The Reference series of Klipsch speakers are their higher end and have quite a fan base. Check out the forums at http://forums.klipsch.com
They cost a good bit, however.
On the other hand, the Synergy series is the cheaper line, and they are still pretty good, but they aren't Reference, either.
There is a new line of Reference satellites that are small and look really nice. The Synergy series contributes (besides buying individual components) with the Quintet Microsystem (basically, a Promedia 5.1 upgraded in size and such) and the System 6, which people recommend over the Quintet, especially since it has higher musical abilities.
Hope that helps.
Quintet isn't just an upgrade for Promedia series but I believe it's just backward(making Quintet's lite version into promedia).Quote:

Btw I got the PM 5.1 with my Quintet's on(poor enough I've no space for amp and reciever that this'd be the solution atm) and they are the front surround speakers. When I turned off my desktop for doing some hardware changes, I usually turn on my lappy and play mp3 with the front speakers(Quintet). The quality was just amazing even with my lappy(just on board chip). When I turn on my desktop back on with Revo 7.1 it's just a home theater :)
If the reference series is somehow overprice or unable to afford, Quintet would be on the way
If you are interested in the Quintet, please be careful!
The Satellites/center and the subwoofer are not always sold together. The sats/center go around $300ish new, and a lot cheaper on ebay. The subwoofer is MSRP'ed at $399 but I don't know how much it goes for.
I do know that some people on this forum have recommended to me a better sub than the KSW-10 that Klipsch notes. The Klipsch RW-8 and RW-10 (lower end reference line) are among the ones that are interesting.
EDIT: As for reference series costs...IIRC a pair of bookshelf speakers that I was looking at went for $700, just to begin with.
