    Thank you so much Zeos. You really did me a favor. Buying "The Fives" was literally the best audio purchase I have ever made and perhaps one of the best purchases period I have made. I am not a high-end audiophile (although I did buy my first CD player in 1983 for $400 and almost got kicked out of my house for doing so) but I am also a musician. I am stunned every time I use them. Doesn't matter if its vinyl, TV, bluetooth or streaming, it's all been "chocolate orgasms" (damn that's a good line you had there). They have an old school warm, comfortable sound but very accurate. Thanks again for your review which made me get them. I was about to get a new receiver and wired speakers (but there's no need now). To anyone on the fence on buying these - don't think twice about it. They are even better now with the firmware updates and equalizer controls as of last month which made them even better.

      Im on the fence between these and like the cinema 600 sound bar system that comes with a 10” sub. I like deep base in my movies and hip hop music. How is the base on these by themselves? I could get a sub later for these but don’t think I can add rears or a center. With the cinema series you can add a set of rears which gives you kind of a 5.1 effect.

    Nice review! In my opinion HDMI ARC is almost the signature feature of The Fives. That is what separates it from the crowd of similar priced powered speakers. I am a music first listener but it also does a nice job as a sound bar replacement. TV or cable remote changes the volume due to the HDMI ARC. I bought a pair a couple of months ago and have been very happy with them. About a week in the amplifier failed while watching TV at low volume. Klipsch support was great and rather than having me send the speakers back they shipped me a new amplifier so I was back up and running in a few days. Every product will have issues and I think the way the company backs the product is what matters. Klipsch support was stellar for me. I added a Klipsch sub because it allowed me to put The Fives closer to the wall without them getting boomy. I couldn’t be happier with them.

    I have the klipsch r-51 powered monitors. I got them on sale earlier in the year for $374. Those things literally blow me away with how good the imaging is. Those 5 1/4 drivers are DSP corrected when you hold down the subwoofer button. You can turn it on or off. I was going to get a subwoofer since it has the output but I was so impressed by the low end I skipped it. The dynamics are impressive. I can get it loud enough that it scares me a little and it still sounds good without distortion. I would love to hear these newer ones. I love klipsch. My whole surroundsound system is klipsch. I love how easy their passive speakers are to drive.

    I bought the Sixes for my parents a few years ago and was very impressed - (made me wish I gave myself that gift!) I've heard these 5's are even better with the DSP. Build quality of the sixes was awesome. It's also where HiFi is going. It won't be long before Class D amps with DSP are better than class A. When that happens, the argument for separates is gone. It should lower overall cost significantly by buying all-in-ones even for full size floorstanders. It allows the speaker designers to select the PERFECT amp that is designed specifically for THAT speaker and it also gets rid of cable runs and all the problems they introduce (and cost of cables). Add a sub and you've got a quality system - what's not to like?

      @@bradhuskers very much so. You can't get proper bass without at least an 8-inch woofer I'm my opinion (and I prefer much larger). There is extensive research on the subject if you are inclined to seek it out. It boils down to physics and the fact that bass tones come from physically larger waveforms than higher tones - the reason that tweeters are always smaller than woofers.
      The great thing about the Fives and Sixes is that they are meant to be paired with a subwoofer or two and it only takes a single cable out of one of the the speakers to the sub and you are done. It's a very common hi-fi tactic to spend money on a very good pair of small or "bookshelf" speakers, then add a decent sub, (which are comparatively less expensive) to create a full-sounding system for much less money than a pair of good floor-standers that have 12" or larger woofers included. Also much easier to fit into a small room and/or the existing decor because the subs can be hidden and only the small speakers need to be in a prominent place.

    I have a set of The Sixes. I have not heard The Fives yet, but I will say I have been in love with my Sixes since day one. Similar to the Fives, they have a crazy amount of bass, solid imaging, great build. They are not quite as modern looking, and they do seem to have more of a volume limit compared to the Fives. And since Klipsch is still selling the older Sixies for $499 right now. I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in the fives but don't want to spend as much and are willing to have bigger speakers. Also, I'd be happy to let you borrow them Z.

I have them on a desk and they have one glaring flaw that Klipsch finally wrote me about on , 10-20-21, and that is they do not have a fix for the auto-shutoff feature. You didn’t mention it in your review so I’ll inform you about this annoying feature of these speakers. They auto turn off after a few minutes and you either have to turn them on with the remote or move the input wheel. None of the reviewers mentioned this feature which is deal breaker for my working environment. I wish they also had treble and bass controls on the remote at least.

    I just finished trying these out against the Kanto TUK. I like a fairly bright sound, so I thought of Klipsch, because of their reputation, but I kept the TUKs. The Klipsch high end sounded muffled, while the TUKs' ATM tweeter was sweet, sparkling and not at all fatiguing. (The BASS of the Fives, however, nearly blew my sofa over backward.) I don't know which Klipsch speakers are "bright" but the Fives are not.

    If you think the Fives are impressive, the Sixes will impress tenfold. I don't know why Klipsch has tried to push the Fives more than their Sixes - maybe because they are quite a bit larger (but that's a good thing) and maybe the difficulty of finding speaker stands for them - although I found probably the only ones that they fit and look good on.

    So for the same price do these Fives or Edifier S3000pro give the best overall sound? I mean with no additional subwoofer.

      Get the 5s. You won't be disappointed!

    I got the 51 powered set up
    ..works great in near field.
    Use them ( with subs) instead of a sound bar.
