. Oh and by the way it was the only system the THX booth would play during the CES show.
At closing Ces was a HUGE success. We won CES Innovations 2003 Design and Engineering for the RW Subwoofers, Cinema 8 system, THX ULTRA 2 system, GMX-A2.1 system, ProMedia Ultra 5.1 system and last but not least the KES-6100-THX and have more new products coming. It is just plain exciting to be a KLIPSCH dealer!

We are keeping Promedia line due to "Political" reason and not because of the margin.

Sorry dude, we want as much possible to match the price in the U.S however, since we bring in our product thru legal means, the taxes/duties and VAT, make it impossible to sell at that price range.
We are keeping Promedia line due to "Political" reason and not because of the margin.
Oh, I see. If I was to get the Promedia 5.1 only, how much? Thanks.

Thieves stole $700 worth of car audio gear from Zach Williams of San Diego, California. But thanks to a creative vision and high-performance Klipsch ProMedia loudspeakers, he was able to construct an audio system that costs way less and sounds a lot better than his SUV's previous setup.
After his speakers and amp vanished, Zach scheduled an appointment with a car audio shop to get a replacement estimate, only to discover he would have to drive his Isuzu Rodeo for two weeks without sound. Finding this unacceptable, he began considering his options and remembered the leftover Klipsch ProMedia 4.1 computer speakers he had since upgrading to a ProMedia 5.1 system. Then it became a matter of some good old-fashioned ingenuity and a trip to the electronics store to get his install project rolling.
Using a 500-watt AC/DC inverter and an inventive wiring scheme, Zach was able to successfully put the five-piece THX®-certified ProMedia 4.1 system and a supplemental Klipsch SWS subwoofer into his vehicle. He positioned a satellite underneath the front seats and mounted the remaining two satellites in the rear corners. The system's subwoofer and SWS are placed against the back seat so that rear passengers can experience the true meaning of deep, driving bass.
“The end result was better than I had imagined,” said Zach. “The ProMedia 4.1 system sounds way better than the Orion setup I originally had in my truck.”
Zach also said that this ProMedia system delivers more than enough power to this enclosed space. “I run the sub dial at 10 percent and the volume knob at 30 percent and that's about all I can bear. The output of this system is phenomenal.”
According to Zach, when he called the car audio shop to cancel his appointment they told him he was crazy for what he had done. So he made a trip to the shop to show them just how crazy. “When I demonstrated the system for them they tried to hide their amazement, but didn't do a very good job,” he said.
He also said the guys at the shop tried to tell him that the ProMedia could not compete with a higher-end car audio system so he cranked it up and they were absolutely floored.
Zach has even started a “ProMedia car audio” craze among his friends. A co-worker also installed a 4.1 system in his car by putting the sub in the trunk and removing the back housings from the satellites and positioning them inside the door panels and rear dash.
Not only does Zach use Klipsch ProMedia speakers at home and in his vehicle, he also prefers them at work. As the owner of MonsterBox PC, a company that builds high-performance and high-speed computer systems, Zach sells the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and Ultra 5.1 as an upgrade for his company's PC packages. “We sell Klipsch at MonsterBox because they are the best,” he said.
Maybe Zach will start a new trend, but in any case, it just goes to show you that with the right imagination anyone can enjoy the ultimate sound experience in their vehicle. Road trip anyone?
Disclaimer: Klipsch ProMedia systems are equipped with high-powered amplifiers, therefore, when not properly handled or installed they pose the risk of electrocution. Klipsch does not recommend that anyone, except those highly experienced with electronics, attempt to retrofit any powered products such as Klipsch ProMedia systems. Any modification made to a Klipsch product voids the company warranty.

VANCOUVER (September 4, 2003) — Possibly one of North America's most advanced entertainment venues, The Centre for Performing Arts in Vancouver features high-performance Klipsch loudspeakers and sophisticated digital cinema products that create what the facility's designers call the most unique, realistic surround sound experience for both film and live performances.
The Centre adds a new dimension to the theater experience by utilizing dual 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound systems powered by Klipsch cinema and stage loudspeakers, high-definition digital imaging and projection equipment and laser lights. This versatile 81,000 square-foot auditorium can be easily converted to accommodate live performances or video presentations.
To fill this large, 1,843-seat environment with dynamic and lifelike sound, Philip Cacayorin, directing producer of digital media for Dog House Media, Ltd., – the company that produces The Centre's audiovisual needs – chose Klipsch to be the facility's exclusive loudspeaker provider.
“I have been a Klipsch fan forever and truly believe in their design philosophies,” said Cacayorin. “Klipsch's ability to reproduce and deliver higher frequencies accurately to a large audience is essential for our type of dimensional sound environment.”
A multitude of Klipsch cinema and stage loudspeakers deliver The Centre's vibrant and crystal-clear sound. Cacayorin developed the dual 5.1-channel systems using three THX -approved KPT-535 behind-the-screen systems, three THX-approved KPT-535-4-T behind-the-screen systems, six THX-approved KPT-684 subwoofers, six KPT-484 subwoofers, 14 KPT-250 surrounds and three customized Klipsch products designed to meet some of The Centre's specialized needs.
“Audiences who have never experienced Klipsch will be amazed by our dynamic range and realistic reproduction of sound,” said Lance Jones, senior vice president of corporate development for Klipsch.
In addition to building the sound system, Cacayorin has designed innovative products that allow audiences to experience all the vitality, intensity and passion of a live performance. His virtual reality microphones connect to a Dolby Digital encoder where the performance is converted and played back in Dolby Digital 5.1 as the show progresses.
“The Centre is among the first in North America to feature cutting-edge digital cinema technologies in a theatrical environment,” said Cacayorin. “With its impressive and revolutionary sound system, every seat inside The Centre provides a total aural immersion experience.”
Built in 1995 and originally named the Ford Centre for Performing Arts, The Centre primarily offers theater, music and dance, but has the ability to host high-definition movie premieres, the production of digital content for future distribution, live digital satellite concert broadcasting and high-profile television and sporting events.
The Centre is centrally located in downtown Vancouver, mid-block on Homer Street, across from Vancouver's Library Square.

The Synergy Series uses advanced technologies in each of its loudspeakers to create a dynamic sound that goes beyond anything listeners could imagine at such reasonable price points. Using the same high-performance materials as its SF-2 predecessor, the SF-1 delivers an amazing sound from an even smaller cabinet and even more affordable price.
The SF-1 makes efficient use of a magnetically shielded, 6.5-inch graphite-injected woofer and a 1-inch aluminum diaphragm compression driver coupled to a Klipsch 5-inch square Tractrix® Horn, creating realistic spatial imaging and smooth, uncolored sound reproduction. A large, flared port extends the SF-1’s deep, authoritative bass without turbulence noise or dynamic compression.
Other class-leading design features, such as high-definition crossover networks and internally braced enclosures help ensure peak performance from every SF-1, while the unique venting system of its cast-polymer woofer frame cools the voice coil to enhance reliability.
The SF-1’s enclosure employs the highest-quality MDF construction and is finished in jet ash vinyl veneer. This floorstander also features a “floating,” or suspended, grille design, which minimizes image-impairing sonic reflections.
The SF-1’s surprising high level of smooth and seamless sound reproduction creates a knock-your-socks off experience that will impress your friends and provide years of high-quality audio entertainment.

I thought u said, we should not compare your overpriced Klipsch to our Lower priced Logitechs? Wouldn't a shoot-out be kinda illogical?

The shoot out was to settle the comparison issue...as for the price of Klipsch Promedia...sorry large portion of it goes to the Gorvernment.
My comment was not meant to insult you dude...we have previously planing a shoot -out prior to your reply to Sir Baron...however, we believed it is time to correct some misconception regarding Promedia...if you want to included Video logic...then thats fine with us.

I am not a logitech seller. it's not my max budget either. If i can afford to buy two branded business pcs priced 85K each at the same time, i dont see why i can't afford your klipsch. Im just afraid that it will die and lose my hard earned money. I dont work, just an entrepreneur. PCs are just my hobby.
so, are they selling better quality here? it's different? if so, that's good news for the asians.
What store are u from? who knows, i might drop by[or probably did already - when i auditioned klipsch] and buy one time. from u ;)

Compared it against an RW-12 (12" woofer compared to the 10" on the RW-10), the RW-12 had more volume and slam, but when it came to music, it's a tad slow. As Jim said, it is perfect for movies, and with a bit of adjustment, quite decent with music (vice versa with RW-10).
Jim also set up two RW-10s to run together, and I'd have to say that it beat the RW-12 in terms of output. Slam was finally there and the experience was compatible to being in a movie theatre. Perhaps if I'm crazy enough (or budget permitting), I'd get myself a second RW-10.
That or wait for the RSW-10 to come over and demo that instead (hint hint redkoji :>).
All in all, I can heartily recommend the RW-10 for people who prefer more accurate bass output than slam. Its priced equivalently to a velodyne CHT-10 (which I can recommend for people who prefer movies).
This is a paid advertisement by Klipsch.
Just kidding :> Really.

iPod-based home speaker system
By Dan Frakes
Summary
Rating: (out of 5) **4**
Pros: Best sound of any iPod-specific speaker system we?ve tested, including excellent bass and midrange; convenient iPod Control Dock; RF remote; exceptional satellite build quality.
Cons: Dock base doesn?t sync iPod; poor remote layout; treble slightly recessed.
Price as rated:
Company: Klipsch, www.Klipsch.com
Many of the portable and ?desktop? speaker systems we?ve reviewed at Playlist provide a special dock-connector base that lets you dock your iPod to sync with your computer, charge your iPod, and obtain higher-quality audio (via the dock connector?s line-level audio circuitry). However, as we?ve noted in these reviews, portable/desktop systems rarely sound as good as full-size speaker systems such as the various subwoofer/satellite packages we?ve tested. On the other hand, because these latter systems are generally ?computer? speaker systems?made to be compatible with any audio source?they don?t provide the same dock-connector port benefits. If you want to use your iPod with one of these systems and get these benefits, you need to use Apple?s $39 dock base, which provides a dock connector port and a line-level audio output.
At least, that was the case until now. Klipsch?s new iFi speaker system is the first full-size, sub/sat audio system specifically designed for the iPod, complete with a dock cradle. But it?s also the first in a few other areas, as well. It?s the first iPod-specific home speaker system from a traditional loudspeaker company?Klipsch has been in the business for nearly 60 years and has a reputation for producing quality home audio speakers. And at $400, it?s also the first iPod-specific speaker system to break the $300 barrier set by Bose?s $300 SoundDock.
As a result of all these ?firsts,? the iFi has received a good amount of attention, and been the object of much speculation, since its announcement in January of this year. Does it live up to the hype (and the price)? We got one of the first units off the production line; read on for our impressions.
Note: Playlist has a policy of reviewing only the version of a product that consumers will be able to buy. The iFi unit we received was part of a pilot production run of 25 units; Klipsch has assured us that the pilot production run is identical to the mass production run in every way?sonically, electronically, and cosmetically?except for one cosmetic marking on the included speaker cables. (Specifically, a black mark indicating which wire is for the left channel and which is for the right.) Nonetheless, we?ve requested a final shipping version, as well, and if it differs in any way from our current sample, we?ll update this review accordingly.
Big Package
The first thing that struck me when I received the iFi package was the size?apart from the Logitech Z-5500 Digital, a 5.1-channel, THX-certified home theater system, the iFi comes in the largest shipping box of any ?computer? speaker system I?ve seen. Granted, the iFi came triple-packed, but the actual iFi box is still a monster. The reason for this is, of course, that the iFi system itself is larger than most iPod/computer speakers.
The iFi is comprised of four main pieces, all silver/gray in color: a subwoofer, two satellite speakers, and a Control Dock. The largest piece, the 14.5" x 10.5" x 11.5" subwoofer, houses an 8" speaker driver (protected by a silver-colored metal grill) and a 200-Watt class-D amplifier that powers the sub and the two satellite speakers. The back of the subwoofer includes left/right speaker terminals, an AC cable jack, a 1/8" auxiliary audio line-in port, and the port to which you connect the cable for the iFi?s Control Dock. It also includes a vertical port for the vented sub enclosure.
The iFi?s two satellite speakers (left and right) are silver versions of the company?s new Reference Series RSX-3 satellites. At 8.5"H x 4.75"W x 5.5"D, they?re larger than the satellites found on most iPod/computer sub/sat systems, but even more significant is their weight?at over 4 pounds each (not including the speaker grills), they?re much heftier than you would expect. Just over 10 ounces of that is due to the weighted base, but the rest is the plastic and metal speaker itself, which includes a 3.5" midrange woofer (made of Klipsch?s ?Cerametallic? material) and a .75" titanium dome/horn tweeter. I was surprised by how solid the satellites are?certainly more so than other ?computer? speakers I?ve seen.
I also like the integrated stand found on each speaker. The 5.75" x 4" oval base is connected to the speaker via a metal ball-and-socket joint that allows the base to be rotated to virtually any orientation?the base even has slots for wall mounting. And unlike most removable speaker grills, which connect to the speaker via plastic posts, the RSX-3?s wraparound grills connect via seven small magnets. Finally, unlike the inexpensive spring-loaded clips most computer speakers provide for connecting speaker cables, the iFi?s satellites use quality five-way binding posts (although the subwoofer?s speaker terminals are spring-loaded clips).
Finally, we come to the feature of the iFi generating the most buzz in iPod circles: the Control Dock. Approximately 5.25" deep and just over 4" wide, with a solid rubber base to keep it from sliding around a desk or shelf, the plastic Control Dock provides a dock connector slot towards the rear that holds your iPod. Five inserts are provided to accommodate 10GB and 15GB; 20GB; 30GB; and 40GB models, as well as any iPod mini. (The Control Dock fits the 60GB iPod photo without an insert.) When your iPod is in the Control Dock, it provides a line-level audio signal to the iFi, and the iFi returns the favor by charging the iPod. Unfortunately, unlike some of the other ?dockable? systems we?ve reviewed, the iFi doesn?t connect to your computer via USB or FireWire, so your iPod isn?t synchronized with iTunes; you need to sync your iPod with your computer separately. (Since the iFi is designed to be a full-size home speaker system, rather than a computer accessory, this isn?t a major shortcoming, in my opinion?the iFi isn?t likely to be near your computer.)
The front of the Control Dock provides a Volume dial, Subwoofer button, Mute/Standby button, and what Klipsch calls the ?Light Bar??a Knight Rider-like row of indicator lights. (If you didn?t watch TV in the 80s, this means the lights are arranged in a horizontal line.) The Volume dial is silver, just like the Control Dock, and is recessed inside the Dock so that only a smile-shaped section of the edge is showing, which you turn with a finger or thumb. As you increase the volume, the Light Bar?s illumination shifts to the right to indicate the current volume level. The Volume dial is also used to adjust the subwoofer level: You press the Subwoofer button and then turn the dial; the Light Bar displays the current sub setting. The Light Bar is clearly visible from across the room when using the remote (described below), so it?s easy to keep track of the volume level?and avoid accidental volume blasts.

Review: Klipsch iFi
iPod-based home speaker system
By Dan Frakes
Summary
Rating: (out of 5) **4**
Side note: Until I became familiar with the Control Dock, I had a tendency to turn the Volume dial the wrong way. I think it?s fair to say that many people have been conditioned to think that you turn a volume dial clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease the volume. Yet the Control Dock?s Volume dial works in the opposite manner: You turn it clockwise to decrease the volume. This actually makes sense when you stop to think about it, as the dial is oriented horizontally, so ?clockwise? is also ?left,? meaning ?volume down.? However, it still took me?and several other people?a bit of time to adjust. Just goes to show you how powerful visual and motor memory can be.
If you press and release the Mute/Standby button, the iFi is muted until you press the button again; your iPod continues to play while the system is muted, just as a CD continues to play if you mute your home stereo. However, if you hold the button for more than three seconds, the iFi turns off (or, more correctly, is put into standby mode?which means it can be woken by the remote, described below) and your iPod is put into sleep mode (but continues to charge).
The Control Dock also provides a 1/8" auxiliary line-in jack. If you?re wondering about the difference between the line-in jack on the Control Dock and the one on the iFi?s subwoofer, it?s that the sub?s jack is a ?mix? input?audio from a source (such as a computer) connected to that input will play simultaneously with your iPod?whereas the jack on the Control Dock mutes your iPod when a source is plugged in.
The iFi also includes a thin, oval-shaped remote control that provides Play/Pause, Forward, Back, and Volume Up and Down buttons. (The receiver is located on the Control Dock.) As an RF (radio frequency)-based remote, it does not require that you have a clear line of sight to the Dock Base?you can even control your iPod and the system?s volume level through walls. I had no problem controlling the iFi/iPod from 15-20 feet away, through an interior wall. (You can also purchase multiple remotes for use with a single iFi, if desired.)
Side note: Although the iFi?s remote functions perfectly, I?m not a fan of its design and layout. Since the remote is completely symmetrical and its five buttons buttons are arranged in a straight line, when you pick the remote up there?s no tactile indication of which end is the front. The Play/Pause button is slightly bigger, but not enough to make it obvious by touch. (Even if you have a good enough sense of touch to figure out which button is bigger, you may still get it backwards?the Play/Pause button is at the bottom of the remote, not the top, which is where I assumed it would be.) In addition, since the buttons are in a straight line, if you don?t memorize the button layout, it?s difficult to figure out which ?pair? is Volume Up/Down and which is Forward/Back without looking at them. In other words, the remote is not intuitive?you?ll need to either memorize the button layout or look directly at the buttons each time you use it. A good remote should, in my opinion, require neither. But that?s a topic for another article.
On a related note, Klipsch revealed to Playlist that they?re currently working on a two-way remote for the iFi that includes a screen to let you view playlists, albums, and other track information for easier navigation. This would be a unique and welcome product, as the biggest limitation to the current crop of iPod remotes is their lack of any interaction with the iPod itself. This new remote should be available later this year as an optional accessory.
HiFi?
At $400, the iFi is significantly more expensive than other iPod speaker systems on the market; but then none of these other systems are billed as an ?audiophile-quality? home audio system, as Klipsch is doing with the iFi. Given these lofty claims, I tested the iFi as I would speakers for a home stereo. The iFi?s subwoofer unit was placed in the corner of a 22' x 13' listening room, approximately 1 foot from each wall?a placement that, after some testing, provided optimal bass response. The satellites were placed on 28" speaker stands approximately 7.5 feet apart and 8 feet from the primary listening location. Finally, I used high-bitrate and lossless audio files, played primarily via an iPod, but also via an AirPort Express connected to the iFi?s auxiliary input jacks. (If you generally listen to 128kbps MP3 files, you don?t need a system with this level of performance, so I didn?t test with such low-quality sources?that is, other than to verify that, yes, lower-bitrate files sound inferior to higher-bitrate ones on a good system.)
The results of my testing? Although you should take the ?audiophile-quality? claims with a grain of salt?$400 simply isn?t going to get you sound that will satisfy a picky audiophile?when compared to other iPod/computer speaker systems, the iFi is impressive.
The first thing that stands out about the iFi is the presence the system exhibits in the the bass and midrange, which makes it easy to confuse the iFi with a full-sized home audio system. And by ?presence? I don?t mean ?boom??although the iFi can produce ear-splitting volume levels, this isn?t a ?gamer? system that simply adds a boomy subwoofer and bigger amp to jack up the maximum volume and room-shaking ability. Rather, the iFi?s bass is solid and powerful without being boomy and overbearing, and there?s a richness in the midrange and lower treble that?s seldom found in ?computer? speakers. You certainly won?t hear tinny treble or recessed mids, hallmarks of many inexpensive speaker systems; instead, you?ll hear vocals that actually sound like vocals, bass guitars that sound like bass guitars, and saxophones that sound like saxophones. Everyone who heard our iFi review system was impressed, most commenting?unprompted?on how good it sounded.
If I have a criticism of the iFi?s audio reproduction, it?s with the treble detail, which is slightly recessed when compared to the midrange. In fact, this combination of rich midrange and slightly recessed upper-end detail can on certain recordings make the iFi sound a bit midrange heavy. For example, when listening to a violin concerto that included harpsichord accompaniment, the violin?s lower notes were quite prominent while the harpsichord?s attacks?frequencies found in the upper treble?were at times difficult to hear. The violin also didn?t quite have the sharp ?edge? that is unmistakable in a live performance and also present in a good violin recording played back on a higher-end system. That being said, it?s only fair to point out that this flaw in the iFi?s reproduction was most apparent when comparing the iFi with two higher-end (and significantly more expensive) home speaker systems?my own and one that I?m testing for another review?and is more noticeable at very low volumes than at typical listening levels. (It?s also noticeable when comparing the iFi to cheap computer speakers that have nothing but treble, but I don?t consider that to be a very good comparison.) Overall, this flaw is quite minor compared to the sonic flaws you?ll find in most computer/iPod speakers
In fact, the previous paragraph is perhaps the biggest compliment you can give the iFi: It?s only when you compare it to home stereo systems that its shortcomings become significant. The only ?computer? speaker system we?ve tested that provides the iFi with any serious competition is the Altec Lansing FX-6021, which earned our highest rating for its stellar treble detail and soundstage when used in a desktop (?near-field?) setting; at under $200 (street price), it?s still the king of desktop systems. However, when used in a home audio setting?a living room, family room, TV room, etc.?the FX-6021 can?t compete with the iFi in terms of midrange and bass presence, room-filling sound, and iPod integration and control, and the FX-6021?s near-field advantages in the higher frequencies are much less obvious.
Side note: The term ?near-field? is used, in the context of ?computer? speakers, to describe listening environments where the speakers are very close to the listener rather than across the room. Because the acoustics of near-field listening are very different from the acoustics of a typical living room or family room, a system that sounds better than another when used on a desk may sound inferior when used for standard home audio use, or vice versa. For example, the Altec Lansing FX-6021 is our favorite computer speaker system for near-field use but is much less impressive when used in a large room. Klipsch has designed the iFi for home audio use rather than near-field use, and the effects of this design approach become obvious when you compare the iFi?s performance in a desktop setting vs. a larger listening room.
In other words, although the iFi may at first glance appear to be a souped-up ?computer? speaker system, it?s really a compact home stereo system?amp, sub, and satellites?that happens to work seamlessly with the iPod. This is really the context in which the iFi should be considered, and when you do so, the $400 price tag doesn?t seem so steep. I haven?t heard any ?computer? speakers that sound this good away from a desktop, so you?re unlikely to get this level of sound quality without hooking your iPod up to good home stereo system?which is going to cost more than $400 when you consider the cost of the amplifier, speakers, and the requisite iPod dock base.
The Lowdown
Those shopping for speakers for their desktop should look elsewhere, but for a home stereo setting, the iFi is the best sounding iPod speaker system we?ve heard, by a significant margin. In fact, its full, rich sound is comparable to many home stereo systems?you could put together a home system that sounds better, but you?d be hard-pressed to do so for $400, including the convenience of the dock base and remote control. Treble fans probably won?t fall in love with the iFi, but everyone else should guard their pocketbooks. As the first iPod-dockable home speaker system on the market, and one that largely lives up to its advertising hype, the Klipsch iFi is in a class of its own.

I'm not Redkoji but I'm user of Klipsch reference series. First Klipsch are really efficient speakers with sensitivity 94db and up. You can play loud at low volume (less stress to your receiver/amp) second Klipsch have excellent frequency uniformity for all type of speakers within the series very important on multi-channel playback
Third, speakers also good for Music!
You can play them loud (i mean very loud) without distortions
For Home theater EXCELLENT!

"Subjective listening - this speaker system kicks ass."
?Duane Pemberton, gamersdepot.com, August 2003
"Overall, we have to say that the A-2.1 system brings about one of the best, if not the best, 2-channel listening experience we've had with ANY multimedia speaker system. If you're in the market for a 2-channel system - please - do yourself a huge favor, and don't bother buying any other 2-channel system out there; they all fail in comparison to the A-2.1."
?Duane Pemberton, gamersdepot.com, August 2003
"Pluses
+Best of class 2-channel audio
+Excellent sound quality
+Great bass response
+Looks very cool"
?Duane Pemberton, gamersdepot.com, August 2003
"...GMX A-2.1 speakers deliver superb sound in a good-looking package."
?Robert Heron, techtv, August 2003
"...Klipsch's GMX A-2.1 speakers are the perfect choice for consumers wanting good stereo sound without having to fuss with a six-speaker setup."
?Robert Heron, techtv, August 2003
"Pros: Crisp, clear mid and high frequencies; easy to position and compact; ability to add subwoofers"
?Robert Heron, techtv August 2003
"When listening, you immediately notice a strong, dynamic bass that contributes considerably to the good impression received."
"The medium-range speaker produces a tone that is one of the best among the multimedia systems on offer."
"Overall, the GMX is a very musical system to be recommended, particularly for the most demanding listeners."
?Jean-Pierre Roche, Tom's Hardware Guide, May 2004
"The GMX A-2.1 has now become the benchmark for 2.1 excellence."
?Josh Norem, Maximum PC, October 2004
"The sound feels huge, especially considering this is a 2.1 system. When we cranked up these speakers, we felt like we needed to take a few steps back to fully appreciate the quality and quantity of rich, luscious audio washing over us. Sound is projected extremely well, making for a sweet spot the size of Montana."
?Josh Norem, Maximum PC, October 2004
"...Klipsch's ProMedia GMX A-2.1 is the speaker setup for the thumping generation. Just make sure to keep a pair of earplugs handy for your neighbors."
?Dan Frakes, PlayList, Winter 2005
"If bass is your thing, you'll be hard-pressed to find a system that puts out more boom than these Klipsch speakers?especially at this price. The ProMedia GMX A-2.1's 75-watt built-in amplifier and sizable subwoofer produce some serious beats. The futuristic satellites look and sound good, and they sit on adjustable stands for optimal positioning."
?Dan Frakes, MACWORLD, March 2005
"The ProMedia [GMX A-2.1] is a truly powerful speaker system with excellent audio clarity throughout the frequency range (from the lowest of basses to the highest of trebles). Best of all, you can crank the volume up to insane listening levels with hardly any distortion."

Just new here. I recently bought the Klipsch Quintet bundled with the KSW-10 sub at Avid Surfer Baguio for P15,000. Is this a good buy? They said these are display units but nevertheless gave a 1 yr warranty on them. Recently, I returned 2 of the sattelites to the Avid Surfer. One of them is not working and the other with a broken stand. I am new at setting up this stuff since I was used to having the out of the box multimedia speakers like the Altec Lansing 621. I matched them with a Konzert AV Receiver M: AV 300R (80 watts/channel 5.1 receiver) It's very basic and cheaper than the high end receivers. I was able to set-up the HT and fine tuned it but was thinking of getting a high end receiver later on when budget permits. did I do a good set-up on my system. I just read forums on Klipsch on how to set it up and had just recently joined this forum. Any comments, suggestions would be very much appreciated. BTW, my Ht is in my room.

I'm a new member of this forum and a new owner of Klipsch quintet. I am assuming based on the forum that you're from Studio Systems (please correct me if I am wrong). I got this problem I like to air/share re: my Klipsch quintet w/ KSW-10 sub. I got the unit from AV Surfer Baguio as their display unit, The store manager Ronald Rubio, assured me that it's in good condition and gave me a 1 year waranty on them. BTW, I got them for Php15,000. Admittedly, part of the problem was my fault, I was not able to test the unit on their shop when I got them. It was night and they don't have their receivers already. Here's the problem: one of the sattelites is not working and the other one with a broken stand. I returned both last week, July 16, 2005. I just called up a while back to follow-up on them and Ronald told me that he hadn't brought the unit yet to Manila. The one with the broken stand will not be replaced and the other will be ok by 1st week of August. I am starting to get disappointed with the service from AV Surfer and starting to regret having have purchased the unit. They are on "as is where is" basis but should that be the reason for them to sell malfunctioning products? I hope you can help me on this or suggest what I need to do. Thanks :(

Klipsch Reference Series RF-15 Floorstanding Loudspeaker
-Steve Guttenberg
"Klipsch's sleek RF-15 tower achieves a home-theater ideal. The speaker is sufficiently large to deliver enough gusto to rock our world, but its slim lines don't offend our finely attuned sense of decor. And at $299 each, the RF-15 is the company's least expensive tallboy design. That said, if you're looking for a little more low end, you'll have to bring a subwoofer into the mix."
"The RF-15's vinyl-wrap, cherrywood finish is pleasant enough but not terribly convincing; the other option is black ash. The sturdily constructed medium-density-fiberboard speaker stands 36.9 inches tall and weighs 37 pounds. All in all, the design is rather attractive and modern-looking."
"Only 6.75 inches wide, the tower would be considerably precarious if it weren't for the molded-plastic stabilizers extending from the speaker's base. Klipsch includes spikes for carpets and rubber bumpers for hardwood or tiled floors."
"The grille stays in place with magnets rather than iffy plastic pins. We expect that level of design detail on only high-end models, so it was a nice surprise on such an affordable tower."
"As tall as the RF-15 is, we found its imaging height extraordinary. Our pair produced life-size instruments and voices--a feat never equaled by even the better satellites we've heard. When we matched the towers with Klipsch's RC-25 center speaker, the sound moved seamlessly across all three front speakers. The matching little RS-25 surrounds projected a huge, wraparound sound field but blended well with the RF-15s."
"We thoroughly enjoyed the RF-15s' performance on Confidence, a no-frills heist DVD that serves up a beat-heavy soundtrack, snappy dialogue, lots of gunplay, and gritty atmosphere. We kicked the volume a few notches higher than usual, and the RF-15s took it all in stride."

"With the ultra high sensitivity of 97dB of the RF-25, I found myself with the volume knob only about half as high as with my own B&W 603s. The RF-25 displayed brilliantly clear treble. If anything, I was expecting the RF-25 to be a little top heavy but their bass response was actually quite strong."

I was already decided on the Velodyne CHT-10 at the time (ayoko ng CHT-10R dahil madali daw masira ang remote), but when the Velo CHT-10 was auditioned side by side with the Klipsch RW-10 at equal crossovers & volumes, mas nagustuhan ko ang Klipsch.
Sabi ko sa salesclerk, bakit ganon, akala ko ba the best ang Velo. Sagot niya, magaling naman talaga ang Velo, pero applicable lang yon sa high-end models nila, hindi sa entry level.
Kanya-kanyang preference lang siguro 'yan.

yup sir! ako din parang nagustuhan ko yung klipsch rw10.. dont know lang pag cht12 na sa rw12??? ;D maganda talaga yung rw12 din nila (if you auditioned it at spectra din,kasi magkakatabi sila dun :) ) side by side nga pwede i test yung velo at klipsch.
Post by: barrister on Mar 04, 2006 at 01:30 PM
Hindi kasi ako interesado sa 12 inchers dahil 12" dati ang sub ko; hindi bagay sa room size, kaya nag 10" na lang ako.
Pero try mo rin ang 12 inchers. Iba-iba kasi tayo ng audio taste. Sa Velodyne thread, mas maganda daw ang Velo CHT-10R sa Klipsch RW-10, sabi ni bos danrd.

That's just me pre. Pero as I said on that forum, "Nahirapan ako mamili between them" I was already aimed on buying the RW-10 but I just had a nice deal with the Velo. If not because of that, sigurado RW-10 ang nabili ko. HANEP SA GAPANG!

Eto daw yun:
Bought it brand new @22K from a friend who just came from US. RW-10 costs 24k at Spectra.
An offer he can't refuse. Suwerte!
============================
I'm upgrading my sub next week. The reviews here on the RW series are good.
Be sure that you also audition the Velo CHT-10R. Also has excellent reviews here.
============================
Watched War of the Worlds last Sunday. My favorite cologne fell and broke from the cabinet.
OK lang. Ang bango siguro ng HT room mo ngayon! ;D ;D ;D

Volume: 9 o'clock;
Frequency: 105 hz
See my old post:
To sir newbie pa rin, here are my observations for Klipsch RW-10:
- Pinakamalakas ang sub output pag line-level connection, using 2 inputs (left and right) ang gamit; mahina pag isa lang ang input (left OR right) or pag sa LFE Direct lang ang connection.
- Gumagana ang sub crossover adjustment pag nasa line-level or speaker-level connection; bypassed ang crossover ng sub pag nasa LFE Direct connection.
DVD for crossover adjustment:
- When my sub x-over is set at around 60hz to match the x-over of the other speakers (60 hz), malakas pa rin ang "gapang" ng sub, pero nawawala ang "punch". Ang test disc ko ng "punch" ay War of the Worlds. Lumilitaw ang puwersa ng "punch" sa chap. 5 (time = 20:49 to 25:10) pag above 100hz ang x-over AND using line-level inputs.
DVD for volume adjustment:
- Star Wars Episode III (Revenge of the Sith), chap. 2. Use the bass of the Star Destroyer's sound effect. The chapter starts with the Coruscant sun, then shows a slowly-moving Star Destroyer. The sound is not a clean bass, but is supposed to be a rough, rumbling sound. Sobrang lakas ng hangin na lalabas sa RW-10 port, parang hangin ng aircon. If volume is too high, you will get excessive wind turbulence from the sub's port.
Volume adjustment - Start at around 8 o'clock, then increase to get the highest possible volume without turbulence. Never turn the volume dial all the way down to zero (6 o'clock). Ewan ko kung bakit, pero sa unit ko, pag sumagad sa 6 o'clock, may malakas na tunog, parang masisira ang unit.

Try War of the Worlds at 20:49. The bystanders and cops around Tom Cruise were saying, "You feel that?", "I feel that." "What is that, the subway?", "There's no subway here." "F-Train maybe?" "There's nothing else down there." "Well, there's someting down there, and it's moving." I was hearing some LFE, but volume was extremely low; and I was not feeling any LFE at all.
I was sure that there was something wrong with my settings because the LFE I was hearing certainly did not match the dialog at that scene.
After raising the x-over to 100 hz. and above, the missing low frequencies came to life. Now, the underground rumble of the buried machines can be both heard and felt. It was the first time that the above-quoted dialog made sense to me.
The whole trial and error process took about 3 months. >:(
Conclusion: Test tones are insufficient. Calibration must be finalized by difficult test scenes from well-mastered DVD movies.

I auditioned almost all the Klipsh speakers RF models here in the US just recently. It is very common at Best Buy.
What is great is the high sensitivity, sounds impressive on the showroom but can be quite loud and bright for a HT setup. It is tiring to listen too.
Kliipsch is not really what it is. It is just like a mainstream brand like JBL, POLK, SONY. It is not a glamorous brand anymore unless you own the original models with those expensive horn tweeters.

Hi Guys,
Is there any members here that owners of Klipsch Speakers. Please let us know what model do you have and the older the model you had, the better. We would like also to asked its history if possible and whats your comments on its performance.
In case your freinds has one also, we would welcome their feedback.
Not to turn anybody off but I am not impressed with Klipsch anymore unless they are Vintage. Klipsch doesnt make good speakers anymore like they used to do. I want Klipsch totally made in Hope, Arkansas not China. It seems like everybody now is aiming om mass producing and forgot to maintain their quality.
Post by: barrister on Nov 29, 2008 at 09:58 PM
To give you an idea of our QC in China, Andre has be there for the better part of 3 months. Making sure things are working the way he wants on a new line he has comming out. We have a staff of 15 or so Engineers that are from China and spend their days at the vendors looking over their sholder. We test most of the incomming parts to the final vendor and 100 % of all finished goods are tested to our Eng. standards. We set up the rules for the test. We go over there to make sure these rules are understood and used. We spot check incomming products when they reach the US. In Eng. we test samples of each production run as they come through the lab. Over all, (ie all Klipsch products) have a less than 3% return rate. Of that 3%, 75 % are found to have no problem. Thus, over all, we have less than 1% of "bad" product ship to the end user. We sale $150,000,000 in product each year. We share as much or more info on how we do things with our end user than most anyother MFG. out there, no matter what they make. We step up and fix all problems as they arise. We look for vendors that care for their workers. Doing things like paying over time, time off, health care. After my trip to China, I call many of them my friend. What more could we do?
These days, moving to China is usually a matter of corporate survival. As long as the parent company continues to maintain its own standards, then that's fine.

It probably also probably depends on whether a company has stringent measures with regards to quality control. Yung mga Klipsch Heresy, Klipschorn stuff nalang ata ang ginagawa sa US ngayon.

On that issue, Trey Cannon (Klipsch Audio Technologies Associate Engineer) posted this on the Klipsch Forum:

As far as I know, Chinese made Klipsch, Velodynes, Polk Audio are very cheap in the U.S. except for the Polk Audio LSi Series. People who are new from these brands are impressed but not the Audiophiles. When Aragon amps by Mondial Design was in production, it was mostly sought after. Mondial Designs was recently bought by Klipsch and their Aragon amps are not selling well. Poor or no support on older Mondial producs like Acurus amps and preamps aqs well. It looked like the die-hard Klipsch owners stayed away from their newer products when they were made in China. What is mostly sought after speakers now are the one's made in the 80's and below. People are willing to spend their hard-earned money on vintage speakers now. All they upgrade if needed is the capacitors of the crossover network. I heard that these Chinese made speakers are now considered cheap and generic in the U.S. I know it's a matter of corporate survival and cheap sweat shop labor outside U.S. but people in the U.S. are starting to realize that they are not that great anymore. Maybe they are okay still, U.S. design and specs made by different hand but that is hard to sell on knowlegeable American consumers. Not everthing that is new is better from the old. It may be new but the materials and craftsmanship is not that great. Maybe that old design is more advanced at all. I stayed away from newer Klipschs and Polks except from the Polk LSi9 bookshelves that my brother sent me through "door-to-door" because this model and the LSi7 fits the Balikbayan Box. Someday if I can afford, I will have him buy the floorstanding LSi25 and send me the internal parts only and I will just have to make the cabinets here.
Well, they flooded the market now with their affordable Chinese made speakers, but are these new owners really happy? I can see a lot in eBay as a resell like a sign of unsatisfied owner because they are sold with bottom prices. You can buy these new generics now dirt cheap but you will be disappointed when you listen to the older U.S made ones.

audition would really be the key in choosing the best speakers for you.
i guess i would be the latest pdvd member bitten by klipsch bug. i did'nt even consider this brand when i was making my list of speakers for audition.
i guess it was meant for me to be able to audition klipsch first before the speakers i have shortlisted (the synergy f2).
since it was not on my list, i was not affected by the biased net reviews (both praises and negative remarks). i was'nt even aware of the price when i listened to it ;D
it turned-out that it was my ears that decided on what sounded good for me and not the brand hype, not the net reviews and not even the price dictated what direction i want to go since i was'nt aware of the price when i heard it.
That would be the wisest choice. After all, it is your hard-earned money. :)

A general characteristic for horn-loaded Klipsch speakers is that they tend to sound quite different (very forward sounding highs) from other brands and models. You will definitely notice upon auditioning if it will suit your ears.
Personally, I heard Klipsch Reference speakers at SnS and my ears already hurt just after 10 minutes of listening.

klipsch speakers, or any other bright sounding speakers can be heard at its best if paired with the proper gears, wires, and acoustics.
this is true not only for bright speakers but for any other speaker as well. PROPER synergy solves "almost" anything :)

very true at isa pang very very true.
i have a dared mp5 paired with (my very first speaker) b&w 302 using an old philips dvd player lang and dismayado ako sa nipis ng tunog. "ano ba naman ito" ??? >:( sabi ko sa sarili. PERO nung pinalitan ko ang dvdplayer (take note dvdplayer ha) aba, tumaba at nagkaroon ng punch. much more if i use a good cd player and cables.
kahit na gaano ka pa ka adik magbasa o research e kung kulang ka naman sa time para mag experiment sa larangan ng matching, sayang lang ang investment o ang opportunity to enjoy your gears. kaya tuloy, wala pang ilang araw o linggo benta na kaagad.
in my case, naisip kong ibenta either ang amp or the speakers or both but i asked myself, "teka muna, kung ang iba gustong-gusto ang mp5 at ganun din ang dm302 e bakit ko ito pakakawalan?" ;)

i also agree with this and also agree that audio is subjective.
among all the speakers i auditioned at S&S it was klipsch that suit my ear but when i brought the speakers home it took me 4 different speaker cables to mix and match before i got the sound that i liked.
it's amazing how a simple tweak in cables change and add on to the amount of sound quality and characteristics of your speakers, panu pa kaya yung super expensive good branded speaker cables (anu kaya ang effect nila ::) ) but that's another topic ;D
Post by: accastil on Sep 23, 2009 at 12:28 PM
an extreme example would be this:
1) a VSA VR11 paired to a cayin A50 integrated amp
2) an aurum cantus V2 paired to a cayin A50 integrated amp
i dont think the VR11 would sound any better than the AC V2 given this match up.
my point is this, there is just a certain extent of maximizing a speaker's/gear's/wire's certain potential. going anywhere beyond it by spending so much more(and hoping it would sound better) would just be a waste of money.

Just recently auditioned the Synergy Series, namely...F1, C1 and S1. I was aiming to auditon the F2, but didn't get the chance as SnS didn't have one on site.
My impressions....very bright sounding set of speakers. Audio from CD source is very impressive. The clarity is unbelievable. During the audition, I asked the good people of SnS to take off the sub and watched a movie and listened to a audio CD. In both instances, I was shocked to hear that there is still bass, even without the sub.
Overall, I am impressed with the brand and will consider upgrading, but I would still like to take the opportunity to be able to listen to the F2's before I make my final decision. ;D

i remember shaking my head in disbelief how the F2 is able to produce such bass in such a big room space.
and yes, it sounds bright, very detailed.

i heard the F2 a year ago at the alabang audio fair.
i remember shaking my head in disbelief how the F2 is able to produce such bass in such a big room space.
and yes, it sounds bright, very detailed.
Now I am really curious how the F2 sounds. If the F1's I auditioned had bass, I bet the F2's has a bolder bass sound. :)

Wow! Congrats brader Paolo! ;D I agree with you...Klipsch speakers are really bright and detailed, but that is what I go for - clarity! ;)
Post by: Nelson de Leon on May 09, 2010 at 02:49 PM
im not sure about current klipsch models but i the vintage klipsch (98+db sensitivity) are easily driven and matches well w/ valve amplification. quoting its founder paul klipsch "What this country (america) needs is a good 5watt amplifier". coz he's one "horny sob" ;D
Eto ang masarap pakinggan.

Thanks!

Anyway, got me a pair of RB-81 last Wednesday. Bordering brightness siya pero very much controlled. And correct si Don Pipit. Ma-datail siya and the best part is, kayang kaya i-drive ng 3 watt amp ko. ;D Though one very good reason for it's "ma-detalye" is the 97 db sensitivity.
The highs were not typical ribbon or cone tweeter sounding. But the airy character of horn tweeter is very much present minus the kilansing.

My first klipsch was a synergy2 bookshelf. I was enjoying it in my office matched with a technics amplifier, when one day i decided to bring it home in its box together with a yamaha amplifier for weekend mix and match purposes. Next thing i knew there was Ondoy (the storm not the pdvd member.TY nga pla sir the tannoys.hehehe ;D) again...ondoy and both gears fell victim. Haaay...sad story noh... :'( Ok. happy story naman... :D I just aquired a Klipsch reference rb-81 a couple of days ago. Okay.... make that 3 days ago to be exact. :D Anyone who is into detailed sound would be extremely blissful with this. And yes my friends, its also that clear. ;D
Sa Spectra ka ba bumili bro? Sakto kasi yung day na sabi mo when someone also picked up a pair there. Di ko alam kung ikaw yun. :)

Asking since i might not be able to bring my receiver when i audition the speakers. :(

sir, contact si avshop....im so very sure that he'll be able to assist you with that dilema. i'll be going to his shop tomorrow.
Went there this morning to audition the Klipsch i've stated.
They were definitely brighter than the infinity primus set i also auditioned.
But the receiver they used was harman kardon so i don't know if the change in receiver would be that noticeable.
Post by: carlo.A on Oct 15, 2010 at 08:30 PM
gosh, now im wondering if i really will like the klipsch now. could you maybe tell me how you found the klipsch
Post by: davsacluti on Oct 15, 2010 at 08:36 PM
ah....you found them too high sounding? im actually getting the synergy package tom but ill be pairing it with an onkyo. as per sir marc, he said that it would be calmed down with the klipsch being matched to the onkyo.
gosh, now im wondering if i really will like the klipsch now. could you maybe tell me how you found the klipsch
Well it was not that bright paired with the HK receiver just a bit brighter compared to the infinity primus.
But still might get this for our HT setup since i like/miss the treble compared to our current setup. :D

wow, im not sure bro...i would really love to be able to answer your question but the problem is that this will be my first set up. im not counting the htib's i've had as a home theater. how about this, ill ask them to pair it with a pioneer tom when i get there and ill let you know how i find it together. what kind of pioneer are you referring to?
I'm using the pioneer VSX-519v but unfortunately for me they don't have pioneer receivers at avshop. :(
It's either i buy it directly or i bring my own receiver when purchasing. ::)

i think that would be the best thing to do...well, thats just my opinion. i guess that im lucky lang that they have the same receiver i'll have. so the tweeter is not to tiring to listen to naman? hehehe now i cant seem to stop wondering
I think it'd be best if you hear it for yourself. ;)
YMMV.

nice!!!!!! i cant wait na nga e so i can go there and check it out na talaga. which of the klipsch speakers are you interested in? the hassle part about this for me is that i have to wait pa before i get to use these speakers because i have to wait pa for my receiver that will be arriving first week of nov (this is me praying very very hard). i just want to get something done na so i just have to wait for the receiver. im actually contacting my friends if they have a spare amp that i can borrow so i can start the burn in period and somewhat enjoy the speakers na
Actually looking at replacing my centers first then front bookshelves then floorstanders if i get lucky. :)

Bring your receiver na lang. Different brands typically have a unique "house sound" to them, and having your actual unit may help you in finding the perfect match.

mga brader, sorry for the stupid question. what does SARS mean? lol i really like klipsch! thanks marc!!!!!
off topic..
I frankly dont know the actual meaning of SARS as per PDVD's definition but here are some of my intelligent guesses..
Disclaimer: Pun intended - ang matamaan wag magalit
1. Severe Addiction to Reservations (in the marketplace) and Selling (in the marketplace)
2. Severe Audiophile Reluctance to Stop (in spending ostentatious amounts of money for audio equipment)
3. Sir, Audio gears ko, Reto ko Sayo
4. Senseless Aptitude to Replace Speakers (for speaker collectors/sellers)
5. Severe Acute Reservation Syndrome (for those that just reserve for the sheer fun of it, while most of the times leaves the seller hanging in the air in the end)
5. Severe Acute Replacement Syndrome (for those that replace audio equipment as if they were toilet paper in the bathroom)
6. Sheer Affinity to Rotel and Sonus faber (self explanatory)
7. Sana Audio gears ko Reserve mo na Sige na (hard sell of 2nd hand items which are not getting enough attention)
8. for Sale, pa-Audition, pa-Reserve, Sayang! (sequence of events - self explanatory)
9. Severe Acute Rotel/Roksan Syndrome (self explanatory)
10. Severe Addiction to Replace Sources (self explanatory)
11. Severe Addiction to Replace Subwoofers (self explanatory)
12. Self-Absorbed Review Syndrome (those that take reviews of audio equipment like bible truth and expect everyone to believe their claim - and will actually fight someone over it)
13. Self-Actualized Refinement Syndrome (those that upgrade in progressive steps from budget to high end gears in search of the 'refined' sound/sights)
14. Source, Amp/Receiver, Speakers (basic building blocks of an audio system - self explanatory)
15. Sayang! Angkinin ko na yung Receiver Sana (typical parting words of someone na naunahan sa item)
16. Senseless Affinity to Refined Sources (self explanatory)
17. Sheer Audacity to Reviews and Sabi-sabi (self explanatory, possibly related to #12)
18. Sensible Audiophile Requirements Syndrome (not everyone can afford high end equipment, at least this is their justification for the purchase)
19. Spouse Acceptance of Reality Syndrome (for the spouses that do 'the dialogue' when the other spouse buys/acquires/sells/replaces/upgrades expensive audio/video equipment without his/her knowledge and its aftermath)
20. Spouse's Audiophile Requirements Syndrome (related to wife/husband acceptance or spouse acceptance factor - equipment must be aesthetically, technically and most important of all - economically acceptable to the spouse/wife/husband)
21. Senseless Audacity to Reaction of Spouse (related to #19 - for the spouses guilty of buying/selling/upgrading/acquiring/replacing equipment no matter what the other spouse may say regarding the move)
22. "Sana Audiophile Rin Sya" (typical statement of an audiophile when his/her craft/hobby is not appreciated by the other party)
Feel free to add to this definition if you have any more not mentioned
Cheers!

Post by: mikeer2002ph on Oct 17, 2010 at 05:37 PM
sir, ako personally. i heard the tsi series of polk. i still went with klipsch. im not too sure how much the bookshelves are of klipsch but you can contact sir avshop (marc) directly and ask him na (09173273083) or at the shop (4353210.)

I can't say much for HT because I was never into it, although from a stereo only setup and with my current gear, the Polk RTi As blasted out the Klipsch RBs off my list as far as resolution, imaging and high frequency extension is concerned. Low frequency extension still belonged to the Klipsch's but they're not as 'controlled' as the Polk RTi As.
Then again we have different ears, listen to them both and compare which will take your fancy. I suggest you bring your gears along since it will behave differently to different brands of amps / receivers.
I for one used to clamor for the Klipsch RB-61 circa 2006 but it all changed when I factored in the Polk RTi A3 at the same price range auditioned on my HK receiver.
The Klipsch RB-61 trumps out the RTi A3 on the Nad / Rotel though
Sirs,
I've read positive reviews on Klipsch bookshelf compared with Polk Audio tsi/rt. How expensive are they compared to Polk Audio's? I've also requested price from avshop in another forum.

well as far as pricing is concerned here's the grouping (all are bookshelves except when noted)
Klipsch Synergy B2 = Polk TSi100 = 8-9K
Klipsch Synergy B3 = Polk TSi200 = 12-13K
Klipsch RB-51 = Polk RTi A1 = 15-16K
Klipsch RB-61 = Polk RTi A3 = Polk TSi 300 (floorstander) = 18-20K
Klipsch RB-81 = Polk RTi A5 (floorstander) = Polk TSi 400 (Floorstander) = 28-30K

You're welcome dear.
Do audition it at avshop (look for marc) because they have the klipsch RBs / Synergy Bs / Polk TSis / Polk RTiAs and the top of the line Polk LSis and may also have the B&Ws as wildcard. They also have a Wharfedale Diamond 9/10 series and JBL / Infinity Primus Series so its a one stop shop/audition place. I think they carry HK/Marantz/Onkyo but if your receiver/amp is 'unique' just bring it along.

tnx
If you are interested sa reference series Medjo mahal pero maganda. Kung mga floorstander naman and for HT use, by all means, get the package Synergy series. May pair of floorstander ka na, may center ka and may surrounds. I think the tweeters in the surround are configured as bipole. I just auditioned a set kanina. Very good SQ especially for it's price.

it will be paried with master Jojo's Baby G preamp and Jojo's power AMp ( 50wpc). right now they are driving the sc1 clone, pero nasa 86db lang ata sya compared to rb61's 95db.

Is the Klipsch Quintet 4 any good? Good price but wondering if it will integrate well with my Mirage S-8 sub since the satellites are supposed to be cut off at 120hz.
I think it's very possible to integrate them. If your receiver has an EQ, a slight bump on the cross point might correct for the rolloff of the sattelites and the sub (even without it, I don't think many people would object).
Sub positioning would be vital in making this work, because localizeable frequencies would be redirected to the sub. Try putting it in front, and close to center.

Thanks bro! Yup my sub is located in front near the center. Still studying my options but this is the cheapest one. I'm also considering ordering 3 pieces of Definitive Technology Promonitor 1000 (I am using the older promonitor 80 for my rears) from the US but it will cost twice as much as the Klipsch Quintet.

You're welcome bro. How much will this run you?
If you can accommodate bookshelf speakers, those might give you a better sound overall. There are some convincing budget options out there, imho. :)

The Definitive Technology option will cost around 32th. I already tested my surround speakers as fronts and they sound really good but not much bass of course unless the sub is activated. My other option is Polk Rti A3 and CSi A4 for the center which will be slightly cheaper. My current JBL bookshelfs are 17 inches tall.

any reviews on RB61? ;D was eyeing the RB81 pero kelangan ko pa magbenta ng kidney kung yung ang bibilin ko. ;)

The RB61 is a nice pair of speakers, very efficient and has balanced treble/midrange, thunderous bass and decent imaging / sound-staging if paired properly
My first choice actually if it weren't for the Polk RTi A3.
my best bet is to bring your preamp/amp + source to the retailer from which you plan to purchase your RB61 - audition the speakers using your equipment at their place

Yikes, I'll have to buy my Klipsch rear speakers soon. Don't know what will be in store for this brand but Audiovox killed Acoustic Research which they acquired before. I used to have Acoustic Research speakers and I always wondered what happened to that brand.

indeed comparable. i had the chance of owning a tsi 100 and currently have a b2 but only used for surrounds. klipsch are more into the bright side and it's also easier to drive because of the high sensitivity 92dB.
the b3 model is even better. it will resolve the lack of bass.

Ba't claimed sensitivity ng RB81 is 96db, pero as measured ng HTLabs ay 91db lang?
I'm not an expert on the topic but the measurement is only for limited frequencies 500 Hz to 2 kHz. Maybe someone like Stagea might know the explanation?

Ba't claimed sensitivity ng RB81 is 96db, pero as measured ng HTLabs ay 91db lang?
Measurement techniques vary significantly from maker to maker (and can sometimes even be different between model lines of the same maker), making comparisons of numbers between different brands unfruitful at times (to say the least).
In terms of sensitivity, some quote anechoic numbers, while others quote in-room values (the actual room specs and speaker positioning is often left unquoted). Some measure at 1 watt, whilst others stick to 2.83V. Some makers measure the entire audible range, others use a narrower band (like HTLabs), still others just measure at a certain frequency (like 1kHz or 2kHz). Some quote average sensitivity, others use weighted numbers, and there are even makers who just quote peak sensitivity values (whether in a constricted range, or not). Some measure from 1m (3.3 ft), others measure at 3ft, still others use 4ft and there are very few that use 2m.

SENSITIVITY: 97dB @ 2.83V / 1m
Post by: Stagea on Jun 23, 2011 at 11:09 AM
From the Klipsch web site of RB-81 II:
SENSITIVITY: 97dB @ 2.83V / 1m
In-room din ata quoted measurements ng Klipsch, hence the numbers are numerically higher than those brands that quote anechoic measurements. I suppose they also position the speakers fairly close to the walls during measurement, and only measure from a point that is on-axis with the horn (most horns have significantly more output on-axis).

Mga Sirs,
Anyone compared the RF-62 II with RB-81 II?
I haven't had the chance to compare those but I would imagine the RF-62 II would have the better bass performance since it goes down to 35Hz while the RB-81 II goes down to 44Hz.

You can consider the vintage and rare.
Amazed how refined and musical these speakers are. Very small and compact. Perfect for my midnight jazz sessions. Very bright and detailed.
At 93db sensitivity, driving these wonder speakers were very easy. Perfect for my current AVR, a pioneer 1020k.
Glad to know there are fellow Klipsch users here at PDVD. :D

Looking over my Klipsch reviews from the past couple of decades, I recall a lot of products I respected and liked but none that I fell in love with. The Reference II is the first Klipsch product to tip over that subjective line. Not that the character of the original Reference has changed that much: The difference is subtle. But it’s real enough to turn this product into one that I could live with for a long time.
Let me repeat my warning that to get the best out of these highly revealing speakers, you’ll need low-distortion amplification that tends to the warm side. Like Klipsches in general, these speakers don’t need much power, but they do need clean power. You also have to be the kind of now old-fashioned listener who’s willing to live in the sweet spot.

Hi Conan I see in your sig that you drive your Klipsch with Onkyo 608 and I am guessing that it is match made in heaven..I am about to purchase my friend's onkyo 608 and just wanna hear your 2 cents about it. I own a RF52 driven by pio 820, it is pretty decent although some records sounds a bit on a high side.

Yes I believe that the Onkyo 608 is a good match with Klipsch for HT purposes. If you're going to listen to records or for pure stereo listening I suggest you look into this T-amp, Topping TP60 sold by Capital 1 here on PDVD. It's around 50 watts per channel and the sound is identical to the current NAD integrated amps. NAD is a very good match with Klipsch if you'd have a chance to listen to them paired together. This T-amp will put to shame a receiver when listening in stereo mode.

Thanks! will be getting 608 tomorrow, when I get the extra budget I will consider that t-amp. I think it is much efficient as far as power consumption is concern. Thanks Sir. BTW sent you PM.

To be honest sir conan this is my first setup(newbie lang me) so medyo hindi ko pa ma compare with non bright set up kung sobrang bright nga ba yung tunog nung akin pero nakakatulog naman ako pag play ako music at nakahiga sa sofa hehehe parang baby na hinehele,
Lucky me siguro hindi pa me nakakadining nung mga magaganda talaga ang setup hehehehe kung hindi sigurado naghahanap na ako ng upgrade hehehe
Pero I heard my speaker na nakakonek sa NAD Amp and NAD CD PLayer nung audition ko yung RB61mk2 mas maganda ang tunog compared sa pioneer 920 ko.

For bang for buck, is the sw 450 ok? a little bit more is the rw10.
Thanks
The SW-450 is bottom firing, with a back port, while the RW-10 is front firing with a quarter front bottom port.
It all boils down to you on where you'll place the sub and how you'll use it (HT or audio or both)
The SW-450 is easier to place and integrate within the listening area as compared to the RW-10, but the RW-10 once properly placed/integrated offers better 'finesse' over SW-450.
Of course, your ears and wallet will still be the last to judge which is which.

Hmmm... Im leaning towards the sw450 due to the fact that its cheaper.
Will use it for 50% movies, 50% gaming. kaya yung control nia on music, not a factor na din... Although the rw10 goes lower, and is only 3k pesos more kaya napaisip ako hehehe...

I believe they are bright (the horns are effective) but it also depends on your amp if you want this brightness attenuated or boosted.

I've tested my klipsch speakers with a 1979 AKAI vintage audio amplifier. I fed my cd player with the bossa nova music of Lisa Ono. The bass produced a thunderous sound and you can hear clearly the sparkling sound of the legendary klipsch horn tweeters. The sound was so vivid that you can hear the detailed instruments, the vibrant strumming of guitars, the powerful drums, the dynamics of cymbals and most of all the crystal clear vocals. :D

NAD 326 would match well with Klipsch.
I have a 326 do you have idea how much rb 81 2 costs and where to buy tia

@ whirpool ; CD Ono Lisa Best 2002-2006. Sa US nabili ng kuya ko 2 years ago. I think sa amazon.com. I'm using the Klipsch KSB 3.1 . We compare it my brothers newer RB 81. The RB 81 has lots of power, maybe due to the newer materials being used by the manufacturer.in terms of musical clarity konting konti lang ang kaibahan. The klipsch horn tweeters has a distinct sound you can hear clearly the magic sound of cymbals and percussions when playing jazz music.
Ito yung very interesting na part. I have a friend who owns a boston acoustics tweeters. tinangal niya yung tweeters sa kotse niya at yung klipsch horn tweeters ko tinanggal ko din. They have the same impedance, 4 ohms. We try to compare who's tweeter is more superior when it comes to a clear,very fine and detailed musical clarity. Testing amp: my Technics old but reliable AVR SA GX-650 new classA.cd player sony . music cd Antonio Carlos Jobim Girl from Ipanema . Judges: mga engineers na barkada ng tito at kapitbahay namin dito sa village. There are 4 of them in their 30's all of them electronics engineers. Results My klipsch horn tweeters panalo. basing on musical details. mas fine at mas bright. MgA engineers na ang nag judge... hehehe! Sabi ko sa friend ko ngayon naniniwala ka na sa akin na tatalunin boston acoustics mo sa klipsch ko sabi mo kasi simpleng tweeter lang yang klipsch...good day to all! ;) :) :D

Actually, an open area is the best ideal listening environment provided na walang ingay. Walang reflections or room boundaries.

Guys saan kaya maka bili ng klipsch 2.1 pro media speakers THX ... PLS PM ME. Thanks vmuch
Same question here, i tried back reading to no avail, as much as i would like to call each shop on the PDVD directory, i believe it will be easier if someone could just chime in :)
I know the hunt is something worthwhile to do but that is one luxury i dont have at the moment.
Tried the FS section but i cant find the speakers i am looking for.
This is what i am looking for:
http://www.klipsch.com/promedia-2-1-computer-speakers
I also need feedback regarding their wireless counterpart. Im not an audiophile but i want crisp sound and deep base something that the causal 2.1 cannot provide., the only thing i dont like with wireless speakers is the noise when no music is playing (Experienced this on a headset)

Post by: Nelson de Leon on Sep 07, 2012 at 07:59 AM
despite bing known to be very efficient speakers, giving it more juice pala still makes it even better!
Yes. I use to drive it with my 2A3 SET tube amp. Very malambing siya. Then, kinda tumaas ang listening levels ko so may clipping na ang woofers. I bi-amped it with a vintage Onkyo 50w. May slight clipping pa din ang amp sa transients ng lows. Just recently, i acquired a class D amp (125ASX2) rated at 65w. Very powerful amp for it's size. Transients were handled properly and i even had to recalibrate the sub integration because the lows performed flawlessly. I never thought malaki pa ang improvement sa RB-81 despite owning it for more than 2 years.

It's a different beast compared to the 03. Masbumagay dati ang 03 compared sa older 01. But now, i'm enjoying the new 01. At first, akala ko, nagsawa lang ako sa sonic signature ng 03 so probably i'm trying to enjoy the new sound. Though mas-critical pa din ang 03, with the newer 01, i can play my music louder and still enjoy it. Mas balanced siya sa system ko, even at low, mid or reference volumes.
Tell me if you want to audition it again, as i plan to hook up my tube preamp to try it with tubes.

Yep, mas detalyado and malinis pa din ang 03 for me. Yung 01 2012 has a richer and more forgiving sound, pwedeng pwede sa mga mainstream recordings (saka may advantage din for preamp-less setups dahil 32-bit). :) Dahil 32-bit ang operation, you can attenuate the signal by 48dB without losing any data sa 24-bit playback (or by 96dB for 16-bit playback). That covers the usual listening range of most people. :)

Balak ko sana nad+psb pero sa store dito sa uae e walang stocks ng psb speakers. They have this Klipsch RF 62 IIin store and the SW 112 sub will arrive next week daw. Tried to audition the RF 62 II speakers with a NAD 326 BEE and without a sub. Kaso ang ginawa ni kabayang salesman e inalis niya yung speakers sa listening room at dinala sa may store entrance kung saan nandun yung NAD amp. He played only a song (hotel california) on a NAD cd palyer (forgot the model though) and stopped at the middle of it. Kasabay pa may nagplaplay na na ibang systems sa loob ng store. In short, hindi ko rin narinig ng ayos. I noticed some good punchy bass even without a sub, nice detailed and clear highs but insufficient pa rin ang listening time ko to conclude it. Hope you can share your thoughts and opinions. thanks

Will go for NAD integrated...to tame the forward sound of Klipsch RF62ii..you really won't need a sub as the RF62ii can handle lows easily when playing music..
thanks sir mbtorn. now 326BEE or the 356BEE? The klipsch has high sensitivity so I think NAD 326BEE will be enough. But still need your opinion on this. thank you

@50wpc, the 326 can easily drive the rf62ii..but the big brother, 356, has better specs & has mdc option for dac or phono in case you want to add it in the future. Nad is very punchy yet musical, which matches the forward sound of klipsch. You will need at least 200 hours to break in the klipsch.

Mukha ngang bagay ang NAD. Sakto lang ang 50w. Pero despite it's sensitivity, based on my experience, medjo slightly matakaw din sa power ang RF lalo na if you want to produce good lows at reference levels. I would still require a sub because the reference series are not capable of producing a smooth respose below 45 hz. Ang kagandahan lang is steep roll off siya so madaling integrate sa sub. Room mode na lang ang kalaban mo sa integration.
thank you sir Nelson. Balak ko talagang bumili din ng sub kahit sinabi ni sir mbtorn na no need haha, sorry sir mbtorn. Bale mukhang ang magiging setup ko na is NAD 326BEE (yung savings from 356BEE will be added for the sub), Klipsch RF 62II fronts and SW 112 sub.

Auditioned the R26F a few weeks ago at Spectra, very nice. I was looking for a floorstander and initially auditioned the ELAC Debut F5; was about to leave, when they offered me to listen to the R26F. Being more or less the same price, I would choose it hands down, over the ELACs. Midrange is about the same "fun" level as the F5s, but the highs offer more clarity and detail. I didn't take note of the amp used, but it was a NAD if I remember correctly.
NAD amps are good match to forward sounding Klipsch.

Balak ko bumili ng Emotiva PT 100 preamp + a300 poweramp. I know power headroom is good and my speakers can handle the 150watts of the a300. Pero for the sake of discussion lang, anong opinion nyo about sa 150watts per channel ng Emotiva a300 paired with Klipsch RF 62 II na 125watts ang power handling?
Post by: Timithekid on Nov 28, 2017 at 05:45 AM
I paired my RF 62 II with Nad 356BEE, but sadly bumigay na yung amp last week after 3 years of everyday use. Maganda yung combination ng Nad Sa Klipsch.

I don't think I have ever complained with having too much power. sabi ng mga nauna sakin na enthusiast, maganda ang busog kesa sa hinihingal na speaker. And in my humble opinion, you'd probably ruin your ears first before you blow up your speakers because its maxed out.

Post by: rm1017 on Mar 26, 2018 at 02:20 PM
hello guys. contemplating on changing my year 2000 wharfedales with klipsch, either the reference or the reference premiere line. planning to do atmos too. recently bought a denon x1300w sa lazada at 22k (supersale lol) so wanting to get a new set of speakers for ht and some music listening too.
any difference between the R and the RP?
I'm on all RPs for main, center, and surrounds (bipole). They sound amazing for movies and great for music as well (50/50 use). They are easy to drive and the clarity is superb. Don't know how different they will sound from just the reference ones though.
Post by: addieboy on Apr 05, 2018 at 05:53 PM
power is medyo kulang but based on wharfedale 8's (very low sensitivity). wanting to get the RP series kasi easier to drive per specs eh.

Note, hindi po ako audiophile, hoping to be, feeling lang haha. Doesnt have a golden ear. Medyo marunong lang siguro tayo mag appreciate ng good sound ;)
Noticeable improvements over diamond 220, for me (very subjective):
Wider Soundstage - hindi boxy? more air and space ang sound
Crisp, forward, lively sound - hindi 'ngongo' (no offense with the term) ang highs, but not excessive
Deeper, fuller bass - mas natural, truer bass. Tipong hindi pilit.
Plus, I can listen to music using pure direct. Which is actually better nga for music (totoo pala). Cant do it with 220s on marantz avr, need to turn on audyssey eq.
Lastly, in my opinion, klipsch can handle 'almost' all kind of music genre from rock, alt rock, opm, rnb, pop (batang 90s type of music) to jazz with pleasurable experience.
Ps: not againts the diamond 220. Sure it got advantages depending on our needs esp its price (rp-160m having x3 price, bigger, heavier, 6.5in woofers). But for me who wants all around speakers, bit forward, revealing, lively sound, works good for both music and movies and doesnt have British kind of ears :D (mas prefer ata nila ang warmer sound?), klipsch 2 thumbs up.
Gears: marantz avr/intereted amp, pioneer SC avr (class d)

This will be my secondary system which will be driven as follows:
analog & digital sources ----> 12SN7/12SL7 tube preamp --> 30W tube amp & 30W Marantz 2230 [newly recapped with Silmic II caps (signal) + Mundorf AG+ and Nichicon KG (power) electrolytic caps] ---> amp switcher ------> Klipsch.
My older system consisting of a 12SN7 tube preamp and 2A3 tube amp combination will continue to separately power two pairs of Audio Nirvana 12" single full-range drivers (Ferrite and Alnico). Will see which set of speakers I like best. :)
