BEST BUDGET WIRED 5.1 HOME THEATER SPEAKERS – Klipsch Reference Theater Pack Unboxing & Review
BEST BUDGET 5.1 HOME THEATER SPEAKERS – Klipsch Reference Theater Pack Review
What the WHAT?! This 5.1 theater speaker set packs a PUNCH, along with an insane price point! And this ain’t some no-name brand either…it’s from KLIPSCH! So you know it’s quality. I review the Reference Theater Pack and give you a few pointers along the way. Check it out!
*CORRECTION: I made the mistake of circling the wire terminals and called them the “keyhole mounts” on both the satellite and center speakers. D’OH! My bad. The keyhole mount holes are actually in the exact spot as the ¼ ” threaded insert. Sorry for any confusion!

How durable is the sub? I set it to 50 percent on the gain and it is insane how boomy it is, almost makes me worry about blowing it out during a big explosion haha
NEW egg had this on sell for $157. Looks like they just sold out. I GOT MINE (:
Your graphics are wrong, bro. The keyhole mounts and the threaded mounts are the same spot, and you're circling the speaker wire slots saying they're keyhole mounts.
Are the other speakers besides the subwoofer wireless? Need to know if I need to buy speaker wire and at what Guage.
£620 on amazon! not exactly budget
pure cony joke no review
Probably a little over an hour. 4 guys running a 10 minute course then I run it.
I went to buy this from Costco but it looks like this set is no longer available. 😩
This video is painful to watch. No good info just non funny filler.
I've never been so relieved to hear "Just kidding"
Which reciever – what ohm rating are these speakers
So The Speakers Are Wired – I ASK Because I Don't See Connectors For Wires
I want purchase klipsch reference 5.1 hometheater
Does anyone have a problem with the sub ? When it’s doing its thing i can hear way too much air coming out from the bottom, if that makes any sense?
Hello, thank you for the review and information. I've had an Onkly DTR 5.5 receiver only ever connected to my dated Bose AM5 which still sound incredible. But time has come to replace with a 5.1 set of speakers. I found this set and made a purchase via Amazon (expected delivery this week) since Costco was out of stock. The set should be more than sufficient to improve what we had previously in our family room, really looking forward to hearing it all. Once again, thank you … very helpful info, well done!
I purchased 2 of this on sale at Costco , make a 5.2.4 with 2 center speakers power the set up with a Yamaha receiver.
Sounds amazing.
It has consistently been $299 at Adoroma with free 2 day shipping. Extremely satisfied. Also what crossover frequency on the sub do you recommend?
Love this video good editing lol your awesome dude
849 in Seattle
I just picked this up for $300 from Adorama
The paid link is broken now. May want to fix it brother!
Need help guys!
My subWoofer is not working
Connected my TV HDMI Arc to Sony STR DH540 HDMI Arc out (with high-speed HDMI cable). Connected Klipsch wireless receiver to the AV receiver subwoofer out. Then powered in both Klipsch subW and wireless receiver. Constant blue lights are on. TV settings changed so ARC HDMI is active…. still woofer does not work.. (Have not connected other speakers to AV receiver yet)….what can I try to troubleshoot? Please help.
do you really have to talk and behave like a 2 year old?
OK, I need help then. I have this htip, a Denon avr s660h, and an LG TV with both optical and ARC. I cannot for the life of me, get it to sound decent. I did the auto setup with the mic, and it still sounds like garbage. Please help!
I got this pack, and a refurbished Yamaha tsr-700 receiver as a Black Friday bundle from Newegg. 4 year warranty, everything came in just shy of $800 after tax. All I have to do is put it together lol.
Do you need a receiver if I wanted to buy this sound system ?
