Product Description
The Klipsch F-1 Synergy floorstanding loudspeaker offers a winning combination of powerful bass with remarkable detail and high volumes with low distortion, making it a perfect delivery source for today's advanced digital music formats. The F-1's virtuosity comes from its 6.5" IMG woofer and 1" aluminum dome compression driver coupled to an exclusive square Tractrix(R) Horn. It also features a custom, sculpted port that is located on the front baffle near the floor for intense low-frequency extension. The F-1 offers bi-wire capabilities allowing the use of one or two speaker level inputs as desired for improved connectivity. Available in a black finish with titanium accents, the contemporary look of the F-1 is two-fold. With its grille on, the F-1 offers a sense of elegance that nicely blends in with your home décor, but take the grille off and you get an aggressive and powerful statement that exudes extreme performance.

Almost Like Live

Comment:
These speakers replaced thirty-year-old ones that had definitely heard better days. When I hooked up the Klipsch speakers and put on one of my favorite CDs, I was blown away by the quality of the sound. On a track of Bach's "D-Minor Violin Concerto", it sounds like Stern and Shaham are playing in the room. You can hear the sound of musicians' breathing and the squeak of their fingers moving on the strings. The speakers are great, of course,with other styles of music as well. I'm sorry I didn't get them sooner.

Great Entry Level Speaker

Comment:
I have had these speakers in use now for close to a month and love them. I had listened to them in the "big box" electronic here locally and bought them on Amazon. They are a great value for the price and compare well to the $700 speakers in the same "big box" stores. The build quality seems to be fantastic, and I truly do enjoy them!
Comment:
I am extremely impressed with the sound from these speakers. I use them mostly movies or music. Much better then my old 3 2 1 Bose system I had.

Outstanding Speakers

Comment:
These speakers are absolutely wonderful. I have them hooked up to a Yamaha HTR-5940 receiver. I am using them as the front channel speakers, along with an S-2 as a center (got a good deal from a friend), and B-2s as surrounds, along with a Sub-12.
Sound Quality:
The F-1s shine no matter what I am using them for. They are superb for stereo listening, and they handle the front effects channels for 5.1 very well too. They handle all types of music very well.
Appearance/Size
These speakers are slim. They are of the perfect height that the drivers are at ear level when sitting on a couch. The grills look nice, but I prefer to keep them off because I think the speakers look much cooler without them. I went to a retailer and was looking at the synergy speakers and the F-2s and F-3s are so big and heavy that they'd be kind of a pain for me, but the F-1s are easy enough to move around if you're just trying to clean behind them.
Connections:
The F-1 is ready for bi-wiring, but I tried it and didn't notice any difference so I went back to single wiring for simplicity's sake. The binding post type connectors are great because they accept thick speaker wire without any issues, or you can use banana plugs.
Note: The finish is not exactly "easily" damaged, but it can't take too much of a beating either, so be delicate with these speakers (of course, you would be delicate with any audio equipment anyway, right?).
Overall, these are great speakers. Well worth the price.

Comment:
If you choose a smaller room for your home theater like I have these towers will impress you every time. I have these plus the matching center, surrounds and sub mated to a THX rated Yamaha receiver. I usually get one of two reactions from people after hearing my system; "I need to re-calibrate my system" or "I need to upgrade". And that is coming from HT buffs that have spent much more than I. The bottom line is amazing performance for the money. I would imagine to get the same performance in medium to large rooms the F-2 or F-3 may be needed.
