About it
The Klipsch THX-5000 is a six-piece surround sound home theater system finished in black, designed for cinema-grade audio reproduction and music listening. The system comprises three THX-5000-LCR dual 5.25-inch two-way loudspeakers for left, center, and right channels, a pair of THX-5000-SUR surround speakers, a THX-1200-SW 12-inch subwoofer, and a KA-1000-THX subwoofer amplifier. Grille covers and a five-year warranty are included. Each LCR speaker is built around a large rectangular 90-degree by 60-degree Tractrix Horn that drives a 1-inch titanium-dome compression driver tweeter, a design drawn from Klipsch's work supplying cinema sound systems. The horn geometry optimizes the tweeter's radiation pattern to meet THX Ultra2 directivity specifications, producing a precise soundstage free of the lobing and comb filtering that conventional multiple-tweeter arrays can introduce. The speakers handle 100 watts continuous and 400 watts peak power, with a system frequency response of 80 Hz to 20 kHz at plus or minus 3 dB. The front-ported enclosure of the LCR speakers allows them to be installed flush in custom cabinetry, while back-panel 1/4-inch-20 threaded inserts accept any high-quality wall or ceiling speaker mount rated for 40 pounds or more, giving installers flexible placement options. The LCR units can also serve as surround channels for systems that call for additional high-output speakers. The system uses wired connectivity and delivers surround audio output, making it suited to dedicated home theater rooms, media spaces, and high-performance music setups that demand accurate, high-level reproduction across the full frequency range.
