    Book shelf speakers as surroundsound speakers. Still not quite sure how to take that, but we will test the system and see if it sounds better than other systems I’ve had that have normal surroundsound speakers the speakers are pretty high dollar.

    For the price I paid these should be rated a 5. The sound is really good especially with the 12” sub. Since buying these I have been thinking about replacing my current surround speakers with this model.

    While these speakers are fine as surrounds in a home theater setup, i found them lacking when playing music. Even with an SVS SB-2000 taking over at 80hz, they sound thin and bright. I will definitely demo next time before making a purchase. Again, if theyre in yout hidget range then they perform adequately as surrounds.

    Junk. Klipsch is definitely not what it used to be. Speakers worked for 3 uses then stopped. Waste of time and money. Avoid these speakers like the plague.

    They're okay for small speakers. I was expecting more bass from them based on other's review. Decide to keep them since they were on sale and okay.

    Beautiful Sound

    My review also includes the following which was part of the package: Klipsch R-600F Klipsch R-101SW Klipsch R-30C Klipsch R-40SA Klipsch R-50M 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!

    don't be fooled by the size or the price of these speakers. I can fit three of these in one of my previous speakers, but they fill the room with clear, beautiful sound. I can hear the highs, the lows and the middle tones. Great sound at a very affordable price. I may buy another set.

    Really enjoy the sound this set of speakers have. We needed speakers that used speaker wire to work with the turntable we had purchased and these were perfect. Great quality and sound. Would recommend
