The Klipsch Quintet Series 1 is a 5th generation home theater speaker system consisting of four satellite speakers and one center channel speaker. It features 90° x 90° Tractrix horns with aluminum 3/4" LTS compression drivers for detailed high-frequency response and 3-1/2" injection molded graphite woofers for balanced bass. The speakers have bass-reflex cabinets with rear-firing ports and anti-resonant AcoustaComp enclosures that reduce internal standing waves for clearer sound. The system has a frequency response of 110 Hz to 23 kHz, sensitivity of 91 dB for satellites and 94 dB for the center, and power handling of 50 watts (200 watts peak) for satellites and 75 watts (300 watts peak) for the center. The nominal impedance is 8 ohms. The speakers include keyhole slots and threaded inserts for flexible wall mounting. The system is finished in satin black with black cloth grilles and weighs approximately 3.75 lbs for satellites and 6.25 lbs for the center. It is designed to be paired with a powered subwoofer (sold separately) for full-range sound. The Quintet Series 1 was released around 2012 and is known for its compact size, high sensitivity, and clear, dynamic sound suitable for home theater use.
