Reviews of the Klipsch HD Theater 500

CNET Review
The Good: Six-piece, 5.1 satellite/subwoofer system; tiny, two-way satellites featuring horn-loaded tweeters; full-size 100-watt, 8-inch powered subwoofer; solid performance on movies.
The Bad: Spring-clip speaker wire connectors instead of five-way binding posts; system occasionally struggled with select music samples.
The Bottom Line: The new and affordable Klipsch HD Theater 500 package prioritizes sound quality over cosmetic glitz.
