Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The polks perform outstandingly. Just have to install them correct and have a good amp. They have a very clean crisp sound and i wish i had bought them sooner.

I'm not going to bother with a review of the quality of klipsch speakers. I don't foresee any problems, and was well worth the risk given the substantial discount. Worth every penny.

Cdt-5800-c allows a great amount of directional control for both the woofer and tweeter. The tweeter and woofer move independently of each other. Both have 360deg adjustable tweeters.

Some say break-in periods are over 100 hours, so bear that in mind, but i feel this has been sufficient. And these speaker do a great job adding to that experience.



Cons

Klipsch cdt-5800-c ii arrived broken and not working. Will never purchase from this vendor again. The flimsy pcb and lack of enough support on it. Seems as if all the speakers sent by this vendor have cracked circuit boards.

Quality


Easy install, great sound quality, just what we needed!


The sound quality is exceptional, with clear and precise highs and deep, rich bass tones.


Or maybe my ears are so biased from cheap speakers my whole life that i can't respect good quality.


The circuit board was cracked in half and the speaker was on functioning.

Price


For $200 a speaker i think they are an excellent value


These are great speakers at a great price.


Amazon has them for literally half the price of authorized klipsch dealers.


For $ 200 each they are a steal

Shipping


The seller still replaced the damaged speaker but i had to pay for return shipping.


I had an issue where product most likely was damaged in the transportation, and they not only resolved the situation, but they ...  Read More

Packaging was great and the quality of the product is awesome so far.


They were placed in fired rated back boxes (the klipsch model) which keeps some of the sound out of the space above and made in...  Read More


, but they were in factory fresh sealed boxes.


Like others have indicated, the box was in good shape but the board seems fragile and has a screw securing the board right in t...  Read More

Competitiveness


They match our other klipsch bookshelf / center speakers.


These speaker are awesome, there is no comparison to up firing.


To describe the speakers in comparison: the polks can be tinny at highs and more muddy at lows and mids, while the klipschs can...  Read More


Seems high when comparing what one can get in shelf speaker format (arguably higher volume stuff).

    To understand any mileage 34may vary34 differences you need to understand the room youre installing in compared to mine one bathroom guest is about 8 feet by 15 feet with standard 8 foot ceilings the other master is much longer and has vaulted ceilings varying depth but not beyond 10 feet finally my great room has 20 foot vaulted ceilings in an l shape that is mostly unimpeded from the ceiling outward sort of like an inverted bidirectional amphitheater
