Critics' Consensus

“The Klipsch HD Theater 500 offers a compact, stylish design and good imaging from its horn tweeters at an affordable price. However, its sound quality lags behind comparable budget systems, and the cheap connectors and overly sensitive subwoofer volume control detract from the experience.”

“The Klipsch HD Theater 500 offers competent sound for a budget 5.1 system, but we like most of its competitors more.”
