Overview
Klipsch bundles a full Reference home theater here: Atmos towers with up-firing drivers, a center, two surrounds and twin powered subwoofers. Horn loaded tweeters give the high efficiency and punch the brand is known for.
Two subwoofers smooth bass across the room, and the up-firing towers add height effects without ceiling speakers. Every speaker is passive except the subs, so an Atmos receiver is a required extra.
Who it's for
Movie fans fitting out a living room or media room who already own, or plan to buy, a multichannel AV receiver. Small apartments may find two subwoofers and floor towers too much.
Pros and cons
- Complete matched speaker package
- Atmos height without ceiling speakers
- Two subwoofers for even bass
- Horn tweeters for high efficiency
- AV receiver not included
- Large footprint for small rooms
- Up-firing effect depends on ceiling height
Performance notes
Horn loaded tweeters convert amplifier power into volume efficiently, so a mid sized receiver can drive the system loudly. Up-firing elevation drivers bounce sound off a flat ceiling, and their effect weakens with high or angled ceilings. Two subwoofers placed apart even out bass peaks and nulls in the room.
