Value for movies and easy setup, but music falls flat.

I just got the Klipsch 210 and I love it but can't compare it to any of the currently popular setups
I just got my 210 delivered about 30 minutes ago, this thing is awesome! Im currently watching football and listening to music and playing with all the settings but so far the bass is great and vocals seem good to my old ears. I'll try a movie later to really hear what it's capable of but I have a big smile so far.
I have the S70tr it’s decent but I think the klipsch is better. The wow orchestra just turns on your tv speakers as extra channels, I wouldn’t put it as a dealbreaker if you don’t want to stay in the ecosystem. Since you live in an apartment, the good thing about the klipsch is it’s upgradable, so you can start with the soundbar and get the rears and subs later on.
I bought a Samsung set up. Had it for a year and upgraded to this one. Sounds fantastic. Bass is great, movies sound awesome. Read some reviews, 10/10 for me. Klipsch Flexus Sound System: CORE... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1SKD9CJ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Just replaced my Samsung system and bought this and it is incredible. Read some reviews. https://a.co/d/iV57rc9
I got the Klipsch 210 brand new from Adorama for $430 a few months ago. Absolutely love it
Adorama lowered the price to $400 about 3 weeks after the price I got it for, so I’d imagine you’ll see it pop up again with the upcoming holidays. Plus Adorama is a legit Klipsch dealer for warranty purposes. I doubt Amazon is, but I could be wrong.
Klipsch Flexus 210 combo is $500 on Amazon. Highly recommended. https://a.co/d/0bxbjmPA
The Flexus Core 200 is kind of unique having a dedicated wired sub out. Most bars you're going to need to stay in the same ecosystem to add a sub. Flexus Core 210 Combo for $500 on Amazon or the JBL BAR500MK2 for $550 at Best Buy right now are good setups. Unless you're a major bass head, the included subs are pretty good on these.
No, it went back to Best Buy begrudgingly. I really liked it but the wife did not. Could not find the settings to make it sound how she wanted. If it were up to me, I would have kept the JBL. I tested that one, the Klipsch Flexus Core 210, and a Bravia Theater Bar 6. We are keeping the Sony. I will admit, it does sound the best for clear dialogue. Not the heaviest bass, but it does have a nice punch to it. I thought about trying the Polk model you mentioned but just ended up not doing it. Curious how that would sound.
Got the Core 210 yesterday delivered from Walmart for $499. It's exceptional! Sounds better than most systems twice the price.
I've been where you're at. I tried 4 different systems and have settled on the Klipsch Flexus Core 210 soundbar with subwoofer. It's amazing. It's $499.
I'm seeing Amazon at $776 for bar and sub bundle. I just bought a 210 bundle from Best Buy open box. Good condition (the middle rating) $462. Picking it up on Tuesday when I have a chance to get there.
Yes in NH. I don't even see the 210.on Amazon. Just the 200 +100 bundle. In fact the 200 bar only is $499.
Thanks! Don't know why that doesn't come up on a search for me. I might cancel the best buy open box though I do like having local store returns.
My Klipsch Flexus Core 210 system can be had for $499. It comes with the bar and the subwoofer. I know you said you don't need one, but why the heck not? It sounds amazing!
Klipsch Flexus Core 200 is a great bar. It's fairly large though. But it has something like 9 speakers in it of varying angles and sizes. If you want the sub, the Flexus Core 210 is the 200 bar plus the 100 series sub. I have the 210 set and the sound is amazing.
