Klipsch Reference R-625FA 5.1 Home Theater Pack, Black Textured Wood Grain Vinyl

Great system for the price! I was a little skeptical about a 5.1 surround from Klipsch for this price. I already have a couple pairs of the speakers so I know they make a good product but the last set I bought cost more than this system for just a pair of towers. Most all of the reviews said they sounded really good. I liked that these were a little smaller because the room they are for is only about 10'x12'. They arrived quickly and were packed nice. Most of the reviews stated that the supplied screws to hold the feet on the towers were a low quality screw and several had snapped trying to install them. Having been aware of this before assembly, I had a few quality a wood screws and took one that was the same size and ran it into the holes on each speaker then used the supplied screws and they threaded in nicely. After setting every thing up to my receiver, that's rated at 75 watts per channel, I listened to them playing music from youtube on the television. They really sound amazing! Next I watched a movie that I'd seen several times. Listening with this system was incredible! I heard so much more than just listening through the TV speakers. Words and lines from the actors were clearer and made more sense. People talking in the background and other subtle sounds that I could here for the first time made me enjoy one of my favorite movies even more. The sub woofer adds a whole new dimension to the listening experience. Again don't let the smaller size worry you. It will absolutely shake the room!

Very pleased with the quality of these.

Preface: I have a 10'x12' room I've converted to a home theater with a 100" projector screen. I also have a large Hi-Fi with Magneplanar 1.7i speakers and an Emotiva stack. I use a PS4 for my base BD player and an Intel-based Windows workstation as a streaming device for both my video content and as a SteamBox for gaming. The room is treated with sound absorbing panels and drapery to help with bass-trapping and unwanted reflections. The rears are on common triangle-style podium stands I hand-built and are secured in place with 20lb sandbags. The Center is on a custom bench I made (with triangle-style pillar legs) over the center-aligned Subwoofer directly underneath the center-point of the projection screen. Unfortunately, 92" of the wall's 108" width is taken up with the projection screen, and the room having a somewhat short length, means that the speakers have to be butted up against the walls both front/back and the sides, so, they have very sub-optimal placement. Review: With all of that said, these things are LOUD, clear as CRYSTAL, and after treating the room with foam diffusers, setting up the room-correction on my receiver, and adjusting the PS4/Windows to accommodate the 5.1+Atmos (where possible), the stereo and positional effects are GREAT! Music has clear and broad soundstage, image separation is quite good for an HT setup (at least as good as my Denon receiver can produce), and music playback is not nearly as good as my full audiophile setup but is still impeccable for a 5.1 (even in multi-channel stereo using the rears/center along with just the towers.) I slighted the bang-for-buck score to 4/5 because, while these clearly out-perform my previous Fluance 5.1 bundle, that was 200$ with a 200$ separate sub, and the audio quality was about 80% of what this provides at more than 3x the cost. Audio equipment does not scale linearly, so as components get better, their price scales out of phase with the quality gains, and with THAT in mind, these are a very reasonable price when compared with audiophile gear and provide anywhere from 90-95% of the quality I've seen from boutique/designer brands at 2-5x the cost, so these ARE still quite a good bang-for-buck, but only when you're in a place where you're trying to eke out whatever boost you can over the base 80/20-ROI curve. IMO these are pretty top-tier in their price bracket and there may be some min-maxing to do in the sub-$2k window compared to these and whatever individual needs someone may have, but you will have to jump into the $5k+ window (and upgrade into substantially better amplifier, source, and room infrastructure) before you will hear any tangible acoustic benefits.

I recently purchased an entirely new sound system, which included the Klipsch Reference Series 5.1. I am pairing the set with a Marantz amp. I bought an additional subwoofer to enhance performance. I have had multiple systems throughout the years. This one is the best ever!. The sound is crisp and clear; the bass delivers the lows often missed or distorted by lesser systems. Without reservation, buy this set. It does not matter what your music genre, the quality will surpass your expectations.

System was delivered appropriately, on time and well packaged. Packaging is a must, Atmos Tower speakers are really heavy, box displayed obvious bumping around, produce was in good shape upon examination. This Atmos Klipsch R625H system is an upgraded, form a 15 year old Magnolia system. A Denon 7.2 R760FA is used to push the system. I use the entire system with 2 Klipsch subwoofers. System come with sound calibration mic & stand, very effective on screen instructions for complete setup. I figured I was missing something sound wise with previous system, which was a decent system. This Klipsch system has provided clearer clarity. Sound system produce perfect sounds whether enjoying music, movies or sports. Based on my research, this is a very quality system that does not break the bank. No regrets! Update: I feel it's important to include an issue with the base/stand. that requires installing by screws into Atmos Speakers. During my reading of reviews, purchaser noted that while attempting to install stands on base of speaker, they found it difficult. Purchasers noted that the screws provided were not well made, and literally broke while attempting to screw them into base of speaker. This is a real issue. I experience this problem, and was very frustrated. I chose not to attach the base/stand on either speaker. There appears to be no adverse effect on sound due to not using stand/base. My previous tower speakers did not have a base, so I decided to go without on my new Klipsch. Speaker appears stable and functional without the base. It seems the base is for more cosmetic purpose. Anyway, I felt strongly about the base of the Atmos Speaker only assembly process, that my review warranted modification and addressing this problem. The screws used to fasten base to bottom of speakers are junk. This does not take away from the systems function. For a quality system, designers fell extremely short on 8 screws. I change my stars from 5, to 4. Very frustrating assembling process.
