Klipsch RP-240D Black Home Speaker Matte Black

Due to the layout of my entertainment room, I was looking to add front presence speakers to my setup to make it 5.1.2. The rest of my speakers are Klipsch, so that's were I started looking. I really liked the slim profile of the RP-240D, as well as the flexibility to mount it horizontally. Since my walls are already finished and insulated, I opted to run the speaker wire through raceways instead of doing surgery on the drywall. The horizontal positioning of the speakers not only helped getting the immersive sound I was looking for, but also made it a short, straight shot to run the wire / raceway behind the upper TV (see photo). Installation was straightforward - there are only two wall-mounted screws for each speaker. Based on the positioning on my walls, I did not have any studs exactly in the screw locations so I used #10 screws (per the speaker instructions) and pretty substantial wall anchors. Also, I created my own actual-size template based on the schematic you can download from Klipsch (one suggestion for improvement would be for them to supply an actual-size template). I used my two templates to get the position of the speakers how I wanted relative to the TVs and the movie posters. Then I marked where to drill. Once the wall anchors & screws were in place, I connected the speaker wire and routed it behind the upper TV and down the vertical center raceway (not really visible in the photo) down to my Yamaha RX-A880 receiver. Once everything was connected I connected the Yamaha YPAO mic and ran the automatic sound calibration utility using several listening positions. With everything working properly I installed the horizontal cable raceways to hide the speaker wire running from the speakers to behind the upper TV. I am happy to say that I am VERY PLEASED with the overall sound quality of these speakers, and the overall effect of having presence speakers in my system. It has created a much more immersive quality to movies, and "wall of sound" effect to music when I choose to use 7-channel stereo (vs. 2-channel). I would highly recommend these speakers because they sound great, look great, easy to install, and have multiple installation options (in addition to wall-mount vertical or horizontal, they also come with stands if you want to put them on a shelf. I didn't use my stands).

I don’t have much space for traditional theater speakers, so I was thrilled that Klipsch offers sleek, wall-mountable options that still deliver big sound. I went with the RP-240D as my center speaker and paired it with the RP-140D speakers for the left, right, and surround channels, along with a Klipsch 12” subwoofer. The result is a full, immersive sound experience that works great for movies and music.

Bought these as a replacements for my old Onkyo 7.1 system. Space being an issue, I needed something that not only sounded great, but had to have a much smaller footprint for my cramped living room space. These now operate as my left and right speakers for my home theater For a more thorough review go to: Klipsch RP-640D Black Surround Home Speaker Matte Black , this is what I decided upon for my center speaker. You won't be disappointed with your purchase.

The right price on a great product, promptly shipped in superb packaging, and including everything I expected. I haven’t had a question about anything, but I’m confident Audio Advice will be there if I do. I highly recommend purchasing from them and I’m glad they are on Amazon.

I picked this up as the center speaker for my PC setup. Impressed with the sound clarity and power. I was surprised how much bigger the speaker is than depicted. But it's still much more compact and slim than a traditional Klipsch speaker.

I've had this for about a month, and it's...OK. It sounds pretty good. There's definitely a size/quality compromise. It doesn't sound anywhere as nice as half-decent tower speakers or even bookshelf speakers. However, it sticks out just a couple inches from the wall and it looks pretty nice. And of course it sounds much better than a TV's speakers. I have a couple of these paired to a subwoofer, I intend to add one more and some smaller speakers to make a 5.1 system. I'll try to update this review later on if/when the speakers ever "break in" to become something much better, the way a couple of reviews say. Edit: After half a year of pretty heavy use, these are still thoroughly "OK." There wasn't any great improvement from break-in.

Compared to my 15-year-old BA towers, these have a really crisp sound; I can actually hear individual instruments and notes I could not detect before. Paired with RP-140D left/right speakers and the Monoprice slim sub (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R6Y66QZ) makes for a flush-to-wall AV experience that sounds great. They are pricey, but it is hard to find slim-profile speakers.
