    Love my new speakers

    I’ve waited a week to watch tv and listen to music before typing this review. I purchased the Klipsch R-800F, R-40SA, and R-50M from Best Buy. These speakers are absolutely amazing. I already had a nice sub, and was going to get a second one, but i dont need it (this is coming from someone who had two 12s and two 10s in my trunk back in high school/college). No matter where i sit, if i turn it up and play a song with bass, my entire body vibrates. I got them on sale and I’m more impressed than i thought I would be.

Questions & Answers
  • Power is Marantz SR 8012 receiver. I also have 2 pair of the Chorus 2 speakers in the front with 2 RS 115SW subs and quartets for the rear. So my question is would it be best to hook a set of these directly to the Chorus 2 and the quartets? Steve

    You will want to connect the R-40SA II into your receiver's HEIGHT or ATMOS channels. We do not recommend connecting these speakers into your Chorus' terminal connectors.
