Klipsch Synergy Series SLX/Sub-10 System
In the October/November 2005 issue of HDTV ETC., reviewer Michael Baker boasted about the Klipsch Synergy Series SLX/Sub-10 combo's nice blend of form and function. Liking the system so much, he gave it a Top Choice Award and declared, "Would I own them? You betcha!"
"How the SLX attaches to, works while on, and removes from the bracket is going to have a lot of competing product designers experiencing the ol' palm slap to the forehead, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"Positioning the SLXs for optimal performance was easy. After making small adjustments to the amount of toe-in, I got a very clear, focused image with nice dimensions."
"As noticeable as the speaker's directionality was the very convincing center channel effect obtained from just the right and left speakers."
"Regarding the "Tapered Array," I heard clear, open, heavy when necessary, but never boomy vocals, which I believe is a direct result of this design feature."
"This well-executed crossover arrangement provides bass when needed, but does not unnaturally "color" difficult and dynamic dialog with overly bass-heavy voices. True to Klipsch's four design principles, the SLXs did not require the Denon receiver to be cranked on in order to achieve very impressive volume levels without apparent strain, and, most notably, with less compression than many other speakers using small drivers and limited cabinet space."
