Klipsch's SB 120 sound stand has natural sound, boxy looks

If you favor performance over convenience and good looks, the natural and musical Klipsch SB 120 pedestal sound bar may well find a place under your living room TV.

The Klipsch SB 120 offers a solidly constructed speaker base that sounds good with music and also offers detailed dialogue. It will decode Dolby Digital soundtracks and comfortably support TVs that weigh up to 100 pounds. It also supports streaming...

The speaker lacks a display and it's almost impossible to know what the volume and bass levels are set to; the internal "subwoofer" doesn't offer much in the way of deep bass; "3D mode" offers no real soundstage improvement; lackluster styling, dinky...

If you favor performance over convenience and good looks, the natural and musical Klipsch SB 120 speaker stand is a decent buy.

Klipsch SB 120 soundbase

The Klipsch SB 120 is an under-the-TV audio solution for those who prioritise high sound performance over features.

Very good natural sound. Good volume levels available. Supports Dolby Digital 5.1. Bluetooth.

No subwoofer output. 3D mode just makes sound peaky.

The Klipsch SB 120 is an under-the-TV audio solution for those who prioritise high audio performance over features.

Emphasizes the vocal range

I purchased the SB120 to replace a full 5.1 highend sound system. We remodeled our family room and it was time to assess alternatives to all the separate speakers and amplifiers. Therefore, the trade-off for me was sound range and quality vs "cluttered...

Pretty good sound, but...

I am a Klipsch fan. This unit sounds pretty good but the lower frequencys are limited and what you get is a boomy upper bass to compensate for the lack of lower bass. Although I enjoyed this unit for TV sound, the boomy bass was a dealbreaker for me...

Attractive Design ; Easy To Assemble

Powerful balanced sound from within a sturdy enclosure

Powerful balanced sound from within a sturdy enclosure. Easy to connect to the TV (in our case) and via bluetooth. Small and thin remote control tends to disappear in the sofa, under those who sit in it, or fall onto the floor in front of it. To the...

great sound

clear base and no distortion even at high volume As with any audio product the first goal should be sound quality and I can say that the SB120 is a winner in that area. The SB120 is a fantastic unit for movies and TV viewing, it's not going to win...

Klipsch SB120 Sound Base Review

t of the box it is not great and needs a few weeks to break in. However after such time has passed this unit really starts to come alive. In my opinion Klipsch products are suited to home theatre use, almost every Klipsch speaker I've ever heard seems...
