    High end is extremely aggressive on all Klipsch speakers, something I l wish I had known before buying into a 5.1.2 system. (RP-8000F II, RP-404C II, RP-500SA II and these RP-502S II) I began having ear pain within the first week, no amount of eq seems to tone them down. Within a day of packing the speakers up to return them the ear pain subsided. If you have even slightly sensitive ears, stay away from Klipsch. The best they sounded was after I packed them up for return. Back to my old Bower’s and Wilkins.

      I am sorry to hear that you had this experience with Klipsch speakers! Please keep in mind that it is common for passive home theater speakers to have a 60-100 hour break in period before they sound the best! klipsch

    Great for lower ceilings

    Way way way more effective than the lower-end model. I was hesitant to upgrade but was blown away by the performance. Never really bought in to the upward-firing ATMOS gimmick but these make the experience surprisingly acceptable. High ceilings are not as effective. I had these in a home with 9' ceilings and the results were great. With 15' ceilings, it's enough to know the space is filled but not the best scenario. Angle makes a huge difference, also. Be sure to account for where the sound will bounce so it lands in your seating area and not behind you

    These surround speakers sound as great as they look. I used hardware rated for up to 40lbs to hang them on the wall just to be on the safe side. At first I was annoyed that they hung crooked (top to bottom and that they freely moved left to right but then when I added the provided rubber feet to the back both of those issues were corrected. I love these.

    Bought a pair for rear channel use in a 7.1 system. They work very well with my all Martin-Logan system. They are especially good with lossless formats such as DTS-HD Master Audio. Will be buying another pair to build a 5.1.4 Atmos system. At that time, these speakers will be repurposed as rear height speakers.

    Amazing real life sound. After setting up as my rear channels I watched a movie in DTS and literally flinched when a helicopter went flying overhead.
