Review: Good in-ceiling speakers - For what these are they do a good job. I have had these since 2021. At the time was paired with all Klipsch speakers. I use thes for 4 atmos speakers and 2 rear surround powered with emotiva xpa 9. Atmos on stereo modules, and rear on main modules. For atmos these work great providing atmos front and rear. For rear surround they do a good job, but nothing like my other surround speakers. This isn’t the fault of the speakers, but room design doesn’t allow towers for rear. The directional ability is great and install was easy, since I had someone do it. I would recommend them for entry to medium level systems. Like anything else when you get a good system you start upgrading. Audio can get expensive.
Review: Great for music but get a subwoofer - The sound is great and clear for in ceiling speakers but I highly recommend complimenting this with a subwoofer and high amp amp. Overall I’m happy with the price as it’s just music we are playing in the basement on these. Also easy install and stencil included.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Did anyone order these speakers for $250.00? They are a lot more from an authorized dealer want to make sure they are legit! Thanks**
A: AMAZON IS an authorized seller of Kliish!

People need to to understand the difference between buying off amazon and buying  from Amazon as the actual seller. Even if these cost 10 dollars as long as Amazon is the seller and not a third party then these are covered under warranty!

So just make sure the day you buy them that AMAZON is the seller and you dont mess up and buy when the seller is actually someone else and Amazon is just shipping them out.

**Q: Does it include mounting hardware?**
A: If the drywall is up=everything you need is included. If its new construction you can purchase optional install kits to pre-install in the studs.

**Q: Anyone compared these side-by-side to the Klipsch slightly smaller (& cheaper) 5850's??**
A: 5650 can not handle the same amount of power and can not play the bass frequencies that the 5800 does

**Q: Would you recommend using a cover for ceiling speakers in a vaulted ceiling with blown insulation ?**
A: yes me 800c....
