Klipsch R1650C 6.5" In-Ceiling Speaker - Single

I bought these speakers to replace some that used to sit on the floor behind my TV viewing sofa. Unfortunately my grandkids decided they were good stepping stools - and since the speakers were facing upwards, well let me just say that was not the best way to take care of those old speakers. Now with the ceiling mounted speakers, I do not have to worry about the grandkids ruining them. So far I am pleased with the speakers and they do work well when I play a Blu-Ray video that has good stereo/dolby sound. I used the boxes they were shipped in - upside down over the speakers, next to the drywall in the attic, to keep the insulation from getting into the speaker area.

I purchased a pair of these Klipsch speakers for sound in my dining room and living room area. I expected decent sound from Klipsch but had reasonably low expectations regarding a nice full sound. Installation of these speakers was very simple and clean. The hardest part for me was running wires but that's due to having imbecile builders that closed up the walls before running the wires. The speakers have a very clean, full sound and considering their size, they have plenty of clean bass for my application. I can play these soft or loud and they sound great. In true Klipsch form they perform with low power better than most small speakers. I can't recommend these highly enough for their performance, fit and finish, and price.

The Klipsch R1650C 6.5" In-Ceiling Speaker is actually 5"25 instead of 6.5". So many fantastic previous reviews blinded my judgement and I ordered 5 of this product. Now I need to return them because of the misleading labelling and false information in the description FROM THE MANUFACTURER. Sound quality wise them are not bad but 5.25" is NOT GOOD enough to produce or yield the frequency response I expected. What a shame.

I wanted a less invasive surround speaker. I am a die hard Klipsch enthusiast and still use my 1985 Klipsch Heresy speakers. So, I opted to install these small speakers built into the wall. The result: not only looks better, BUT THE SOUND IS MUCH BETTER than my Klipsch SS.5 that I was using. So, not only did I end up with a better overall look, but I got an improvement in sound quality. This is an excellent speaker if you want to install the speaker into the wall, never have to worry about it again, especially if you can hardwire the connectivity one time, mount a wall bracket, employ the banana plugs, and then you're good to go for the next 20-30 years! And you can paint the speaker rim and grilles to match the paint color on your wall. Outstanding.

I paired these with my current Polk 7.1 speaker setup, initially i was going to go with Polk in ceiling to match everything but i did some reading online and made this purchase instead, install was easy, majority of the time was spent fishing wires for the speakers, after install was complete they really do sound amazing for what they are. in my opinion ceiling speakers are the way to go over up firing gimmicky atmos speakers any day. they can handle the power from my AVR just as well the rest of my polk speakers and compliment each other nicely. I rated them a 4 for AQ as obviously being on the lower end of the scale they arent going to compete with the 8-10x priced speakers that are available.. but to compliment a mid range speaker setup these are perfect.
