Customer Reviews for Klipsch - The Fives Powered Speakers with HDMI-ARC - Matte Black

The speakers look and sound beautiful. No need for a subwoofer unless you prefer that your whole house shake. The first tune I played was an arrangement of Armando’s Rhumba, the hand percussion sounded so crisp and clear. I was always a Klipsch fan but these speakers brought my love for the brand to a whole new level.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good, if you can ever get them to connect and play

I loved the way these sound, but my 1 star is due to all the issues. I still have connection issues that Klipsch can’t resolve. What’s the point in having powered speakers if you can’t get any devices to play on them? I dealt with a lot since I’ve owned them, but at some point I have to be honest and say these won’t ever be better than a Bluetooth setup unfortunately. I won’t be buying any more Klipsch powered speakers after my issues and seeing the same issue happening all over.

Who needs a sound bar? Who needs a 5.1 or 7.1 system.
The only thing that compares is my Sixes w/ sub woofer

I wish I had gotten these a long time ago! All the songs I love sound incredibly amazing. They sound brand new and fresh almost like hearing them for the first time. Truly hearing them the first time. The speakers go so loud so clear without hurting your ears. The fives are more than just sound they are feeling blasting your favorite sounds through your body. You don't have to have an overpriced music player to have true overwhelming sound. These powered speakers are powerful and can handle any form of music you want to push through them. I have high-end passive speakers my dad brought home from Vietnam. And now I have the fives which I will pass on to my children like my father passed on to me. But these are actually amazing speakers. I can't imagine any improvement that could surpass the way they sound now. Music is a wonderful thing and the fives make music spiritual and awe inspiring. Thank you!

Outstanding sound quality

I use these as desk speakers. The unit is coupled via Toslink to a Brennan B2. I can only say that this system provides a live sound stage I never imagined. The B2 has an EQ so I can reduce the base that a lot of people seem to complain about. The issue some people describe about the speakers going to sleep occurs when you connect with 3.5 mm connection and run the volume of the transmitting device too low. After connecting to the Toslink, I have not had any issues and the clarity of the music is outstanding.

These speakers are amazing, the sound is perfection and with a subwoofer (SPL-100) on the side its a live concert for music and a home theater for movies. Would recommend to anyone looking for great quality sound packed in two speakers.

Covet Worthy

After 12 years, my AudioEngine 5s gave out. While looking at AudioEngine comparison articles Klipsch 'The Fives' were suggested. Since shifting to flac audio sources, I decided quality speakers were an important consideration. The clarity, space and depth of 'The Fives' revealed "new" elements in music I'd listened to many times before. It was like hearing some songs for the very first time. The bass is powerful and clean. Perhaps a bit much for my neighbors. ;-) I might need to move to fully enjoy these babies! The various connection options are also a major upgrade from my old speakers. 'The Fives' have been a brilliant reminder of the wisdom in the cliche "you get what you pay for". These speakers are worth every cent. I'll be coveting them for many years to come.
