For those of you wanting a simpler home theater system that can provide virtually the same performance as a more robust system, you will want to check out the Klipsch CS-500 2.1 home theater system. It's a 2.1 channel system, but don't let that fool you on the abilities of the CS-500. You'll only need couple of satellite speakers, a subwoofer, and a center speaker to provide what amounts to a 5.1 channel system (all included in new packages). Klipsch makes this setup possible by incorporating Dolby's virtual speaker software into the Klipsch CS-500. Virtual speakers do just what it "sounds" like: the software provides more input to less speakers, making those speakers do more work.

So with that setup, you might think the Klipsch CS-500 home theater system would be a major power consumer, but it's not. Just 35 watts of power are transmitted to the satellite speakers, and only 100 watts of power is transmitted to the subwoofer. Dynamic power is only 50 watts.

Klipsch CS-500 2.1 Home Theater System with DVD Player List Price: $999.99

The Klipsch CS-500 home theater system features a DVD/CD player for playing your favorite movies or music. If you want to watch Blu-ray discs, you can connect that device to the CS-500 to one of three auxiliary input connectors. My recommendation there would be to hook the Blu-ray player audio to the Klipsch system, but push the video out straight to your HDTV so that you don't lose any of the 720p or 1080P resolution, but gain the benefits of the Klipsch surround sound available through the Dolby virtual speaker system and the 3/4" tweeters and 6.5" woofer included.

Along with being able to connect up to 3 devices via the digital coax or optical, or line level analog inputs, a built-in AM/FM tuner is available on the Klipsch CS500 home theater.

For a Klipsch, the price you'll pay on the CS-500 home theater system is frankly lower than I would have expected. If you know the Klipsch name, you will understand the superior quality that you can expect from a Klipsch designed device. The sound alone is enough to even think about paying the originally priced $1,000 tag. But at $199, it's very difficult to find a reason not to purchase this Klipsch. Yes, it does not include HDMI ports, which all home theater systems should have today. And yes, it does not include a Blu-ray player instead of the progressive scan DVD. But the CS-500 is still a Klipsch, and the virtually 5.1 channel tuner seems to be a really great bargain!

You should be aware that the first generation models of the Klipsch CS-500 home theater system carried faulty DVD players. Klipsch has since rectified this issue by redesigning the parts that makeup the DVD player, and only the reconfigured CS-500 models are in production today. This is important to our readers, though, since we do have sales available above on the Klipsch CS-500 receiver. If you find yourself about to purchase a used model, be sure to ask the seller when the device was purchased and if it has been sent back for repairs. I believe April or May of 2010 is when the second generation models were first sold, so you should be fine on Klipsch CS-500 DVD players after that time period.
