Yes they do picked up a pair last summer for $65 Craigslist and yes they rock

The Fender Twin Reverb with the mesh grille is an iconic musical instrument so this is a very cool observation! We love how The Fives sound. Thanks for watching.

Yub, those are simple 4 pin GX-12 or GX-16 "aviation" connectors, readily available from the usual Chinese suspects for next to nothing. Or simple open them, remove the old and solder in some longer, or shorter cable. I'm looking into getting these and the cable would be hard to hide where and how I want to set them up. Might invest the time to make a braided cable with matching paracord sleeving so it looks nice.

Sounds delicious!

Great video BTW!

@@shanejohnson237 You could've just "edited" that in the original comment😂

Yeah, i have them too, it would be nice to have a arc, some TVs have some problems with optical cable

They do come alive with a sub as the electronics in the speaker remove the deep bass from it when you add the sub. Thanks for watching and sharing

@@AudioAdvice The small cone is overloaded by the effort of working without a sub. Simple physics will not be fooled. It sounds infinitely better with an unconnected plug in the Sub Out jack.

Just an FYI I ended up adding the RSW100 Klipsch sub and it really was a game changer for me. I thought I couldn’t be happier but now aI am. These speakers in a good sized room have no problem plying very loud. Great sound quality. The high end, in particular, is very nice. I always have thought of Klipsch speakers as being “bright”. These are smooth. Excellent high end but it’s not too forward. Great soundstage. With the addition of the sub I found I have a little more flexibility in placement. Without the sub they could be a bit boomy if within a couple if feet from a wall. With the sub I have them about 14 inches from the wall with no boominess. Great speakers!

For just music listening, aren't the sixes superior in overall quality of sound?

Waiting for replies >.>

We hope you enjoy the setup! Thanks for watching

Well how do you line them ?

@@905gtrucker9 These speakers with a sub are awesome!! The build quality is fantastic and they look great. I'm still trying to work on hiding wires and such, but that will happen. Aesthetics aside, they are really versatile. I will say that playing music on them is a better experience than tv, but tv is still solid. But I think that's because dialing in the sub for things like movies and shows is a bit trickier than with music. My only real challenge is my room itself. I have an open floor plan so the sound can sometimes seem like I could really benefit from having a satellite speaker or even a center speaker to fill in some small losses in projection, especially with dialogue in certain movie scenes. But that is really more of a room design thing. Finally, these are just great if you need a do it all system that allows for varied methods of connection. Bluetooth, eARC, aux... it's just right there in one compact package. In a smaller room, I would say to give them a go without an external sub. But a sub never hurts and becomes essential in larger rooms or open space floor plans, imho.

I am thinking for my open concept living room. I have tried 3 sound bars they work for watching tv but when I want to pump my music they suck. I had the JBL 5.1 sound bar great bass but mids and vocal not loud. Think I’ll try them sounds like you can pump these suckers up nice and loud and they still work great for watching tv / movies

During one of the klipsch streams from this channel, one of the klipsch people said it was really good in near field applications. Funny enough he had the speakers 12 inches from his ears and said that it was amazing how good they sounded being that close to his face. I normally would be scared to have a pair of klipsch speakers that close to my face lol.. so that's good news

I find dialogue low with my own bluray movies, because you can only get 2ch Pcm, be good if they made a 2ch digital Decoder to get DTS sound

Our original demo pair still looks fine. High humidity might cause it.

@@AudioAdvice Thank you for the response. I live in Thailand, so yeah, humidity ;-)

Absolutely!

Must be the size.

I wouldn’t, since you won’t be there long enough to listen to them.

@@jond.8516 🤣🤣

Yes as Klipsch crosses over the speaker when you engage a sub, taking the low bass load away from it It is typically room for the sub or budget. Thanks for watching

Pull the rca cable out of the Klipsch. Touch your finger to the rca connected so it briefly connects the center pin and outer metal ring. If your sub is ok you should hear hum while you are touching it that way. Then you will no which unit has the problem. Thanks for watching

I was referring to my early Father's day nightmare Bose in a box Soundbar

We are not an Edifier dealer and have no experience with them. We can tell you The Fives will play incredibly loud with no distortion. Thanks for watching

If your TV has optical out you can use that instead of HDMI ARC. Thanks for watching

What I am trying to say is this an all analogue crossover?

$500 at Costco seems to be a raging deal. I love them.

​@Mike B what's crazy Is that they are now $444 on Amazon right now

This is one of our favorites www.audioadvice.com/home-audio/speakers/subwoofers/audioengine-s8b-powered-subwoofer Thanks for watching

Yes unfortunately this great speaker is discontinued. We should see something next year. Thanks for watching

@@AudioAdvice Something is not matching here... Manufacturers do not discontinue great products after having them just two and a half years on the market without having a successor or replacement for them.

@@Skip11AM It is supply chain issues. The new models, which we can't talk about yet, were supposed to be in a while back. Early 2023 is the current thinking.

You can also connect it to your TV through a optical cable or even headphone jack

@@starlightdrifter308 But if I connect the Soundbar through headphone jack will I get 5.1 channel output ?

Rocky_Balboa how old is your tv? Most have arc on one of the hdmi ports.

We believe this one is assembled in China. Some of the higher end Klipsch products are in the USA.

I was also interested in those and just wondering the same thing.

Victor Johnson too good to be true is what happened! I ended up with The Sixes.

MAS QUE PUXA VIDA Eduardo Zimmer exclamação exclamação

No, it has a DAC built in. Thanks for watching

Greetings. Since The Fives are powered speakers, these already have a good DAC/amp built in. They even have a phono stage built in for connecting a turntable! www.audioadvice.com/klipsch-the-fives-powered-speakers-pair Thanks for watching.

You could use any of the free internet radio apps to enjoy FM radio with them. Thanks for watching

Please reach out to our team at www.audioadvice.com for information. Those are both very good powered speakers. Thanks for watching

The RP-600M are better than these

@@adampruitt9211 Not for smaller rooms and nearfield advantages. Two different cases really

HI Sybo. While not the same as e-ARC, which would be useful for a true Dolby Atmos setup, the ARC connection is perfect for 2-channel listening (or Dolby Atmos with some slight compression). Also, there is an app for your smartphone! It's called the Klipsch Connect app on the Apple App Store, and there is a big update coming to it soon for The Fives that will give this speaker system new features. AudioAdvice purchases will receive our tips and tricks setup guide that will help you get the most out these speakers using the app too.

You are correct. Feel free to check out our full-written review for more about this and how it performs on different kinds of music: www.audioadvice.com/videos-reviews/klipsch-the-fives-powered-speaker-system/

$900 which is too high no matter what these do.

He said less than $1300. ☹️

@@muzammelhaquemukul7089 that was with the sub they used.

@@FelixtheMetalcat Why is that too high?

@@Phillyo118 The 6s were $800 and these are smaller speakers. I totally get the improvements made, but for most people $900 is just too high for something that still will need a sub to sound great. $695 would be a much better starting point.

You change the sound output to PCM. I don't think people are understanding what these are.

there's no difference since it's a 2.0 or 2.1 system, no?

Yeah... They look like the 51M with a D-class amp, and some nice connectivity. If they sound like the 51M, can't really see where the extra 600 dollars go to.

They don’t sound anything like the 51M IMO. Of course audio is subjective so your mileage may vary. I bought a pair of these and I am very happy with them. I have them paired with a smaller Klipsch sub and honestly I couldn’t ask for anything more.

@@rreichar1 can I ask you what klipsch sub you paired the fives with?

@@troywalt4834 I have had two. Now it’s an R-120 SW. I had whatever the cheapest 12 inch Reference series sub is called (I don’t remember) but it would occasionally turn off for no reason so I returned it. It was a refurb or an open box from Amazon. They did eventually replace it but I had bought the other and didn’t notice a significant difference so I gave the replacement ot my son. I am happy with the R-120 SW.

Yes, but these are half that price and take up less space. Thanks for watching

Totally agree those prices are insane and why the hell did they made them so small, I am guessing to market them to people who don't know anything about sound. Also I think they are missing on lot of support for différent technologies like e arc.

They're not wireless. You should actually watch the videos before whining.
