How does the product compare to the Klipsch KMC 3?

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

This is not a comparison of the two products but an add-on to the previous comment. I bought the JBL for my 33 year old musician son. He has bought the speaker to our house several times and says the bass is unbelievable for a small and very portable speaker. He LOVES it!

Klipsch has an upfront sound with high energy and very clear treble. That's what a lot of people like about them and what some don't like. I love the sound with rock especially when played loud. Voices really come out loud and clear

What is your use? Is it for a large outdoor installation? How far away are the speakers from the audience/listeners? The Klipsch AW-650 are pretty efficient, but I can tell you more with better specifics. Thanks,

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 believe Klipsch has a great warranty. I didnt use it. My set of these broke after about two weeks of use. One side just stopped working I was pretty disappointed. i just sent them back to amazon. the sound quality was great though

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)

I haven't heard the sound out of the Klipsch....but these little things ROCK. I like how the bigger one are multi directional....I have these hooked up to a 7.1 system and blow me away!

At that price I'd say you can't go wrong. I do think personally my PL-89's outperform the Synergy's. I find them more on par with the Reference series. Had them almost a year now and everytime I hear something else from them that surprises and delights my ears, not neighbors so much. Subtle at low volume and crystal clear at obnouis levels on anything you throw at them. Definitely have been worth every dollar I spent not sure I'd feel the same had I paid for Klipsch name. Full disclosure;I worked in high-end A/V for years and love Klipsch but for budget minded BIC is truly comparable and to 97% of listeners they couldn't appreciate the subtle differences.

Thank you for your inquiry. As we do not maintain technical specs for the competitions' speaker systems, this is a hard question to quantify. We can tell you that along with PolkAudio and Paradigm, Klipsch is one of our main competitors, and as such, our products will stand up in comparison with performance, quality, and craftsmanship. Our flagship XL series has been highlighted on sites like Audioholics and CNet, with rave reviews. Fluance uses Audio-grade MDF wood (medium density fiberboard) to construct our cabinets and high end components to fabricate our drivers and crossover units. They provide the best option for both music and home theater sound reproduction. The down-firing passive subwoofers in the towers provide you with an omni-directional distribution of bass frequencies that lend to a deeper immersion into the entertainment, while the neodymium tweeters will provide the crisp high-end frequency that you would expect with a quality speaker system. We invite you to try them so you too can see and hear what others have already enjoyed.

I'm not sure but I would recommend the Klipsch S4i instead, aprox. same price but much better and a lot more comfortable!!

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.

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."

I cannot compare the two sets, but I can tell you this: the Definitive Technology AW 6500 has a 10" woofer that reflects back off the mounted wall and gives incredible bass presence to the sound, plus a 6.5 mid-speaker as well as the 1" tweeter. The speakers you want to compare with these has a 5.5 inch woofer and a 1" tweeter. I don't see how the Klipsch can possible compare in fidelity.

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.

I replaced a Velodyne which originally sold for $2500 years ago and the Klipsch does an great job in a large living room.I am not familiar with the other brands except Polk which I use for outside speakers.

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
