    I wanted these so I could add to my system. I have heard many different ways on how to use them. I decided on leaving them on top of my towers. They are a great add on, but not sure if I notice a big improvement overall. I will run DIRAC again now that I have them hooked up and see what difference it makes. I do like the fit and finish, glad I got them on sale, they aren’t worth the $500 price tag.

    For the last two weeks I've been test-driving a pair of Klipsch Reference series 40SA Atmos up-firing speakers. These are brand new for 2022 and at the time of this writing there is no information online about them. However, I believe these are a revised version of the 41SA Model with similar specs and a new design for the horn. For my testing I am using these with the Klipsch 2022 Reference speaker series. With that said, These are a well constructed set of speakers that are purpose built to be used with the Klipsch 800F tower speakers. They fit perfectly on top of the 800F towers and even come with a set of short banana jack cables to connect the two. Or they can also be mounted on the wall using the keyhole on the back of the speaker. When they are connected to an Atmos capable receiver with Atmos enabled movies, these little speakers sound good. They bounce certain sounds off of the ceiling to your listening area giving you the illusion of sounds coming from above you. But when used for regular music or non-Atmos content they really don't provide any benefit other than looking cool. Overall, I would recommend these to someone looking for a complete home cinema experience.

    I did not realize what I was missing without ATMOS speakers. Holy moly!!! I have never thought I really needed ATMOS cause I don't have a huge space but man I was wrong. The difference is night and day. I have these setup on the tops of the tower speakers because mounting them up high would be a challenge for me. The way the sound bounces off the ceiling and hits my ears is pretty surprising, in a good way. I have used these with several movies and these things just keep amazing me. The way the sound travels is impressive. Every plane that flew overhead, every explosion and every time thunder roared and rain fell was so realistic and detailed. The highs and mid range are very clear. The lower end for these is a bit lacking but that's ok. I do wish I could set these to 80hz without being worried about overworking the woofers. The manual recommends to start at 150hz. I have them set to 120hz, which I am good with all things considered. The style is the same as all the other speakers series, which is nice to look at. The slant for the ATMOS feature is cool. The mounting options are pretty straightforward. Overall, I am very please with these speakers.

    Well haven’t had any issues with the sound. They only work with certain settings and hardware. They were silent once because of the playback software from the content I was watching. If I have any real issues in the future I will write another review on it if the time calls for it. So far so good though.

    I have paired these Klipsch Atmos speakers with my KEF R7 and they work well together. I was not to concerned with mixing brands, as I think eg timbre-matching is less important for surround speakers, not least Atmos speakers.

    First time adding Atmos speakers to my set up and these sound great. They were easy to set up with banana plugs and easy to hang up on the wall to fire the audio downwards.

    They work great with Dolby Atmos. They do not work without 7.1 or 5.1.2 channel ability.
