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

I can’t install speakers in the ceiling or walls. These work fairly well. If you are like Me and you can’t get Atmos any other way these will give you some of the experience.

Already had Klipsch 7.1 setup with Onkyo NR-7100. Added these as top middle speakers at the top of the side walls about 3 feet in front of my head. These sound great and really filled out the sound bubble!

Two sets of these, mounted up at ceiling height on the wall, measured out to Dolby specifications for 5.2.4 will give you the Atmos experience youre looking for. Lesser speakers just dont emulate the sounds correctly. Take the plunge!

Nice speakers, excellent sound quality matching with the rest of my rp series. However, It did not accomplished the primary function of creating the overhead atmos effect. I tried different setups; on top of the floor speakers (this is how it should of work) on top of the media center furniture, like 6 inches lower than the top of floor speaker, and even 8 inches over the floor speaker without success, my listening spot is almost 10 feet away from the front of the speakers. I could listen the atmos soundtrack effect but practically coming from the front, it felt to directional and not overhead. The only way I got these speakers to sound incredibly good was as front height speakers, but since that isn’t an option for me because of the reduced space there is between my 84” projector screen and the walls/ceiling, they weren’t going to be centered. As you can see on the pictures, it’s a perfect match in size for my rp-250’s, there is another pic where it shows my reduced space with screen rolled down, beneath that screen is a 49” lg tv which I’ll be updating for a 65 in the future, another pic shows the atmos speakers sitting on my media center furniture, this way the speakers don’t interfere with the screen, but no overhead effect for me, (I was willing to sacrifice some screen if I’d got the atmos effect while they were sitting on top of the speakers) The Onkyo receiver was recalibrated and set to atmos option once I hooked these speakers. I was really trying to like them, they have astonishing sound quality and the finish is beautiful, but no overhead sound effect for me. Unfortunately I’ll end up returning these speakers and since overhead speakers aren’t an option since I’m a renter, I’ll look for smaller front height speakers that are adequate for my space, or just keep it nice and tight with 5.1

Moving from Polk and will never look back! Well built and sound terrific !!

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!

Im not sure what kind of random super luck I had last week but I got these for $499 each along with a RP504c at $499 and a pair of RP500sa for $399 all in piano black from vendors listed on Klipschs website as authorized web vendors. It might be worth setting up a camelcamelcamel alert to watch for these on sale again. Anyway, a little story. I have had a pair of Polk RTi70s for years that I like so much I bought a second pair of for another room. I really liked them but thought I would see what else I could hear with my Christmas bonus. I have been a fan of SVS Subs for quite a while so I bought a pair of their Prime Pinnacles. After reading all the glowing reviews how could I go wrong? Well, they are better than the old Polks but still not the massive improvement I was hoping for. Reviews of the Pinnacles say the highs are laid back, to me they just werent as clear and crisp as I was hoping for. I started seeing YouTube videos with reviewers liking the RP8000Fs better. Then I came across the sale. I contacted SVS and even though I was past the 45 day trial period, they agreed to take back the Pinnacles and refund me. I cant say enough about their customer service. Top Notch! So I set up a return and ordered the RP8000Fs. Then I realized that with what I was getting back from SVS, I could also get the RP504c center and still be ahead so that got ordered as well. The next day, I decided this is probably my one chance to get the matching surrounds on sale so the RP500SAs were ordered as well. Several days later they all showed up within minutes of each other. I unboxed and set up all 5 speakers with my Denon X3300W 105w per channel. After running the calibration I was blown away! This is the sound I have been looking for. The highs are right there but not overpowering. The bass blends well with my 2 SVS SB12s. Sweeping around the room the sound from each speaker is matched perfectly whether coming from the 51/4 woofers in the center and surrounds or the 8 woofers in the RP8000Fs. Everything sounds so crisp and clean whether its Easy E or the Eagles. The sound is sweet and perfectly matched in every frequency, no overpowering bass even though it is strong. No overpowering high end like Klipsch is known for. These are the Goldilocks of speakers. Everything sounds just right. I put few movies in as well and was just as impressed. Thunder booms powerfully, lightning cracks sharply, you hear every individual rain drop. Its like my ears got an upgrade. These things are fantastic! In the end, if you have the money, buy them! If you dont have the money, start saving and look for a sale, then buy them!

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.

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.

The speaker looks great with the covers on or off I definitely like how easy it is to take off the covers.. the tweeter on these Klipsch units are super clean an crisp
