Klipsch RP-500SA Dolby Atmos Surround Sound Speakers (Ebony) (1066507)

Added these as height speakers to the front and back of my home theater surround sound set up. They look good and sound great with both movies and music.

Have these installed as my front height channels. Have some weight to them. Easy to mount and look good. Plan on getting another pair for rear heights.

Love the way they sound.

These Klipsch Atmos Speakers are sick. Great sound you can hear water splashing, Car crashing, airplane over the head. For $425.00 dollars it was worth it. Very happy with my product.

So far I have these on top of my mains (RP8000Fs). Definitely a much better separation of sound coming from above when these are mounted higher on the wall. Thats going to be a project for me mainly due to wire management, I dont want the wires dangling on the wall & would need to hire an electrician to drill holes & snake the wires through. Too lazy to do all that now but sound is sound, and the extra sound coming from these is more immersive than not having them. My ceilings are 8, supposedly the upfiring design makes sound bounce off the ceiling if 8, very subtle though & still not the same as mounting them on the wall. If you have taller ceiling or cathedral ceilings, there is likely zero upfiring benefit you could hear. But hey, they look cool sitting on the towers lol. In my setup its easier having these then two extra rears for 7.1, so I am going with 5.1.2 Another advantage is the option of a Dialogue lift with my AVR, meaning the center dialogue can get added & spread out to the Atmos speakers in addition to the center channel. For that purpose its better having these on top of the tower speakers so the sound is coming from the TV. Mounted up high, that feature may sound odd. I cross these over to the sub at 100 hz, I hear most people use that or 120. Atmos speakers are not designed to handle any significant bass, not even effectively down to 80 hz. My overall system these are playing with: AVR - Yamaha Aventage A2A. Two Outlaw Monoblock Amps 2220 powering the fronts (RP8000Fs). This frees up the AVR power more for the other surround speakers including these, making them all come to life a bit more. Center is RP500C & rears are RP500M. Sub is SVS SB3000. Very happy with these as part of a very enjoyable upgrade I have made to my sound system over the past month. Also, especially with Atmos, a total waste of money going with the Gen 2 substantially more $. Gen 2 is the same speaker big picture, just with tweaks to very subtly change the midrange. The subtle difference is for critical music listening, totally not worth it & at times depending on the song I actually preferred how the Gen 1 sounded. But when going to surrounds, especially Atmos, not going to hear any difference so my recommendation is dont spend about twice as much for the Gen 2. If I was willing to spend twice as much, Id save up a bit to add a bit more and make a real upgrade - to the next tier of speakers. Like the RF7iii or Heritage Forte iv. Maybe down the road I do. Until then Ill keep thoroughly enjoying the current upgrades I made to an entry level Polk set up I had the last 11 years.

I have these set on the top of my RP-260F towers for now. They blend beautifully with my RP-450C, RP-402S and SVS PB-1000. Power is through a very capable Onkyo TX-NR777. The atmos speakers were delivered last night and I immediately installed them in the system. Initially I was unable to get sound from them. It was definitely operator error. Eventually I figured out I had to go into the Onkyo initial setup menu and enable height speakers. After entering a few dimensions and adjusting sound levels, I was in business. The best way to describe the sound as currently configured is a full frontal wall of sound. Its impressive. I will be picking up another pair of these for rear heights to balance the sound. Eventually I will mount the four atmos speakers in proper elevated positions. Im sure that will only improve the height effects. That has to wait for a while... What doesnt have to wait is enjoying this system daily. Im very happy with this system! These are all quality components from a legendary brand and are definitely worth your consideration. Gotta go now Saving Private Ryan just started... WOW!

I am not an audiophile, per se. I am a deep lover of loud, clear sound from my speakers. I had a set of full sized Klipsch speakers (on all channels) years ago, but had to give them up to appease the wife in our new space. Well. eleven years later and I finally convinced her it was time to build my surround system up again. I couldnt use full-size floor standing surrounds like I used to have, but I needed something to compliment my new reference series RP-8600FAs. These were a great choice. I flipped the switch from Atmos to Surround, configured them on my Aventage receiver and WOW! These things are great. I look forward to getting them properly worn in with the others to really make them shine, but they are well on their way.

I have a 5.1 system and needed front speakers that hang on the wall. These speakers sound great!!! But having them point at an angle down meant placing them higher up when movies use all 3 front speakers for only voice (no background noise) it doesnt sounds like the voice is coming from the TV screen. Not enough to not use them my wife cant hear the difference, but I can. I couldnt find a decent pair of wall hanging speakers.
