Hands down the best sattelites out there all the way up to $700. Bose sound small and cannot hit frequencies nearly as low. Don't be fooled, any speaker that is not two-way (has seperate tweeter and driver) will not produce good sound at all because a large driver physically cannot reproduce teh high treble frequencies, and small bose drivers may handle the highs well (what Bose is known for) there is a huge gap in the midrange that the sub tries to make up, but it can't. The quintets also handle more power (200 watts peak, 100 rms) than almost any other sattelites out there including big speakers. Klipsch is the manufacturer of ultra high end sound systems for the theaters and with the quintets you will see why Klipsch has a cult following among audiophiles.
Bottom line-incredible all around speakers for music and movies at an incredible price.

I have a pair of vintage Klipsch Heresy bookshelf speakers that produce wonderfully rich sound. Because of their size, and because I wanted a surround sound system, I decided to replace them in my living room. After a lot of research, I decided to stick to Klipsch, and opted for their Quintet II speakers. Boy am I glad I did.

I was worried that there would be a significant drop in quality from the Heresy to the Synergy Quintet. I told my wife not to expect too much from such small speakers.

Well, I had nothing to worry about. Since installing the speakers on four Sanus stands, we have listened to classical music on stereo radio, CD music, DVD movies, and football games. We are blown away. Plenty of volume with no distortion, clarity, depth and range. For the price, I cannot imagine getting better results than with these speakers.

Highly recommended.

I paid $300 shipping included for this speaker set and it was a bargin. These are superior to the top of the line Bose satelite systems in every way, for a fraction of the price. The Qunitet II is acutally a better speaker than the "III" series you can get a Best Buy right now. In the latest version they improved the monting brackets but installed cheaper tweeters and midrange drivers. I sold audio equipment and home theater for over 10 years and when paired with a good sub, this is a great $800 speaker system. (I bought the Polk PSW10 for only $100 on Amazon) Klipsch has a bright high end that is not harsh and the low frequency range is much better than most any at any price. I consider myself fortunate to have found this deal.

You'll get spacious,wonderful and clear highs, good medium frequencies, not a powerful bass.The sensitivity is not quite high so they will need a powerful or a high current receiver/amplifier.A subwoofer is a must; you need to buy it separately.Nice finish and craftmanship.

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.
