edit: Nvm, I see the answer:
ON-WALL OPTIONS
The Klipsch RP-500SA II Surround Speakers can also be utilized as an on-wall elevation or surround speaker via its easy-to-use keyhole mounting system - delivering the perfect angle for enhanced sound effects.

I would be using them as wall-mounted height channels in a 5.1.2 system. The rest of the system is all Infinity Reference series, and I've always heard that Klipsch can be a bit brighter than other more neutral speakers, but I'm not sure how important it really is to timbre match height channels.

With the SVS Ultra Surround bipole (just found out it's OOS), only one pair would be needed running in Duet mode for 7.x but they'd need to be flush with the wall or else the surround channels will be firing at weird angles. Not ideal at such a height.

It starts with the foundational core/base layer 5.1 ones.
I would suggest using the 500 or 600 as surrounds.
Going to 7.1 you need to have the space for it to be worthwhile imo.
Here is the recommendation for it.

Looking specifically at angled speakers intended for wall-mounted height channels, there are not a lot of options below the $300 price point--basically you have Polk OWM3 or JBL Stage 240H. What else am I missing, if I want something low profile, and not a bookshelf speaker on an angled mount?

He really like the way my Klipsch Heritage Theater sounds (Chorus II, Forte II and Academy Center) but he doesn't have the budget yet. My Theater is 5.2.4 with bass shakers in the seats. I also demoed my Reference Premier living room, which is impressive, but slightly less so than then Heritage speakers. It's a 5.2.2 Reference Premier system.
When we started adding up the RP setup I could tell he was thinking about more entry level budget, so we will see how the Dayton sounds. I told him that eventually he could upgrade the speakers and likely reclaim a good amount if he sells the Daytons.
I think that Dirac Live will benefit his room and I bet we can get his setup calibrated nicely.

if you care about sound quality you would avoid Klipsch in 99% of cases.
here is a good read for those interested in Klipsch
