I will say, it seems like good deals on high quality home theater equipment are becoming more and more rare.

Or, the RP-500M II and RP-600M II bookshelf speakers frequently go on sale for $300-$350, and sound fantastic paired with a sub.
This is a good deal if you want to grab everything at once, and be done. But if you prioritize sound quality, it's worth waiting for sales on the RP line.

Keep in mind that Klipsch claiming this is a "5.0.2" system is based on the towers having those useless upfiring "Atmos" speakers built into their tops, which will do nothing because for upfiring speakers to be effective they have to be precisely aimed (and your ceiling can't be sloped or too high) so that the "bounce" actually hits where you sit not some random spot 2-3 feet away from it.
$1K could be much better spent in any number of ways. Here's one example of 5 speakers with a decent starter sub for the same money, and zero risk of ear fatigue from those cheap Reference series (the RP series are less prone to this well-known downside) tweeters: https://rslspeakers.com/products/...ter-system

The "upfiring Atmos" here is genuinely useless. The effectiveness of upfiring Atmos is questionable to begin with, the built-in Atmos speakers here are weak, and there is very little content that even uses the channel effectively anyways. Unless you are hosting watch parties of Master and Commander on BluRay with built-in ceiling Atmos speakers in a carefully designed home theater room, then you will probably never even notice the height channel.
This is a pretty bad deal compared to the sets you can get from Adorama. Only benefit is Costco return policy.
