How is this older version - I read that it's really a 4 rather than an older 5 as it is posted - different from the new Quintet 5?

I love these speakers and they are very loud with the right receiver. We play both movies and music literally every other day and never experienced any popping, distortion, or fuzziness. The only thing I would change would be the tilting or swiveling. When I installed them in my living room, it was a little annoying having to hide the wires. I ended up cutting a small slot in the plastic for it to have no wires, but other than that they are the beat speakers I've opened. If your not sure to get the newer vs old, I'm not really the best person to speak to bc I never heard or experienced the new ones. But for me and what I have and know, I wouldn't trade or sell mine for anythingGood luck!! I love these speakers and they are very loud with the right receiver.

You are correct those are the series 4 version of the speakers. I choose those because of the built-in wall mounts/stands on the series 4...and the price difference didn't hurt either. I can't tell the difference in sound quality.

The sound is ok. I definitely rate it a 4. But if you combine them with a good subwoofer like the velodyne you will love those spaeakers

The Klipsch packaging labeled it a 5. I've had it for 2 years and it is the best system I have found anywhere near this price.
1546141
as stated by Eric B. the 5 refers to the number of speakers, not the version number. i love mine and use them for watching tv, movies, playing games and listening to music. i have a separate subwoofer that i added to make a complete 5.1 system.

I do not know if they are a 4 or an older 5 but I have a set that was listed on Amazon as a 5 that I bought over a year ago. The sound is very good combining them with a sub-woofer and you will have a system that you will be happy with. I am glad I bought Klips.

The "5.0" in the name refers to the fact that the set comes with 5 speakers, not a version number. If it came with a sub-woofer it would be "5.1" as the 1 indicates a single sub-woofer. It looks like the new version is just a slight redesign but I actually prefer the look of these more because they come on nice looking stands (excluding the center speaker). I also think they have very good sound quality & I'm quite pleased with them. If you do get this set, I would definitely recommend getting a sub-woofer.

The specs look to be the same. There isn't enough information out for the 5Rb to see if anyone has found anything.

Hey MelissaS, I've been researching the Garmin GPS's for a couple of weeks and can tell you the differences I've seen. The 255W has a few of "new" features in their 2x5 line but the two that I've seen people the most happy with in the reviews I've read are the satellite "hotfix" and the faster processor. The "hotfix" is supposed to speed up satellite acquisition immensely by having the unit remember where it was turned off last so it can calculate where the satellites should be when you turn it back on and from what I've read it works like a charm. The faster processor will speed up things like map drawing and looking up points of interest which people have really seemed to also notice in their reviews. The big drawback of the 255 and 255w is the text to speech voice quality (this is the voice that pronounces street names). Apparently the voice quality isn't as good on the 255 line as it is in the previous products due to the voice engine Garmin has used in this model...most people I've read say they can live with it but some bring it back due to the quality. I would goto a store and try both side by side to see if you can live with the quality. I did that today and was able to understand what the 255w was saying even in a busy store but still think I'll wait for the 265WT in October. Hope that helps!

Thanks Pete. I was considering this as I figured this was digital but I am guessing its not? Wanted to avoid the mechanics of a 3.5. I have an ssd drive in a pc I built and it screams. So this hard drive spins then I take it and is not digital as I first assumed. I see now that assumption was wrong and there is no advantage other than size. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your replies! It seems Amazon is shipping the old version, but it's fine and better yet, the price is good. thanks again!

I just received from Amazon what apparently is the older, A version, and am returning it because it's defective--it turns itself off for no reason. (Amazon's shoddy packaging job probably didn't help.)Will I get the the version B model (HKGOPLAY5BLK) if I ask them to replace it? Both versions are showing delivery in 2 to 4 weeks; do they still have stock of the older models?

The 4665 was March 2007 and the 4061 was Feb 2007. I remember seeing March 2007 for the 4065 somewhere in my travels. Anyway, I just received the 4065 2 days ago - after 2 years of analysis paralysis. It is phenomenal! But let me say - I'm no audiophile or techie - just a regular person. I have not checked everything out yet - I can't get past marveling at the HD.

I believe this was the most up to date unit, they have been around a while and I wasnt aware that there was a newer version for maybe quite some years? Don't know for sure though, I suspect the price drop (as well as the price drop on the G-system) that has occurred fairly recently is a sign that they may be poised to release some new models? but have searched and found nothing on this subject. This was a nice unit though!

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal.

It doesn't run 7, so you get the latest 6 point something update. I haven't had any issues with it yet.

F5 is the version ive seen on this board. There are a few revisions online.

Its great, but there is a newer version out. If you don't need the newer version, then this is the best for the price($700)

The colors are different, I think.If you google pics of each generation, it might help.The size and shapes may differ as well.The older gen was more square than the 4th and 5th

After using old and new version here is my conclusion: The old version was good; loud, strong vibrations, easy to use and small. But it had its issues the battery cover would frequently fall off and the belt clip would break off too easily when it was in your gym bag or if you knocked it while exercising. Thankfully the new version seems to have addressed these problems. They have made it so the belt clip is removable so it won't break in your gym bag and having looked at the clip itself it seems more solid so it seems like this will be much more hard wearing. Been using the new model for about 2 months 6 days a week and no issues. Hope that helps

I personally like this model because of the 5th caster wheel. It was easier to turn, especially when I took it to the mall. I think this one is just a little smaller with smaller storage because of the wheel. But I enjoy easy steering over storage.

Oh I'm sorry. I though tthis was for a different one. I got the 24 K gold one. That one was a better quality. It was only 99 but now its 300. This one is nice, but....the saxophone broke off the chain after a month or so. I tried getting a new one and then I didn't bother when i got the real gold one.
