Reference R-26FA 5.1 Home Theater Pack, Brushed Black Polymer Veneer

I listen to all kinds of music from jazz to rock to rap and neo-jazz and others whatever sounds good to me and I've given this set of speakers five years and all I can say is wow these are really good for the money now I know I could spend ten thousand dollars or more on a pair of speakers or a home theater system but I have it connected to a Marantz SR7015 and I'm running a 7.2.4 system so I have 7 bed-level speakers including the center channel two subwoofers and four at most height speakers, I added two more Klipsch to make it 7 and I really enjoy the fact that the two front at most height speakers are integrated into the floor standing speakers as well as the fact that it just has an excellent lively sound but connected to the Marantz it's warm at the same time detailed full sound stage is great and for the money, it's hard to beat - yeah I recommend them Indeed, here's to happy listening, cheers

Great sound quality.

Although it sounds crazy to write this, around $1000 for a full 5.1.2 speaker system from a quality brand like Klipsch is a pretty good deal. You should also be aware that this is not a product for a casual to install themselves, as it requires you to cut, strip, & run your own cables. I would also suggest banana plugs for your wires, but they are not strictly speaking required (makes the setup much cleaner though). I went with a Yamaha RX-V6A for a receiver and used specifically only pure copper 14 gauge cables — which are superior to “copper clad” aluminum wires in every way (including price). All in, my setup cost around $2000. This speaker setup is wonderful after YPAO calibration. Music sounds fantastic through them, movies are great as well. Later edit: the speakers get better as you break them in more. I continually remark to my fiancée that how much I love our new sound system. I’ve even noticed I can turn off closed captioning that had been required before because dialogue has become so hard to understand in the last decade or so.

Obviously there are better speakers out there, but the cost of this bundle vs. the others is incredible. I feel like my receiver choice may be hindering them a bit (Denon S760H). They took a lot of tweaking and still seems a little quite and require a relatively high volume number to get a volume level I want even in my small living room. Regardless, these speakers sound great and are an awesome addition to my home set-up. I highly doubt you would be disappointed with this purchase. Just be sure to get a powerful enough receiver and research what would be best for your room size, these speakers will become weaker and weaker sounding the larger your room and you may need to look at larger/pricier options. If you live in an apartment and want to anger your neighbors...this sub can easily do the trick haha.

Best money I ever spent.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. The speaker system sounds great after proper installation and Audyssey Multeq XT32 room calibration. Seemingly well made speakers in a kit for a great price! I bought this kit because the Klipsch R-26FA has a front-firing reflex port instead of rear reflex ports. I can place the back of these speakers right against the wall if I need more space. I've upgraded from Klipsch RSX-4/RCX-4 bookshelf type speakers with a venerable Klipsch RSW-15 sub. I've retired the RSX/RCX speakers and now use the RSW-15 with the R-12SW in this kit. The R-14M (in this kit as surround speakers) didn't get the best reviews but do well as surround speakers with Such easy midrange compensation turned on (turned off for the other speakers). I position them above head height and so the sound is off-axis (one very detailed review indicated that was how they sound best). They sound good to me. Note: Audyssey room calibration is necessary for great sound. I'm still learning to use Audyssey but I'm already enjoying these speakers. I use Audyssey set to "Flat" because I don't like the effect of the "Reference" setting. The high frequencies don't sound at all harsh in my room. The Dolby Atmos speakers are a plus that I'll explore - although I understand that Dolby Atmos really needs 4 speakers to work properly. I look fwd to many years of delightful sound from music & movies! Update Sept. 2024: The system still sounds great. I used the Audyssey phone app to: - remove the "midrange correction" for all speakers except the R-14Ms, which needed it, based on info online, and - select the reference curve with the later high frequency roll-off, just in case I need to use the "Reference" Audyssey setting instead of "Flat". I now use "Reference" on my my phono input. I'm really enjoying all music (stereo) & home theatre sound (surround)! Update Sept. 2025: The speakers seem to have burned in so I now use the "L&R Bypass" setting in Audyssey. After carefully fine tuning the subwoofer volume dials the speakers sound really good. Subwoofers upper freq. limits set to 80Hz. Centre, Surround, & Atmos speakers lower limits now set to 100 Hz, 90Hz, & 100 Hz respectively. Front speakers point straight ahead (0°), not toed in. This results in a wider sound stage and eliminates any tendency towards harshness from the tweeters.

I lost all of my stereo equipment to a fire that destroyed my home, so when it came time to begin replacing my sound system I decided I would go with a Klipsch home theater system. I'm really glad that I did, because it sounds great and has become the centerpiece of my home recording studio.

Love the system. Box came damaged from UPS driver, he drop two speakers on my driveway and I saw it on my home security cam. But there was no damage to the speakers because of how well Klipsch packed the boxes. The sound is unbelievable, paired it with a new Pioneer Elite VSX-LX304 9.2-ch Network AV Receiver. Klipsch says the speaker set is a 5.1 but it is not, it's a 5.1.2. The last two are the speakers on the top of the front right and left, they are the Dolby Atmos Speakers. The system is so crisp and clear it makes you feel as if you are in a high end movie theater. I would recommend this set up to anyone. The total cost was just under $2000.00. You will need to also buy 14 AWG gauge speaker wire for the set up. This set up is so loud, it will piss off your neighbors. LOL

Excelente calidad de equipo y servicio de 10

I ordered the complete Klipsch 5.2 setup (R-26FA towers, R-52C center, R-41M surrounds, and dual R-12SW subwoofers). The build quality is excellent and the speakers look very elegant, but I was expecting better sound quality at this price point. Overall, the system still delivers a true cinematic experience at home. However, the Atmos effect from the R-26FA up-firing speakers is not as impressive as expected — I would recommend going for ceiling-mounted height speakers instead of relying on up-firing drivers. The seller experience was extremely disappointing. The listing clearly mentioned an R-12SWi wireless subwoofer, but they delivered the regular R-12SW wired version. When I complained, the seller never responded properly. I kept receiving the same automatic template reply with no real assistance. Even the box arrived broken and wet in a few places, although thankfully the product inside was clean and undamaged. Product: 3.5 / 5 Seller: 1 / 5
