Klipsch Reference Cinema Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 System (Cinema System + Receiver)

Wow! Totally salified+ for the money. Now, I have an old Klipsch soundbar & Bluetooth woof I bought about 10 years ago for my TV. That still works & was well worth ~$100, but was the time in my life to upgrade, but not too expensive. I'm a former musician and a bit of a stickler for accurate sound representation. Happy with my old cheaper stuff, I ordered this system for $340.. It is awesome and accurate, full bass to crisp cymbals. Needed to combine it with a new sound system too, so I picked the Pioneer VSX-534 Home Audio w/Dolby 5.1.4 Surround at $350. So, for $790 (not $3 or $4K), this combo rocks the charts and more than salifies the ears without getting a mortgage. You need to tune it a bit top suit your ears, but from football to your favorite music, it'll more than do the job without breaking the bank.Kudos to both Klipsch and Pioneer!

I could not recommend more highly the two sound components that I purchased on Amazon for my home theater setup. The Klipsch 5.1.4 Dolby ATMOS speakers and Pioneer VSX-534 receiver perfectly harness the abundance of powerful Dolby platforms that are embedded into my new TCL 85-inch S-Class TV that I purchased at Best Buy. I paid $345 for the speakers, $330 for the receiver, and $899 for the TV. $1,574 total and it is phenomenal! (And I hung the speakers with Amazon’s VideoSecu speaker mounts for $24.99.)Pay no attention to the reviewers who don’t get enough bass from the Subwoofer. They clearly don’t have the gain knob on the back of the subwoofer adjusted for the needs. It literally shakes our viewing room (and scares the crap out of our little dachshund!). Also, although I am a fan of Yamaha, I did not get their receiver because Dolby ATMOS is not built into their technology.Installation was a breeze. At first, I followed Dolby’s guidelines of placing the front and rear speakers around 40-inches off the floor, but later moved the rear speakers to a higher position on the rear wall. The center speaker is below the TV on top of the receiver, and the subwoofer is on the floor off to the left of the TV platform . The receiver comes with a microphone to automatically set up the sound levels for surround sound. I used this feature at first, but then I figured out how to adjust each speaker level independently to fine-tune the equal distribution of audio. I use the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K to control both components, but I keep the receiver remote handy to use the shortcut buttons to adjust the dialog and subwoofer buttons.I have included pictures of the front and back of the room, and also a glimpse behind the TV (which is sitting on top of a 3-foot high IKEA shelf unit). We live in earthquake country, so I sunk a heavy-duty eyehook into a stud behind the TV and then attached two M8 stainless steel eyehooks into two of the VESA bracket holes on the back of the set and lashed it all together with stainless steel cable that I had leftover from a deck-build. (The Eopower 5Pcs Male Thread Machinery Shoulder Lifting Ring Eye Bolt was $9.99 on Amazon.)

I have owned this system for 4 months. This is my first surround sound system ever and man am I glad I resesearched this for 2 years first. This speaker set wasn't even in production when I started looking.I have a small living room area about 12' x 10'. I did not need towers. This kit comes with 4 sattelite speakers, 1 center and 1 powered subwoofer. NO these speakers are not "cheap". NO they are not budget speakers. They did not come from Walmart.I expect quality due to the Klipsch name and that is exactly what you get. These are the nicest plastic housing speakers I've ever seen in my life. There is not one knic or sharp edge on any of the platic housing and everything is built well and solid. The speakers themselves are heavier and larger than they look. The sattelite speakers are about twice the size I expected them to be.The 10" subwoofer is what really makes this system come alive. I like to feel the bass more than hear it so I turned my crossover down to about 65hz. Man.. it punches hard - Shakes my entire couch.I recommend taking the time to learn the basics of home theater setup and crossover and how distances affect listening quality. Set this system up right, and you will have a system that just makes you smile and come back for more.The Best sounding movies on this system so far:Man of Steel (omg)Thor (some addtl tweaking neccesary)Marvel's AvengersReady Player OneSo after a while I think the sub sounds better now than it did when it was new.The sound is the best when you watch movies that have either newer Dolby Atmos or DTS.More movies that sound awesome:Kong Skull IslandSpectreJohn Wick 4Lone Survivor

Thundering bass, crisp, clear treble, and Dolby 5.1 Atmos in only a few minutes of set up! Sorry I waited so long to buy it!Leave the grilles off - the copper domes are cool!
