Klipsch Reference Next-Gen R-40SA Dolby Atmos Elevation Surround Speakers (Pair)

I first purchased refurbished Sony SS-CSE Atmos speakers for half of what these Klipsch cost from another seller on Amazon. They arrived in their original packaging and were in “Like New” condition. They sounded pretty good. However, both speakers died after about a week which is not normal. Luckily the seller granted me a refund. I then bought these Klipsch Atmos speakers and I must say they sound better than the Sony’s. These have a horn tweeter and the Sony’s only had a single driver with no tweeter. I can definitely hear the difference having the horn tweeter. These speakers sound more dynamic. Currently, I have placed them on my front towers and they sound really good. I think eventually I will mount them on the front wall near the ceiling as I hear that is a better place to get the full Atmos effect. They sound great with 4K discs that have an Atmos soundtrack. However, don’t expect miracles when playing standard non Atmos content. There is not much sound that comes out of the speakers. But overall, I bought these specifically for playing 4K discs with Dolby Atmos soundtracks. So, they are serving their purpose.
