Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

Product Information

Since the speakers’ sound is a bit directional, it is advisable to aim all of the five speakers toward the listening position to get the best out of the usage. Our exclusive Tractrix Horn Technology and aluminum tweeters deliver the most impressive high-end response and greater extension, enhanced imaging and powerful dynamics. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible. One thing you may need to truly enjoy movie night is a good sound system. Like flat-screen TVs, surround sound systems have dropped in price over the years, making them accessible to more consumers. For best results, invest in a speaker set boasting 5.1 surround sound, which will give you everything you need to create the true movie theater experience at home.

Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System | Klipsch

This tweeter is combined with 5.25 inch low-mid drivers with copper-coated diaphragms and a lightweight but extremely sturdy graphite-coated aluminium basket manufactured by injection moulding, at least for the speakers for the front and rear channels. The centre speaker uses two 4-inch low-mid drivers of the same design, so that a particularly flat construction is achieved. This allows the centre speaker to be placed very flexibly directly under the TV or even the screen, for example in an AV cabinet. And, yes, they are small. The satellites measure just 19cm high and 11cm wide, while the larger centre is still just 11cm high and 27cm wide. They have a reasonable amount of heft to them, though. Klipsch muscles in on the sub/sat market with a compact reimagining of its Reference range. Mark Craven reportsThe receiver you choose shares equal importance with the speakers you buy. Make sure you buy the right receiver for the system you’re setting up. For home theater use these things are amazing for the price. Movies, video games, sports and live tv are going to be immersive and dimensional and detailed beyond any TV’s internal speakers and pretty much any soundbar. Dialog is clear and articulate. Treble is super detailed… think about the scene in the Matrix where Neo and Trinity break Morpheus out of Agent Smith’s custody… every gunshot and bullet shell hitting the floor sounds awesome. And the subwoofer is everything you could want for a small to medium sized room. The T-Rex in Jurassic Park sounds like it’s stomping through your living room.

LOW FREQUENCY DRIVER : Satellite: 3.5” (8.9 cm) copper IMG woofer, Center: Dual 3.5” (8.9 cm) copper IMG woofer The reference theater provides different and dynamic performances from all ranges. Let’s start first with the cinematic performance: I changed settings on the surround receiver, went through all the options on the TV for sending audio. Didn’t help. I tried the wireless setup to see if it was my RCA cable. Didn’t help. I even switched to optical and tried all of those settings. Didn’t help, then randomly it started working… Okayish. My lizard brain was telling me to think it must’ve just needed to be warmed up as a coping mechanism. I was in full cope mode.I was in the market for a 3.1 system for my desktop rig. So I could listen to music or watch movies and have a decent sound experience without a headset causing what I call “squeeze fatigue.” Some people are just good at things. 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. Companies can be good at things, too. Klipsch, for instance, became famous for their horn-loaded drivers under founder Paul W. Klipsch. In the last couple of decades, the brand has parlayed its expertise in horns into a commanding position in the compact speaker category, marketing one bestselling satellite/subwoofer set after another. MOUNTING : Satellite: Keyhole and 1/4” x 20 threaded inserts, Center: Dual Keyhole with dual 1/4” x 20 threaded insert I was hoping to get some receiver recommendations and insight on what I should expect for the satellites. A true surround sound system includes a center speaker, right and left front speakers, left and right rear speakers and at least one subwoofer. Dolby Atmos requires at least two extra speakers, as well as a receiver and content that support the newer technology.

Detailed and Wireless bass- It is no news again that the subwoofer is down-firing wireless made to offer room-filling frequencies without taking too much of users’ space. There is the 2.4GHz connectivity that gives room for premium and CD-quality sound wherever it is placed in a room. For years, 5.1 surround sound was the standard. But larger theater rooms have called for something that creates the same immersive experience you get in smaller rooms, leading to 7.1. TL;DR this is a very very decent system, but you may have to fix the sub or go with a separate sub if you’re really wanting a “wireless sub”. The specific setup you’ll need relies heavily on the room where you’ll be installing your home theater. The term “5.1 surround sound” refers to the number of channels your audio delivers, but it isn’t the only option. The technology breaks down like this:

You get awesome performances with the battle scenes in ‘’Game of Thrones’’ even when the volume is daily loud. Aside from the loud volume, you get solid clearness together with smooth bass. If your motivation is to take your movies to the next level, I’d recommend this speaker set 100% without reservation.

Klipsch Reference Theater Pack review: Teeny tiny speakers

The model’s midbass is also molded in copper-colored IMG drivers which give the speakers a 2-tone aesthetic just like every other one on the lineup. Two of these can be found in the center channel cabinet, there are others around the board at 3.5in units. It is however obvious that the overall design and styling of the model is a bit different from that of the Klipsch norm.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. Most people would’ve tried to return them at this point. But not me. Manufacturers dream of customers like me. Instead of crying about it like others would, I started investigating the problem. I listened to music that had distortion come through the sub, but it wasn’t consistent, it was hit and miss. First time HT Buyer. When I built my home, I set up the Family Room with smurf pipe and drop boxes all leading to a built-in HT cabinet. I've planned for some time to kit this out, but have just procrastinated it for too long. The traditional two-speaker system is 2.0, which is two channels, two speakers. A subwoofer bumps that up to 2.1.So I took out the wireless board… Completely. It was glued on, so it was a little tough to remove without risking breaking it. Not that I cared, it didn’t work anyway. I removed the front LED wire, just in case they were also carrying unintended signals into the board. But there’s another reason movie night has become a staple of many households: home theaters. Once considered a plaything of the wealthiest consumers, home theaters are now far more accessible to everyone. Large LCD screens are more affordable than ever, pushing them into the mainstream. You don’t even have to dedicate a room of your home to your theater. You can set it up in the living room or den where your family regularly watches TV. This can simply be done through a simple connection of the compact prepaid transmitter to the LFE or subwoofer out on the receiver to get the best fit and extraordinary performance. After that, a succession of tunes flew by: Grand Salvo's Field of Flowers was dynamic and intimate; Beta Band's Life was impressively deep; and Okkervil River's For Real sounded punchy and fun. Eventually, I had to leave, but I wanted to stay and listen more. Should you buy it? I hooked them up using bare 16 AWG copper wire for the main speakers, since the terminals are spring loaded gold plated terminals, and are too small for banana plugs, I just rolled with it. The other ends are banana plugged into an old Sony surround I got almost a decade ago, but still works well for a smaller setup.
