Great video as usual but The keyword in the video- flexibility. For the streaming lovers and speaker wire haters 😂
Unfortunately, I am a passive fan, I equate them to soundbars or primary lifestyle options as opposed to hi fi.
HDMI is something they really need to work on, seen and heard many issues with connectivity and reliability in powered speakers. but for a pair of Fives in Australia which retail past $1100, you can buy a decent AVR and a pair of great passive speakers across the range that hit high volumes well.
Also… have to say it:
A pair of Sonos speakers.
😂

Hugely valuable and original bit of content . Kudos!
Fabulously cut vid, Andrew. Yours and Kristi's commitment to refinement is paying off, it's noticed, it's impressive. Super taught and well executed vid.
Thanks so much!
I've been catching up with previous posted videos. You guys consistently put out great content!
Lovely video! I would love to see a round two where you get into the next price tier with existing offerings from Kef, Q Acoustics, Bouchart, Dynaudio represented.
Been testing the SVS speakers and am amazed by the sound: transparent, dynamic, balanced and detailed. You can feel the hits on the snare, the fingers on the frets, detailed bass, and they have a real punch when the music wants to punch. I keep turning them up waiting for them to break up and distort, but nyet -comrade, nyet. So impressed.
In person they are a gravitationally dense box with a tidy bevelled front, and a flawless finish. At worst they are inoffensive. Not sure on the strong reaction, but I hope it doesn't dissuade people from trying them out - beauty is as beauty does.
Hey Andrew! Love your videos, do you have any experience with the Q Acoustics M20?
Hi Andrew, great video. I really enjoy KRK Rokit 6 for some years. Do you have experience with the brand/speaker, and do you like them?
Heyyyy! Close to 300k subs! Well done you two! What a great community you’ve created! Congrats!!!
Thanks so much!!
I've owned the Fives for over a year now, and my grills still look great. I do agree that you need to tone down the bass on the Fives for a more natural sound.
But the App now working (it didn't at the time of our initial review) makes the Fives SOOOO much easier to live with!
@@robinsonbrand After installing the app, the subwoofer output of the Fives seemed to be greatly increased, so I had to readjust all my bass settings again.
I have had mine for 6 months with no issues from the grilles either.
I’ve had mine for about a year also, and I also say the grills are fine. Maybe Andrew and Kristi had an early review unit that had the issue that was later resolved with mass shipments? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wonder the same thing. I’ve had mine for 16 months and they still look great. I use them in my office at work and they’re great for that, especially at the price I paid. I tend to prefer a more neutral sound so I might really like the new SVS speakers, but adjusted The Fives are pretty good. And their flexibility and value are fantastic.
@Andrew Robinson which would you pick? The Elac Debut ConneX or Kanto Yu4? Or if anyone else is reading this, what would be your pick and why?
I get the biggest kick out of the contrast between these two. Andrew choses his words so cautiously and speaks with a grace comparable to a fine ballet dancer.
Krissy (SP) has all the grace of a long haul truck driver who won't waste anyones time with unnecessary words, or PC.
Nice balance guys.
Excellent video as always thank you
Hi Andrew, in your opinion, how do these compare with a pair of Tannoy Gold 7? Are you still using those (the Gold 5s) as your desktop speakers?
Any way we can get a review of the Edifier S3000 Pro or comparison to this group?
Hey Andrew, just watched a couple hours worth of your reviews and all top notch quality. I have a question, I currently have B&W 606 S2 (which you were not a fan of) and a set of Kanto Yu5 powered speakers. Using a Denon 600NE for the 606 S2. I was wondering if the Kanto Tuk powered speakers would be worth getting as I am looking for a new speaker but don't want to spend a whole bunch. I don't see the Tuk in this list of Top 5 but was wondering your thoughts on the Tuk based on what I have, would it be an upgrade or a side grade? I would use them for Vinyl, and Movies.
Thanks for your help :)
After doing some research I ended up with the Kanto YU-6's for our small living room. So far so good! Build quality and look is excellent (matte white), sound is good, features/connectivity is fantastic (can add a sub when the time is right), and my partner likes that we got rid of the giant receiver... All in all a good side-grade!!
I’m surprised that the Kanto YU6 was not in this lineup. I bought mine partly based on a recommendation from you and I absolutely love them. Excellent build quality, sound, and looks. The subwoofer is also great. Love them for movies as well as music
They were discussed and Kristi heavily vouched for them. Same as you I purchased them off Andrews previous review and I’m still loving them. The energy their sound brings is just so fun!
A sub and a fixed app, really helped the Fives. I've had them for over two years now and I love them.
Hi Guys. Great review. Wondering how would the Q Acoustics M20 compare against this lineup?
We have not heard the M20s.
Very happy to see this review 👍🏼 only wish Swan was included. Thx guys ✊🏽
Are you guys able to do a video similar to this one but for home theater bookshelf monitors? Over my soundbar and looking to get into the game but have no clue where to start. Thanks!!! Keep up the awesome videos!
Cool roundup guys! Personally speaking, I’ve had The Fives for a year or so and my grills look the same way they did on day 1.
As you say, maybe yours were an earlier design?
I will say it’s nice to see hdmi becoming the norm in the powered speaker market
Great video as always. I own the Fives and read on the Klipsch owners forum that the speaker grill fabric is thermoplastic that shrinks when heated (you can make the fabric taut again by applying gentle heat with a blow dryer). I keep the grills off so hasn't been an issue for me.
I’ve had my fives for awhile now and I’ve really loved them for my office/spare room. Paired with my LG C1 in there and a sub it was life changing at the time lol (was my first oled). Idk if the grills on the black ones (which I got for like 475🎉) are different but they’ve been fine so far for me over about a year or so. And now that the app is here for them it’s been like hearing them for the first time again!
Listening on an old pair of Mission 760i, so nice to see that Mission are still delivering quality.
When reviewing these five powered speakers, did any of them have a low level Hess when powered on?
great review and recommendations... wish you would have had a chance to check the Q acoustics M20 ...and wonder how well they would have done....especially 'sound quality'...
Are all the speakers with HDMI input arc(cec) compatible with volume and power control? I read that it's a pain to manually switch these on and off and can lead to longevity issues if not
Nice job! I really enjoyed watching this one. I did not know that the Klipsch app was finally working. I bought a pair of the Fives after your original review. I have done 3 things to them which, for me, vastly improved them IMO. First I added a decent Klipsch sub. I don’t remember the model number but I got it on sale for $5-600. Then I put foam plugs in the ports. I did this because I wanted more flexibility in the positioning. I personally think they sound better regardless but maybe I have just gotten used to the sound. The 3rd thing is that I used a heat gun or hair dryer on the grilles about a year or so ago. They have stayed tight. Having covered a fabric airplane earlier in my life the normal procedure there is to apply the fabric and then use heat to shrink it. I also worked in a cotton mill when I was a student. I ran a giant oven that took huge rolls of dyed cloth and ran it through a water/chemical bath and then through a 400 degree oven for about 125 feet. This is how they make “preshrunk” fabric. I misted the grille cloth lightly with water and then used either my heat gun or a hair dryer (I don’t remember which) on them until they were tight and dry. This took less than 5 minutes in total. I used a spray bottle with super fine mist. I doubt the water is even necessary. Anyway for me the Fives have been great. I saw them a couple of days ago at Costco for $449 in black. I almost bought them for my son.
The review I didn’t know I needed.
Have you guys had a chance to listen Triangle Audio A01? If yes, what are your thoughts? Thanks
What do you think about edifier speaker?
had the opportuntiy to listen to the fives and personally i was surprised by the output and bass for their size. would love to see you guys review the 7's and the new 9's
Love, love, love my Fives. It's just fun to hear that much sound coming from such small cabinets / boxes. ;-) For a little powered speaker, they do everything I need for my office and turntable. I very rarely ever think, "man... I should hook up a sub to these". Just super happy with how they sound and all the options for connections they offer. I like the way that the Missions look and I'd love to give them a listen sometime, but overall, I'm extremely happy with The Fives. Always fun to hear your opinions on stuff like this. Thanks for all you both do!
Thanks for the review, I just got done watching the SVS live stream where they announced their offering. I was excited to see what you guys thought of them.
Thanks for watching!!!
Which has the better or decent phono stage?! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the review. Though I have a hard time figuring out if it'll be worth it to upgrade to those after using the Edifier R1280DB as desktop speakers though. I do like the Mission speakers since it has the mini console.
Glad the YU6 got an honourable mention ...as picked up a set two weeks ago.. Setting up a home office currently with a vinyl focussed bookshelf system. Sounds good .....but looking to add a sub for added punch
How does these KEF powered speakers compared to an amp+passive such as B&W 607 S2? at the same price range? (1500 USD)
Hi Andrew, speaking of powered speakers did you ever review the Dynaudio Focus 110a? I got them as demos a few years ago and I use them in a second system based on my pc.
What about the Edifier S3000pro?
Should I expect any of these to go on further sale for Black Friday? Thinking the 5s.
Hey guys, the Devialet Mania, the first portable speaker from Devialet, has been launched. Can you get your hands on it by any chance?
Thanks for the video! Excellent shootout.
Have you heard Mission's upgraded budget passive speakers (LX, QX lines)? Can you review them?
Curious how they compare to their rivals in that price category.
What bout Q Acoustics M20?
Hello you two! Thank you for your good work! Where would you place the Tannoy Gold 5 in this ranking? Are they still your desktop favourites? I'm thinking about buying them for that very purpose. Thanks for your help!
We still think they are really good but they are dumb powered speakers (less versatile) and practically impossible to find anymore which makes it difficult to continue to take them seriously.
They're readily available at Sweetwater
The fives , subwoofer out feature.
Hdmi with cec and arc, and phono in.
Great product for the money.
Seems more flexible and better option than most soundbars.
Thanks your channel.
I was pleased and well informed with the Tannoy gold 5, I bought the 8s, simple and lovely, thanks again for the review!!
The Tannoy Golds are great speakers just not as universal as some others mentioned.
I like this format and would like a kef vs q acoustic powered shoot out.
I also tried the KEF LSX2 in my 15' x 12' office space and decided they weren't for me for the same reasons you mentioned. Having previously used Kanto YU4 in a desktop setup I decided to try the Kanto TUK. Mine are connected to a Kanto SUB8 and I enjoy them very much. For context, the source is a MacBook via an iFi Audio Zen DAC. For me it's an excellent combination. Another significant factor is that in my opinion both Kanto and iFi Audio deliver exceptionally good customer support and service.
I've had the Fives as my home office speakers for about 6 months and I LOVE them. I road-tested a few others (none of the others in your review though) and the Fives came out winners by a mile.
I'd like to see a video on Genelec and Neumann studio monitors. Yes, they are marketed for studios, but they can equally be used for HIFI.
I use Emotiva Stealth 6s (active powered) for our living room system (along with dual 10" sealed box subs). In my office I've got Emotiva Airmotiv 5s. Love both systems.
Do you think the Missions would be a great option for vinyl also? Looking to get my first speakers and see them on sale for $770
whats your thoughts on the fives vs the sixes?
Can you check out the new Triangle borea Bluetooth speakers? Would be good to see how they compare to these ones. Their passive ones got really good reviews.
Hello, Andrew.
I was in the market for wireless stereo speaker for open conecpt living room. Main streaming source was TV blutooth and Sonos did not work nor edifier. DIY ing speaker using galaxy budz was a option but too much work.
From this review, I have discovered LX Connect and scored new one at 900CAD. I don't know how hifi speaker pricing works or overpriced but good deal. 2000cad vs 900cad
Thank you.
So here is the question, the middle piece LX Connect hub has one RCA output additional for a speaker or external source. If I were to add Subwoofer, what do you recommend? same brand mission sub-200? or different brand sub? What other speaker would you add to the hub if other than sub speaker.
Your video is information overload and clean. usually people talk forever in the video and lose quality of the video but you are exceptional.
Thank you.
Andrew or Kristi, I believe at one time you had a pair of the Kanto Yu2's connected to an iMac early on in this channel's history. In your opinion (or to the best of your recollection) would you be able to compare the Yu6's albeit with a bigger sound in comparison to the Yu2's? I have the Yu2's hooked up to my work Mac and really love the sound, but am looking for an upgrade on my gaming PC.
Fives are working great for my desktop setup. The app took ages to arive in a usable form. It was fun to install, something like from fantastic mister fox playing cricket complexity levels. When adjusted via app fives are actual pretty good.
Updating the speakers to use the new App was admittedly stupid, yes. But I agree, now that they have an App that works, they may be even better!
Hi Andrew !! What about the PSB AM5 ?
Great video as always. My pick is the PSB AM3 I picked up a pair at 25%off. Here in Canada they retail for $699. I use them on my desktop and they sound great. They have a remote, Bluetooth, usb and aux input, tone controls, phono preamp and a sub. I’m a larger space they will need a sub. The AM5 is there bigger brother for $999 CAD.
Great niche to review and relevant. I too, would go with the Mission speakers for sure but on sale.
Great rundown as always! My pick is Kef LS50 wireless 2!
It's a little crazy that it isn't in contention since I think the original LS50w was one of the original champions for the segment and the new model markedly improved the sound, usability and connectivity.
I was wondering how these compare to Vanatoo Transparent ONE Encore
Is SVS w pro overkill for bedrooms?
Thanks for review
Nice comps. I have a set up of powered Mackie MR624 connected with Bluesound Node. Great powerful sound for medium and large size rooms (in plain black only), and can add subs for upgrade. This was by far better then the Fives in the medium/large room.
I have the Mackie MR824's for my desk and they sound incredible off of the Shiit Audio DAC and Loki, I have The Fives on a TV and they sound great as well.
Been leaning towards the mission connect for a while that sell price I think I'll jump on them thanks
Have you ever done Edifier S3000 pro? I have a pair of those and I feel like I somehow cheated at life.
Thanks! I finally watched it as my use of powered is limited to REL Predators lol.
Andrew, please review the Mission LX6 Mark2 floorstanders...
Recently got the SVS Prime Pros with a 300 Micro sub and the combo is stunning. That little sub is shockingly good, and when blended properly to where it seems like everything is coming from the speakers… my goodness, it is a wonderful sound reproduction.
I was initially interested in the Klipsch’s because of the automatic high pass filter to the main speakers when a sub is connected, so they can open up the mids more without having to fight for the low end. SVS includes that feature as well, and their app for managing every aspect of the sub is extremely convenient, so they knocked it out of the park for what I wanted. Not to mention the HDMI eArc! Perfect for a soundbar use case.
Also, the 6 preset buttons on the front and the remote are a hilariously innovative feature. You can match them to any Spotify playlist, or a podcast, etc.. just like an old school radio, how cool is that?!
Agreed, wish they came in a wood finish, but I went with the white for now and am enjoying that look. And I also grabbed the wireless adapter they sell for the sub, that made placement a breeze like I’ve never experienced. Thanks for another fun video from you two! Keep it going.
Do these control easily with arc-cec and TV remote(power and volume)? Looking for a seamless soundbar replacement. Do voice and action sounds mix well.... Or do you constantly need to increase and decrease volume depending on scenes?
I'm looking for a pair of desk speakers that can be used for audio mixing, music listening and also watching movies. These Mission speakers look amazing! Do they have any preset EQ modes within the DAC hub? Flat, music, movie etc? If so, this would be a game changer for me and exactly what I'm looking for. I better get saving, they're £750 here in the UK.
Kali mm-6?
Just stopped by to drop a liked. I'm good with my JBL Professional 305P MkII's. Price to performance is unmatched. BYOD and that's fine with me
That was a super fun review! For desktop use, I would go with the Ethos all the way. So gorgeous! I was half-expecting Terry Ellis of Pursuit Perfect System to pop-in when I heard the chapter transition sound bite 😊
Andrew, have you ever experienced the Paradigm Reference Active/20 v.2 and Active/40 v.2? Yes, from around 2001.
I still have several pair and have never found any powered speakers better.
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was really helpful I just wish you could have compared the q acoustics m20. It's still a really helpful video anyways and a pleasure to watch thank you.
Thank you for this review. I was just about to pull the trigger on a pair of the svs prime wireless pro. I still may buy them since they have a 45 day trial. I already have the fives. interesting, I did buy the Mclaren version, but felt there wasn't a difference that would justify $500 to $1000.
i may have simply skipped over it but my only feedback would be that it would have been nice to know a bit more about that display on the SVSs. i can just open a new tab and go to the manufacturer's website, but still, it looked like a distinguishing feature worth mentioning.
What about Q Acoustics M20?
I’m really sold on the klipsch BUT what if I was willing to add a sub would that benefit them nearly as much as say the missions? Ultimately between them with a sun what’s your thoughts?
I am wondering the same thing, especially seeing that I can get the Missions for a bit cheaper than the fives.
Out of topic: atmos virtualized(Good AVR)is it comparable to ambeo atmos? I have a sloped ceiling. I don’t think up firing Atmos speaker would be any good and in ceiling speakers it’s not an option.
I own the MISSION and they are amazing! Buy them and never look back.
I totally agree with you Andrew with the Klipsch grills. I bought a pair and they looked like the skin of an octogenarian, saggy and wrinkled. I probably got a B-stock pair from Costco because the sound was just as nice as the grills. I am so glad Costco let me return them. I currently have two home theatre systems set up in my home with Klipsch speakers and love their sound, but obviously I got a bad sounding pair of 5's with crappy grills. This experience does not diminish my enthusiasm for the Klipsch(s) that I have, but leads me to suspect the quality control of the 5's.
Sweet video. For my particularly odd use case though I would like a little more info. I would like to have some speakers for my gaming computer(complete with flashing lights). It needs to be able also have a decent dac/amp for headphones too. Looks wise wood veneer doesn't really go. I thought of getting an amp like the emotiva with both and some passive speakers, but after seeing this I am now considering maybe going this route instead.
Please best powered speaker aoverall for medium room ( including sound, price and connectivity) ( with good medium for tv and great sound for music ). To use with a Rel Tzero.
Sorry I missed the premier. Great video though, except no Kantos models?????
Do you guys still have the Tannoy Gold? And how do they compare? (I know connectivity is limited but so is U-Turn's)
We do. To be honest, I forgot all about them. I still think they are really good but they are dumb powered speakers and practically impossible to find anymore which makes it difficult to continue to take them seriously.
Eagerly Waiting for Beosound Theatre soundbar review 🐱
I just ordered Mission LX Connect System after watching you video !!!
You guys said its scalable. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by that.
Also I was wondering if I can add more wireless speakers to connect HUB. not for a surround effect. Wont it be cool if stereo sound is coming from behind also. Is it a dumb ides?
Can you tell me if the speakers are HDMI CEC compatible with power and volume controlled all in one with tv remote?
@@IThinkNowListenUp no idea...i just used with USB to PC and phone bluetooth
I'm really digging the look of Missions. The darker "wood" reminds me of my dad's first A/V rack, whose paper did eventually start to peel off the MDF, aided in part by my tiny toddler hands. Not sure which one I would choose though. The SVS is probably the most practical choice, because with a surround receiver with preamp outs they could be used in conjection with their many passive brethren, giving you something of an upgrade path.
Hi Andrew I really enjoyed your TH-cam channel I'm an hi quality audio fan... And my klipsch Stadium just died recently..... And I was thinking on the five but I need to know if there are difference in quality on the McLaren edition.... Thank you very much if you have the answer ..please let me know. Thanks.and if you're able to test the speakers yourself please let me know I got a few friends of mine with regular Fives.... but non with the McLaren... Thanks for your channel it's very informative
At 06:19 he does mention that it's just cosmetic. No audible difference.
Spot on. Considering powered speakers/bar for secondary TV in great room with lots of open volume. You covered the likely speaker candidates and included the KEF LSX comments at the end. Leaning toward the SVS but need to investigate the DTS Play-Fi implementation a bit more.
The Darko review of the SVS doesn’t speak too highly of the play-fi…
Would there be a way to hook up the Mission LX speakers and hub to an A/V receiver to be used as rear surround speakers to eliminate the need for cable runs? Trying to avoid making a mess or having cables running along the baseboards and under the carpet, etc...
No, I don't believe that would work.
I’ve had the black Fives for over a year a year and the grills are perfect. The weave is different from the wood grain version. I love them for tv but honestly, not for some music. Jazz and melodic like Asgeir they’re fantastic. I don’t use a sub with them and have no idea how they put out so much clean bass.
No Triangke AIO twins?
The Audioengine A5s are excellent, quite a bit of detail. They are $400.
