These things are impressive!
So, I'm not an audiophile, so maybe I'm just easily impressed. I'm not going through the trouble of ceiling speakers for Atmos, as the home I'm in is nooot my forever home, but the price was great and wanted to see how the Atmos stuff works.
Paired with a Denon AVR S-760H. I set aside money from my tax return to upgrade from a 10+ year old Panasonic HTIB.
Now I know the dimensions and weight are very well detailed in the speaker description, but when the were delivered, I felt like they were massive (in a great way). The old HTIB has plasticy, thin, light, "towers". And I've seen similar sized speakers by Klipsch at big box electronic stores. I dunno, seeing them in my house though, I just kept telling my son, "These are absolute UNITS!" LOL.
Sturdy. Solid. Despite the men who wear brown who handled the delivery and the boxes a bit dinged, they were in perfect shape. Klipsch packaged them securely.
They sound great. I thought the Monoprice 5.1.2 speaker system I initially bought, was a huge improvement over the old Pannys. These Klipsches were levels above that.
Queued up some Rush to play (RIP Neil Peart) and heard things I never heard before. Found some Atmos encoded nature stuff on Netflix. While the built in Atmos top firing speakers will be poo-pooed by die hards, they make a difference. Sitting with son and daughter on the couch, a bird very clearly flew noticably over our heads from front left speaker to right rear. We looked at each other, "Did you hear that? It was above us." Very cool, very cool. Very nice, very nice. (Bonus points if ya get the Letterkenny reference).
Yes, these are a generation behind the current Klipsch Atmos enabled offerings, but yeah, I didn't wanna spend that money, especially when I doubt I'd notice a difference. Adorama seems to be the only ones left with these in stock. I'd say they are a great deal. I suspect when they are gone, they'll be gone for good.
Easy five stars for me for quality of build, quality of sound, and price. I'm glad my AVR doesn't support 5.1.4, or I'd go totally obnoxious and buy a set for the rears.
For me, this is a can't miss buy if you are upgrading to a "real" audio system for the first time and don't wanna spend tons of money.
Hope this review helps with your new speaker purchase decision making.
Take care. :)

Just Awesome
Great quality speakers, bright brassy mids and precision treble. Atmos speaker really gives full room sound. I can push these to max volume on my Denon processor and they sound like they want more! Love em.
