KlipschReference R-26FA Floorstanding Speaker, Black, Pair

My first pair of “big boy” speakers and I am more than satisfied. Setting the speakers up was so easy and the sound quality is unmatched. Pairing them with my 12in Sub is a dream come true. I am currently running 100 watts per channel and they are performing great. I will get a stronger amp at some point but for the room size it’s more than enough. The speakers have a bit of weight to them but I think it gives them that quality feel. The design is so sleek, the highs are high, beautiful mid scoop and nice low bass paired with the sub. Don’t hesitate to to pull the trigger on these bad boys because they are worth every penny for the quality sound you get. End of discussion!

Good speaker !Good price !

Great speakers unfortunately they came in damaged.

Klipsch makes the BEST speakers there is, and you cant go wrong with these for your home theater system. Speaker on the top and on the sides...very amazing. Highly recommended. Have their soundbars, surround speakers, shelf speakers and never a disappointment with these.

These speakers sat in my cart for over a year. I finally pulled the trigger on them and am so glad I did! Our surround set up was already pretty decent but the addition of these really put it over the top. Of course, you need to pair them with a good receiver, but if you do, the sound is unparalleled, especially with Blu-rays. You can hear every detail that's put into the movie.

Many years ago, I had large Infinity front speakers, but they eventually failed and since then my replacement speakers have always been small due to the small places I lived in. I eventually moved into a small house, but with a big open living room. For reasons that escape me, I never upgraded my speakers. The system sounded fine, but after my front speakers blew, I replaced them with Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speakers. Quite an improvement, and made me a Klipsch fan. Then my 20-year-old HK receiver died and I replaced it with a Yamaha 7850. That brought the sound quality that much higher. (The HK was great but 20 years of technology really makes a difference.) With those two upgrades, it made me think: I have the room now so why not get full size speakers up front? I can use the 41Ms to replace the aging rear speakers and get floor standing up front. Also, this new receiver was Dolby ATMOS compatible, and wanted to utilize it as I love the home theater experience. I searched for Klipsch (I like to match speaker brands for esthetic and sound quality reasons) floor standing speakers and quickly found these Klipsch R-26FA on Amazon. I was unaware you could get these with built in ATMOS so that was a nice surprise. The R-26FA are the same as the R-26Fs but with the addition of the ATMOS top mounted speakers, also called Front Presence. They are angled so to bounce sound off the ceiling and provide ambient sound all over the listening area. (ATMOS= Atmosphere) You can also buy the ATMOS speakers separately, if you wish to add them to an existing system. The 2 speakers are about 100 lbs. so getting them on Prime was nice as I am sure shipping would be pricey. Set up is easy for one person, but with two it would be easier due to the weight. There are 3 binding post pairs for hook up. 1 for the ATMOS speaker and 2 more for the standard front firing speakers (One tweeter and two woofers). The lower 2 are bridged so you can hook them up to the receiver the same as a ‘normal’ front speaker. The two binding posts are there so you can bi-amp them (Power with 2 amps) if desired. You can also bi-wire them (Wire both post sets to the same terminals on the receiver), but I don’t see much use in that. I am currently using the included bridge and it sounds fine to me. Some have said to remove the bridge and use wires to bridge them, but I have yet to test that. Speaker covers are included and give the speaker a nice stealthy look. If you leave them off, the gold woofers and tweeter with signature Klipsch horn look great. You can decide which look is better. Once hooked up, I had to do some balancing to get the sound the way I wanted it, but in the end it sounds amazing. Klipsch smartly put the tweeters on top so they are ear level when sitting down. The woofers provide plenty of bass, but my subwoofer handles that nicely with or without help. The ATMOS speakers work as well, but it is not something that you will always notice. As I have a vaulted ceiling, I bumped the ATMOS sound up a bit to increase the affect. They produce sound most of the time, mainly channeling echo and background noise. Some games and movies are specifically made for ATMOS and do sound amazing. Its with those sources that you will hear sounds go directly to the top speakers, like a helicopter flying ‘over’ your living room. I use my XBOX as my main source and it works fine, but I did have to install a Dolby app to utilize ATMOS. Over all I am VERY happy with the new speakers and its so nice to have full sound in my living room again. I use my system a lot more now, and not just for movies. I love listening to music while I clean or study. Though there is a newer version of this speaker available from Klipsch, the R-26FAs were exactly what I needed and significantly lower in price than the current model. I highly recommend these for purchase.

I purchased these to finish my 7.1 setup. Absolutely love Klipsch speakers. The sound is amazing, using a Yamaha receiver to push them. I would definitely recommend these to anyone looking to upgrade their system.

Great sounding Speaker, love them!!!
