By superedge88
The title pretty much says it all. This speaker is a perfect balance between versatility and sound quality.Versatility- This speaker bridges the gap between the minimalist audio equipment approach that is so popular in most living room layouts. Most people really don't want big floor standing speakes that they need to make room for in their floor plans. The Klipsch RSX-5 speaker solves this problem. You can have it sitting on a bookshelf with the base swiveled beneath the speaker (as seen in most pictures of this speaker) or you can swivel the base to make it wall mountable, or even mountable to the ceiling!Sound Quality- Most speakers of this size and versatility do not even approach the sensivity ratings that this speaker reaches. For those that are not familiar with these ratings I will give you an example. GENERALLY speaking anything above 90 db sensitivity ratings are considered efficient speakers. For every 3 db there is basically a doubling in sound output. Most speakers that are small like this one have poor efficiency and are rated at around 89-90 db at best. This speaker is rated at 93 db, which means that it can get twice as loud as the 90 db rated speaker! So you won't have to crank up the volume knob quite as much to get to that perfect volume level you love. The main reason for this high sensitivity rating is the horn tweeter. You get stunning dynamics from it, whether it be a subtle twinkling of a tambourine, or the crash of breaking glass, this titanium tweeter matched up with the horn is STUNNING. The 5.25" cerametallic woofer is very light and can produce bass down to just below 100 hertz quite easily. This speaker was made to be matched up with a subwoofer, so the fact that this speaker does not have ground shaking bass can not be seen as a fault, since it was simply not designed to do so.This speaker is my personal choice for surround sound wall mountable speakers. This speaker has wall mounts built in, which for many speakers that are this size you have to buy wall mounts seperately that are cumbersome and don't look aesthetically pleasing. It can be hard to find this speaker since it is no longer being made by Klipsch, but you can still find this speaker in the used market. If you need loud, accurate, stunning sound from a speaker that you can hide almost anywhere, that won't break the bank, This is the speaker for you, but you MUST match it with a subwoofer to gain the low bass tones we all love.
