CINEMATIC PERFORMANCE
The Reference Theater Pack delivers superior acoustic performance by leveraging Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers. These exceptionally lightweight cones are extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion.
MINIMIZED DISTORTION
A Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters have been a hallmark of our Reference series product lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

HORN-LOADED POWER
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.

WIRELESS, ROBUST BASS
The down-firing wireless subwoofer is designed to deliver room-filling low frequencies without requiring too much floorspace. The 2.4GHz connectivity allows for premium, CD-quality sound anywhere in the room. Simply connect the compact, pre-paired transmitter to the subwoofer or LFE out on your receiver and place the subwoofer where it sounds and fits best in your room.

FLEXIBLE SYSTEM PLACEMENT
To complement the easy placement of the wireless subwoofer, each satellite speaker has a keyhole mount and a ¼” x 20 threaded insert (the center channel has dual keyhole / inserts) for maximum mounting flexibility.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've seen a few reviews here saying the sub was defective, one guy even went so far as to call it a fake because something big was rattling around inside (I suspect the amp or part of it got dislodged by being dropped in shipping or something). Mine worked immediately and the wireless connection is perfect for my needs. I don't see this system on the Klipsch site so I am assuming it must be discontinued. Regardless, it's a great value and I'm sooooooo glad I finally pulled the trigger on these.
Edited to add: I was finally able to find these on the Klipsch site (by googling "Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1" and following the link, I couldn't locate them through the site itself) . It does look like maybe they've been discontinued but it's hard to tell. More interestingly, it says that the original price was around $1300, which really explains a whole whole lot about why these sound so good. Discontinued or not, I'm really glad to get ahold of them for $399 instead. Love 'em to bits!
Surround and vocals for movies are much better than any soundbar we have had. As it is a wired system, not everyone will like running wires to all the speakers.

Dislikes:
Speaker covers come off easily
Bass speaker does not have a cover
These speakers look and sound awesome. The bass is deep and clean, and it is nice having a wireless, hidden subwoofer so I can move it wherever I want. My friends are surprised that I can get the booming sound from a speaker they can’t see. The mids and tweets give off a nice, precise sound and the words being spoken on TV are easily heard. To truly get the full experience you need to have a receiver that has 5.1 capabilities, and I run 14-gauge wire. I also love the way they look without the covers, but it is nice having them to keep the dust off, and to protect them when I want. They also look nice with the covers, but I like it without.
The setup was easy and my subwoofer connected the first time. It can be a little intimidating to set the low pass, gain, and phase but here are some simple setup methods that can help you get started.
• Low pass
Also known as the crossover, this setting controls the frequency at which the subwoofer takes over from other speakers. A common rule of thumb for stereo music playback is to set the low pass to 70% of the speaker's lowest Hz. For example, if your speakers are rated at 35 Hz, you would set the low pass to 25 Hz. You can also try setting the low pass to 40–60 Hz for larger floor-standing speakers, 50–80 Hz for smaller bookshelf speakers, or 80–160 Hz for small satellite speakers. However, you can experiment with different settings to see what sounds best in your room.
• Gain
To adjust the gain, play music at a low volume and slowly increase the subwoofer amp's gain until the subwoofer's sound overpowers the other speakers without distorting. You can then back it off slightly until the sound is clean.
• Phase
Phase is a simple Yes/No digital decision. The question you are asking is simple, “Is it louder when I flick the switch to 0 or to 180?” These numbers relate to degrees of phase, but there is no standard for where we begin. There is no intrinsic correctness to either 0 or 180 degrees as your final listening result, so select either ‘0’ or ‘180’ based on whichever setting is louder.
Your speaker’s bass driver should be pulsing outward on a bass transient, like a kick drum’s “thump”. For your system to be properly in phase, or aligned to this action, your subwoofer needs to have its driver pulse outward on the same kick drum thump.
If we reverse the orientation at our phase switch (so that output is quieter), that means our driver will be moving backward as your speaker’s driver is moving outward. This means we are cancelling bass from your main speaker, and thus reducing the overall output of bass, which is counterproductive.
The only two downsides are that the subwoofer does not have a cover. I know that it is pointed down but if someone goes to move it, they might accidentally damage the speaker. Also, the magnetic covers come off fairly easy, so if you have the speakers in a high traffic area, you might need to be careful.

O sistema de som é de qualidade e a construção das caixas também, fiquei impressionado.
![](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/amazon-avatars-global/703bb69d-8ac6-4184-bdfe-93885794bc9b._CR62,0,375,375_SX48_.jpg)

El sistema otorga justamente calidad, un sonido bastante limpio, sin vibraciones raras o fatiga en altas frecuencias, el canal central es capaz de reproducir voces muy claras y brillantes. El subwoofer tiene una acústica característica de klipsch, parece que estás escuchando una bocina de 10 pulgadas y 100 watts de potencia. Pero en su conjunto, este sistema no va a sacudir tu casa o molestará a los vecinos.
El sistema es excelente para películas en 5.1 canales en habitaciones pequeñas, en departamentos con salas de estar de tamaño reducido o como equipo secundario.
Su rendimiento para escuchar música en estéreo no es el mejor; no es malo, pero por ese dinero podrías comprar un par de bocinas sony scs5, un subwoofer polk psw108 y un amplificador rockville de bulbos y tener un mejor rendimiento para tu música.
Actualmente lo tengo acoplado con un Denon AVR-S570 BT como equipo secundario y estoy satisfecho, puedo ver películas a altas horas de la noche sin molestar a nadie, pero con detalles, calidad y consistencia. Si buscas hacer temblar vidrios o tu sala es de más de 30 metros cuadrados, esta opción no es para ti.

Einzig der 8" Subwoofer war mir zu wenig, darum habe ich mein System noch mit einem zusätzlichen 12" Klipsch Woofer ausgestattet, AVR habe ich einen DENON X1500 H!
Verglichen mit meinem Teufel Select 2 THX System war ich echt überrascht. Natürlich haben die Surroundspeaker vom Teufel mehr Power, aber dennoch ist der Klang bei den Klipsch für mich besser!
ECHTE KAUFEMPFEHLUNG, jedoch sollte meiner Meinung nach ein stärkerer SubWoofer dabei sein
