"In my opinion it's one of the absolute best systems you can buy for the money. At least there's nothing in the same price range I can recommend over this system."


"the Klipsch feels like a much better deal. ... There's a deal I saw on Amazon for the Core 200, + Surr 100's, + 2 Sub 100's for 1k which seems like a steal to me."


"But the Flexus is absolutely amazing for the price. ... I went to my Core 200 + Sub 100 from my Sonos Arc, Sub Mini, & 2 Era 100's. Even tho I went to a cheaper system I felt I actually upgraded."

"Has 2 4" subs built in that can really pack a punch ... the bar alone has as much bass, & maybe more than most of the entry level soundbars with a separate subwoofer. Like I had a Sony HT-Z9F, and my Flexus Core 200 honestly has more & deeper bass."


"& The option of 2 subs will give you ridiculous amounts of bass. I have that bar & 1 Sub 100. I can have it at half volume and have the sub turned down a bit & still hear the picture above my bed rattling."


"The soundstage is impressively wide sounding considering the lack of side firing drivers. ... I've had scenes in movies where it sounds like there's something at the side of my room, beyond the soundbar!"

"The bass can be heard outside of the house beyond the halfway mark. ... I love it."


"And the Sub 100 is definitely no joke either, that thing pounds! Pictures rattling on the wall across the room at <50% volume & Sub at 0."

"The soundstage is impressively wide, I've had times it felt there were speakers beyond the bar (not behind but to the sides, & keep in mind I'm not using Atmos at all, just basic optical port)."


"I also have to say it has an impressive soundstage, I was watching something the other night and it felt like the sound was coming from another whole speaker to the left or right, like literally away from the bar."

"So awesome that it's backwards compatible like that and not just forced to use same model wireless subs and Rears. ... But since I already have a decent wired Polk 10" sub, that'll do just fine until then. ... When it gets here, I'm curious to see if any of my existing wired surrounds may also work with it, in the mean time. ... The fact that other speakers can connect with it, subs & even surrounds! Nice!"


"App connects with no issues or lagging."


"be sure to get the klipsch connect plus app to get more controls by the way. It depends on your room of course, but for my room I like the sub volume (not bass, sub volume adjust in the app) just a nudge higher at +1, bass + 2 for most music, and in movie mode the majority of the time. ... Changing the treble settings and maybe the mids a bit should help get you the crisp sound you’re looking for too since by default it’s a pretty warm signature."

"the dialogue is way too quiet."


"dialogue was way too low, especially when listening to media in Dolby (5.1 or Atmos). ... Setting Dialogue Mode to high barely helped, and it came with the unfortunate side effect of messing with other sounds, like trumpets on an orchestral piece. ... The only way to control this huge discrepancy in dynamic range was to tell my TV to output in PCM, but even then it wasn't enough. ... most of the listening in the living room TV is kids shows/movies on Disney+ (and similar). ... I do think that if my living room was bigger, the big sound would have space to go and would not make the dynamic range sound as extreme as it does."

"I did end up adding the sub though."


"I sense the crossover is a little high to make the bass sound good even without the sub, but I do wish we had more control over that setting."


"I'm a big bass fan, so I'm going to add wired subwoofers beside the rear sofa to feel more bass."

I thought the same with mine, but it actually sits just below the screen and doesn’t interfere with the screen or remote.

I’m pretty happy with my Klipsch Flexus Core 200. I’m not running a sub or rears. And for the cost, hard to beat.

I purchased the Klipsch Flexus Core Soundbar 200, pair of Subwoofers 100, and surround 100. The sound is amazing once you've ever paired to Soundbar 200, which took some time to get, but I'm a big bass fan, so I'm going to add wired subwoofers beside the rear sofa to feel more bass.

I have Samsung q70r (2020) and Klipsch flexus core 200. For me (not expert at all), the sound is acceptable in both Soundbars.

Ignore looks, prioritize audio Quality. Most people recommend here would Samsung Q990D. I personally own an older model from Samsung and a new Klipsch Flexus Core. I like the sound of the Samsung better than the Klipsch. Bose, LG and JBL are recognized brands, but I haven't seen many people recommend them.

Extensive experience: Q70r (2021) + 9200s (surround). Less than 1 week (as of today) Klipsch Flexus core 200 (soundbar only, nsurround, no subwoofer) So far both show crystal-clear dialogues. I've noticed that the wrong settings (not using 5.1 or Dolby Atmos) mix channels resulting in poor audio not only for dialogue, but for other elements of sound. My two cents.

Regarding Klipsch Core 200... - No WiFi nor Ethernet. - Single HDMI port. - No support for DTS. This may o may not be an issue depending on your setup. I own a Core 200 + Surr 100 + 2x Sub 100 system. I can confirm it sounds really good.

I have the Core 200+Surr 100+ 2xSub100. I think it's great. Here's a few things you must know: - WiFi interference may create crackling noises in the Subs. This is solved by using a wired connection or placing your Sub away from your router. - No WiFi nor Ethernet connectivity. - No support for DTS. If none of this is an issue for you, then congratulations, you have a great system that sounds great 👍🏽👍🏽

This is only necessary if you hear some weird noises at specific frequencies. I recommend that you test it first in case you need to buy a cable. In most cases, just relocating the Sub (or the router) will suffice. Edit: my Sub is sitting less than 1/2 meter away from my router. Thus, I had to use a cable. However, the same Sub didn't show any issues when placed 2+ meters away from the router.

Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is the easy choice at that price range. For dialog clarity, get an Appletv4K and turn on the enhanced dialog feature. It works way better than any dialing enhancing feature on a soundbar itself.

Klipsch Flexus Core 200 has been on pretty sweet for me. I opted for a wired RSL Speedwoofer 10E instead of the Klipsch Flexus sub 100… setup is very solid.

dairet2792 • 11 months ago

I thought that I would be able to also, just assumed it had a spot to plug in a wire, never looked. Didn’t realize that there was no plug until the Flexus came in and I was setting it up. I was quite annoyed to say the least bc they were running a hell or a deal at bestbuy with the Flexus 200 and the sub 100 for like $550 I think, so I would have done that. All worked out though bc it led me to the Speedwoofer and it all sounds amazing.

Read some reviews on the Klipsch Core 200. I've owned one for 2 months now. The bass can be heard outside of the house beyond the halfway mark. I love it.

Just bought it a couple of weeks ago. Watched Spider Man: Across the Spider Verse, Dune 2, and Beowulf. Just finished a 1 hour long music session. It's a treat, my dude. Pristine clarity. Pronounced highs. Engulfing bass. Articulate range. Wide presentation. I can't get enough of it. The only downside is, being the audio junkie that I am, hearing how good this thing is, and knowing that there is even higher grade equipment available, I just want more - like, I'm immersed and satisfied, mesmerized and attuned, but now I want to be swallowed whole in a reverberating sphere of tones and rhythms, my mind and bones melded into sonic bliss. The CORE 200 hasn't brought me there quite yet.

I know your post is 2 months old, but just to add... I do have the S2000, and if your goal is to have better sound, then the S2000 will deliver. It's pretty versatile. I did have the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 (referenced in a separate comment here), but it was too much gun for my situation (or at least, that's my theory). Explosions and orchestral soundtracks sounded amazing, but dialogue was way too low, especially when listening to media in Dolby (5.1 or Atmos). Setting Dialogue Mode to high barely helped, and it came with the unfortunate side effect of messing with other sounds, like trumpets on an orchestral piece. The only way to control this huge discrepancy in dynamic range was to tell my TV to output in PCM, but even then it wasn't enough. I guess if you are trying to have a home theater experience all the time, that's fine, but most of the listening in the living room TV is kids shows/movies on Disney+ (and similar). The Klipsch app was also horrendously slow. The Core 200 does aim for a cinematic experience, and in that regard, it excels. It's also great that you can add any self-powered sub you want. And the addition of upward facing speakers does create immersion. I do think that if my living room was bigger, the big sound would have space to go and would not make the dynamic range sound as extreme as it does. Dialogue has not been an issue with the S2000. I have "voice mode" to off, and have no issues hearing dialogue. There are also options in the Bravia Connect App that allow you to compress the range even further in order to make volume differences less dramatic. This is good when watching TV when the kids are asleep or when you just want to watch TV casually. The sound is not as cinematic as with the Klipsch, and you can't connect your any sub you want (as with the Klipsch). You do get immersion despite the lack of upward firing speakers, but the immersion sounds "processed." You also need to set the bass to "Max", though, as I found that anything below "Max" is too anemic. Once it's dialed in, though, explosions and the like will sound very good. I can't imagine how you can be unhappy with this, especially if you get it at a discount.

Klipsch Flexus Core 200. $399 now. Left, right, center with tweeter, two 4” subs, 2 height atmos drivers. In the future you can add any sub (doesn’t have to Klipsch) or add rears, though I would wait for Atmos rears.

What size is your TV? If you can save up some more the $400 Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is great. Two 4” woofers with good bass. Left, right, center with Tweeter for dialogue clarity. It also has two up firing atmos, that if you have low ceilings like me is so fun to use the sound test with b/c you do look up and right/left. It fits well under my 55” but if I had a 65/77” I’d want something with wide left / wide right. To better affect stereo across the screen.

Klipsch Flexus core 200. Has two 4” woofers so great bass without a sub. Love mine. Great for music and TV. I’ve expanded it to a speed woofer and Klipsch 100 rears. Had the sound bars for 6 months and loved it, then I added surround and sub and I can’t believe I was happy before.

The Klipsch 200 or Samsung HW-S60D are your best options in your price range. The Klipsch will run you about $350 (on sale) and the Samsung $280. Klipsch is a 3.1.2 system, Samsung is a 5.0 system. If you need one a little less expensive, I'd go with 1. Sonos Ray 2. Samsung HW-S50B 3. Bose TV Speaker 4. Denon DHT-C210 5. Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus. Those five are $250 and below. BONUS!: Yamaha SR-B30A is another very solid option at the same price as the Samsung S60D
