A little flat

Crutchfield customer from TACOMA, WA on 6/3/2024

Verified customer

I was looking for a solution to replacing my mid 90's Klipsch speakers. My wife does not share my passion for good audio, and REALLY does not like floor speakers. I purchased the Denon AVR-S670H to pair with these and was very disappointed in both. I packed up the receiver to return, but with holes cut in my wall for these speakers I figured I'd try my old Yamaha RX-V995 (also from the 90's) before giving up on them. I am glad I did! The bass was much better. Solid, not booming. Don't get me wrong, the old Klipsch speakers ran circles around these, but these are in wall speakers. The midrange is kind of flat and a little forward in the vocals and the highs are lacking, but as an overall in wall speaker goes, they will do. I am going to get a small sub, with my wife's blessing, to fill in the bottom end. These have tough shoes to fill as they will be used for the front left and right for home theater duty and in stereo with our record player.

Pros: Super easy, slick install. Seems well built.

Cons: Could be more well rounded, midrange seems good, but the upper and lower ends not so much

Audition speakers before you buy

SpeakerCompare simulates the sound of home and car speakers through your headphones. It lets you compare sonic characteristics between speakers so that you can make a more informed shopping decision.

Why selecting your headphones is important

SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person. Knowing which model headphones you’re using lets us remove any sonic coloring from your experience.

Two different listening modes

In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers.

In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same. This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers.

Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space

SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We still believe that the gold standard for auditioning speakers is hearing them in your own environment — that’s why we offer a 60-day money-back guarantee.

Our Listening Kit

To help you choose the right speakers, we recommend using Crutchfield’s SpeakerCompare Listening Kit. It includes a pair of studio-quality headphones, and a guide to getting the most out of your session, and a few other necessary items. We’ve carefully chosen the components of this kit to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience. It’s available for a nominal rental fee, and includes a $25 Crutchfield merchandise credit.
