Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

Product Information

inch Linear Travel Suspension tweeter is another feature that the Reference Theater Pack borrows, as its name implies, from Klipsch’s higher-end Reference line of loudspeakers. Yes, I could hear the resonance from time to time, though it wasn’t a deal breaker and didn’t prevent the system from performing well enough in other respects—imaging, resolution, and overall clarity.

Tonal balance, while slightly forward, was certainly not too aggressive or sizzly; things that were supposed to sound warm sounded warm. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. The satellites measure just 19cm high and 11cm wide, while the larger centre is still just 11cm high and 27cm wide. With the Beatles, the difference was night and day—but it made far less difference to the rhythm section on this album, beautifully self-produced and self-engineered for the age of high fidelity, with crisp mids and a beefy bottom end that flattered ace players Dave Mattacks (drums) and Dave Pegg (bass). I'm also looking to get the Klipsch R620F or R820F and use them as my front floor L+R speakers, then use two of the satellite speakers for a Dolby Atmos setup.The Sib sats may not be very big, but they are considerably larger than the wee Klipsch sats, and the difference was audible. To complement the easy placement of the wireless subwoofer, each satellite speaker has a keyhole mount and a ¼” x 20 threaded insert (the center channel has dual keyhole / inserts) for maximum mounting flexibility.

All Klipsch® Certified Factory Refurbished audio products pass the same strict performance standards as our brand-new products and carry little or no blemishes or imperfections.We next played Kraftwerk's "3-D" Blu-ray, and the Klipsch delivered the band's trademark synth-pop with surprising gusto. The horn-loaded tweeters made them almost too colorful; when perspective shifted within a scene, the transition was dramatic. People like Rembrandt van Rijn, who could make a painted image gaze into your soul; or Meryl Streep, who can be Anna Wintour one moment and Julia Child the next; or Warren Buffett, who’s been known to make his shareholders a dollar or two; or Billie Holiday, who could sing like Louis Armstrong’s trumpet and fit a lifetime of hard loving into a single phrase.

I don't know if that's how the effect works or its just a design but gotta watch for what can roll underneath it so you don't puncture it. Midbass, meanwhile, is handled by copper-coloured Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) drivers, giving these speakers the same two-tone aesthetic as the rest of the Reference lineup. Klipsch considers the speakers in its Reference Theatre Pack as mini versions of its Reference series full-size cabinets.Next, I turned to a live recording of outgoing music director Alan Gilbert leading the New York Philharmonic in Verdi’s Requiem at David Geffen Hall (CD). Many of its full-size speakers flaunt a no-nonsense design, with more right angles than a Rubik's Cube convention, but these satellites are cut from softer cloth. Even though that means a room full of speakers, they don't have to be huge to create impressive sound. If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag.
