Review

The Fives by Klipsch is a compact two-way powered speaker featuring a 4.5-inch midwoofer and a 1-inch dome tweeter on Klipsch's "TRACTRIX" horn. The speaker is equipped with various connectivity options (HDMI ARC, Bluetooth, optical toslink, turntable and RCA). It also comes with a remote control. While this speaker doesn't exactly fit my taste preferences, I can say that it's a surprisingly pleasant change from the usual "Klipsch sound" I'm used to. At least when the DSP's "bass cut" mode is activated. The treble boost is smooth enough not to be conspicuous, and I suppose some people might like this boost as it's more like a treble tone control, reaching about +3dB between 2kHz and 12kHz. Those who like the "v-shaped" response may like the "flat" DSP setting better. These speakers have plenty of inputs such as HDMI ARC, toslink, RCA, 3.5mm aux, and Bluetooth. All of these features combined with the small size and included remote control make them worth considering if you're really looking for a soundbar replacement.

Pros

Small dimensions, excellent sound, modern interfaces

Cons

In rare places with a specific bass, the case is slightly rattling

Review

Excessive columns into which you fall in love with the first listening. The convenience of connection, including HDMI cable and Bluetooth, quickly evaluate the dignity if you need to connect several devices in the apartment.

Review

By many samples and errors, I configured the sound, it seems to me, to the perfect. The source is a sound card with a top tract Creative AE -5 Plus (DAC Ess Sabre 32 Ultra - 32/384). At first, I thought that you can use acoustics only with Dynamic Bass EQ, because There were a lot of extremely intrusive pressing bass, even after flashing. But! Through the application, Klipsch Connect on the columns set the "in the corner" mode (lowering the bass by 6 dB), then there is another three -lane equalizer, in which he reduced the bass by another 2 dB, for 1 dB added medium and 2 db high. And finally, he turned on the Dynamic Bass EQ mode (in fact, this is a subtlepent, the thing is necessary and useful). The map in Direct mode, that is, all the improvements are turned off, the straight path. Bottom line: the bass does not crush, but the same double bass is pleasantly tangible at low volume. Perfectly, vividly and elastic, string, voice, piano is natural. With an increase in the volume, everything happens harmoniously, the bass does not get out, while remaining surprisingly full -size for such small speakers.

Shells capable of filling the volume and power of noblniks.

Cons

Too sensitive "wheel" switching input/playback mode.

Review

There are no friends, this is not a ?bluetelass-column?, this is a real, adult acoustics with a built-in excellent amplifier and the possibility of switching like an adult integrant. Very bass, assertive, with a characteristic ?American?, frank sound. The traditional rhythm-n-blues in the style of ?eating on lame mare from Alabama?, and the electronic compression from Kebu on the immortal motives from the Georgio of our Morodyr .. will be excluded. The manufacturer and developers of this model is my respect, choosing, monotially recommend! PS. And we have not yet connected digital charms with Hi-Res but piled on bluetooth in mp3 format ..
