I bought these for about $350 about 6 months back and I don't regret they are great value for the money. These have been so heavily discounted because the subwoofer has a flaw. The wireless module on these subs is problematic. When I connected the sub with a cable to my receiver there would always be a very faint burping noise and when I place my fingers on the woofer cone I could feel the random ticks. Upon researching I found out that there could be WiFi/2.4GHz interference causing the problem. This would not let the sub auto shutoff which was not good for me. How ever when connected using the wireless module it was less noisy. I just decided to fix it by disconnecting the wireless module on board in the back of the sub rather than returning it because there's no way you are going to get this good of a 5.1 system for that price. Just unscrew the board and pop the wireless module out. it looks just like the laptop wifi modules. you could also just remove the antenna cable on the module I believe. I just hope many folks here would read this and avoid the frustration. Klipsch should have just removed this module and sold it without the wireless marketing crap. Any way that's good for us customers.

Yes, something needs to decode and convert the digital audio to analog and amplify them to drive the speakers. i.e. a receiver.

This is extremely incorrect. A center channel carries the vast majority of dialog in a movie, so it's actually the most important speaker when it comes to a home theater setup.

New to the home theater game... Are these wireless? I see that the subwoofer is. I need a speaker system that can connect to a receiver wirelessly if that exists
Nope. Wired speakers and wireless subwoofer

My current set up is this:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/pr...A514&smp=y

Except I upgraded the sub to a 12" Klipsch R12.

Does anyone know how much better, and if it's worth it to replace these Yamaha speakers with these? The Yamaha are plastic and i feel like they distort at high volume

Thanks
I have the same system and am wondering the same question. I would like better sound but would hate to buy these speakers only to find out it was only marginally better.

You can install it in roof if you have the right mount to do so. I installed mine on the wall for atmos speaker. The unit has a threaded mounting port that allows you to secure the speaker solidly at the back.

If I want to connect these to my Samsung LCD TV, do I still need an AVR or can I directly connect them to the TV?

How do the satellites compare to Energy Take 5 Classic satellites? I have Klipsch RF 82 II fronts and RC62 II center but Energy surrounds for a 7.1 setup- would these satellites be better for my set up? I could use the sub for my computer monitors.

And the center, I'd just sell that.
Keep the Energy Take 5. I have them and for the price I still haven't found anything to beat them including the sub. The center channel however can be upgraded.

You'd be better off upgrading individual components of your system instead of just buying another speaker set

Unfortunately no one can tell you if it would be "better" to you, we all define it differently.

If it is better the difference will most likely be incremental at best.

The great thing here is Costco has a generous return policy so to truly find out you can try it and if it isn't you can easily return it.

What's the reason for wired setup for subwoofer? Is there an improvement in bass/sound quality in wired setup over wireless setup. I went with wireless, as I didn't have cable setup for subwoofer and don't see any issues. If there's significant improvement in quality in wired setup, I will consider going for that.
