Hii everyone, wants to check has anyone bought klipsch the fives from Amazon us??

Its cost around $700+ including shipping.

$200 cheaper than local. But without the 1year warrenty

Is it fine for the US set to use here?

Wondering is there any issue with the voltage here.

power spec is 100-240V 50/60Hz can work in Singapore but double confirm with the physical item (power label) when you received it, you might need to change the US power cord to UK type or use an adapter. Replacing the US to UK (with 5A fuse) power cord is better if you plan to power it daily for long hours.

Hi guys,

I am looking for a subwoofer to pair with the fives. Any suggestions or any comments on the subs below?
Its for a study desk, mainly for music.
Leaning towards Klipsch but a little bit painful on the wallet.

Yamaha NS-SW100
WHARFEDALE WH-S10E
Klipsch R-101SW

Hi All,

I am looking for recommendations for PC speaker mainly for music and pc gaming in my study room. Previously was using Klipsch pro media 2.1 but it died on me.

I was looking at audioengine A5+ not sure if it is any good.

budget - $500-$600

ELAC DEBUT CONNEX DCB41 - $692

Audioengine A5+ has RCA-in only. Elac Debut Connex has a lot of digital inputs. HDMI ARC if you connect to a TV with console. It also has USB in for connecting to PC, Phono/RCA, Optical in and a Subwoofer out.

Have u tested it? Is it good?
It's not bad for a Bluetooth portable speaker. Clarity and bass is fine, but soundstage feels narrow which is probably to be expected.

When I compared to my Edifier R1850db, it is not near the level of clarity and soundstage of it. For a similar price, Edifier R1280db will be also be better sounding I think.

R1280DB at $88? You gotta be kidding...
