Klipsch R-41SA Powerful Detailed Home Speaker Set of 2 Black

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.

Exactly what I expected: Klipsch quality standard. GREAT UPGRADE for my stereo.

So good sounds thanks

I first purchased refurbished Sony SS-CSE Atmos speakers for half of what these Klipsch cost from another seller on Amazon. They arrived in their original packaging and were in “Like New” condition. They sounded pretty good. However, both speakers died after about a week which is not normal. Luckily the seller granted me a refund. I then bought these Klipsch Atmos speakers and I must say they sound better than the Sony’s. These have a horn tweeter and the Sony’s only had a single driver with no tweeter. I can definitely hear the difference having the horn tweeter. These speakers sound more dynamic. Currently, I have placed them on my front towers and they sound really good. I think eventually I will mount them on the front wall near the ceiling as I hear that is a better place to get the full Atmos effect. They sound great with 4K discs that have an Atmos soundtrack. However, don’t expect miracles when playing standard non Atmos content. There is not much sound that comes out of the speakers. But overall, I bought these specifically for playing 4K discs with Dolby Atmos soundtracks. So, they are serving their purpose.

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.

Really like these speakers. Build quality is great, (after all, they are Klipsh). The only thing to be aware of is to make sure they match the other speakers output as closely as possible when you are thinking of your purchase.

Great front uppers, I may buy two more for my upper rear channels

I'll start with the fact that I'm a fan of Klipsch. My current speaker system is an all Klipsch 5.1 system with 2 fronts, a center channel, 2 surrounds, and a subwoofer. I just moved and had to leave behind my built-in Klipsch front, "height" speakers. So I went from a 7.1 system (the max that my receiver supports) down to 5.1.When I saw these speakers go on special it was my lucky day! I ordered them right away to complete my 7.1 system again. I'm very pleased with the sound of these speakers and they really complete the sound of my system. I like how convenient it is to just be able to set them on top of my Klipsch towers! They reflect nicely off my my ceiling and give me that "height" that I was missing. They can be wall mounted and at some point I will experiment with putting them up high on the front wall. They will then be angled down and pointing directly to my listening area. I can then evaluate the sound and choose what is best. I should add, I'm going to set up two step ladders on either side of my system, then put a board across those, and then place the speakers on the board. Then I can move them around a bit while evaluating the sound before I decide weather to mount them on the wall or not.A little bit about what I found out in researching these R-41SA's before I ordered:* They came out in 2018 and at some point were "replaced" with the R-40SA's.* The spec's on the R-40SA's are almost identical to these R-41SA's.* The newer 40's do have a different front design that increases the dispersion from the tweeter* The newer 40's also have a stiffer material for the woofer* It appears that Klipsch is closing out the R-41SA'sI think that they were a great speaker in 2018 when they first came out and they fit in perfectly with my system. I don't see the changes made to create the R-40SA's to be that earth shattering that I wanted to go with the "latest and greatest". I like the value of these R-41SA's and the sound. Very pleased.
