Buy a pair of those speakers for $325.98 due to Duty and GST. Cheapest I can find on the market at the moments. Digital Cinema is selling at $664 a pair, and denined to bring it any low as online chat, how rude! lol. Kogan price is $249 single + delivery.

====================================================
Worth to mention, Harvey Norman Woodville SA branch has Klipsch 5.1 Home Theatre with receivers for $1299 on CLEARANCE, with 5.0 Quintet V speakers set with R-100SW Subwoofer, Denon AVR-X250BT, in my opinion is a good deal and way better sound than these Jamo S807 5.1(credit to Being Askhole).

Denon Receiver AVR-X250BT $345
Klipsch 5-Speaker Sound System $1188 without Sub Woofer

      is it good? Pioneer speakers are very good price per performance but they are too big compare to soundbar or above Klipsch system. Trust me, when you listen, those smale Klipsch speakers are very lound and impressive, compare to Jamo S 807 system.

    I have a pair of these and they are great for movies as well as music. Will need a sub if you're really keen though. Bought during Kogan special pricing June 2018. Definitely worth the low price.

        Picked up the 2 floor standing, sub and center for $709 delivered.

    Why have you got the Klipsch marked at without Sub? The ad includes a sub doesnt it?

    Anyone have experience with these Klipsch sat speakers. Need to replace the old Yamaha speakers i got with the basic pack i got from HN 3-4 years ago. I want something small for the wife factor but need some decent audio. These Klipsch seem like they would fit the bill.

    • ntt on 09/01/2019 - 14:07

      I think I got you confused. The uploaded photos which showed CLEARANCE 5.1 + Receiver for $1299. I just wanted to show everyone identical products selling on HN website so everyone get an idea how they look like.

      And trust me, those speakers blow you or any "basic" home system any day! Even the Jamo S807 is nothing to compare to lol

      • hazzad on 09/01/2019 - 15:49

        Wow thats a good vote of confidence. What do these Klipsch sets usually rrp at?

      • herbo on 09/01/2019 - 16:24

        Have you listened to the Klipsch and the Jamo side-by-side? Just curious

        • ntt on 09/01/2019 - 19:28

          I did, hence my opinion. Jamo like cheap speakers when next to these Klipsch. If the price around 700-800 I'd jump into without thinking.

  • arnomic on 09/01/2019 - 13:51

    Can these be used on their own without the need for a full 5.1 setup? I have a 10 year old Sony Muteki receiver with a powered sub.

    Also does the quality/thickness of cables determine the quality of sound?

    • teereb on 09/01/2019 - 13:59
      +1

      No reason why you can't run these as stereo off your amp.

      Get the right gauge cable for the speakers / how long the cable is. 16 gauge should be right for them, do a bit of research if you want specific answers, but otherwise that will do you :)

      Edit:
      Bunnings have 30 metres of cable at following prices:
      14 gauge $40
      16 gauge $26
      18 gauge $14

    What am I doing wrong, total comes out to $325.98 (2 x $139 + $47.98 duty/tax). It does initially say $305.80 but when I go to check out the duty/tax jumps from $27.80 to $47.98.

  • Black Hole on 09/01/2019 - 15:58

    Nice price but reading the 3 stars review from Amazon is consistent with poor bass which can improve with a subwoofer, but more worryingly poor sound-stage which makes music boring.

    I was going to buy these a few years ago due to their excellent reviews. Ended up getting second hand Dali Zensors - picked up bookshelves, fronts and center all separately through gumtree etc. Ended up with a fantastic system under $800 but I would have jumped on these in a heartbeat at this price. Good luck if you bought them, hope you enjoy!

            They have closed down, I have their 5.1 set. It is OK for movie, music I can only said OK. I love my infinity 165 with Hi-Res music, it is a lot better than accusound for Hi-Res music.

              while i never have other speakers, i think accusound 5.1 is OK as you said. I cannot compare with other speakers as i never own others.

                Speaker is a bit hard, you have to listen to it to feel it, also depends on how much you want to spend?

                I mostly use it for Hi-Res Music so my Infinity bookshelf is very good for me.

                  If I can spend on 5.1 less than 1000 then it's ideal.
                  do you have any suggestions?

                    • OzFrugie on 11/01/2019 - 14:36

                      @superforever: nothing wrong but i find that the mid speaker bit weak. dialogue can be bit hard to hear, but if i make it louder then when the action scenes come up, it's too loud.
                      this is although i have made the centre speaker 3dB louder than the rest during calibration.

                      i know i may only need to change the centre speaker but if i can sell the whole lot and upgrade to a better one which is worth upgrading to, then i'd consider it.

                      My AV is also a budget one.. Pioneer VSX-524 .. got it on discount back in 2014 jb hifi deal, i think i knew it from ozB also lol

                        You will have to spend more if you really want upgrade otherwise just keep it.

                        Like KEF speaker? My infinity speaker even it is only bookshelf but still a lot better than my accusound 5.1 floor stand.

                            I don't play with surround a lot. The only 5.1 I owned is accusound.

                            I did listen to my friend KEF 5.1 floorstand before it is so much better but they are talking about several thousand dollar just for the front pair. I also heard that ELAC is good but I am not sure.

                            But if you up to that level you will have to get a very good av receiver and than you will need Hi-Res music player, etc. which I don't think I will spend that much of money.

                            This Pioneer seems quite good a lot of people recommended but I have never listen to it before and my personal prefer I won't go for Japanese speaker.

                            If you don't want to pay a lot Infinity is always my favours with that price range it can compare with a lot higher price brand name. You better find somewhere to try it but not many place have display units. I am in Sydney the only place I can try it out is at JB HiFi Hills Super Centre they still have the bookshelf listed for like $600-$700 but I bought it for $2xx.

    So i bought the Jamo kit last wk that was mentinoed above https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/427440 .. but not picked up yet.
    The HN that has it waiting for me, also has the Klipsch 5.1 kit linked at top by OP https://www.harveynorman.com.au/klipsch-5-speaker-sound-syst… ("without subwoofer" - i'm still confused by that comment ;)

    Anyway, so I'm going to go there on Satday and try to listen to both - see if it changes my opinion of the Jamo purchase.

    Now this Andrew Jones Pioneers set comes up… so it's added to the mix (i realise they are not 5.1 comparable, as is)

    Anyone have any guidance to help a final decision? Too many options, and I'm nowhere near up to speed on all the features and technicals.

    • Black Hole on 10/01/2019 - 08:42

      At that price range and for watching movies mainly, I think they are all very similar. I felt you are creating unnecessary stress in your decision making. Stay with the Jamo. In general, the smaller the speakers the smaller the sound. You cannot cheat physic.

      • swampson on 10/01/2019 - 09:07

              @Black Hole: mate, I'm not here to argue with you, just trying to be helpful. As I said many many times, it won't cost anyone here anything for just go to a store and try, don't read spec on paper or judge by the look and try to work out like a math nerd. And I am sorry if I hurted some Jamo fans or owners feeling, because I got many negs whenever mention Jamo on post.

    • ntt on 10/01/2019 - 08:42

      Let me sum up what I know.
      Jamo is smaller than pioneer set and look nicer, but sound very mediocre to me
      Klipsch I mentioned is quintet 5 with s100sw sub and Denon receiver on store clearance, you can ask to price match, good luck. You should listen both before you go.
      Your link is very confused, it says 5 speakers but shows 5.1 also in description. Harvey at it's best again. Accc triggers lol. Anyway that look like this http://www.klipsch.com.au/products/reference-theater-pack-au

    I have bought 4+ a centre speaker. I already have a subwoofer.
    I will use 2 for the rear and 2 for the front.

        4x Pioneer SP-FS52-LR
        1x Pioneer SP-C22

        Thank OP. I can't resist. Worth to test this out.

          Man, you are really a big fan of big speakers. Are you going to build a house using 4 floor standing speakers or what?

          Anyway, you won't regret how those sound. It can beat a lot of $1500 5 set easily.

    Side note RE: Klipsch 5-Speaker Sound System for $1188 at HN.

    There seems to be confusion on whether the Klipsch set includes a subwoofer.
    Based on the images and description, there seems to be a subwoofer included:

    With a built-in all-digital subwoofer amplifier, this 5-speaker sound system provides optimum power efficiently with precise sound reproduction.

    If anyone has purchased this set would like to confirm. I think all the speakers are routed to the amplifier in the sub-woofer.

    EDIT:

    The version HN are selling are actually this model:
    http://www.klipsch.com.au/products/reference-theater-pack-au (REFERENCE Theater 5.1 Pack)

    Which may have superceded the Quintet 5.1 Speaker pack:
    eg. https://www.videopro.com.au/p-11298-klipsch-quintet-51ch-spe…

    One giveaway is the driver colour. Black vs bronze

    I think all the speakers are routed to the amplifier in the sub-woofer.

    This is not true based on the manual I just saw. This set requires a receiver.
