Posted by uspost Shopping Sunday, March 7th, 2010

Since 1946, proprietary horn-loaded technology has been the driving force behind the Klipsch’s highly acclaimed, stunningly precise sound. Superior quality, horn-loaded speakers are an absolute must for delivering the powerful, detailed soundtracks of today’s demanding blockbusters. Perhaps that’s why 50 percent of all new theaters in North and South America, as well as Korea and Australasia install Klipsch products.

Klipsch’s ongoing experience in the cinema industry is a significant benefit to you because the cutting-edge research that drives the development of the company’s professional theater speakers is also applied to its home theater systems.

The same advanced Tractrix® Horn geometry and compression driver technology that reproduces a more genuine, lifelike sound in theaters is inside the HD Theater 300. Horn designs dramatically increase efficiency, enabling Klipsch speakers to produce more output using less energy. This improves reliability and reduces distortion, so you hear exactly what the artists and directors intended, instead of speaker coloration.

A High-Def Picture Demands High-Def Sound

Sound accounts for half of the home theater experience, whether you’re watching a movie or sporting event—or even playing a video game. If you own an HDTV and don’t have high-definition surround sound to go with it, it’s like having a Ferrari without the engine.

Great for smaller rooms, the HD Theater 300 delivers everything the HD video experience has to offer—crisp dialogue, brilliant music and explosive special effects. In fact, every time you push play, you’ll be swept away by the sheer dynamics of every film, song or video game. Klipsch’s savvy designers applied decades of research and development experience to successfully value engineer this system, while staying true to the company’s audiophile heritage. It will fill your heart with joy without emptying your wallet.

Your TV is only one piece of the home theater puzzle. It’s the audio that drives the action, creates the mood and brings your video content to life. Make your music and movies matter today with a Klipsch HD Theater 300.

Easy, Breezy Set Up

The HD Theater 300 is a six-piece (5.1) system consisting of four compact speakers, a center channel speaker and a subwoofer. The speaker’s curvy cabinets are finished in a high-gloss black with removable black cloth grilles, so they’ll look good next to any flat-panel TV and complement any décor.

The speakers—which can be placed vertically or horizontally—come with adjustable wall brackets that have a 40° range of motion and ¼-20 inserts for stand mounting. The center channel’s cradle base has a 45° range of motion. You get complete positioning flexibility when installing this premium home theater system.

If you opt for shelf placement, be sure to apply the included stick-on rubber pads to the bottoms of the speakers. Otherwise, the speakers might actually move out of position because they produce such powerful sound. With the pads installed, the speakers will stay put.

The HD Theater 300’s versatile subwoofer includes traditional volume, crossover and phase controls, allowing you to customize the level of bass for your room.

Amplifier/Receiver Recommendations

While Klipsch speakers are highly efficient and don’t need a lot of power to drive them, you still need an amplifier/receiver that’s appropriate for your system. After all, one of the most common causes of speaker damage is not having the right electronics support.

A good rule of thumb when searching for the right amplifier for your speakers is to buy at least as much power as your speakers are rated to handle. For example, if a speaker is rated at 75 watts maximum power, then you should buy an amplifier that can deliver at least 75 watts per channel. However, you don’t need to limit yourself. You can buy a 100-watt per channel amplifier for a 75-watt speaker because speaker failure is more likely to be caused by too little power than too much power.
