Klipsch introduces new Quintet SL + Sub12 Home Theater Speakers

Klipsch introduces new Quintet SL + Sub12 Home Theater Speakers

Klipsch is going to introduce this month, a Flat-Panel version of their Quintet speakers, best-selling Home Theater package of the company. The five-channel Quintet SL kit is composed of 3 slender LCR (left, center, right) speakers and 2 satellites for surrounds, they are all magnetically shielded and employ 2*3.5inch woofers (1 woofer for the satellites) and a 0.75inch aluminum dome tweeter. Each speaker offers easy wall mounting and includes a pedestal foot for free-standing use. There is not so much precision on the speakers specifications but as the press note says the characteristics would be the same that the Quintet III speakers.

Also the Sub-12, an optional 12inch subwoofer will be available with built-in amplifier that delivers 300W RMS. In addition a (24dB/octave) low-pass crossover is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120Hz and an "auto power" feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off (standby) automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal.

The Quintet SL bundle is priced at $950 and the Sub-12 comes for $499.
