Review: Used for 5.1 surround. Sound great! - My home was pre wired for a 5.1 system. I decided to go with these over the 5800 series to save a few bucks. They sound terrific. Even using one as a center channel speaker in the ceiling didn't seem to impact my listening experience like I was worried about. You can aim the woofer and tweeter independent of each other which really helped. You'll probably get a better listening experience with tower speakers and a dedicated center channel speaker but the upgrade from a Samsung sound bar to 5 of these hooked up to an Onkyo 6050 receiver is outstanding! Music listening is great as well. Watching movies is my favorite thing to do now!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can we install this on ceiling?**
A: These are to be installed in ceiling or in the wall.

**Q: what color is this? white or black?**
A: The speaker is black. The cover screen is white which can be painted any color.

**Q: If these were added to a Klipsch 5.1 set up, with 7.2 ready receiver would it be Atmos capable?**
A: ATMOS is totally reliant upon your a/v receiver being ATMOS capable.  Whatever speakers you use is irrelevant.  The placement is what is important.

**Q: Can these speakers be set to reproduce sounds on THX mode?**
A: Of course not.
THX is not a "mode" THX is a certification. This speakers are not THX certified and even if they where, to achieve THX you have to have your entire equipment such as speakers, power amps, subwoofers and even your cables (all your cables) THX certified. So, as you can see it is not easy to get authentic THX, BUUUT in reality you dont have to, you can get the same or much better sound quality without THX devices.
If you really want to enjoy THX you can do what i do, go to a certified theater :)
