The $100 for shipping is well worth it. I bought mine in person. The boxes are massive and heavy as hell. Filled the bed of my truck, and if not for a nice guy in the parking lot who took pity on me and helped, I might’ve died under one of them.
Yep the boxes that this whole thing comes in is absolutely massive! Thank goodness they didn't include a sub in there too LOL, would have been impossible to get through the door. Thanks for watching :)
You want the best for you,then you’ll do it yourself, don’t expect anyone to help you all the time , fact,
Loving this Costco series you guys have going. That truly is a fantastic price for a complete system like this. Great job on the video guys.
Thanks so much Barrett!! It's really hard to beat the value that Klipsch is bringing to the table with this setup, gotta say we were absolutely blown away 😀
I just bought the 12 inch sub woofer and oh my goodness for $250… I blown away. It just completes my system.
I'm so glad you reviewed this system. I like your channel because you review budget friendly and high end products. Everyone else just reviews high and gives to in dept review. Not everyone can afford high end products. Great job and keep you the good reviews. I have this system from Costco and love it! Just waiting to buy a better subwoofer.
Thank you so much!! We're very glad you find the reviews helpful and we'll try to cover the entire price range of components as long as we can. Enjoy the system!!
I've been waiting for a decent review of this system before purchasing. I will definitely be buying this with the sub and the Onkyo that you recommended. Thank you for the quality review!
Thank you very much for the kind words & for watching! We hope you enjoy the system :)
Thanks for sharing this small review. I would love to see a performance review with sound for movies and music. Thanks for all your hard work
Thanks for this. I really liked klipsch I listened to in the past.
One of my customers gifted me his old yamaha RX-V463 after we talked about his bad ass sound system.
I ordered this set of klipsch and ordered a BIC PL-300 sub to go with it.
Cant wait to have this set up in my living room!
Sounds good man! You'll enjoy it!
Thanks for watching & joining the Discord :)
Great video! We bought this setup with two of the subs and a refurb Denon AVR-S950H in January, and love it so far. We've always had Sony home theater in a box type systems before, so just getting into a little more serious setup. It completely blows any of our previous systems out of the water.
Sounds great!! We hope you enjoy the system for years to come :) Welcome to the hobby and thank you very much for watching!
I just bought all of this. Haven’t tested it yet, but I’m glad you did this. No one has done it with any sort of quality review.
I did the same, and added 2 pairs of the R41-M's to make a 7.2.4 with svs pb-1000 pro subs and a Denon x3700h we Love it!!
Thank you guys so much!! We really appreciate the kind words and we hope you enjoy your systems :)
You got to get it all hooked up. It’s a killer system.
Hey Thomas, check out Sony DN1080 AVR it's a great receiver for the money also.
Hi Tom, i'm interested in getting these myself. Do you know if these are made in the USA or are made elsewhere? Is there any indication on the box anywhere? Thanks!
Bought these along with the Yamaha TSR700 for 329 and It just sounds great. We also picked up the Sub for 150. on sale. Gotta love Costco. 90 day return so it was picked up without hesitation, they will not be going back. My wife and I are enjoying the atmos and I'm enjoying listening to music again. Thanks for the great review guys.
Right on!! Thank you very much for watching and we're glad you're enjoying the system! Costco really makes these purchases easy. 😀
Just got done installing the system with 2 Subwoofers and the yamaha for a good-size townhouse living room its sounds great for the money I really recommend this system👍🏻
Good choice!! I'll bet it sounds great with the dual subs. Enjoy the system! It's an incredible deal for the price! 💯
This is awesome. The information here is priceless. Thx for doing all the effort and making my choice easy.
Our pleasure!! We thank you very much for the kind words and your support. It's comments like these that keep us going, and we hope you enjoy your home theater system man! 😀
I purchased this set with the subwoofer and a Denon avr S750H from Costco. I was very happily suprised with the sound quality at this price point! Very glad I got this set over a soundbar that was the same price. Thanks for your reviews. Your reviews helped me choose the Denon avr S750H.
Great to hear! We're glad the decision was a little bit easier and we appreciate the support. Enjoy it!! For the price it's a fantastic set. Thanks for watching as always :)
Picked up at store and add two subs . Sound great! Remember, correct speaker/ sub placement is the key! You can buy the most expensive speakers and have a crappy placement will make it sound terrible
I'm bought this about a month ago. Added an SVS pb1000 pro for my sub and a denon 960h reciever. It's pretty impressive for under 2k. Great review and I highly recommend if your looking for a quick out of the box atmos setup
Thanks for watching!! Enjoy the system :)
I set up that exact same system last weekend including the subwoofer. I used these to replace my very old American Monitor Company speakers I bought in 1977. These things are great. I have them hooked up to a Denon AVR S530BT. It doesn't have the Atmos outputs, so I haven't tested that out, yet, but my Denon has plenty of power to drive these. Thank you TwoGuyzTech for your reviews of the receivers Costco carries. Based on your reviews it looks like any of those will do the trick. Thank you again for your reviews!
We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the system!! We still think it's one of the best values out there right now for a 5.1 system. Any one of the three receivers will work great with these speakers as well. Our personal preference in order is the Onkyo, the Denon, and then the Yamaha (with that said we haven't reviewed the updated Yamaha TSR-700 yet but it's definitely on our list). Thanks for watching!
@@TwoGuyzTech I am ordering the Onkyo today. I don't care for the antiquated interface of my old Denon and I can read what it says on the display panel. Back to the Onkyo, how does one match the surround source with the receiver? Is it clearer on the Onkyo? For example, some Vudu 4k movies have Atmos, some don't. Does the receiver pick that up on its own or is there a set of buttons I'll have to change when going say from ESPN or music to my Vudu movies? Thanks.
I picked this set up, along with the sub. Remodeling the basement, so I won't get to test for several months. Your review reassured me that my purchase was a wise one. I also picked up the Yamaha amp from them too. I never thought of Costco for audio. Glad I did. The savings are amazing.
Thank you very much for watching!! We're glad we were able to put your mind at ease. You made the right choice - enjoy it once it's all setup!
Same. They are still in the box in storage while I demo the basement and remodel. Had to buy them while they were on sale, but am bummed I can't set them up yet.
I purchased these from Costco 6 months ago and I am glad I did for my first atmos sound system or even for a good surround system. I also brought 2 of the same klipsch sub. Well worth it.
Glad you like them!! Good to hear that they're still running great, we're simply stunned at what you get for the price. Thanks so much for watching!!
I bought several of these speakers separately mostly from Costco as well as the Yamaha TSR-700 (rebranded Yamaha you mentioned in the video) last year and I'm happy with the set up. I already had two high end Jamo Tower speaker so I bought the two R-12SW subs from Costco for $149.99 each on sale, four R-41M bookshelf speakers from Costco for $89.99/pair on sale and the R-52C center channel for about $175 from Amazon on sale. I have a vaulted ceiling in my living room so the "atmos" speakers in the Klipsch towers wouldn't work for me. This was a nice upgrade from my old set up and it didn't break the bank. I ended up going with a 7.1 set up with two subwoofers.
Exactly what ive had for the last 3 years. My 1st true system plus the yamaha aventage receiver.
A great honest review, I appreciate that. I have always loved Klipsch and their brightness since the 80s. Now I am torn between the value of this set and a system that is more than twice this cost but performs better.
Glad I could help!! We really appreciate the kind words. In the end, if money is no object, you might as well go for as much performance as possible - but it's hard to understate the value you get with this setup!! Thanks for watching 😀
I bought this exact system from Costco including 2 of the 12" subs and 2X RS41's height channel along with a DENON AVR-X3700H. My Cinema room is complete and sounds amazing!!
Thanks for sharing & watching!! Sounds like an awesome setup!! Enjoy it man :)
I’m very excited I just purchased this setup with 2 rs12-sw’s added. It hasn’t all arrived yet though
I have this exact setup at home + same sub and paired with the Sony STRDN1080 receiver and it's an absolute beast. I was able to set it up myself. I paid 800 for 5.1 speakers, 250 for sub, 1300 for Sony TV Sony - 65" Class X900H and 600 for the receiver. At nearly 3K for this discounted setup and around 4-5K for a professional setup, that's a lot of money for a lot of people. This is the best setup for the money.... if you have the space and want to enjoy full 120 PFS for games, ATMOS movies.
Sounds good man!! Absolutely awesome system, you did a good job balancing everything to fit within your budget and still give you an awesome experience. Enjoy it!! And thanks for watching :)
Got that sub for my 9.2 system at Costco for only 180. Im actually shocked at the bass output for the money. I have a smaller room so it rocks pretty good. The room gain also extended my low frequency output a couple hz, so im quite pleased. I've had bigger and better in my time, but this one def exceeded my expectations quite a bit.
I have had these for a while now. They are powered by a Pioneer Elite VSX 92-TXH, 130x7 watts receiver. They are an amazing value for the money. Budget wise I could've spent 4 times what I paid, but after listening to them, assessing my needs they were perfect. Musically I listen to everything from classical to Metallica and, as you were 100% correct, with the subwoofer, they fulfill all my movie or music needs. I will be upgrading my receiver soon so I can utilize ATMOS. Great review, thanks.
Thanks for watching! These are really good for the money, it's unfortunate that they don't seem to be available at Costco anymore. Glad to hear you had a good experience :)
I have this same setup paired with the costco tx-nr6050 and its amazing. Not sure about the effectiveness of the atmos compared to speakers physically in the ceiling but it definitely gives you a wall of sound the envelopes the room. This combo really cant be beat for the price. Even audiophiles hear it and are amazed.
Thanks for watching! That's what's really amazing about this gear that Costco sells, for the money you really do get a system that has no right to sound as good as it does. We hope you enjoy it for years to come :)
Great review, I had a question. What banana plugs would you recommend for the speaker wires to plug into the receiver? Do you need banana plugs? Is the speaker wire they provided long enough of do you need to buy attritional wire. Thanks you
Great found and also honest review about the price , I do own the Klipsch speaker and I do admit this is a great deal , Although I have to mention I assume they put these deals for speaker who are less popular and sell less like this model R-625FA , Probably they will not have these kind of deal for RP-6000F Or RP-8000F which are top sellers.
Great Video, just purchased this pack. I am going to check out the discord community. Thanks
Awesome, thank you very much!! Enjoy the speakers! :)
I purchased these a couple months ago for a 5.2.2 setup and purchased my Denon S750H from Denon refurbished. It’s a hell of a system and works with Apple Homekit via Airplay.
In the end, it's all a balancing act and the end goal is to get as much for your money as you possibly can. We love the idea of going refurbished and saving some money - enjoy the system!! Thank you very much for watching 😀

*EDIT:* The Klipsch R-120SW seems to be a perfect match for this system aesthetically. Unfortunately, Costco isn't carrying it currently, but if you do want a matching sub, it should be available from retailers like Amazon and Crutchfield. :)
I was thinking about getting this with a BIC Sub, I don't like the Klipsch Subs sound, but I decided to go for the SVS Package and integrate the Atmos speakers later on. I agree these up-firing speakers are not really the way to go, it works OK but it's just not like the real thing, after hearing both versions, in different friends' houses, the real Atmos set up is the way to go. IMHO. Plus I get a much better sub.
@@MrRondonmon Thanks for watching man - yep that's completely right, the built-in Atmos can end up being pretty finicky and you won't always get the best results. We really enjoyed the SVS gear that we reviewed as well! Hope you enjoy it :)
@@TwoGuyzTech Hey Rob, how you doing? I just watched your review and I got this same Klipsch Reference set with a Klipsch R12sw sub also at Costco to replace my old 7.1 surround system. I just have some few question and need your help on choosing to which set of speakers I should buy to make it a 7.1.2 set up coz the klipsch reference is 5.0.2, On my old set up, I placed each surround speaker on each ceiling corner, 2 for rear & 2 for front height. Also, I will check out that same SVS sub that you used for testing if I need a new sub in the future, I already got the klipsch R12 sub.
Option 1: Buy a pair of R-41AS dolby atmos speaker for front height.
Option 2: Buy a pair of R-41M bookshelf for front height.
Option 3: Buy a pair of R-51M bookshelf and place it on rear surround for more sound on the back and place the R-41M bookshelf on front height or R-41AS dolby atmos.
Which type of speakers & set up do you prefer or recommend to get that 7.1 surround sounds? Thank you so much and God Bless you & your channel...
Could you please tell me the name of your tv stand and where you purchased it. (I saw it at 4:53 in the video). I have been searching high and low for a nice looking tv stand that would fit that sized center speaker.
Thanks for showing that it is more cost effective to save up and buy the whole package at Costco rather than piece by piece which I was thinking of doing. To replace my twenty year old Polk speakers.
Glad it was helpful!
My Onkyo TX-SR674 is 7 to 1 surround sound. Hmmm???? I wonder??? And I just subscribe! I like the honest straight forward review.
Thanks for subscribing!! :)
SAD that we've got to a point in Audio/Video Equipment where we think just because something isn't outrageously priced that it should automatically mean there isn't a chance of there being the same quality of something double or triple its price.
Absolutely. I worked in hifi / home theater for 20 years and I was blown away when I saw this setup. I immediately bought it and I am extremely happy with the quality of build and sound and appearance. Klipsch has really thrown down the gauntlet with this deal. I hope they sell a million of them. Great value!
From my experience, this is accurate for a sub though. Your sub alone should be in this price range for something decent. Klipsch subs are ass cheeks.
Exactly. Since Costco has it for such a great deal oh it must be a cheap set up 🤣
@@christheisgen2979 you are comparing thousand dollar setups to this . Tell me where can you find bang for buck like this system right here ? Keep in mind something like this would have easily run you a couple grand years ago .
Likely you will spend twice or triple the cost of these and be mighty disappointed that the improvement in sound quality is barely perceivable. The quality of music (similar for movies) is mostly the tune, the talent of the performer, and the performance itself (musicians have good days and bad days). Some (many) movie soundtracks are just awful. The thousands you spend on equipment isn’t going to change that.
Thanks for the Info.. I just got mine but im debating if it will sounds good with 1 15sub klipsch or 2 12sub what you recommend me ? also looking for a amp or reiciver marantz or the yamaha ?
I got question I asked you on your TV stand how does your receiver have airflow to not over Heating without burning it up without Infinity fan ac
Good review. I tested both. I could not control the Onkyo's volume using my Amazon Fire TV stick's remote control, but was able to do that for the Yamaha. I was able to do that for the Yamaha V379, so maybe Yamaha is more compatible with the Fire TV stick. The Yamaha has some audio modes -- Hall in Vienna etc. that are not in the Onkyo. Also, Yamaha website claims the receiver will support 8K with a future update, did not see this for Onkyo. I chose the Yamaha.
I currently have an Onkyo tx nr656. I have a pair of Polk 100watt bookshelf front, 100w Polk center that are all at least 10 yrs old. My rears are two small klh from an old htib at least 15 yrs old. I've been looking at upgrading the avr to the Denon 760 and adding these speakers. Upon looking at my acr specs I see it is 7.1.2 one main thing that avr missing is earc. Would I be ok just buying this speaker set and using the nr656? Or should I replace that as well and get the earc and 8k? I don't game much at all so don't need much there. Mainly I watch TV thru sound syst and lots of movies. I mean a LOT. I'm looking for getting Atmos out of it that I guess mine can handle now?. My room is small. I sit 8 ft back from my 75" Sony. My rears now are mounted just above my ears ( about 3 ft). Any help is appreciated! Great videos.
Great video! I need to upgrade my old HTIB Onkyo speakers. I look at these every time I go to Costco. Although I’m debating about upping my budget and going with 8000f, 504c, 500m, 500sa, spl-120. I run a denon 3700 with an Optoma uhd50x. I use the system for movies and video games.
Thanks for watching!! For the price, these are pretty hard to beat and they should blow away any HTIB set - and I'd say they do have a decent amount of resale value if you want to upgrade down the line, though I can't verify that one way or the other. Whatever you do, remember to enjoy your system!! :)
Wait until he reviews my Vizio $200 5.1 system in my room. Lol. I got a good laugh. I like your presentation man. I just picked up a denon avr s540bt. I’ll check out the discord channel. Subscribed!
Haha thank you very much for watching!! We really appreciate it :)
Vizio 😂 might as well buy some earplugs
I've seen them in the entrance of my Costco and the box they come in is HUGE!
You are not kidding. I bought them and had to pull the box out of my truck and load onto a dolly and wheel around back. I had to pull out of the box myself as well. I had to take everything out,leaving the 2 front speakers. I pushed the 2 together and tilted the box to remove one at a time. Definitely a beast of a set. Very heavy.
@@mikeb359 so it does sound good!?
@@michaelmarquez6133 Phenomenal!
I bought a Klipsch R-820FB 400 Watt Speaker I only bought one for now. I wanna buy the other speakers soon. I got it on sale for $599.99 at London Drugs I sounds Great!
I bought this set a couple of months ago. Coming from a cheap sound bar, this set up is amazing! Are their better quality speakers out there? Sure. For the price, this system is awesome. I purchased 2 subwoofers and while the center was decent, I upgraded to the rp-450 since it was on sale on Crutchfield. I have it paired with the (finicky) Yamaha TSR-700 that I also got on sale at Costco. Haven’t had any issues with it yet and smile when I’m watching movies on my LG 86” 8750 (also Costco, lol).
Thanks for watching and we absolutely hope you enjoy the system! As you mentioned, it's all amazing what you get for the price!
I got this set with the Denon receiver from Costco and sub. It is awesome! And yes, a review of the 12 inch sub would be great!
Thanks for watching!! We're glad you enjoy the system! We're definitely considering doing a review :)
How did you connect the tower speakers to the receiver, specifically the top atmos speakers? Thanks
I own this Klipsch reference set with 2 extra R-41M Bookshelf Speakers for height instead of the ones on the towers, and 2 R-12SW Subwoofers with the Onkyo TX-NR595. Purchased everything through Costco. Everything sounds AMAZING! I am in love with my setup...for now. ;-)
Thanks for sharing!! It's genuinely amazing how much you can get for your money at Costco - I'll bet it sounds great!! Though we all get that itch to upgrade sooner or later... Welcome to Home Theater ;)
Finally get mines TMRW I've been trying to get this set for 2 years Costco around me always sold out
I got this set as well for $899, went down $100 day after and Costco gave me a price adjustment. I have an extremely small, 10x11, dedicated theater room and it sounds amazing. I replaced the center with a slightly smaller RC-42 II to fit my cabinet and put up some sound treatments to deaden the room and seemed to help tame the highs.
That's awesome that Costco would price match that for you!! Sounds like a fantastic setup - for the price these are hard to beat, and they work great as a starting point that you can modify however you'd like. Enjoy it! Thanks for watching :)
So far, this is the only review I have found on these. Good build. I recommend listening to them first. Good value, if you like the sound. These need to be paired with a 10 or 12 inch sub to add depth. These appear to be entry level speakers from Klipsch.
Hi i have this denon and I dont feel the atmos effect using Amazon firestick and Netflix.. can you help me?
Salve, le klipsch R 820 F che tipo di attacco porta dietro? Jack a banana o fili rosso e nero?? Perché io nel soggiorno ho attacchi a muro con filo rosso e nero attendo info grazie
My fav part about klipsch speakers is unboxing them and listening to them
Thanks for the review..I have this set in my garage waiting for my home theater to be done 👍...btw would like to know where you got the movie strip with the movie posters behind you.
Thanks for watching!! We really hope you enjoy the system once it's all put together. We actually made the movie strip poster ourselves (and it even doubles as an acoustic treatment panel!) - we documented the entire process here; ruclips.net/video/c70dPcHoaJs/видео.html
I just picked up the Klipsch PC speaker set up from COSTC...$59.99, can't believe the price based on the performance. Its in my office at work and I love it, everyone else may hate it, but TOO BAD !
Could you compare this system to the svs 5.1 prime system. Which would you say have an overall better sound? The SVS sb-1000 pro has my attention but I have tried to see reviews for this klipsch system but not found any helpful ones.
Great video - there’s actually a slightly newer version of the sub that matches the other speakers much better from a looks perspective. It’s the same price on Amazon. I picked it up after I bought the set from Costco
Thanks for the info & for watching!! Yep the R-12SW was recommended on the box that the system came in, but I assume it was printed before the R-120SW came out because that seems to match it perfectly. Hopefully Costco carries it in the future!! It does look MUCH better haha. 😀
@@TwoGuyzTech yep, sometimes Costco sell the R12-SW at half price. So you could buy two sub woofers if your AVR supports it, which is even more amazing value!
Absolutely!! That's a great point :)
I got this last month before they were on sale at $899. Although their 12SW sub was on sale at the time for $150 so I bought two. Now I'm running 7.2.4, I used my two older Polk front towers and moved them to the rear. I also bought a brand new Denon AVR-X6700H, this is an upgrade system since I had an older Onkyo reciever that was over 10 years old with no Dolby Atmos support.
Thanks for watching & for sharing! We hope you enjoy the system, sounds pretty amazing!
Man, we just had a blast a few days ago with Klipsch 5.1.2 and a bargain prize of just under $800!!!
I did a one stop shop for my new theater room.
Costco....
Klipsch 5.1 atmos system.
The Klipsch subwoofer X 2
The Yamaha receiver.
The LG Nanocell 91 65".
I love it, superb.
Rock on!! The great thing about Costco is that you can get your surround sound system and TV, then turn around and buy all of your groceries all in one go LOL. Enjoy the system and thank you very much for watching!! 😀
Love my Klipch !! Didn't got same speakers. I bought smaller 5.1 set up and second sub paid on $180 for it not $250 so I'm running 2 subs and got 2 Klipch tower speakers from Amazon and for atmos cheap Monoprice in-ceiling speakers.
Thank you very much for watching!! Enjoy the system!! :)
How do these sound with a Yamaha Aventage receiver?
What about using klipsch's wireless bookshelf speakers with this setup?
I got that center channel for 60 on Facebook and the bookshelf for 89 bucks at Costco .
hope u reply; i live in bahrain & there is a combo of the same set you show from klipsch with yamaha reciver & bigger bookshelf speakers; for the same price there is sony ht a9 with subwoofer also, which is better as they are the same price
Thank you! I appreciate your work!
Hey Taney, thank you so much for your support!! It really means a lot, to me and my son. It's a great feeling knowing that what we do is helpful to others :)
@@TwoGuyzTech You are welcome. Now I have to find some stands for the rear surround sound speakers. Any suggestions? How tall should they be? Most look like crap and seem too short.
Will the Marantz N1711 power these? It’s rated at 50w @ 8ohms
I have an equalizer over my Klipsch setup, i have about the same setup just the Klipsch 610 and no atmos.. But it sound twice as good with an equalizer, expessionaly the voiced!
Why is there a formaldehyde warning on the towers on costco site?
Instant like 👍. Please do a review on the matching sub. I own 2 of them, I want to know your feedback.
Thanks for watching!! We'll see what we can do, would make a pretty interesting video. We hope you enjoy them!! 😀
When I hook up speaker wire for main tower speaker and I tested the sound I just heard the sound from main speaker tower only I’m not hearing the sound from atmos speaker from the top. So do you know why? Please, help. Thanks
How do you have it hooked up on receiver? The atmos will have to connect to HEIGHT speakers. Then u calibrate the settings in receiver.
I think your assessment was fair.
I missed your assessment of the atmos front firing speakers.
We added rear atmos and rear surrounds and we find the combination of front up-firing and rear speakers on the wall pointed at the listening position to be very effective together.
When we ran only the fronts and side surrounds for a few weeks, the atmos effect was not nearly as pronounced as it is now with he addition of the rear atmos speakers.
These were never meant to be audiophile or reference level solutions.
One thing I wish you had looked at and maybe mentioned was that these R41-M surrounds also go on sale at Costco for 89.99 a pair and they sell them in pairs separately.
So, if you are like me, and want to build your first home theater on a budget, and want to try atmos, you can buy one or two additional pairs of these surrounds and put together a 5.2.4 or 7.2.2 or 7.2.4 atmos system for 999.99 for all 11 speakers.
I paired mine with two SVS PB-1000 Pro 12" Subwoofers and we are extremely pleased with this set up for movies and shows.
We were on a tight budget and have never had a home theater, the speaker prices were keeping us from affording a system and we were very close to purchasing a 1500 sound bar.
Instead of going the sound bar route, we found this speaker pack and found that within our budget we could in fact put a system together and because prices are so low, we decided to up our budget a little to make room for a full 7.2.4 system.
for 3200 we were able to build a Denon X3700h/ 2, SVS PB-1000 Pro 12" Subwoofer/Klipsch ref pack from Costco/2 additional pairs of surrounds.
If money allows in the future and we outgrow the set up, we can start with new towers and maybe step up to a reference premier level speaker, and larger center, and later on look for a book shelf replacement for the six R41-M's we have and piece together a nicer speaker set up, but at least in the meantime, we can enjoy 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos surround and DTS:X master audio for our movies, shows and games instead of living with a 3.1 or a sound bar and save up for the rest.
Because of the incredible value I think a LOT of new comers to the audio world will find this a great way to dip their toe and doing so allows you to dabble with a decent AVR and quality subs for a well rounded effective Home Theater that definitely has value.
For 1500 a person can put a full system together using this speaker pack and considering the leading atmos sound bars al start at 1500 and run as much as 3200 (Sonos dual sub set up) this IMO is a much better way to go over ANY of those sound bars, LG SN11RG, Q950T, Vizio Elevate, Nakamichi, or Sono's arc 2 sub system, these speakers paired with a decent receiver also on sale for 349.99 and a decent sub will absolutely outperform those.
Thank you very much for watching and for the in-depth analysis! It's amazing how much you get for your money with this system, and the ability to expand it is worth even more. We chose not to review the Atmos channels in too much depth for the reasons we mentioned in the video (bounce atmos isn't an ideal solution for most people) but it is nice to have the option! As you mentioned, newcomers to the audio/HT world can get into this hobby without a lot of money and feel very happy with their system, and that's what's important. 😀
Awesome setup idea Matt, unbelievable for the price. I’m purchasing the exact same thing but with the Klipsch subs. Any recommendations for a budget amp to power the 7.2.4?
Great presentation!
Thank you very much!! We really appreciate it :)
Hi very good content, Do you think it was a good choice to buy the Receiver Denon X2700H 90w for this system of speakers!? For Dolby Atmos
Should be a good match.
thanks for the video !!!
Thanks for watching!
Does Klipsch still manufacture 5.1 reference ht?
The 625FA tower speakers has top and bottom port connectors and I have a Sony DH790 receiver. Does the bottom connect to the Front L/R of the receiver and the top connect to Surround/Back/Height L/R? Also when you calibrate is the speaker pattern now 7.1 or is it 5.1? (I have a Klipsch 12" sub). I'm new at this and trying to set up on my own. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for watching! Yep you're entirely right, the bottom ports connect to the Front L/R ports on the receiver and the top ports connect to the Height L/R channels. This would be considered a 5.1.2 configuration (5 bed-level speakers, 1 subwoofer and 2 ATMOS channels). Hope this helps! :)
@@TwoGuyzTech Thanks for the quick response
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Anybody want to recommend AV receiver, speakers, sub for a 3.1 system in a 13x14 room? Thanks
GREAT VIDEO!!
Thank you so much!! We really appreciate it :)
Where can I get the media stand? I've been looking for something just like that.
Thanks for watching!! The stand we have is available here on Amazon; amzn.to/3mVqBwA
thank you for the review. witch of the Costco's budget AV Receiver do you recommend pairing them with? DENON AVR-S750H / Onkyo TX-NR595 / Yamaha RX-V6A/TSR-700 ?
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer and it strongly boils down to personal preference. We felt that the Denon had the smoothest sound out of the three, while the Yamaha has a big advantage with its higher power rating and HDMI 2.1 capabilities. We would recommend watching some reviews on all of the receivers and weighing the pros and cons depending on what you need. In our opinion, you can't go wrong with any of them so whatever is available would be your best bet 😀
Thanks for the review! How would you rate this against the SVS 5.1 prime package? The room I would put them in is a medium-large room, leaning towards the larger end (big master bedroom). I was looking at both of these systems as I'm not an audiophile, and probably couldn't tell the difference between these systems that r/hometheater shits on 24/7 (hard to get a normal person's opinion on there lol). The only thing with the klipsch I'd do is get a better subwoofer like a sb/pb1000 or something. Thoughts?
Thank you very much for the comment! The biggest advantage that the Prime Satellite 5.1 system has over this is the smaller size of the speakers (if you don't have much room) and the fact that you get an SB-1000 Pro right out of the box. Personally we think that the 5.1 Satellite system had an overall better sound as well, especially in the midrange, but that's not to say the Klipsch system is bad if you want bigger speakers to fill a bigger room. We would recommend an SVS sub over the subwoofer we used in this video as well. Hopefully r/hometheater opens up to more budget minded systems as time goes on LOL!!! But overall they're both great options. Don't be afraid to put aesthetics before sound quality either, in this price bracket its worth at least trying to get something that you feel will look better in your room. Thanks again! Hope this helps! :)
That is a fantastic deal. That setup with the R51 surrounds as opposed to the R41s runs to around 2K GBP (around 2700 USD) in the UK. That was the preferred atmos setup, and looked for a price drop for a while. I ran with the Jamo S807 system with the S8 ATM modules, which came in on sale at under 1K GBP (1300 USD) including the S810 sub, luckily all found on sale. Absolutely perfect to my untrained ears. Many people will write there are many better systems out there. Whilst my ears may agree, my wallet strongly disagrees. I’ve paired it with Marantz NR1711, which I got at launch for 550 GBP. Amazing system for 1500 all in. Perfect atmos pairing in my eyes, ears and most definitely wallet. Whilst we have Costco in the UK, they do not do those Klipsch bundles, you guys are very lucky to get those deals. Thanks for sharing.
The most important thing to consider is your situation and what you need - and it sounds like you've got that nailed down! The best system for you is the system that you like the sound of that you can buy without taking out a second mortgage. Enjoy it!! Thanks for watching :)
That's becoz the sub is an old version. The newer version has updated design which matches the other speakers.
I am surprised you didn't mention the number 1 selling point of Klipsh that sets them above all other loudspeakers...their sensitivity/efficiency. That alone sold me my first pair back in the early 90's. With a sensitivity of 104 db, even a small low powered amp can make them thunder.
Good point!! Klipsch are very efficient and we have mention this in some of our previous videos. Perfect match to any AVR that doesn't have a huge amount of power. Thanks for watching!! :)
I just found this video. I really enjoyed the review (so I subscribed). However i noticed (or missed) that you didn't cover the Atmos speakers performance at all. This is what I would really be interested in buying the system for as I live in a condo and can't put up any height speakers. Do you have any thoughts on the Atmos performance? Thanks.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate your support! Unfortunately in our scenario, we have 10 foot ceilings, and as we mentioned in the video, we don't recommend using the bounce Atmos speakers for anything over 8 feet. Because of this, it wasn't fair in our opinion to evaluate the quality of the Atmos speakers. Hope this helps.
@@TwoGuyzTech Makes perfect sense. Thanks.
I have klipsh r28f 250c center and an spl115 subwoofer and need a new receiver. I am looking at a onkyo 696 or the denon 2700. I plan on getting more speakers eventually would one of these be a good receiver? I had a onkyo 656 but it quit working.
Thanks for watching! The X2700H will be more futureproof thanks to 4K @ 120Hz support, while the TX-NR696 is lacking a little behind in that regard. Overall, the Denon costs more, and if you had a bad experience with a previous Onkyo product then it might be time to make the switch. Hope this helps!!
You cannot go wrong with klipsch speakers they are used in many theaters
Nation wide.great for movies music.
Hey love the review. I’m in the process of buying either this from Costco or a Sony Core Series speakers 5.1.2 set up. Sonys sell Dolby atmos speakers that can go on the ceiling and the sizing of the towers is much more low key which is what I appreciate. WHICH of these two set ups do you recommend for first home theater? Pricing is around the same
Hi and sorry for the late response, we have only had experience with the Klipsch system so unfortunately we cant comment on how it compares to the Sony system. Thank you for your support :)
I personally liked the Sony core series setup better over my klipsch setup. I had a 5.2.4 system with them except I didn't have the matching subs from that series. It seems like listening to music was more clearer on them.
The klipsch setup I have currently are 4 rp500m along with the matching center and I have the cdt-5650-c II for atmos. Technically the klipsch should be better but to me the clarity of the Sony's is slightly better. When you're watching movies, I don't think you'll really notice a drastic difference in sound especially when you're immersed in the movie and have sound hitting you in all directions.
Now I did test both using 2 SVS pb2000 pro subwoofers and I had the crossovers slightly high on the speakers to let my subs do most of the work.
I plan on putting together a living room setup with the sony core series speakers and two klipsch r-12sw subwoofers next week. I'll let you know how it performs then because the room your setup is in plays the biggest role in giving you good and accurate sound. Living rooms are less than ideal due to the large open spaces and seating arrangements. I'll see how the Sony's fill up the area and if they sound anemic and all over the place within that environment.
Also: I ended up buying the Sony speakers off ebay since they're cheaper used currently. They used to go for ~120 dollars normally and 73 dollars on sales every few months. Now they're being sold everywhere for 168 and the atmos modules are even more money. The atmos speakers normally were around 130 and on sales were 100 or less. Now they're 200+. I wouldn't consider the Sony speakers at those high prices even though they sound great. Either buy used, wait for the prices to go down or just get the klipsch if it's more budget friendly.
DO NOT GET THE SONY FLOOR STANDING SPEAKERS. THE BOOKSHELVES ARE VASTLY BETTER.
I really like the home theater cabinet used to put TV, Center channel speaker, and receiver. Can you please share the link where I can buy the cabinet?
Thanks for watching! Sorry for the slow response, it's the Sonax TGR-700-B Granville Mocha Black Wood Veneer TV Stand - here's a link to it on Amazon amzn.to/3mVqBwA
What crossover do you recommend for the Klipsch r 52c and r 625fa? I think the center speaker has a frequency range of 89hz to 21khz.
Cross Klipsch R52C Centre at 100hz
I've got an rp250c centre sounds really good
I got these and two r12sw subs. They sound awesome and are very immersive!!!!
Thanks for watching!! That's great to hear! Enjoy it :)
Yeah I have the same setup with 2 of the subs and they sound amazing
Ohhh you have 2? I just got one yesterday and maaaannnnn it’s awesome!
What is a good midrange home theater
Nice review. I want to offer a warning if you are not an audio system expert as is the reviewer because I noticed several comments about problems connecting the system. I had a similar problem with a 3yr old Klipsch sound bar, sub, and 2 bookshelf speakers. I never could get the bookshelfs to play or consistently connect with the Klipsch phone app. Called their "customer service" a couple times and it has to be the industry's worst! The last time I called was a Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend and the tech not only failed to get the bookshelfs to play but he also managed to mess up the sound bar and the sub! Then that cheese butt said he couldn't spend anymore time with me and hung up! If I could have reached through the phone...Anyway, I agree that Klipsch makes a decent home system for the money but if you have any problems, you have have been warned. I will never buy anything else from Klipsch no matter what the deal is.
Well these speakers need a cable, so no issue there
Due to this review I bought a set, but did upgrade the sub over what was tested in this video. They replaced a techiques 3 way speaker system from the 1990's. I had the opportunity to use a switch, I own, to go back and fourth between the new speakers vs the old. The Klipsch speakers sound much more clear compared to the old speakers which sound more "muddy". Though I'm going from 3 ways that could handle 230 watts continuous down to the Klipsch 100 Watt, I have yet to feel like they can't handle what I throw at them. The Denon system I currently have is rated for 105 watts for 2 channels, and since I always run in surround sound mode, I will never push these speakers to their max anyway. I'm not a audiophile, but I do enjoy a good experience, so for me these speakers are a win win considering they fit perfectly into my budget. *Note* I was not able to find them for 699, and had to call around to find a store that actually had a set. Considering I would have to drive to a neighboring state to get a pair, when I factored in my time, and gas, it was just as good of a deal to buy them from Cosco's website with the 10% surcharge.
Thank you very much for watching and we're very glad to hear you've had such a great experience!! For the price they're really hard to beat. Enjoy the system! :)
@@TwoGuyzTech Absolutely! Thanks for taking the time to review these as I know they aren't in the realm of what you usually review.
The subwoofer is that of the older series. The one that matches the system is the R-120SW. I very much enjoy the reference series and have a couple videos up showing off the sound... Recorded from my Note 9 lol
Thanks for sharing the videos!! We hope you enjoy the system - great value for the price :)
Came to the comments to say this. The reason it doesn't match your set is because it is an older model. I have the exact same one you have and I love it for movies.
I have a Klipsch Reference 7.2 surround sound system. Feels like your in an actual theater. Actually i think my setup is overkill for a living room speakers. I never tried putting the volume in full blast because around 50% volume is already too loud & my wife will murder me if i go higher. Lol
LOL that's good to hear!! If it does what you need it to do then it's perfect. For the price they're hard to beat. Thanks for watching :)
Hello team
Thank you so much for this review. I went and bought this setup at Costco and it rocks. I also bought the Onkyo TX NR696 receiver. However, I noticed that I would have to turn up the receiver past 70 to get decent sound and turn it up past Reference level of 82 to get great theater sound. Is that normal on these receivers or should I get a Denon avr x2600 receiver?
Thanks for watching! It depends, each and every receiver is different. So long as you're not hearing any noticeable distortion, you're all good - sometimes you just have to turn these receivers up a bit louder to get adequate volume/SPL for your space. The Klipsch speakers are pretty efficient, if it sounds good then there shouldn't be much to worry about! :)
I went from an Onkyo TX-NR757 (2015) to a Yamaha TSR-700 / RX-VA6 (2020) and the sound output was like night and day. The Yamaha was able to drive the older speakers so much better and way below reference sound levels than the Onkyo and with clarity. I still loved the Onkyo's on-screen interface more, but the difference in vibrancy was astounding.
