Reviews are far and betwen on these, and I asked a similar question a few days ago in the Klipsch thread as the set is $399 at Vann's. Paired with an AA sub for around $100 and it'd make a sweet little setup, but the wife said no to that and I went with refurb'd Polk RM6750 set off eBay for under $200.

To put it in perspective, for the same price as the Quintet SL, right now at Newegg you could get a pair of Monitor 60s, a CS1, a pair of Monitor 30s, and the same sub from AA for only $50 more than the option above. Based upon my reading here, if I had $550 to spend right now and hadn't already dropped $180 on the RM6750 set, I'd do just that.

But the Klipsch sure do look sweet. Good luck finding info, and please post back if you do get them!


EDIT: Vann's has the Quintet III as the deal of the week at $299 with 50' of 16ga speaker cable. Also lets you toss in a low-end Sony sub for an additional $50.
