Klipsch Never Disappoints!
By Copernicus on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2025
To this day, I've never had any difficulty reviewing Klipsch speakers as all of my main speakers are and have been over many years, Klipsch, so I kinda feel I just might possess enough "street-cred" to give them a worthy review. Presently, I'm using a Denon AVR x4800h receiver with 125watt/channel to run my 7.1 main zone in our living room, which, IMHO, is outstanding, but I needed a pair of really nice quality speakers for my patio, because sitting out there listening to the sub-par Bluetooth speakers just isn't cutting it anymore. I did take my time and spent a lot of it looking around for the right speakers because, I know the good ones, at least to me, can be and usually are a little pricey and then may or may not deliver the waves you were hoping for. Fortunately, I found these on Amazon, and at 53% off, that's an O.M.G! in my book. And what a perfect addition for the patio! It didn't take me long to unbox (which the boxing alone was excellent), install and crank the juice to these impressive, Klipsch speakers. The Denon has additional Zone options which allows one to wire speakers in different areas and use all the amplifier's options to run them. Suffice to say, these exceeded my expectations, and they were high as I expected and was hoping for another great experience coming from "The Keepers of The Sound." Without a doubt, everything from the killer bass to the Mids and Highs, all were absolutely outstanding! I spaced them approximately 15 to 20 feet apart, angled slightly downwards since they're not exactly at listening level, but after all was said and done, the sounds meld together so perfectly that they give the impression they're mounted directly behind my head and my tympanics are doing the "soft-shoe" dance. I have a need for my music to be clear, crisp and usually loud, and that also means it has to have as little of distortion as possible, so it becomes an almost a spiritual experience instead of a fatiguing one. Again, the clarity with zero distortion at the loudness I play them, not to mention they're suitable for outside use and should be able to withstand almost everything Mother Nature has to throw at them, which is another impressive attribute. For my review, I couldn't give them anything but my highest recommendation for price, style, quality of outrageous sound across all 3 spectrums, and knowing they were made by, again, the Keepers of The Sound, it's a safe bet, these will last and provide great neural sensations for many years to come. 5 Stars all day long for all the above.

Worst of Klipsch speakers I own -buy from source which allow return if have same issues as mine
By Smachilli on Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2018
The speakers sold by world wide Audio are fake and don’t work . I bought Klipsch as I own almost 15 speakers in my home from Klipsch including RF7-2 towers which sounds great in my theater . I read the reviews and needed speakers for my outdoor patio, so not looking to any other brand went straight to Klipsch. Installed under the deck on the edge facing towards my patio , 10'apart and 10' high facing down and inwards.What an unpleasant surprise.Good: Large, looks finished and can be painted is a plus. I did not paint as original color is nice. But these are speakers and sound is most important aspect of there existence so really no good for there good looks.Cons: Well, I do know some about speakers and even not audiophile have a good sense of how speakers should sound on high volume. I understand these are outdoor speakers and cant be compared to RF 7-2 Towers or indoor in wall speakers comfort environment but ,The speakers are OK on low volume lets say half the volume of a Yamaha Aventage 1070 with 110 watt each channel on 2-Ch Stereo mode. I took the yamaha aventage from indoors setup which were playing awesome my indoor in wall klipsch speakers but same settings these two outdoors are just plain blow out like flat blurr at high volume. I reduced the bass to -2 and turned all effects and extra base, but same terrible $12 amazon basic speaker like sound came from these speakers. I am baffled as spent close to $600 in installation with all the premium 12 gauge wires and installation gear and charges and results is worse than $20 portable speakers quality with Bluetooth I have bough from amazon . I tried just playing one speaker at a time, same results as I thought maybe one speaker is blown the woofer but both sound flat individually and blurred at higher volumes. What am I doing wrong ? All those glowing reviews for what -now I have serious trust issues with amazon reviews ? Whats the disconnect ?So not happy, these are going back . Will look at other brands , and if somebody have success with other brands please suggest . I will add sub woofer outside and filter low frequencies to sub woofer but the speakers of this size should not be sound like crap/muffled with bass reduced . very disappointed.
