Have you heard the name of Klipsch company? Klipsch Audio Technologies is an experienced manufacturer of first rate quality and no compromise audio gadgets. That is why if you purchase a Klipsch product, be sure that you get the best one. At the same time the company is known for rather high prices, which makes some people think twice before purchasing a Klipsch.
Today Klipsch tends to change such perception of its production by means of considerably lower prices. And their first step is a new 5.1 home cinema speaker system named as HD Theater 500. The price of such a gadget is only $600, which makes HD Theater 500 the cheapest model ever made by Klipsch.
The home cinema system consists of four satellite speakers, a center speaker and a powerful subwoofer. The height of each satellite is 4 inches; the width of a central speaker is as much as 9 inches. Each of these components features a woofer and a horn-loaded tweeter. Speakers have a capability of 40 degree lateral adjustment thanks to wall mount plastic brackets. That is a quite good idea that allows you changing speakers’ position for better performance. The system’s manufacturers offer floor stands and a rubber cradle as well. So you are free to choose which option is preferable for you. Pay attention that satellite speakers come with rubber pads. They are essential if you place speakers on a shelf, because while watching a movie loudly speakers tend to move, and rubber pads prevent them from moving.
The subwoofer features an 8 inch woofer on the bottom and an amplifier inside the box. The subwoofer looks quite plain yet nice. Its corners are slightly curved, and its rare panel has a port for mounting it. Dimensions of the gadget are 13.9 x 12.5 x 12.5 inches.
HD Theater 500 is a middle home cinema speaker system of the line. Among the others there are HD Theater 300 and HD Theater 1000, which cost $400 and $900 respectively.
