How does this compare to the klipsch kmc 3?

Having never heard the kitsch I am unsure however I can tell you I bought a dozen soundcast Melody units due to positive reviews and everyone raves still about them.

I had the same question when buying my Klipsch speakers. When talking to the Klipsch people I was told that the technology for the quintet systems were all the same and that they would all sound the same. They gave me the impression that there weren't different versions (only one Klipsch quintet). I'm not quite sure if this was true or which version I have, if there are different versions of the quintet, but the ones I got sound good and I purchased them from Amazon about 6 months ago.

I still use the Kef speakers as my surround speakers and they are really good. My front speakers are klipsch. Center channel is also Kef. Never felt the need to change them.

Klipsch has bigger speakers 12" and has deeper bass resonance when placed on hard floor. It has better bass tonals than JBL dancehall speakers. My neighbors complained to my landlord when I saw Jurassic Park when it was coupled with my Bose 901's. I literally saw the water disturbance on my cup of water.

I personally like the AKG K712 using the bass boost on the kunlun. Keep in mind that if you have it hooked up to your computer with the PC in setting there is a slight humming noise which is annoying.

they are completely different. M50 are closed, transportable, rugged - better for dj, on the move... K701 are for home use only. max comfort, open (=of course much better sound). Adam, in-ear.com

The Klipsch Quintet III system is way better than the Energy Micros. I know they are not the same as the classic, but I was offered the Energy Micros since the classic was discontinued. After comparing the two systems, there was no question that I had to return the Energy Micros and pay the associated "restocking fee."

Almost impossible to answer... the KEF is a dynamic bookshelf size speaker and is superb at any price. The ESL type (I have stacked Quad 57s) are also excellent. I can say that I use the KEF in my bedroom system and am totally satisfied. It is really a matter of scale, not so much sound quality.

The JBL is awesome. The Klipsch is very good. Neither is a loser. I thought the JBL sound was richer and recharges the ipad/phone while is plays. The Klipsch is portable but a battery hog. If you NEED wireless then the Klipsch but if you are looking for great sound go with JBL

Logitech does not make any speakers that can come anywhere close to having sound quality on par with the cheapest set of Klipsch speakers. Forget everything you've seen about the amount of power because that doesn't tell you anything about how well it well sound. Both speaker systems get plenty loud. If you don't believe me, buy both and return the Logitechs after you realize how terrible they sound in comparison.

Hi. I'm a Klipsch guy from way back and would have to say this is one of their more disappointing products. It can get loud enough for a smaller room but the plastic case tends to vibrate and there's too much distortion. Would be better off with a couple of nice small bookshelf speakers driven by a dock.

You got me. I just tried the tour buds vs a set of klipsch buds. The tour were perceptibly better than the klipsch but not worth a hundred dollars more.

I have the original Heresy 1 speakers from the late 70's and the klipsch reference series is a very close match in timber for klipsch heritage speakers like the heresy short of another heresy. If you have a small to medium size room the klipsch rc-42ii works just fine that's what I have with my heresy 1 speakers along with rb41ii bookshelf speakers for surround. If you have a large room go for the bigger RC-52ii. The RC42ii may be small but it packs a good punch for its size although you should set it for small on your receiver. I set my crossover point at 100Hz

Both speakers will kick/shake hard but logitech has a slight edge in that it has a 7 inch woofer vs the 6.5 inch in the Klipsch. I know the trend these days is to get the best possible sound for a given budget out of the smallest speaker but IMHO there is still no replacement for displacement (as the saying goes).

Well, that is my personal opinion but definitely I prefer the Klipsch over the soundmagic because they are more comfortable and they block noise better, also, the control buttons in the soundmagic are not as good as in the klipsch, they are so close together that you press the wrong one a lot of times. I have used soundmagic and the bass is stronger but other than that the sound of the Klipsch is more refined and if durability is an issue, go for the rugged ones, they should last for a long time.

The Z623 get my vote. As mentioned in my review, every time I adjusted the Klipsch speakers I tested they gave me static feedback every time I went to tweak them. Even my 12 year old heavily used and abused $50 Logitech X220 speakers don't do that.

The KMC 3 is about the size of a loaf of bread, but a little bigger. It has a handle on top that makes it very easy to carry. I haven't heard the KMC 1, but I can't recommend the KMC 3 any more highly. I would say that if sound quality is your highest criteria, the increase in size won't be a factor. It's an amazing speaker.
