[@982luc]

I just love the fact that you include demo sounds in your videos, as compared with the other reviewers/audio enthusiasts, your videos are actually not boring.

[@stewiegriffin993]

Steps for gradually building your own home theater system: 1) get a big enough place with no thin walls and/or neighbors 2) give up if 1 isn't met

[@ZReviews]

My usual advice is introduce yourself to your neighbors right away. Play music and ask it its bothering them.. Exchange Numbers. That way the police get called second. Plus you may make a movie night friend.

[@DeltaVideos]

plus you can make ypour walls soundproof, not cheap tho

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

Step 3) Don't have an overly objective wife.

[@Assimilator702]

[@icdjpr]

I got lucky and got 3 kl-650-thx a couple years ago on market place they replaced my MK S-100B and I was blown away watching movies. They are ported so I think they sound a little better than the sealed for music. Great job z keep up the good work.

[@morris7025]

an Excellent SPIRITED Z-Review!

[@CDAWWGG43]

Please try this with your big setup. One of the coolest parts of these speakers is that they're CERTIFIED for THX Reference levels and will happily take a beating. Let them stretch their legs, they really shine with space! The imaging will mess with you, things behind you with the speakers spaced away will make you do the shoulder check. Give it a shot. EDIT - Toid / 123TOID did a DIY video cloning the 650s so you can bang out a pair for ~500.

[@timothyjudsontaylorofficia9786]

[@JayDpwnz]

Will you look at the updated RP line from klipsch, you call the rp 600m the gold standard, so would love to know what you think of the rp 600 m ii, or another speaker from that line.

[@ZReviews]

Plans for that soon.

[@ddaley87]

I have the 650s, the rear surrounds and two subs with the Klipsch amp. Arcam amp for the bi- amp LR, C and surrounds. Massive sound. Can split your ears. Top gun 2 is killer!

[@JoshuaPeters3036]

Those are great speakers Zoe’s… Definitely great for dedicated Home Theater… You should review the JTR 212 HTR‘s… I know that you would love them they are the most realistic, detailed and dynamic Home Theater speakers that I’ve ever heard or owned. They might be the greatest Home Theater speakers made. I hooked them up to an emotiva processor and ran Dirac and will probably never change LCR‘s for the rest of my life.

[@Zachary_Setzer]

I have these Klpisches and the JTRs or Perlistens seem like the only thing that could ever tempt me to upgrade. Given that my theater is in a 12x18 room, I'll need to move first, lol.

[@yuckysamson]

Thank you Zeos for getting out the message that needs to be had: For Home Theater, one wants projection, dynamics, throw, controlled directivity, and controlled frequency response. We don't need fidelity and nuance. People miss the boat when building a home theater all the time; expensive speaker lines do NOT beat out more pro-based installations with horns. It's not music, it's movies.

[@VideoGoogle2008]

You are nuts and I love your style. I like how the camera takes me around and how it seems like you speak off the cuff.

[@conduit242]

Probably because they are awaiting your Swans M5A review 😂

[@ZReviews]

Those. I need to edit the sound demo.

[@Zachary_Setzer]

I'm also rocking the Ultra2 7.2.4 setup (plus a Rhythmik FVX15, thanks for the tip on that Zeos). This system lives up the the hype. Never seen this model number. Looks like maybe the 5000 and 6000 are Canadian model numbers for the KL-525-THX and KL-650-THX?

[@Ba09035]

I've had the Full THX Ultra II system for several years. It is end game speakers for dedicated home theatre. Wicked! Average for music, but the ATMOS music in Apple music is very good!

Looks heavy / solid and deep spread. They look interesting. Reminds me in the drivers of my old Polks in 1999.

[@squared80]

Yeah, these have been around awhile. I only know of one person who got these for their HT and it sounded good. They're overpriced new, but that's what you'd expect with a Klipsch + THX speaker. I still prefer my RP-II line and RF-7 III LCR for HT over these.

[@matthewphillips5483]

Music? Yes. Movies? Not a chance.

[@maya_coqsalonga]

This lineup is 20 years old or so. They are intended to be used as a complete system. There is a subwoofer intended to be with them. A little while back you can get a complete system slightly used for $5000. Klipsch has a new system that they're pushing through the integrator market called the RCC, which is a full behind the screen unit that comes together it's own baffle wall. LCR and 2 subs. The THX system from Klipsch was before it's time. The inwall versions seem to be more popular but the THX line isn't that hard to find online but it was intended for the custom integration market. You need a full Klipsch THX 7.1 system to truly appreciate it.

[@lok777]

They cut off at 80hz. You need a subwoofer or these will sound like ass.

[@maya_coqsalonga]

@@lok777 yes. At least 2 subwoofers. It's intended to be used as a whole system regarded as one of the best sounding home theater system available costing far less than competing systems such as B&W and JBL Synthesis.

Every home theater I have ever set up has set all speakers to crossover to sub below 60-80Hz to control the bass in the room... Most speakers regardless of size don't have real energy at 50hz and below whereas that's the sub's job...

[@vtkz]

Theyre not selled often because the Dealers here in DE / GER not realy have Klipsch because theyre not easy to distribute here - and when you install a high end theatre you get way better results with Custom Solutions + Active & DSP Based Speakers (for example the Homecinema Installer HollywoodZuhause - also here on youtube)

[@maya_coqsalonga]

It is a custom solution. Europeans are partial to European speaker brands. You can get better results by spending twice as much as least.

[@snowinokinawa]

Hey Z… would you mind teaching us, your beloved students, how you get a Single Back Surround Speaker in a 6.1 setup working properly on a processor such as your MC700 please? I had a look at the MC700 manual and don’t see an option 6.1 utilising a single back surround… so do you ‘Y splitter speaker cable from MC700 (SBL + SBR Pre-outs to the single speaker’ ? Or….?
