Klipsch Reference Premiere Rp-240D Onwall/On Table Type Front Main And Surround Use Speakers - Black, Wired

Sounds great as a center with rp-140d's as front right and left. Was a little expensive but decided to go for it. Gibby's has an excellent selection of electronics at reasonable prices. Keep your eye on their website as they have great sales from time to time. I have bought from Gibby's before and will buy from them again.

A beauty that doesn't take valuable space. Sound is not as great as the bigger siblings, still very enjoyable

Due to the layout of my entertainment room, I was looking to add front presence speakers to my setup to make it 5.1.2. The rest of my speakers are Klipsch, so that's were I started looking.I really liked the slim profile of the RP-240D, as well as the flexibility to mount it horizontally. Since my walls are already finished and insulated, I opted to run the speaker wire through raceways instead of doing surgery on the drywall. The horizontal positioning of the speakers not only helped getting the immersive sound I was looking for, but also made it a short, straight shot to run the wire / raceway behind the upper TV (see photo).Installation was straightforward - there are only two wall-mounted screws for each speaker. Based on the positioning on my walls, I did not have any studs exactly in the screw locations so I used #10 screws (per the speaker instructions) and pretty substantial wall anchors. Also, I created my own actual-size template based on the schematic you can download from Klipsch (one suggestion for improvement would be for them to supply an actual-size template). I used my two templates to get the position of the speakers how I wanted relative to the TVs and the movie posters. Then I marked where to drill. Once the wall anchors & screws were in place, I connected the speaker wire and routed it behind the upper TV and down the vertical center raceway (not really visible in the photo) down to my Yamaha RX-A880 receiver.Once everything was connected I connected the Yamaha YPAO mic and ran the automatic sound calibration utility using several listening positions. With everything working properly I installed the horizontal cable raceways to hide the speaker wire running from the speakers to behind the upper TV.I am happy to say that I am VERY PLEASED with the overall sound quality of these speakers, and the overall effect of having presence speakers in my system. It has created a much more immersive quality to movies, and "wall of sound" effect to music when I choose to use 7-channel stereo (vs. 2-channel).I would highly recommend these speakers because they sound great, look great, easy to install, and have multiple installation options (in addition to wall-mount vertical or horizontal, they also come with stands if you want to put them on a shelf. I didn't use my stands).

Espetacular!

We purchased these speakers for our rear surround speakers, as we needed a slim wall mounted speaker in this location. Sounds is clear, and impressive considering the depth of speaker. You will need a subwoofer with these speakers, as the lower frequencies are lacking (which is to be expected with a small speaker). Wall mounting was easy. I know that some people have criticized Klipsch for not including a template for wall mounting. I can only attribute that complaint to laziness, as all you need is a measuring tape (or ruler) ands level to get this lined up perfectly. My biggest complaint is price. I recognize that there are not many slim speakers out there, but the premium that you pay over some bookshelf speakers is nuts. If you have the room, a set of bookshelf speakers is a better choice. I did not, so I was stuck paying a higher price. At the time of review the price is now $100 higher per speaker than it was when I purchased.
