Reddit mentions of Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

I would not pay $550 for this set (assuming this is the one) unless you are the kind of person who doesn't think they will really get into home theater https://www.amazon.com/Klipsch-Reference-Theater-Surround-System/dp/B0779GRFWF

Instead, start with a 2.1 or 3.0 set. Q Acoustics 3020i and 3090ci center. Dayton SUB 1200 subwoofer. I'd wait on the sub, though. Decent chance Parts Express might put it on sale during BF/CM. Create a deal alert for it on Slickdeals or check there daily starting Thanksgiving week.

Is this a good deal? Already bought the Yamaha receiver that was on sale at Costco, looking for some speakers to go with it for a 5.1 setup in my living room.

Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

I picked up this set of speakers for my dad a couple days ago for $180. Search Craigslist and Facebook for deals. I've been waiting for a good deal on them for a while and ended up with a steal! He even threw in 5 stands and speaker cable for free.

You could likely also get a good receiver used for less.

If you want stereo speakers that would be amazing for music as well

I like the sound profile of Klipsch horn speakers. Personal preference.

These Energy are the gold standard for an affordable 5.1 set.

Suggestions for audiophile-quality speakers that I can put on my computer desk, and use both for listening in the room (while not at the computer) and for computer games when I'm sitting at that desk?

Willing to spend good money to get something really, really good, to keep for years and years. (My current equipment is a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 THX set that I bought 20 years ago, so by my logic I spent well under $10/year on that set.) I'm trying to target around $1,000 or so, but will push to $2,000 for something really impressive that is going to last me a long time. Beyond that I'm not sure my use in this room can justify it. I look at it as being cheaper to get something I won't want to replace.

They are allowed to be decently big but must fit on the desk or on a stand, can't do floor standing speakers in this room at all. Not because the room is particularly small, but because wall-adjacent floor space is all used by shelves and stuff.

5.1 would be great _IF_ it can be done well without sacrificing those really good mains for music. I care far more about musical performance than 5.1 and games performance. (I'm checking if there's a way to have my cake and eat it too.) My default if nothing looks promising with 5.1 is to get a nice solid stereo pair.

Has anyone used the Edifier S760D 5.1 setup? Would I be losing out on a lot in terms of musical performance with something like that, compared to the 2-channel recommendations I tend to see in that price range?

How much would it likely cost to put together a decent quality multi-channel analog-only amplifier to go with a set of smaller Klipsch speakers, maybe with main left and right upgraded to some nice RP-600's?

Do any other brands make high-end integrated 5.1 setups for computers? I expect nothing great to come from Logitech, but maybe they've improved while I wasn't looking? My searches seem to get abruptly cut short when I find the set I'm reading a review of is no longer made.

I posted earlier about an Atmos audio system I’m trying to build and was told to stay away from Bose (which I have read many bad reviews on, but have a hand-me-down set that I’m not unhappy with). My price range is $800-$1100 and I am now looking at this system: Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

I plan on pairing these with my Sony str dn1080 AV receiver and my Bose 601 speakers to create a Dolby Atmos system. With the two Bose speakers as FR FL, then two of the supplied Klipsch speakers as SR SL, and the last two as my height speakers. It also comes with a sub which I currently do not have.

Any thoughts? I looked into the Jamo systems as well,but think I like the Klipsch better. The jamo 5.1 set with the additional Atmos speakers also run just about 1000 as well, but do not have a sub. my currentthought process is that my 601s are decent and if I purchased the Klipsch system now, I can buy a pair of their towers later and replace my 601s when I have a little bit more money.

And the atmos speakers.

Edit: my current system is two Bose 601s as my FL and FR, two Bose 100 as my SL and SR, and a Bose VCS10 as my center channel.

A small Speaker package like the Elac Cinema 5, Energy take classic, Klipsch HDT or reference, and some Sanus Satellite speaker stands. And a AVR from accessories4less.

Yes, I do realize speakers aren't supposed to go on stands, except the center channel. However, these reference theater ones are compact. Klipsch Theater Speakers So they would have to go on a stand. I've been hitting up all the online venues but not really finding what I want or need. I also bought those atmos speakers Atmos so they would have to sit up high so I was looking for something with bookshelf

Probably this.

Looking for a good audio system for my home office. I spend a lot of time playing video games and listening to Spotify and I’m done with my $30 2.1 system. A friend has some klipsch floor speakers that I like a lot but they’re out of my budget range which is around $600. I’m looking at Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0779GRFWF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QclvCb9AJ7690 or Klipsch RP-160M Bookshelf Speaker - Ebony (Pair) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RNZ6COS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yelvCbDJ2C4HV Does anyone have experience with either of these, or a suggestion for something else?

Appreciate the comment - had a friend tell me it "was not a bad starter!"

Pendulum is swinging just a tad here from cheap to more expensive, but thoughts on this?

Fluance has a 5.1 system for $500. Fluance offers a 30day home audition with free returns if you’re not satisfied.

This Klipsch system goes in out at Costco for $450 if you have Costco. Was on sale at Amazon a couple weeks ago for $500.

Otherwise, a lot of people go for the Micca MB42X series of speakers as their entry home theater. As for an entry sub to pair, either polk or monoprice. Or wait for a sale on BIC or Klipsch subs (new or used).

Your setup is unbalanced with respect to the 50% you are spending on the sub. This will be a little over $1000 once you include tax, shipping, and cables:

I've been pleased with the Klipsch HDT300 for about 4 years. I only recently upgraded to a used Polk RM7600 set and PSW125 sub.
