A truly remarkable advance

Replaces an existing old Klipsch speaker. A truly remarkable step forward. The intelligibility of the spoken word is excellent.

Pros
  • Will not fit many
Cons
  • reliably

Excellent speaker. - Ceiling and wall speakers

I like this speaker. It can be combined with six wall-mounted Bose 891 loudspeakers and makes an excellent center speaker. I read many reviews before deciding on this speaker and the time I spent researching was well spent.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not everything fits

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sounds good. Really clear. Very loud.

When you're pushing it with an Onkyo TX-RZ820 at 130 watts per channel, these speakers' 92dB signal-to-noise ratio helps. This is in a theater with 2 x R3800W - 4 x R3650W - and the center channel is the R5502W.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Was damaged

Superior quality for home audio

Revain has offered these speakers at a better price. I bought these speakers and paired them with a Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-400C for the center, a Klipsch Reference Premiere SPL-120 for a subwoofer, a Klipsch WA-2 for a wireless subwoofer, and two Klipsch R-1800-Cs. I do not regret it. Amazing sound.

Pros
  • Rugged construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Cons
  • Expensive

Incredible sound

These speakers have a full range with rich bass and clear treble. They were a little tricky to install as I already had the cable boxes attached to the studs. To install them properly, they really need to be a little farther from the studs or the little "hooks" won't hold the wall effectively. So I had to do a little more than just cut the hole, I had to fill drywall where the existing holes were against the studs. But they hold up very well, they don't wobble, they're very solid and for my…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • AC outlet required

Crackling at high volume and fast scenes is now fixed

I am using a Yamaha AV Receiver purchased from Costco which is rated as a very good budget system. I use a speaker cable purchased from Revain which I found to be quite good. Revine recommended it. I hear popping noises when the volume is turned up a lot for movies and music. Everything I've read says this indicates a misconfiguration. I'm waiting for a better quality speaker cable to see if that fixes the problem. I'll update this review after I fix the cables and review all setup options…

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
