will constantly fail audio control through hdmi cec. I have to do a whole "turn off the tv and wait 1 minute and turn it back on" song and dance. don't know how to resolve it, the speakers are updated to the latest firmware.
other than that, they are fantastic. paired them with a RSL speedwoofer 10e, and although these really can be sufficient without a subwoofer, a good sub really brings everything to life.
settled on these after being utterly disappointed with the sonos ARC. joke of a product, you NEED a sub with those. not to mention that the klipsch's physical separation does more for the audio than software separation.
the fives with the speedwoofer 10e cost less than the sonos arc by itself. think about that. when sonos goes under, the ARC will probably stop working. my klipsch speakers will always remain speakers.

The job of a speaker is to reproduce sound accurately. The 5s and 7s do so poorly, with the messed up frequency response so common to Klipsch. The 9s aren't big. They're just bookshelves. If you want to put 5s on your tiny desk, go ahead, but for 400 bucks, you can do better. Klipsch go on sale now and then, so I paid 750 for the nines, which are much more than twice as good as the 5s, with deeper bass and more power too.
Better speakers also create wider areas with even frequency response, which makes them sound better in almost every room.
Also, these Klipsch come with their own wires, straight from the manufacturer. One is plugged in and the other pulls it's power from its mate.
These look nice and the update process was dumb. You have to use a usb flash drive and then connect your phone using a separate updater app

Or better yet, a pair of JBL 308P, though those above are smaller if not as good.
Care about all the lifetime features? Then I'd probably get a HomePod.
There are many options circa $400. Klipsch has a lot of features for the buck, but they've always been the bargain brand. Only rarely do they have quality too.
If connected via Optical can I control the volume through the TV or will I have to use their remote (want to minimize remotes)
Optical only carries audio signals (it's not like ARC).. However, I just turn the speaker itself all the way up, and then use the source to control the volume. Works well.
