punchy sound, able to take on stabbing snares and hi-hats as well as heavy artillery, So The Fives are a pleasing listen.

Pros

Decent price to performance ratio

Cons

no

I have small space, that's why I choose Jamo S 801. They sound rich and balanced, the sound is satisfying, clean, undistorted, and enjoyable. They are a great pair of speakers at this price point!

Pros

Huge sonic sound stage

Cons

Needs to be paired with subwoofer to deliver deepest bass

Review

Unpacking the Chora 806, I couldn’t help but notice their solid build quality and styling. The Chora’s satin finish wood-grain veneer is superb. Though if I’m allowed to nitpick, the Chora couldn’t quite earn a perfect score reproducing the piano’s definition and body. Bass response was very good for the driver size and frequency response. Focal’s designers clearly focused on the quality and not quantity of bass.

Pros

perfect natural sound

Cons

no

Review

I choose this speaker because it's multi-directional and can be fitted to a wall, the ceiling, or a stand with equal ease, it's very comfortable for me and for small apartment. Best compact speaker out there, sounds bigger than it looks. I tried some other box speakers that were a big step back from the IC100s, and was engulfed in sound with the Dome.I use them without the subwoofer and they provide a very mature bass.

Pros

Nice compact speaker with many connectivity options

Cons

no

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.
