Product Description
Is your flat-panel TV lonely? The HD Theater 500 is the perfect match for any video screen. It'll make you fall in love with your favorite music and movies all over again, filling every performance with passion and intrigue.
The Klipsch HD Theater 500 is a compact, high-definition 5.1 home theater system that's simple to set up and use. It consists of five speakers-left, center and right front channels with two rear surrounds-and one powered subwoofer. Please note this system does not include an A/V receiver, speaker wire or a subwoofer cable.
Each main and surround speaker is a sealed enclosure finished in high-gloss piano black with a 2.5-inch IMG woofer and a MicroTractrix Horn-loaded 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter inside. The magnetically shielded center channel-so it won't interfere with your TV picture-shares the same durable, high-quality attributes, except it employs dual woofers.
But what makes these speakers and center channel truly unique is their horn-loaded technology, an exclusive design that has made Klipsch an industry leader for over 60 years. It allows the HD Theater 500 to deliver genuine lifelike sound and produce more output, using less energy. In other words, it doesn't require a lot of amplifier power to drive it. Over half of all new theaters in North America and several other countries choose Klipsch professional products because of the amazing benefits of horn technology.

 Crisp, Clear, and Big Sound! November 19, 2009

I have owned this 5.1 speaker system for 2 weeks. I have them connected to a Denon AVR-790 receiver. I am thrilled with the results - even though I have an unconventional setup. The living room and kitchen are conected as one 10 x 20 foot room - with a cathedral ceiling. Yikes!
This is my first surround sound system, and suffice to say, I was overwhelmed with the many 5.1 choices between the HTIB (Home theater in a box) and all the individual receivers with separate speaker systems. However, I'm not a newbie to great sound. I could join the AARP if I wanted to!
Anyways, I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Klipsch 500 after many months of research online and hearing them at my local electronics warehouse store. The store gave me an offer I couldn't refuse.
My requirements were that I needed smaller speakers for the decor and the lack of space. The Klipsch 500 fit the bill. Moreover, the 8 inch powered subwoofer is more than enough ooomph for TV, music, and movies. A nice thunder!
My center speaker rests on the TV stand in front of the LCD TV on the Klipsch supplied rubber mat to hold it in place. It's inconspicuous and does the job of keeping the center speaker stationary. I purchased a couple of inexpensive speaker stands for the 2 front speakers.
I mounted the 2 rear speakers "in the "kitchen" on the opposite wall that the TV is on. I appreciate that the satellite speakers all come with plastic adjustable wall mounts that you can position toward your ears. I needed the mounts to position the rears horizontally at 8 feet above the floor pointing toward the chairs. I ran my rear speaker wires under the floor in the crawl space to hide them. That helps!
The only negative comment I have on the Klipsch 500 is the plastic spring-clip connectors on the back of the speakers. It does seem cheap - and not in a good way. I took off a star on my rating for the features because of that. But they do hold my 18 guage wire just fine. Conversely, I bought and used banana plugs to connect the other end of the speakers to my Denon receiver. That is a more secure connection. Nevertheless it's the sound I was after and the connections just needed to connect. All of them do.
I used the easy-to-use Audyssey auto-setup that came with my Denon receiver to balance the sound and voila! Instant home theater! Okay, so it took a little longer than an instant, but the results are just amazing.
Consequently, after 2 weeks of listening to the sweet sounds of 5.1 I would not hesitate to recommend the Klipsch 500 to anyone who wants crisp, clear, and big sound! I love em! I really love them!

bought these with a yamaha 465 reciever from worst buy. the first set had 1 speaker that was messed up, it would send my reciever into protection mode when the volume was kranked up. i took that set bake to worst buy and exchanged it. no problems now. it was totally worth it as the sound for movies is perfect.
the room i put them is is 15x18 mounted all of the speakers on the wall with the adjustable mounts that come with it. the black matches my lg tv perfect and will probably match most tvs out there. you will need to buy speaker wire and a sub woofer cable (please don't buy monster cable it's to expensive and lower quality than what you can find for the same if not cheaper do some research on wire and cables) also some sort of screws to mount the sattelite speakers (if thats what you want to do) i went and got drywall anchors from lowes.
The satelite speakers are small enough to blend in but not so small that you don't notice them. the sub woofer is mate black and quite a bit larger you will ned to leave some space somwhere fo it but it doesnt look bad sitting next to a tv stand. the sub has rubber feet in it that are about an inch and a half tall and the woofer cone is exposed on the under side so it would probably be bad to locate it on long or deep carpet.
the sound is very balanced, not to bright or to warm. it is also very clear just as good or better than the bose systems they sell at worst buy for twice as much. with the blue ray hd sound you hear everything in the movie(one of our friends came over and in a rainy scene she asked if it had started raining outside). this stuff handle as loud of sound as i can handle; my girlfriend actually came home while i was watching transformers and told me it was loud in the driveway. it also plays music very well but the sub woofer has a little trouble keeping up with some of the metal i listen to when its kranked ( you can still hear all the guitar parts clearer than most other sound systems though.
i would recomend spending a little extra time and money buying this over most htib sistems as you can usually get these speakers and an excelent reciever in a package for under 800 bucks. there are higher quality speakers out there but these are as good as it gets for the price.
Excellent sound and excellent shipping! January 15, 2010

This is the fastest delivery i have ever had with Amazon without using the prime shipping. In 2 days, it was delivered to me just before Christmas and i was so happy. Unfortunately, the subwoofer cable was delivered separately so i had to wait for after Christmas to hook them up.
I am not a tech guru but just who loves to hear smooth sound coming out from the small speakers. Excellent home theater surround sound system hooked up to an old Sony STR 695 receiver and a 46 inch Sony bravia flat LCD TV. What a great sound, just like in the movie theaters! Now I am addicted to it. However, when it comes to listening to music, sound is not as smooth as i expected it to be. It still needed an extra graphic equalizer to create a better smooth low noise sound. Nevertheless, i still ranked it high due to its awesome quality of sound.

Excellent set of speakers. I previously had a mix of Bose and Polk speakers. I have a medium sized living room and these perfectly matched Klipsch speakers just simply sound a whole lot better. The crispness of the speakers bring out detail I had never heard before. The speakers are small and blend in well with my entertainment center. I would definitely buy these speakers again.
Very good speaker package! February 24, 2010
Dean Fife (Omaha, Nebraska United States)
Pros: Good looking, great sounding, good for both movies and music, good value, overall solid construction.
Cons: Great sound at normal listening levels but may not be enough sound for large environments, speaker terminals do not securely lock speaker wire
Other Thoughts: I have this pared with a SONY STR-DH700 AV receiver and I compare this favorably with my 4 year old VERY expensive Bose surround sound system at normal listening levels. You may need to step-up to the larger Klipsch system if you have a large area, mostly due to the 100 watt subwoofer limitation. But for most people at regular listening levels with mid-sized rooms, this will do just fine.
