KlipschReference Series 5.1 Home Theater Pack with 2X R-625FA Floorstanding Speakers, R-52C Center Channel Speaker, 2X R-41M Bookshelf Speakers (Speaker System + Subwoofer)

Great system for the price! I was a little skeptical about a 5.1 surround from Klipsch for this price. I already have a couple pairs of the speakers so I know they make a good product but the last set I bought cost more than this system for just a pair of towers. Most all of the reviews said they sounded really good. I liked that these were a little smaller because the room they are for is only about 10'x12'. They arrived quickly and were packed nice. Most of the reviews stated that the supplied screws to hold the feet on the towers were a low quality screw and several had snapped trying to install them. Having been aware of this before assembly, I had a few quality a wood screws and took one that was the same size and ran it into the holes on each speaker then used the supplied screws and they threaded in nicely. After setting every thing up to my receiver, that's rated at 75 watts per channel, I listened to them playing music from youtube on the television. They really sound amazing! Next I watched a movie that I'd seen several times. Listening with this system was incredible! I heard so much more than just listening through the TV speakers. Words and lines from the actors were clearer and made more sense. People talking in the background and other subtle sounds that I could here for the first time made me enjoy one of my favorite movies even more. The sub woofer adds a whole new dimension to the listening experience. Again don't let the smaller size worry you. It will absolutely shake the room!

Preface: I have a 10'x12' room I've converted to a home theater with a 100" projector screen. I also have a large Hi-Fi with Magneplanar 1.7i speakers and an Emotiva stack. I use a PS4 for my base BD player and an Intel-based Windows workstation as a streaming device for both my video content and as a SteamBox for gaming. The room is treated with sound absorbing panels and drapery to help with bass-trapping and unwanted reflections. The rears are on common triangle-style podium stands I hand-built and are secured in place with 20lb sandbags. The Center is on a custom bench I made (with triangle-style pillar legs) over the center-aligned Subwoofer directly underneath the center-point of the projection screen. Unfortunately, 92" of the wall's 108" width is taken up with the projection screen, and the room having a somewhat short length, means that the speakers have to be butted up against the walls both front/back and the sides, so, they have very sub-optimal placement.Review: With all of that said, these things are LOUD, clear as CRYSTAL, and after treating the room with foam diffusers, setting up the room-correction on my receiver, and adjusting the PS4/Windows to accommodate the 5.1+Atmos (where possible), the stereo and positional effects are GREAT! Music has clear and broad soundstage, image separation is quite good for an HT setup (at least as good as my Denon receiver can produce), and music playback is not nearly as good as my full audiophile setup but is still impeccable for a 5.1 (even in multi-channel stereo using the rears/center along with just the towers.)I slighted the bang-for-buck score to 4/5 because, while these clearly out-perform my previous Fluance 5.1 bundle, that was 200$ with a 200$ separate sub, and the audio quality was about 80% of what this provides at more than 3x the cost. Audio equipment does not scale linearly, so as components get better, their price scales out of phase with the quality gains, and with THAT in mind, these are a very reasonable price when compared with audiophile gear and provide anywhere from 90-95% of the quality I've seen from boutique/designer brands at 2-5x the cost, so these ARE still quite a good bang-for-buck, but only when you're in a place where you're trying to eke out whatever boost you can over the base 80/20-ROI curve. IMO these are pretty top-tier in their price bracket and there may be some min-maxing to do in the sub-$2k window compared to these and whatever individual needs someone may have, but you will have to jump into the $5k+ window (and upgrade into substantially better amplifier, source, and room infrastructure) before you will hear any tangible acoustic benefits.

This system is SO GOOD. Purchased them a few days ago, pretty easy set up, and they sound fantastic. Totally worth it.

I bought this set of speakers to use with the Onkyo TX-NR797 receiver. They sound really nice with both the television and music (we have soft music streaming or on CDs most of the time we're home). I added a couple of Dolby Atmos speakers in addition to the Atmos speakers that are in the floor-standing speakers. The Onkyo receiver balances each speaker to the room, so they should be leveled right, but we don't hear from the Atmos speakers what we're supposed to hear. I think it's because we have that acoustical sprayed on junk on our ceilings that absorbs the sound rather than letting it bounce off. The sound of the speakers is very good, nonetheless. Had I known this would be an issue, though, I would have opted for the less expensive Klipsch set without the Atmos speakers.
