So far a few weeks in I’m finding them powerful, with bright clarity, a beautiful soundstage, and excellent bass while using Klipsch’s subwoofer also I’m using only for music and specifically bought to play audiophile 180/200 gram vinyls. I love to hear live performances and demos. These speakers are giving me exactly what I was looking for. I can hear the smallest details stand out from the saliva of Tori Amos’ mouth to the distinct seperation of instruments and clarity of drums in Tool to David Gilmour’s beautiful guitar solos hearing his fingers slide unlike any recording I’ve heard before. Classical and electronic music have taken new shape. PJ Harvey’s demo albums truly sound like I’m in the room while the magic happens. I was close to buying much more expensive speakers I was unsure on the sound and these overwhelm me in comparison and for a great price. Be sure to use a strong receiver to get the most out of what they can provide. They are also beautiful in design. Was very happy with Best Buy showing me a wide range of options and helping me pair the system together to get the best audio experience possible

Klipsch 800 Series review

First off, these things are HUGE! I replaced a pair of JBL Loft 50 series tower speakers and these are clearly triple the footprint (picture attached of size after unboxing)! BUT, it is a very clear sounding speaker and brings a much larger stage to the front of my room now. It does add a lot more low end that my 10" JBL sub was decent at, but this has just enhanced it even more. I moved my JBL Loft tower speakers to the back surround positions to replace the smaller JBL Loft bookshelf units and now feel like the Klipsch 98db SPL advantage it has over the much weaker sounding JBL's (91db SPL) is going to have me looking for new Klipsch speakers for the rear surrounds.
If you're looking for a solid speaker that you can get into for under $1000 a pair (black Friday/cyber Monday deals), this is a great choice. They are big and heavy (around 50lbs~ each), so measure and make sure they will fit where you plan to put them!

To start off, I’m running…
2 Klipsch R-50 bookshelves in rear
2 Klipsch R800 for left and right
1 Klipsch R-30C for center
2 Klipsch R/41sa for height/Atmos speakers
1 Klipsch R-120SW for subwoofer
This setup was massive for me and I’m loving every minute of it. I’ll be reviewing the other pieces as well. For the towers, I have them left and right, to start off, they are massive and as heavy as they look. they have a phenomenal blend of mids and lows. I’m convinced that had I not bought the sub, these things would’ve gave me even an adequate and punchy little bass. They still wouldn’t compare to the sub itself for that but just wanted to add that that’s how great they are. They really bring the movie alive and are insanely powerful and immersive.

This speaker is an excellent buy. I bought two of them to replace my sony speakers as my front speakers in my entertainment system. Man these things sound great the vocals in movies playback are so clear and loud. I don't have to turn up the volume to hear ppl talking then rush to turn it down when action occurs because its too loud. Nice balance and even takes off stress from my subwoofers

I absolutely love these speakers! I wanted the 8000 series but just had to keep budget in mind. The 800 did not disappoint! The clarity is just superb! They are pretty large.l but worth all the space they take!!! They are quality built look like they will last for many years to come. I’m not an audiophile and know all the particulars but man these things are incredible for music or movies of all types! I have them paired to my Denon receiver I also bought from Best Buy. They very very simple to hook up and start listening to.

Got them “open box” when someone ordered them, and cancelled the order. They showed up at my local best buy for $380 each. The manager just didnt want them in stock. Absolutely worth every dollar i spent. I had a denon reciever powering them at first, an old 2009 powerful al processing plus. Then i saw the sony an1000 open box for $500, and got the three of them. Absolutely incredible speakers. They took a second of break in, but once they are even semi broken in then sound absolutely unbelievable for the price i paid. Currently have it in a 3.2 simple setup, with definative suber cube subs and polk center channel.

Best speakers for home theatre system

I thought the bookshelf speakers were good enough. Boy was I wrong. I purposely waited for these to go on sale and when they did, i jumped on them. They are definitely heavier than they look and I would recommend having an extra set of hands to help with removing from the box. Setup was a snap and once I tried that out I was blown away. I no longer need to go to the movie theater. You can have your own with these.

Great speakers. Definitely on the larger side, make sure to measure. They definitely took a little while to break in, but once they did, I’m very pleased with how they sound.

If you power the speakers with a amplifier, you can almost get away without using a subwoofer. I would definitely recommend these speakers…..especially when they were on sale.
