Sounds Good but Installation Issues
I’m using this for 4 satellite speakers in a 7.1 setup. I’m using the center speaker for another setup. Sound Quality is great. Particularly for small speakers. They sound very bright. Not much, if any, bass. If you want bass, you need to get a subwoofer.

I have the 4 speakers wall mounted. The way they attach to the wall is fine. There are two screws (not supplied) per speaker that the bracket slides over. I’m able to get them to hug the wall pretty easily. The problem is adjusting the position of the speaker. There are 3 allen wrench screws per speaker that need to be tightened once the speaker is in the right spot. The allen wrench is provided. The problem is the allen wrench doesn’t fit in the screws easily and they have to be very tight or else the speakers will flop.

The instructions that came with the speakers that pertain to this don’t match the speakers. The instructions list 2 screws at the base of the bracket that need to be tightened. In reality, there are 3 screws on the speakers themseleves. Other models have the 2 screws. My guess is Klipsch tried to save money by having one user manual for many speakers.

Bottom line is if you want them to rest on a flat surface, no problem. if you plan on wall mounting and want them in a position other than flopped straight down at a 45 degree angle, be prepared for some skinned knuckles and some frustration.

Klipsch ist die shiznit
After MUCH hesitation I finally bought this set. Having heard so much praise for the Klipsch brand I had decided I wanted to get on the bandwagon, but but at an entry-level expense. Initially I wasn’t ready to spend a grand on traditional, full-size speakers… however, things have changed. If these tiny satellites are any indication of what their larger counterparts are capable of I will absolutely spend that $1000+ when the time comes to upgrade.

When I first began researching speakers I simply couldn’t get over the fact that tiny speakers could deliver big sound. Rest assured, these Quintets do a decent job, they are every bit as loud as the Onkyo speakers I replaced and far superior in clarity and robustness.

I have these speakers paired up with a Yamaha 661. I’m using 2 of the Quintets as the surrounds, and a separate set of Polks as the sub-surrounds in my 7.1 setup. Listening to TrueHD and Master Audio (via my ps3) has been pure joy, and I’m hearing enough of a difference that I will probably pick up a third set of quintets to replace the Polks, and eventually the KSW-12″ subwoofer.

Klipsch Quintet II
I bought these speekers from Acoustic Sound Design through Amazon and I am happy with the product and the service I recieved from both company’s. I made my purchase based on the reviews on Amazon, these speekers replaced a pair of Accoustic Research speekers that were 15 years old, watching my old DVD’s with the Quintet II is like watching them for the first time, I don’t have a sub now but will get one eventually. My family room is 15 x 17 and these speekers fill the room with volume to spare.
