Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
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

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