Klipsch The Fives powered speaker system | Crutchfield

Klipsch The Fives offer superb sound quality for a variety of applications, with a classic design (and a nod toward the Klipsch Heritage line) that lets them fit in anywhere. If you're looking for a set of stereo speakers that does it all, The Fives are an excellent choice.

Klipsch The Fives deliver the sort of warm, punchy sound Klipsch is known for. They feature the iconic horn-loaded design, and are bi-amped for the utmost in accuracy and detail. The Fives are finished with real wood and metal, giving them a solid, built-to-last vibe. These are meant to be a centerpiece for your listening area for many years to come.

What might be best about The Fives, though, is how versatile they really are. You can play music over Bluetooth, including aptX-HD for compatible devices. The Fives feature a built-in DAC, and you can pipe music in over USB from a computer, or by using the optical input.

There's an HDMI input with ARC, so you can hook them up to a TV and control the volume from your TV's remote. There are also analog inputs, including a switchable phono preamp so you can connect these directly to a turntable. If you have room for only one set of speakers, The Fives from Klipsch offer a ton of value and sound quality.

Excellent and concise discussion. Complex, but simple and perfect bookshelf speakers. Looking forward to getting some just for that purpose.

THANK YOU for the short-long throw explanation. Very helpful

great review! can you do a video on passive soundbars that you carry?

[Mixing_It_Up]

They look similar to classic Klipsch. Very cool!

Question.
You guys didn't mention the sub woofer in the video.
I understand that the klipsch fives become light years better when connected to a sub.
And the reason is because it automatically sends the low frequencies to the sub, allowing the drivers to offer much much better midrange. So that being said, why would anyone run these without a sub?

Does these speakers need a center channel speaker along with it?

[MarkBratanov]

You just recently did a video on best computer speakers. I was really hoping to use these as computer speakers (among general listening) -- would you all say that it's really intended for the living room and that near field listening would be less than ideal?

How do these compare to the sixes? I have the sixes but have been having constant Bluetooth issues. Thinking of swapping it for the fives.

How are they for movie watching compared to a sound bar? Especially the new generation 5.1 or higher sound bars. Are the dialogues clear? Is the sound immersive for movies / TV shows?

[Jawadagha]

Hello, thank you for the video, before buying I want ask those who know are these better or RP600m ? My use is video editing on a macbook pro.

Thanks for the Review, Can I use these speakers to make a Wireless Surround Right / Left speakers using SVS Soundpath wireless adapter and Yamaha TSR 7850 receiver on their pre outs ? I already have a 3.1 (2 - RP 8000F, 1 - 504 C, 1 - SPL 120) speakers on this receiver, I want to add two surround speakers but i want to do this wireless if possible ..

Might get something like this in future, What would the subwoofer add?

[salmonline]

Aha... Thomas and Stereo's review is starting to make sense now...

[lisapeacock]

Hiya, I've just bought the five's but I'm finding them to be very bassey. I've heard that there is a way to turn down the bass could you please tell me if you know. Thanks so much

Do you know if the walnut color of The Fives is a match for the walnut color of the Project Debut Carbon EVO turntable? I'm assuming it's probably a bit different but I haven't found anyone that owns both to see if it's a true match.

[mistermushroom]

Is the sub out the same as a LFE? If not, how do you connect the speaker to the subwoofer?

[SkipAM]

You website says this model is discontinued. Other sellers also seem to no longer have it on offer. Can you confirm this? If yes, are they working on some successor?

[nyraven]

Definitely interested but I'll wait for a sale $800 a little too rich for my blood!

[mwmoto]

How would I Hooke a jvc tape player up to these? I can’t seem to figure out the line phono switch I’m an idiot

[butchwillard]

Is the EQ (bass/treble) adjustable from the app? I understand it is a feature they have or plan to offer. Thx
