Klipsch RP-440D-SB Surround Home 🔊 Speaker in Sleek Matte Black Finish Review

Before I stopped, I compared the rp-25 to a full-size Martin-Logan bookshelf. The sound profile is more to my liking with this panel and a decent subwoofer. Also looks great on the wall.

The soundbar is very good in terms of clarity and overall volume. Coming from a real wall mounted surround system, I wish it could better identify left and right sounds. It feels like they get lost in the center channel, but I understand the limitations in terms of tape length and shifting the sound further left or right.

We've added this to our entertainment system. My special friend wanted a soundbar and I wanted to use our existing stereo. The choice of passive soundbars is very limited, but we both like Klipsch, so we clicked on that. Sounds pretty good, although the stereo separation isn't great, but that's to be expected from any soundbar. The electronics in stereo help compensate for this. Apart from the stereo separation, the sound quality is very good and fully meets our requirements.

The Klipsch soundbar works as described but the buyer should be careful. When wall mounting the product, the two tabs on the bracket are VERY weak. Two of the users tried to attach the speaker to the protrusions provided, one fell off immediately. Had to delete another one that was also "free". Be prepared if they come loose or loosen. Also pay attention to the diameter of the speaker cable. The molded channels provided (inside the speaker) are NOT deep making routing through the bracket holes…
