Simple like a soundbar but much better sound
These Klipsch speakers are fantastic. I have owned nothing but soundbars over the last 10 years and was generally very happy with them. Each soundbar sounded better than the last until I finally bought the ultimate soundbar, the Nakamichi Shockwafe 9.2.4 with dual 10 inch subs also sold at Best Buy. I’ve been very happy with this soundbars power but ultimately the soundbar itself is the weak link. I’ve been able to get it to distort at volumes that while high were still not quite high enough for my own enjoyment but I do like my movies very loud to the point that I want to replicate the impact I had at the theater. I also have a 120 inch screen and the soundbars 46” width makes it sound like the sound is coming directly from the center of the screen. This is where Klipsch comes in. I always wanted a big system with receiver and separate speakers but I didn’t want cables and mix and matching amplifiers to speakers so when Klipsch announced this system I was very excited. These speakers have their own dedicated amp making them sound as good as they can possibly sound. Sounds now come from each side of my screen giving it a huge soundstage. They also sound fantastic with music. I’m going to order the center channel, sub, rears, and side surrounds for a full 7.1 system. In the meantime these two speakers in stereo sound so good that for the past few days I’ve had them I’ve watched all my movies and listened to all music on them. I haven’t turned on my soundbar with surround speakers and dual subs since.. that’s how good these speakers sound. I do miss that impactful bass for now but the sound is full, rich, and super loud. I played the same scene that makes my soundbar distort a very high volumes and these sounded super clear at much higher volume levels with zero distortion. I recommend buying these speakers with the Klipsch Hub HD also sold from Best Buy for $300 even though it’s been discontinued. No drop in connections and they work flawlessly together. The Hub HD doesn’t pass through 4K though so I have my devices connected to my projector and have the Hub HD connected to the projector via optical at the back of them room since it’s connects to the speakers wirelessly. Otherwise the Axiim link only works for laptops, new lg TVs, or an Xbox. For other devices you would need the Axiim Q UHD and while it does have 4K pass through its $1200 so the Klipsch works perfect for me at 1/4 of the price. They both handle the same amount of speakers at the same sound quality.

Great setup!
Fantastic products! Linked perfectly to my LG C9 OLED. I do have a few questions, however, if they are connected through the LG tv through wisa, is it lossless sound? Or is it lossy sound?

Klipsch Reference 3.1 Set Up
As advertised, simple to set up, great center channel and front speakers. Much better than a soundbar. I just moved so still have to get stands and rears but at least I was up and running in 15 minutes. Sub is in corner behind TV.

Excellent wireless speakers with plenty of power.
We purchased the wireless bookshelf, center channel and subwoofer system along with the Axiim link controller. Overall the sound is excellent in keeping with Klipsch's superior design and workmanship. The subwoofer had to be adjusted to boost output. We are not heavy metal rockers demanding a booming sound that shakes the house. However, in it's out of the box setup the subwoofer lacked much punch. The Axiim link controller provides limited options in controlling the speaker setup and response. We used it to boost the subwoofer's response to an acceptable level. Each of the speakers have an integrated, dedicated amplifier that supplies more than adequate power to each speaker. The internal amplifiers negated the need for an external receiver power source and we are able to drive the speakers with the LG OLED TV. Overall an excellent sound system for those requiring flexibility, some level of portability and performance.
