I bought a total of 8 of these actually. 4 for my master bedroom and 4 for my office.
These go with my Pioneer LX304, which I also bought from Best Buy.
The combo is amazing. Everything sounds like a movie theater in my master and office. I just go in there to relax and get away from folks and I listen to something when I work.
Music, Movies, and Gaming, look and sound amazing as I have everything going through the the Receiver via eArc to the TV.
No matter what we are listening too, we love this. Great power and seriously beautiful looking.

I have these connected to a Sony STR-DN1060 and they fill my rather large living room up with very crisp and clean sound. I could hear the bass open up after about 15 minutes of moderate volume Deadmou5. This is a good deal at 1/2 price and free next day delivery in Montgomery, TX can’t be beat.

I chose these over the 8” model because spec-wise the only difference was 3 less Hz on the frequency response, a little less power handling, and 1 dB less sensitive. I have a sub, so I didn’t care about a few Hz lacking, and these things get so loud with zero distortion, I’m not sure what you would do with the extra power handling. It was worth the savings to me.
These are crisp, clear and powerful. I love hearing the mid-bass I was missing from the wimpy speakers I had before. These also blend nicely with a subwoofer. As I said, I’m not sure how loud you would have to crank these to make them distort. Highs are crystal clear, but not harsh to me, and plenty of midrange as well.
I prefer a more wood grain look over the finish on these, but the copper drivers and screws are eye catching. Just like any Klipsch speaker, they are a good vale at regular price, but at 1/2 off, they are a great deal, and nothing comes close in that price range!

I am completely blown away by the sound that these speakers produce. It was immediately apparent that the sounds from high to low was cleaner and more colorful compared to my old Yamaha speakers. I'm using them in a 5.2.4 configuration with the crossover set to 100 kHz.

These speakers are beautiful and as for the sound quality, best towers ive ever owned. Ive put them through some of the most intense moments from Dolby Atmos True HD to music and they never falter. They handle everything i throw at them and have a crisp clear sound no matter what.

I wonder if I'm listening to the same speaker as so many here. I'm giving them another week or more to break-in but in the first 2 days I really can't stand them, at least for music. For home-theater, movie-watching etc. I think they're really quite good for the price. Music though, absolutely not unless you *only* listen to EDM and other electronica, some hip-hop and pop and that's about it. They have a weirdly inflated low-end with a ton of mid-bass but the upper bass and *all* lower mids aren't just hollow, they're just not there. The highs are splashy and brittle and tinny. A cymbal strike only has the "tick" of the attack and no body to it, e.g. you can hear the cymbal, just the idea of a cymbal. But it's very loud, that's certain. Acoustic, classical, jazz and even most rock don't sound right because the mids are so anemic. But they thump and slam and they do go very loud, very easily with a modest amplifier.
I was able to dial in an EQ that made them listenable to me for longer than 10 minutes but it's the first time I have EVER turned on the high fitler on my Marantz and just left it on for everything. From there I could dial the EQ normally, but it's telling and I doubt I can live with these.... But I'll give it another week or two.
Again, for movie-watching these work well. The sound is very dynamic and forward (as Klipsch are) sounding and with plenty of mid-bass a sub isn't really necessary unless you want total house rumble.
I should also mention the build-quality is cheap. The feet for these are plastic that feel like they'll maybe last 5 years at the absolute most before breaking. Also one of the screw for attaching those feet broke at the head, just sheared right off, when I was putting the very first foot on - just from hand-tightening - e.g. even the screws are cheap garbage metal.
Sorry, but with all the clamoring about the new Klipsch speaker lines I thought I'd give them a try since I'd not lived with a Klipsch set of loudspeakers since around 2001 (a roommate's) and figured they sound like some changes had been made. They haven't. They're still Klipsch.
I entirely understand why this sound may absolutely rock the world for many people, but for any nuance or control in music listening for me they just don't work. Overall, they get a solid pass for home-theater and thus far a total fail for music. I'd give them 3-stars if the 100-dollar-off-each sale price I got was their regular price. But at full normal pricing, 2-star. Just my opinion. You have to listen for yourself.

I sold electronics many years ago. I had a nice 5.1 surround sound system that I didn't think I would part from. I went into BB looking for appliances, and strolled over to the audio section. Always respected Klipsch, never thinking I would own them. At first I considered just replacing the Sub. After doing that I realized I needed to replace my speakers on stands with towers. I was astounded by the difference! This speaker system is absolutely amazing! Bright Crystal clear highs, strong mids, and bass you can feel in your chest. Coming from someone who made a living from selling audio for a decade, this is a phenomenal experience I enjoy coming home to every day!

Great lows and highs. Hooked up to a Sony STH DH790 . It get the job done. But I think I need a more powerful receiver for these speakers. So don't get these unless you spend the money on a better receiver. These also make you think you have subs in the room.

I adore the clarity produced from these speakers! I paired them with the Sony STRDH190 2-ch Home Stereo Receiver, it produces an insane amount of loudness without sacrificing clarity! I want to buy more very soon!

I’ve always been a big fan of Klipsch. The tractix horn makes all the difference and the bass is deep and clear. Whether you’re watching a movie or listening to your favorite tunes, this is the speaker for you.

WAF will not allow wall mounted speakers (until I finally got my front heights, but that's another story). So to complete out a 9.2 set-up, I purchased these to bring up the rear speaker duty. They also now hold my Klipsch Atomos upward firing speakers perfectly while serving as the surround rears. They do a great job at both tasks.
