Klipsch Reference Next Generation R-40SA Dolby Atmos High-Performance, Horn-Loaded Elevation Surround Speaker Pair for Best-in-Class Immersive Home Theater in Black

They work great and won't distortion until the volume is at +15 or +20 Db wich is a crazy amount and you should not take them to that limit. They work great.

Best in class, says it all! I was fortunate to pick these up "used like new" for half price, so I jumped on that deal. My whole theater system is solely comprised of Klipsch speakers and the addition of these two completed the 7.1. The clarity is really impressive. The volume it can handle without distortion is amazing. I'm using a Denon AVR x4800h, 125 watt/channel to drive them and they definitely can handle the juice. Just walking past them or sitting anywhere within the Denon's Audyssey acoustical configuration, they're crystal clear and absolutely non-fatiguing. I give these speakers 5 Stars all day long for excellent pricing, quality sound and looks. Not much is better than great sounding speakers when watching movies or listening to music.

We had been running a VSX LX-105 as a 5.2.2 setup with a set of Andrew Jones Atmos speakers. Klipsch came out with updated speakers at an updated price and I found the previous year’s speakers on sale all over Amazon. We added a few at a time and after getting the first ones and being impressed with the quality and sound, we eventually got enough Klipsch Reference series to fit out our new LX-505 7.2.2 setup. We got two R-120SW subwoofers, a pair of RB-61 II fronts, a pair of R-40SA Atmos, a RC-62 II center and RIC-65 ceiling surrounds. All of them are heavy, quality speakers putting out impressive highs, mids and lows. Used the Dirac Live sound setup that came with the LX-505 and the resulting sound stage is perfect. Could not fault this setup in any way. Sooo glad we upgraded to the 505, Dirac and Klipsch.

Incredible. I am using a 7.1.2 set up. So everything about my system sounds good but just not quite there yet, Then I found this speaker for $199....a steal so I got present for the home theater set up. These Dolby Atmos speakers were just what I was missing. I use a wall unit, front speakers are Bose cubes so they are mounted up high in the corners and aimed as necessary for best sound. I dont have front towers so I mounted these on top of the wall unit with approx 4 feet to the ceiling. This extra channel allows sound engineers to do incredible things with diffent sounds, they are then reflected off the ceiling and down into the center of the room. I paired them with an onkyo TX-NR6100 7.2.2Home Theater reciever, Klipsch R-52C center channel and Bose Acoustimass 10 Series V speakers for the rest of the room. I have an older home, 3/4" thick walls, The kind that you don't need screw inserts to mount a picture or shelf. My system shakes the house, movies are the bomb. Recommend.

I bought these for surround sound and mounted them on wall behind viewing area. After recalibrating my 5.1 system, they blend in well and transparently with my front Klipsch towers and subwoofer. I am not using these for an Atmos channel projecting upward from the front, so can't review that application. The system sounds every bit as good as those in movie theaters, and good for playing my existing music CDs, but if I were using this more as an audiophile system, I'd probably go with something larger for the surround speakers.

Company was quick to respond to return. Items were great when I received, just found the next step up that seem more feasible for my set up. Klipsch speakers are number 1 for the money in my book paired with an Onkyo who the use to design there speakers is absolutely nuts . The sounds that you don't even know where it's coming from or the dogs bark cause it's so pure.

Dolby atmos definitely is needed for surround sound. These speakers look great. The sound is excellent.

I added this pair of Klipsh speakers to my existing pair of Klipsh KF-26 floor standing speakers. All 4 sound great, clear and crisp.
