Back speakers don't seem to synch as easily as I wouldve expected. I'm hiring a guy though to come out and re-pair everything with our main components.

An excellent addition to my other Klipsch Reference Series Speakers. Movies in Dolby Atmos come alive. Music in Spatial Audio fills the room like a concert hall. An excellent value, specially when on sale.

I have wanted to add more Klipsch speakers to my setup and these versatile atmos speakers do the trick. I can use them for overhead immersive audio or hang them and have additional surrounds. They do take some tweaking I would suggest Audessy program.

Many other reviews mentioned gaming, music, and film; all of which I can attest to. I played 24-bit FLAC files and the sound is breathtaking. Of course, 320cbr sound great, too, but the punch and depth from those more robust files is seriously taken advantage of with a setup like this. The only thing audio-wise that I didn't get a chance to try out was my turntable setup. But I have no doubts it will be amazing once I get the chance to move everything into place.
When it comes to film, the most recent 4K Dolby Atmos/Vision releases I have sounded superb. My other sound setup is a DT Studio Slim and I absolutely love it, especially as it is such a small/easy to hide system. The Studio Slim has performed amazingly well and is something I have been more than happy with, but this receiver in conjunction with these speakers? OMG, night and day.
I can't recommend these speakers enough, brilliant combination and beyond worth the investment!

I had high expectations for these Klipsch Atmos speakers, especially at their $600 (+tax) price point. While they are well-built and deliver good performance, I ultimately found them underwhelming for the cost.
I tested them in a 5.2.2 setup by placing them atop my Klipsch Reference Premiere 8000f II floor-standing speakers, using them as upfiring Atmos speakers. I ran various Dolby Atmos soundtracks through Netflix and physical media (Blu-ray) to evaluate their impact. I also mounted them as front height speakers, angling them down toward the listening position.
The verdict? They work. They sound good. But they’re nothing special. There’s no real wow factor, which got me wondering how they’d stack up against much cheaper Klipsch bookshelf speakers I had on hand.
To compare, I tested them side by side with my Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speakers ($200/pair) and found no noticeable difference in sound quality. The only real advantage the Atmos speakers have is their angled/upfiring design, which allows for placement flexibility. Even when I swapped in my Klipsch R-14M speakers ($125/pair), I struggled to hear any meaningful difference.
So, do these Atmos speakers function as advertised? Yes. Do they sound bad? Not at all. But considering their price, they simply don’t offer enough of an upgrade over significantly cheaper options. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly alternative, a well-placed set of Klipsch bookshelf speakers might be just as effective—at less than half the cost.
