Klipsch Introduces Quintet™ SL, Flat-Panel Version
of Best-Selling Home Theater Package
Step-up solution to further extend company’s surround sound popularity
With the Quintet™ Satellite
Microsystem being the all-time best-
selling home theater bundle for speaker
manufacturer Klipsch, the company
has launched a new step-up flat-panel
version called the Quintet SL.
“The Quintet Microsystem has been
wildly popular for us so it makes perfect
sense to turn it into a family affair,” said
Jim Garrett, Klipsch director of product
planning. “The Quintet SL once again
proves that compact dimensions and
sophisticated style can coexist with
dynamic sound.”
Comprised of three slender LCR (left, center, right) speakers and two satellites for surrounds, the five-channel Quintet SL
system incorporates over 60 years of class-leading research and development experience. For increased low-frequency power,
Klipsch recommends pairing the system up with its Synergy Series Sub-12 subwoofer that’s sold separately.
“Listening to movies through a flat-panel TV’s built-in speakers often yields a lackluster entertainment experience. A great
picture with mediocre sound won’t deliver the cinematic effect most folks crave,” said Garrett. “The Quintet SL and Sub-12
easily and affordably allow flat-panel owners to complete the movie theater experience at home. As the leader in professional
cinema sound, no other brand offers the same energy and intensity we do.”
Each magnetically shielded LCR speaker employs dual 3.5-inch high-output woofers and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome
tweeter mated to an exclusive Tractrix® Horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sound as well as produces more output
using less energy. Each also offers easy keyhole wall mounting and includes a pedestal foot for free-standing use as a left/
right main speaker or center channel.
The two satellites that serve as surrounds are the same speakers featured in the Quintet Microsystem. Each utilizes a 3.5-
inch long-throw woofer for remarkable detail and clarity and a 0.75-inch aluminum dome tweeter coupled to a MicroTractrix™
Horn for precise high frequencies. Additionally, these magnetically shielded satellites feature a swiveling pedestal foot for
convenient wall mounting or bookshelf placement.
The optional Sub-12 gets its hard-hitting intensity from a 12-inch, down-firing driver coupled to a highly efficient BASH
amplifier that creates 300 watts of continuous power and 650 watts of dynamic power. Its built-in, steep-slope (24dB/
octave) low-pass crossover is continuously adjustable from 40 to 120Hz. A phase control facilitates acoustical integration of
the subwoofer with the other speakers in the system. An “auto power” feature enables the subwoofer to turn itself on and off
(standby) automatically, based on the presence or absence of an audio signal.
In addition to using premium components throughout, the Quintet SL system has a modern, refined industrial design. While
the LCRs and satellites feature a dark gray finish with medium gray accents, the Sub-12 is available in a black ash vinyl finish
with titanium accents.
