So I spent an exorbitant amount of time reading through the reviews on these (I always do)... and every single time I read more extensively, I realize that most if not all reviewers have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE what they're talking about.
WHO AM I TO SAY THIS?
Well, nobody really... but one badge that I do wear is that I worked for BOTH of the two premiere surround sound companies on the planet. That means I was surrounded (pun intended) all day long by not only the most expensive gear from literally every single sound company on the planet, but also the very few people who were lucky enough to be born with the ability to hear the complete sound spectrum.
SCIENTIFIC FACT: There are only about 14 people on the planet who have this ability.
SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE US regarding these Klipsch speakers?
I'm glad you asked, even if you didn't ask, I'm glad you're now wondering.
THESE SPEAKERS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
I've been using them for one day now and I have pushed movies, TV shows, and a HUGE and VARIED array of musical genres through them, and they handle ALL of them effortlessly and reproduce them damn near perfectly across the board.
From Classic Rock to Grunge to Metal... from Drum & Bass to Dance to Downtempo to Deep Thumping Progressive House... from Jazz to Blues, from Ska to Reggae... I even jammed some Gyuto Monk Chanting and Polka through them and THEY PERFORMED and THEY PERFORMED STELLARLY! I was SHOCKED!
Remember, these are classified as bookshelf speakers, however they certainly perform way beyond any other "bookshelf" speaker that I've heard.
They're LOUD, too, and they maintain clarity all the way through the entire range of sounds in all of the musical genres that I pushed through them in the 15' deep x 25' wide room that I have them in.
As I sat listening to them, eyes closed, relaxed back, mind cleared, I thought to myself just how tragic it is that online reviews aren't mandated by a reviewer first having some kind of advanced degree and some SERIOUS critical thinking skills. Because these speakers ABSOLUTELY DO point out who does and does not know WTF they are talking about.
It's obvious that most, if not all, of the negative "know-it-all" reviewers are just angry people who spent $10k on their systems only to have a $799.00 pair of bookshelf speakers come so dang close to the performance they have with those systems.
Imagine how mad and embarrassed someone who spent $5M on a Bugatti basting full-force down the road would be if a Nissan GTR came barreling up to it with ease—THAT IS THESE KLIPSCH SPEAKERS.
They are a bit bass-heavy at times, but that's OK because here's the FACT (again this comes from having worked for both those companies)...
ALL SOUND IS DIGITALLY SPLIT ANYHOW. THERE IS ALMOST NOBODY SETTING UP 5 OR 7 MICS TO RECORD EACH INSTRUMENT AND/OR SOUND STAGE.
This FACT right here is what separates the very few TRUE audiophiles which exist from those who are clearly just interwebs haters who are sitting around angry in puddles of their own filth, pissed off that the proverbial girl they make fun of turns out to be the most beautiful model on the planet... we've all heard those stories. THIS IS THE PRIME ANALOGY REPRESENTING THAT!
1: If your audio source is quality, you're spot-on and need nothing else to parse the sound. This became apparent as I ran a myriad of movies from the 80s up to now, through them.
2: I would recommend getting a subwoofer REGARDLESS to separate the bass from mids & highs. It's just common sense, but you most certainly do NOT need it.
3: I found the best thing for me was to turn my OLED sound settings on my TV to use not only the internal speaker to catch more highs, but also OBVIOUSLY the Klipsch speakers, at the same time. It was a minimal change, however it ABSOLUTELY DID set off those super-highs from the back bouncing off the wall and thus it did dynamically change the entire sound spectrum.
It's even better that it's just so simple to connect any audio source to them so dang easily & effortlessly without tons of other equipment.
I hooked up my old Klipsch subwoofer to it and YES< do buy an alternate sub... I will report when the new one I ordered arrives and I can run the same tests again.
Look, bottom-line, THESE ARE UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING! SUPER-EASY to set up, they offer so many different options for sound sources,, they look AMAZING, they are built SOLID...
I love these things, and all things considered & comparatively speaking, they're easily the BEST audio purchase I've made, EVER.
I haven'ty even received my stands for them yet, they're sitting on the boxes (protective box & product box) they were delivered in on the sides of my TV set-up and they still sound THAT FRIGGING AMAZING.
If you don't have tons of cash but want to have sound which makes you feel like you did spend a ton... BUY THESE!
Then laugh at all the fools who are crapping all over these in the reviews.
Seriously, they need to get outside & let go of their OCD anger.
NOTE: I'll update this when my new subwoofer comes in this weekend. I'll attack photos too.
