Klipsch CS-700 DVD Entertainment System

This unobtrusive entertainment system from Klipsch uses digital processing circuitry to simulate the effect of a larger, five-speaker system with only two satellites, a subwoofer and an A/V center.

Each satellite employs dual magnetically shielded 3-inch woofers and a 0.75-inch magnetically shielded tweeter mated to an exclusive Tractrix Horn, a design that delivers genuine lifelike sound as well as producing more output using less energy. Klipsch is the only speaker manufacturer to utilize horn technology in all of its product lines. Klipsch knows horn technology better that any speaker manufacturer and it shows in Klipsch’s extensive and very popular product line. In fact, the same cutting-edge research that drives the development of the company’s leading movie cinema speakers appears in the CS-700.

The subwoofer utilizes an 8-inch down-firing woofer and 200 watts of amplifier power to generate hard-hitting bass response. Due to its compact size and wireless capability, this subwoofer can easily be discretely hidden away while still delivering dramatic low-end effects.

The A/V center features Dolby Virtual Speaker technology along with a progressive scan DVD player, AM/FM tuner and three auxiliary inputs, including High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). The CS-700 also features an HDMI output for passing digital signals to a TV. An easy-to-use universal IR remote control directs all system functions as well as those of the TV and other entertainment devices.

Available in a modern black finish, this system offers a clean design that fits comfortably into any living environment. Essentially plug-and-play, the CS-700 can be operating in as little as 10 minutes. All you have to do is hook the satellites and TV up to the A/V center using the provided color-coded wiring and then plug in the A/V center's power cord. In terms of the system's subwoofer, all you have to do is plug its power cord into the wall as no other connections are needed. A step-by-step setup guide is included to walk you through the process.

The CS-700 will become commercially available in January 2008 with a price tag of $1,299.99. www.klipsch.com
