Folks,
I am glad to share that finally I have completed my HT setup with Klipsch Quintet Satellites 5.0 and Polk Audio PSW 110 as my sub attached to my Yamaha RXV 473 AVR.
I got the quintets from US for $250, carried them in my checked in luggage, bought PSW110 through paytm for Rs.18,000/- and got Rs.5000/- cash back from them (effective cost Rs.13,000/-) Quite a deal!!! wires from amazon.com ( amazon basics 16 gauge 30 meters for $9, good quality, again carried it from US)
I was already using my RXV 473 with my old Sony 5.1 bookshelf speakers. The passive sub of which was converted to active.
So wanted a system upgrade basically.
Put on the first brrip of 4GB approx of MI5 which was DTS encoded. The fronts and surrounds were managing the pace well and were quite agile. The sub was churning out the deep and tight bass enough to shake my small room. Overall the sound quality was really very good. The bass didn't seem to be boomy.
Next day the second brrip we had put was PRDP on my family's demand.
Anyways the movie was handled so well by the speakers, especially centre channel, i had to increase it's level by +2 more than the rest of the speakers. But the sound quality was very crisp, clear and without any distortion.
I am yet to achieve their break in time so the full potential of the speakers will be evaluated by the time they are properly used for approx 40 hours as recommended by manufactures.
Music: Caution- Any requirement of music listening above 30% should be met with bookshelves and above.
Now coming to the music which bit disappointed me. As I was using my old Sony bookshelf speakers and had my old sub disconnected, I never felt the need of sub while playing music. The music was very much lively with my old Sony speakers since they are bookshelves. It's only when I switched on the sub with my current klipsch that music became lively and enjoying but still no comparison to bookshelves. Lot of people in the forum advised me to go for BS but since I was already using BS and thought of saving some space that I went for satellites. So will try to upgrade them to bookshelf in some years time as can not go back to Sony BS coz while upgrading from Sony to klipsch, i had to convince my wife how Sony is crap and klipsch are much better.
But would say with movie the overall experience is excellent.
For movie: 9/10
Music: 5/10
