Klipsch Flexus CORE 100 2.1 Channel Powered by Onkyo Bluetooth Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos and Custom Tuned Bass – Black

Good sound, plenty loud, good dialog.
Heavy, seems well built. The walnut with Grey fabric looks sharp. Sound is very good, plenty of volume. Good bass,dialog is very clear with the enhanced mode. Used fiber optic, came right on. Have not used the Bluetooth yet.At this point I am very pleased.Packing was superb.

Great speaker, worth the money
I have a small TV room about 19’ x 11’ and I used to have to TV volume up higher than I normally would so I could hear voices over the other sounds in the shows. This speaker allows me to hear normal and whispers on the shows along with heavier bass noise without cranking the volume up to 40. Great speaker!

Works like a charm
After unboxing I connected this to my Samsung S95C television and found that I could not use my AV receiver as a pass through and had to disconnect it for the soundbar to work. But once that issue was resolved it connected automatically to the television. I reconnected my devices to my Amazon fire TV cube to eliminate the AV receiver and it was a done deal. The overall sound is better than the stereo speakers I was using for watching television. If you happen to want to use the Klipsch app try the connect plus so you can fine tune your speaker. The connect version didn’t do diddly.

Frustrated – and yes, I feel somehow “cheated.”
NEW INFORMATION: Wait a minute! I read that Klipsch has just lowered the price of the 100s by $70. Not fair, Klipsch! ! How about a rebate for those of poor folk who ordered at the former price? Eh? (I know, I know – I dream big. . .)As to “frustrated?” Well, I’ve been trying to balance out what I’ve referred to as “thin and tinny” sound from my new and “sorry I bought it” 100 soundbar.For many years, as a reporter, I reviewed musicians, their live performances, and more important here, a vast array of music playback systems.Yes,I reviewed the fine Onkyo amplifiers/receivers. And yes, I reviewed several models of Klipsch speakers – as I remember labeling them “excellent, but a bit crisp for my liking. Well, that “crispness” sure did migrate to the 100 soundbar!But to the present. . . After days/nights of tweaking, I finally got the soundbar to where pianos actually sounded more like “pianos.” And although the movie dialogue still suffers from some degree of distortion, even that’s a bit better. New settings? coming up.First – I have a nice, tight, 10-inch woofer. Increased the volume just a tad, but more important, raised the crossover from my usual 80 to about 105 db. Took some of the “mud” off the soundbar.Then, using the Klipsch app on my cell phone, I left the bass at 0, but hiked the mid-range up 2 points, and the highs DOWN 3 points. Much,much better. Pianos in my beloved classical collection sounded fairly accurate, if still a bit on the “thin” side.Still working – still disappointed – but hopeful. Now – back to my original review. . . . .Klipsch had a pleasant surprise for me. I’d ordered the new Flexus CORE 100 soundbar from Amazon – and when the box came I was immediately impressed. In my many years of online ordering, seldom has a product – especially an electronic one – come as well-packed as the Klipsch soundbar. Very impressive!Well, I wasted little time in connecting it to my 59-inch Samsung “smart” TV set. New HDMI cable to use the recommended “eARC” plugs. The darned soundbar was So Well Made! Again – I was really impressed.Then I set all the recommended points on the TV set – and fired up a movie.The soundbar is pretty simple – you have either “Movie” or “Music” settings on the remote. Obviously, I set it on “movie.”The movie I chose had all the hi-res, hi-tech attributes – and I thought, well, this has gotta be mind-blowing. Wrong. Oh, the movie sounded sorta OK, but where was the surround – the stereo – the full sound? I’d connected a wired subwoofer, as well, so I expected a bigger, well, “bang” for my buck.The sound? A bit thin and almost “tinny,” with muddy lower range, though very clear high frequencies. Not a hint of “surround,” and the “stereo separation” was, uh, ahem, not happening.I first “chatted” then called, then Emailed the very nice folk at Klipsch – and got conflicting suggestions. In the end, it was determined that, while I had all the connections right, I was expecting too much from the Flexus 100. It’s only 28 inches wide, and the one nice chap said to get “anywhere decent” stereo separation I’d have to draw my viewing/listening chair up within at least four feet of the screen. Not – NOT – happening.And oh, yes – the “music” setting? At first, I could not tell the difference, then I realized that in the music setting there seemed to be even less stereo. BIG SIGH.Here comes the bottom line: if you have a small room, and can sit close to your TV, using the 100 will be, while not “great,” at least fairly good. Klipsch, on the other hand, would very much like you to spend even more money on a pair of its surround speakers – which, I’m told, WILL give better stereo, and the highly-touted “Dolby Atmos” spacial sound “thing.”The little 100 can’t be blamed for less than theater-level sound – the front-firing “tweeters” are only about 2 1/4 inches across – and here – SIZE MATTERS.I’ve been an audiophile user/reviewer for more than 60 years – and have given all-positive, even glowing, reviews of both Klipsch and the amplifier manufacturer, Onkyo. I wish I could continue in that vein with the 100 -but it simply needs some help to achieve above-average sound.Still – do I recommend it? Yep. If you have a smallish room, a modest-size TV, and use the Klipsch plus app on your cell phone to “tweak” the sound. (it works – but not very much)I know, I know – why didn’t I buy the more impressive Klipsch 200? Simple: it’s way, way too huge for my room/tv/setup.And finally – why didn’t I return the Klipsch to Amazon? B L U S H – because I stupidly tossed most of the packing material/boxes. Some people never learn. . . . .

Great soundbar. Bass output works with other Klipsch subwoofers well.

Me encanta el sonido pero no tiene ni un año conmigo y muy poco uso y el control remoto ya no funciona.
