Never heard the sixes but these speakers are well worth the coin. Listing the specs on the fives is irrelevant. These speakers put out way more than this size driver has any business doing. I have had the Vanatoos and tuks in the same room as I have these and ya maybe I would take the t1e’s in a small room over these and for the price but the fives can hold their own in a bigger room, sound great for pretty much any application. I don’t see passive speakers being paired with An integrated amp for this price sounding this good for the everyday music lover. Center presentation is great even if you aren’t seated in the mist optimal position, these are just fun. If you need a more accurate speaker in a smaller room then t1e’s every time but if just an all in one package that is capable of it all then the fives.
qobuz had a review of these. Said they underwhelmed with classical music.
800 seems like much. Sometimes RP600ms are on sale for 500, add something like a IOTAVX SA3 and the experience will much better.
Guess its for soundbar people.
never understood those kinda people

Joe N Tell review is up:
Oh, crap. It really looks like they just got rid of the Klipsch “house sound” and went 100% DSP-corrected smoothness to appeal to everyone. 
I mean, I haven’t heard it, but the graphs are really smooth, with the bass a bit boosted. No peaks anywhere etc. Maybe you can disable the DSP correction?
You can disable it. I got used to it on and actually enjoy them a lot. I am not an audiophile or anything close to that so take it for what it’s worth. With bass correction on it basically gives a boost to the bass at lower volumes. I don’t mind it for certain recordings but voices and treble can get lost in the increased bass. I’m keeping mine. Great speakers for me who returned the t1e’s and the kanto tuk’s but I just really like the output for the size and have found these to be really fun and versatile. T1e’s are going to be way more accurate and present a better sound stage imo while the fives make almost all the sound feel like it is coming from a center point. The fives are a bit bigger and output more, again just my opinion based off what I remember from when I had them in last year. Smaller room and audiophile go vanatoo. Bigger room or just want fun then the fives might be “enough.” I wish the fives could have hit the vanatoo price mark which in all reality is just incredible but I don’t regret sending the t1e’s back and waiting for something I find to be more fun and versatile for me.
So the feature kinda works like AV amplifiers “Dynamic EQ”.
Maybe not as good/well since no room measuring but similarly.
“Corrects the frequency response in consideration of the audio characteristics of the room and human hearing ability so that sound can be heard even at low volume.”
Would imagine they sound decent at any level, specially with TV usage.
With those type of features there are areas, they don’t sound so natural anymore. With music you will notice plenty of differences.
I have a device that can adjust the levels based on volume. The RME ADI 2 has a feature that puts the FR in a deep V shape at low volumes (where it as most effective) and then flattens it as you go to higher volumes. This sounds similar. It’s actually quite a useful feature for when you have guests and want dynamic music at low volumes.
Most receivers used to call this loudness setting or night listening, but it basically is working with the equal loudness contour
Right. Receivers have had that feature FO-evah. I remember my dad having a big silver receiver monstrosity with VU meters that had “loudness.”.
The ADI-2 instruction manual makes a big deal about how they digitally adjust the loudness curve with the volume. I don’t know if other devices do this too, but the ADI 2 manual talks about it like they were reinventing the wheel, lol.
I really wish more modern preamps and integrateds had loudness and tone control tbh, just simple things that can be more pleasing
It’s quite nice at low levels. Or even moderate levels when I am trying to show off my speakers to non audiophiles. Those folks tend to like the V shape. Hence Kplisch’s success.

Yes @M0N I’m copying you, it’s you who taught me what the Fletcher-Munson curve was. 
That could be called brainwashing or marketing also. “You just received a good H job - how about some blowing”.
My amp also has this feature but im not using it, cause good speakers. 
I’m going into a housing situation where my floor standing speakers and other home theater stuff just won’t fit. It’ll be a year before I can consider another setup so I’ve been interviewing soundbars while my Ariel 10ts are being garaged.
I’m super stoked to find a way to use ARC with what seems like a decent speaker. I think I could wall mount these next to the tv and be happy for the next year.
Woah! Got these in today and they produce WAY more bass than they have any business producing. In many ways this is great because I have no intention of getting a sub. But man does it throw the balance off in certain scenarios. Definitely good enough to keep me happy for the next year, and there’s a chance klipsch comes out with an eq for these in their app that sounds more reasonable.
Also if you try to send them signal through arc that is Dolby digital surround they just play nothing. So I had to set my apple to to downgrade everything to stereo, not a huge compromise but something to look out for. Happy to have these over a sound bar any day.
Interesting. Zeos seems to really like these. I’m not a fan that he keeps repeating the price. But his impressions reinforce my decision so I agree 
DSP with these and their connectivity to the app opens them up to get even better, which is astounding.
Over the last few days there have been a few scenarios where I just start laughing at these because these speakers have no business sounding as big as they do. They deliver more mid bass than my full range ariels. My wife looks at me like I’m crazy. But these have such an aggressive low end delivery I can’t believe it every time I hear it.
