Our verdict

A complete passive Klipsch speaker package with Atmos towers and twin subwoofers for a dedicated movie room. It needs a separate Atmos capable AV receiver to drive it.

Overview

Klipsch bundles a full Reference home theater here: Atmos towers with up-firing drivers, a center, two surrounds and twin powered subwoofers. Horn loaded tweeters give the high efficiency and punch the brand is known for.

Two subwoofers smooth bass across the room, and the up-firing towers add height effects without ceiling speakers. Every speaker is passive except the subs, so an Atmos receiver is a required extra.

Who it's for

Movie fans fitting out a living room or media room who already own, or plan to buy, a multichannel AV receiver. Small apartments may find two subwoofers and floor towers too much.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Complete matched speaker package
  • Atmos height without ceiling speakers
  • Two subwoofers for even bass
  • Horn tweeters for high efficiency
Cons
  • AV receiver not included
  • Large footprint for small rooms
  • Up-firing effect depends on ceiling height

Performance notes

Horn loaded tweeters convert amplifier power into volume efficiently, so a mid sized receiver can drive the system loudly. Up-firing elevation drivers bounce sound off a flat ceiling, and their effect weakens with high or angled ceilings. Two subwoofers placed apart even out bass peaks and nulls in the room.
