Do these new Synergy S10 speakers sound as good or better than the older S-10 Klipsch speakers?

This would be hard for me to answer since I have never heard the older ones. The new ones I have for the center and surround are fine.

I thought so I really liked them but I just want definitive techongy speakers. But yes the sound very good and better then the older model. I do have a set forsale on here if you decide to buy them lmk

I cannot really report on a reference to the older S-10 speakers as these are new to me, however I can say that I switched from a Bose system the Synergy series and the change has been nothing short of dramatic. I have a pair of F-30, (1) C-20, and a pair of S-10s. The only real issue for me is the weight of these. It was difficult to find a set of floor standing stands that really can stand up to them, but once mounted they sound great.

I can't really compare the new to the old however, I will say that they are an excellent choice for rear surround speakers in a 5.1 Home Theater setup. I have had several other rear surround speakers over the past few years and these for the money, are tough to beat. The build quality seems solid and there is good sound clarity. I have been very pleased with them so far.

You shouldn't notice much difference in sound from when these are new and after they have played for a couple thousand hours... These are surround speakers so should be either the rear or side speakers which get very little use. Effect speakers in general see under 5% of what the front sound stage will see... I have never seen any proof that speakers needed to "break in", hook them up and enjoy...

Not at all.I Have used 450's for years and when I heard the K8's I could not believe how much better they sounded. They are way more HiFi than the Mackies which in my opinion are very PA sounding.So I bought a pair and it is hands down the best thing I have done to give my audience a real taste of what I am spinning.I am still blown away at how such a small enclosure can produce such deep bass and great overall dynamics. The top end is absolutely fantastic. These are really musical speakers and your audience will get to hear so much more of your music than through the 450's.Obviously everyone has their own opinion on speakers but for me this was a great upgrade to my system. And such a bargain too. 5 stars! Not at all.I Have used 450's for years and when I heard the K8's I could not believe how much better they sounded.

I wish I could answer your question. I have very limited experience with these speakers. I returned them a few days after I received them.

Yes, they are 10 years old but the good news is those speakers are some of the finest computer speakers money can buy! I had my first pair for about 5 years when I had to get a new pair. I first bought three other brands and was horribly disappointed. I finally went back to the brand you have. They have the best sound and volume. I still have the second pair to this day. Very good speakers! I'm still satisfied.

I own the RB-61 II, which are not the same, but still have the Klipsch sound signature that so many consider extremely bright and fatiguing. What I have noticed is that they are way too bright with very bad sources. For example, bad 128kbps mp3s. With FLAC, CDs or DD and DTS soundtracks they are just magnificent. Every time I listen to music I am familiar with, a smile appears on my face. They simply sound awesome.

Yes, these are the latest quintet set that Klipsch currently offers. I ordered mine from Amazon for the same reason. Lol and they are worth the money.

I put these in my 1999 Celica and they seem to make the factory system sound great. Of course the former speakers were blown. Bass is punchy and pretty damn good for door speakers. I think the system lacks some in the mid range, but the rear speakers are still a little dodgy and replacing them will probably do the trick. Note the factory speakers were impeadance 2 ohm and 25 watt. These are very different rated and only experimentation would demonstrate a superb speaker through comparison. I am pleased with the sound and the price. I would rather some infinity speakers but I might pay 3 times more and get only a little better sound, plus I didn't find any 8" ones, and these were a steal.

im not familiar with your present cans but i can tell you that i am extremely happy with these x10s i have! they sound better everyday as i break them in. i am using a headphone amp to drive them and they sound great ,lots of solid bass,great mids and crisp highs .im not sure if you will be using them portably or with a dedicated headphone amp and cd player like i am. i have a cambridge cd player and musical fidelity amp driving them so they sound really good. whatever your application i think you cant go wrong they are great cans very soft and comfortable. have fun!

I have had my Klipsch Synergy F-30 Series for 4-months. I have totally enjoyed them. The sound has been crisp and clean. For the value of $160, in my opinion, you can't beat it.

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.

Hello superz. I have to be honest. This is my second pair of the series. The S10 really sucked. So, yes these are much better by a totally new level. I will say the controls on the S11 are not my preference, but I can live with them. The sound is great and the band is no issue. As an addition, this pair comes with an additional band to adjust tightness, which I have found to appreciate while riding my bike. I recommend this headset for the buck.

I replaced a Klipsch 5.1 system with these and the clarity of sound is brilliant compared to the Klipsch. The base is moderate and I have not needed to add a sub yet (however the Klipsch 5.1 did have much more base but it had a sub)

dont know about that but i have the motion 10s the smaller motion 8s up on the wall and a M&L; sub and i am very happy with the sound. i was running the small motion 8s with the sub without the 10s for a while and those little speakers did great. very nice stuff.

I Have both and they both sound great! Klipsch go a little louder, but I have no complaints with either. My Klipsch are about 8 years old and still playing, Logitechs about 2. Go by price.
