Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Klipsch B-3 Synergy Bookshelf Loudspeakers (Pair, Black)Customer Review: Great for the price... Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably an unfair review, but I think it may just show what a great deal these speakers are. I purchased these to replace my JBL 4315's, which are true oldschool studio monitor quality 4-way floor speakers. I wanted to downsize and liked the reviews, so I figured I'd give them a try for $180. I give them 5 stars only for the price compared to the quality, there are much better sounding speakers out there, but not for the price!!!!
I must say, they aren't what I expected from the reviews, but they do sound good, especially for the price. First off, these are really lacking on the high end, at least compared to my JBL's, there is no comparison!!! I know a lot of reviews rave about the quality of the vocals and instruments, well, they are half right. The quality is there, but it is relative to the price, these are high quality for the price, but compared to true audiophile speakers, they are highly lacking in the high end. Having said that, the midrange does sound excellent and I do prefer these for watching movies as the sound seems louder at lower volumes. I don't have the luxury of really cranking the volume as I'm in a condo, so these are actually better for all around music and movie listening for my purposes. That is the reason I'm keeping them and if you didn't have audiophile speakers to directly compare these with, you would think these sound amazing!!!!
Overall, I would highly recommend these. Just to give you an idea of what I compared these to, the JBL 4315's are over 30 years old and are highly desired with audiophiles, they easily fetch over $1000 even though they are over 30 years old!!!! Like I said, a very unfair comparison, but these Klipsch did sound good, even compared to the high end JBL's. The JBL's reproduce many more high end notes that you don't hear with the Klipsch, but again, how much do you want to spend? If you want the best, you will have to spend thousands of dollars. These are probably the best in this price range and maybe even for hundreds of dollars more, if you don't need audiophile quality, these should be more than satisfying.
I just have one thing to add, I don't care to comment on the bass output of these speakers, that is not related to this type of speaker, they are bookshelf speakers and you can't expect any bass from 6.5" woofers. Any reviewers mentioning bass response are uneducated on what these speakers are capable of. You obviously need a separate sub for these as with ALL bookshelf speakers, don't listen to the reviews about bass output, these are not made for low end, they are mid and highs. Again, my opinion, mid=excellent, high=good, maybe great for value, but there are much better speakers if you want to pay a lot more...
