Taste the Power of True Entertainment
As TVs have gotten slimmer and slimmer, aesthetics have improved as has visual resolution, increasing from 720p, to 1080p, to 4k and now 8k today. However, sound quality has suffered. Over the last few years, the sound bar has become the de-facto product people use to upgrade their TV sound. While a sound bar is a convenient plug and play option, sound bars do not offer true fidelity, stereo separation, a wide sound stage, and a large number of connectivity options.
Powered monitors, where one speaker has all the inputs and amplification built in, and the second speaker is passive, have provided an option for people who want better sound than a sound bar offers. Powered monitors provide true stereo separation, with sufficient cabinet size for driver excursion, lending more depth to the sound stage. Klipsch’s powered monitors also come with subwoofer outs, so if you want deeper bass, a sub can always be added.
The one thing missing from all powered monitors was HDMI-eARC – the easiest way to connect a sound system to your TV. HDMI-eARC allows a single remote ( the TV ) to control the sound system as well, in terms of powering it on and off, as well as increasing or decreasing the volume. That is why Klipsch built The Fives – the first powered monitor on the planet with HDMI-eARC, as well as a plethora of other connectivity options! Apart from HDMI, The Fives also offer BlueTooth, USB, analog, and even a phono-preamp to connect virtually any source you can think of. The DAC is a 192 kHz/96bit chip, promising high fidelity in digital decoding.
Klipsch’s award-winning, proprietary Reference acoustic horn-loaded technology in the Fives ensures loud and precise audio, superlative bass and low distortion to boot. With built-in dynamic bass equalization the ear’s ability to hear lower frequencies is also matched. This feature is usually only available in high-end AV Receivers.
Klipsch also realises that looks are as important as sound, especially for a product that will sit in your living room. As with all of Klipsch’s Heritage Inspired speakers, The Fives use high quality luxury materials, such as real wood veneer and cloth grills. Premium metal accents and a tactile input selector and volume control exude the feeling of a hand-made product. The Fives are truly unique in that they look as good as they sound – magnificent!
A soundbar, while basic and convenient, isn’t your only option anymore. With Klipsch powered monitors, you get speakers that are easy to connect to your TV that fill the room with traditional Klipsch sound – dynamic, loud, and with deep bass. With The Fives, you also get HDMI-eARC and a truly designer quality product.
