Great speakers, great price
Was adding 4 ceiling speakers for Dolby atmos and my system was already using Klipsch speakers. You have a choice of these or the bigger 8â. I have a smaller room with low ceilings so chose these. Price was good. Easy install. Speakers are directional and can be angled. Magnetic covers are nice. Sound is very good. Using a Marantz 7055 to power them. 140 watts per channel. These are just for Dolby Atmos. If I was using them for stereo sound full time, or for music I would maybe go with the bigger 8â. I feel ceiling speakers are for very specific use. They canât be compared to a large floor standing tower speaker.

Worth the money
Incredible. I bought these to replace the cheap Pyle in ceiling speakers I bought. I had to cut the hole a tiny bit bigger, the template is about an 8in hole. But the speaker sounds amazing! The 15° tilt makes a world of difference and the tweeter in the middle also pivots so it’s about a 30° tilt on the tweeter. The previous ones I had sounded cheap and only fired downwards so sitting between them I could barely hear them now I have these pointed at the back walls and it actually sounds like surround sound again. They reach a high volume with no distortion in the base sounds great. Pricey but worth it.

If I had a need to, I’d buy these again! Hands down!
Sounds awesome! And both the main speaker and tweeter are directional. Covers are magnetic and hold firmly without rattles. I installed foam baffles on the back side to enhance the bass.

Love these speakers!
Absolutely love these speakers! Theyâre crystal clear and they pack a punch. I did a lot of research prior to this purchase because I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted. These have exceeded my expectations.

Terrific speakers: I have a 7.1 system of these speakers
These are great speakers. Crisp, rich, detailed sound. Aimable tweeter. I have a 7.1 system consisting of 7 of these and a 10″ Klipsch wireless sub. This system replaced my traditional B&W home theater system. If you are wondering how an all-ceiling home theater system sounds with these speakers, well, in a word: terrific. I am not missing my old system, and the in-ceiling setup is sleek and unobtrusive. These are high-end top-notch speakers that reflect Klipsch’s deep experience with in-ceiling speakers. As soon as you open the box, you know you are dealing with a quality product. Easy to install, virtually invisible when installed. Crisp, detailed, nuanced sound. Expensive, yes. But worth it. HIghly recommended.

Better than I gave it credit for
New review:I have to be honest, I initially hated these speakers and the “Klipsch sound” but have really come around to them and feel I was being too harsh. In my actual setup with four in my basement providing a stereo image and generally listening at a medium volume I really enjoy listening to them and they are fantastic for background music with my spotify connect + arylic streaming + fosi audio amp setup. I have tried other brands like Monitor Audio which I do like, but I’m noticing some subtle distortion with my recent Monitor Audios at higher volumes which is making me appreciate these Klipsch ones more. I still think the Klipsch sound is way too treble heavy so toggling it down on the provided treble switch is a must, but it does make for good quiet background audio that is crisp even for poorly treated spaces, so there’s some merit to it.Old review:I ordered four of these for a basement finishing project. I tested a few of them right away and felt a bit disappointed in the sound quality which was very harsh on the treble and just lacking balance and fullness. I don’t know how to describe it other than being very tinny and unsatisfying. After hanging them up they didn’t get any better. I set all the speakers to -3 treble which did help a bit, I think cheap Klipsch speakers are set to have way too high treble which people identify as “the Klipsch sound”. I also bought five of their in-wall speakers (R-5650-W’s and one R-5502-W II for the center) and they all have this same sound profile.In contrast, I bought two Monitor Audio CS160’s for another room and they were a similar price but much nicer sound and build quality.I think I’m going to replace these with another brand, possibly Monitor Audio, over time as I’m really not happy with the sound, but they work fine for now.

A good speaker
This speaker is a great buy. It seems at the same level at Klipsch pro-16rc, but at lower price.The build quality is good, sound quality is nice, and I use it as background music speaker for my bedroom.

Easy mount, quality sound
I installed a Marantz 11.2 surround system in a new home theatre. The customer went over budget on the AVR and wanted to go softer on ceiling mount speakers. The room is smaller at 12′ x13′. I was looking for the best reproduction quality for the budget. The Klipsch CDT-5650-C II was really value-priced on Prime day. So I bought 4 for the upper-tier sound.So far, so good. Nice Performance. Plays well with other speakers.
