Product Description
The Quintet MicroSystem proves that size does matter. As the world's smallest horn-loaded surround sound system, the Quintet is a marvel of miniature technology that results in maximum output and real-world dynamics. The Klipsch exclusive MicroTractrix Horn, which drives the four creature-like, seven-inch tall satellite speakers and unassuming center channel, delivers a broad soundstage with smooth, yet powerful reproduction of movies and music.
Amazon.com Product Description
One of the smallest horn-loaded surround sound systems around, the Klipsch Synergy Quintet II home theater microsystem in black is a marvel of miniature technology that results in maximum output and real-world dynamics. The Klipsch MicroTractrix(TM) Horn drives the four 7" tall satellite speakers and unassuming center channel, delivering a broad soundstage with smooth, yet powerful reproduction of movies and music. Integrated into the front baffle to minimize diffraction, the horn delivers high output, low distortion, and broad dynamics.
All five speakers are a 2-way design. The four satellite speakers use a 0.75" neodymium magnet dome compression driver with the patented Klipsch MicroTractrix(TM) Horn and one 3.5" woofer. The included center speaker uses the same high-performance, high-frequency driver and 90 degree by 40 degree MicroTractrix(TM) Horn as the satellite speakers, adding two 3.5" woofers for superior dialogue reproduction and positioning. All speakers are magnetically shielded so you can place them near the TV without causing any picture distortion. Offering the ultimate in placement flexibility for your home cinema system, the Quintet II satellites incorporate a unique pedestal design that may be used as a stand for bookshelf placement, or easily swiveled for convenient wall mounting.

great speakers December 30, 2008

Well worth the 250 dollars I spent on them. The sound quality is very good for the size of the speakers. I will be purchasing a pair of floorstanding speakers and may be replacing the center channel with a larger one, but since my stereo supports 7.1, it won't be a total loss. Beats Bose any day of the week.

Like others who have bought Klipsch... Who needs Bose? Solid system for the money. Working with a budget and want quality check out Klipsch before selecting other over rated and over priced speakers. This is one of my better purchases.

Excellent sound despite small size September 1, 2008

After reading all of the positive reviews I thought I'd try these Klipsch Quintet IIs. The reviews are correct. They are very clean sounding. Not much bass ability at all, but they shouldn't at their size. A good sub will take that role.
They have very low distortion and will outplay any Bose setup I've yet heard. They aren't as powerful as my Athena 4 AS-B1s and AS-C1 center channel setup but they are a fraction of their size. They can play very loudly.
I hung the 3 front speakers from the ceiling (DIY strap for the center channel speaker) on top of our screen and the imaging is really first rate. I am very happy with these speakers. We purchased them from Vanns, and I was impressed with their speed of delivery and good price.

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.

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.
