Klipsch Black Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Surround Sound System

Product Information

The Fate of the Furious (Blu-ray, DTS-HD Master Audio) loads up on action heroes (Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham) and other stars (Charlize Theron and an uncredited Helen Mirren) and lays on the motorized noise with a trowel. systems can significantly improve your TV's audio, but if you really want to take advantage of rear-channel surround sound effects, your best bet is still a separate AV receiver and 5. I don't know if that's how the effect works or its just a design but gotta watch for what can roll underneath it so you don't puncture it. Knowing that these had been switched from the harder, stone-like material to the lighter plastic, I asked myself if this was confirmation bias—the tendency to allow a pre-existing theory to overwhelm facts. Just review the photos carefully and make sure the connections on the back of the unit are the ones (and types) you need.

Although my aim for a one-size-fits-all volume setting was lower than a motorhead might prefer, the center speaker wouldn’t let me miss a word of dialogue.All Klipsch® Certified Factory Refurbished audio products pass the same strict performance standards as our brand-new products and carry little or no blemishes or imperfections. Midbass, meanwhile, is handled by copper-coloured Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) drivers, giving these speakers the same two-tone aesthetic as the rest of the Reference lineup.

The Klipsch Reference Theater Pack is the company’s sixth-generation sat/sub system, succeeding the Quintet, which we tested back in 2013. Featuring four satellite speakers outfitted with Dolby Atmos technology, the Klipsch Reference Cinema System delivers height effects from the front AND the back for a best-in-class Dolby Atmos experience. Complete with a powerful 10" subwoofer, the Reference Theater Pack brings the Klipsch cinematic sound into your home with an incredibly minimal footprint.

The Klipsch Reference Theater Pack offers impressive sound for such a tiny footprint, but lacks cinematic power compared to bigger-box speakers. We used a Sony STR-DN1080 AV receiver and an Oppo UDP 205 Blu-ray player for all of our listening tests. 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.

Each of its four satellite speakers is tiny, yet together they can fill a small or medium-sized room with a surround sound field that no sound bar or stereo system can match. Would definitely recommend this set if you’re looking for good satellites and a good sub that sound really nice. I'm also looking to get the Klipsch R620F or R820F and use them as my front floor L+R speakers, then use two of the satellite speakers for a Dolby Atmos setup. The Reference Theater Pack delivers superior acoustic performance by leveraging Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofers.

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. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. I continued hopping among sub crossover points while listening to Simon Nicol’s Before Your Time (CD), the Fairport Convention frontman’s first solo album, replaying the opening track obsessively as I flipped between 120 and 150 Hz. My fear going in was that this could influence the sound, adding cabinet-induced colorations for starters. The idea behind Klipsch's Reference Theatre Pack is simple: bringing the US speaker brand's house sound, beloved by owners of its floorstanding models, to those with small rooms/budgets.
