  Uneven tonality, Not the most organised presentation

This system offers sparkling performance with film and music material, plus superior connectivity and a neat aesthetic.

The Klipsch Fives are a complete music system in one box. As tested by me, the Fives are fully capable of standing on their own and playing music from your mobile devices, or they can accept whatever digital or analog source you may have including a turntable.

Klipsch’s The Fives speakers are almost perfect. They offer gorgeous sound, a slick design that’s at once retro and modern, and tons of inputs. Their versatility in placement allows those with wall-mounted TVs more flexibility than soundbars to allow for both style and utility.

“The Fives prove true left and right channels beat the pants off most soundbars, and look great doing it.”

Very nice speakers that support TV, smart phone etc. Excellent audio quality!

These are extremely well designed powered speakers that pump out a huge volume of sound for the size. I connected an iMac for high res tracks, my old Technics SL-D2 turntable for vinyl, and can stream anything from my iPhone via Bluetooth. Really impressive!

Why is the THD not listed and no center channel so only stereo

Able to hear instruments never heard before on some songs easy to use and sounds better with a Klipsch subwoofer!

Awesome Speakers

well sounding soundbar alternative. Airplay 2 and Wi-Fi capabilities would have really made it more interesting.

Great sound, especially for their size!

What an absolute pleasure, these speakers. They work MARVELOUSLY. The sound is really great, especially during war movie combat scenes. Oh, and the bass is awesome as well, you don't at all need a sub woofer with these babies.My installation was VERY easy and simple.

This is my second pair. With a subwoofer there isn’t a compelling reason anymore IMHO for a component 5.1.2 surround setup anymore. They sound that good when paired with your TV.

Great sound in a small package!!
