The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500SA is a heavy, versatile pair of Dolby Atmos height speakers that can also serve as surrounds or front presence speakers. They are meant to bounce sound off the ceiling or be mounted above you, and they can be wall mounted into a stud. The RP version adds a larger Tractrix horn and a slightly wider soundstage, though the sonic jump over cheaper Klipsch height speakers is described as modest. This is the first generation RP-500SA, not the II model, so it fits best if matching Klipsch RP gear matters.

Doubt it, probably the R-41SA.

Always have been interested in the RP versions, but even at this sale price it's 2-3x more expensive than the R-41SA when it's on sale, so will stick with the cheaper ones.
I just looked...the ones I bought are RP-140SA

The $299 price is for the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500SA NOT the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500SA II.
Quote from AjkayAlan View quoted comment :
Agreed - can someone update the title? The Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500SA II are also on sale at Crutchfield, but for $450, not $300.
We updated it. Thanks for pointing out the mistake

So I got the energy deal a few weeks back for the CR set and a RSL10e. Would these be good for front and back atmos speakers speakers to go 5.1.4?
Is that the $800 RC bundle? This would be overkill. The only way this would make sense is if you could see yourself upgrading to Klipsch RP for your other speakers in the future and you want to already have matching height speakers. There's been several deals for $100 pairs of Polk, Jamo, Sony and lower end Klipsch height speakers that would make more sense.

What's the difference with the new version? This is a price I might be ok with even if it isn't a crazy deal. Only thing that sucks is i have 500Mii's not floor speakers so I don't know how well they'll fit on top.

Likely last call on this first gen stock—as Klipsch has just announced the Reference Premiere III to go on sale in October
Shouldn't we just wait for that then and buy the ii's then.

Can these be mounted on the ceiling?
They're not designed for that but you technically could.

So technically "height" position is only an option with 3 pairs with Atmos.

Proper angle is needed for optimal performance.
In the end, the sonic benefit will vary widely ime.

Probably the biggest is the updated larger Tractrix horn & slightly wider soundstage.
Sonically it's minor and probably only notice in a side-by-side comparison.

Just check the measurements to make sure

I have a set of RP 500ii's for my L/R on stands. Do you think these would be too heavy? I know they are meant to fit flush with tower speakers.

Crazy how the gen it's were on dale for the same price a year ago. Will be waiting till BF to see if they go on sale again. Still listed at over $600 on crutchfield which is insane.
