Dude so glad a saw this video I was hesitant on pulling the plug on the $899 deal, had it in my cart several times and never got around to complete the transaction. Then saw them for $799 and decided to to buy them and match them with my Sony STR DH790 I bought 3 months prior. So I replaced my 6.1 Bose Accustimass with these Klipsch and boy I’m glad I did. These are amazing and go perfect with the Klipsch R-12 Subwoofer, that I got on sale for $149 at Costo as well. Loved it so much I ordered a 2nd subwoofer, cause today was the last day the are on sale. Glad I listened to you. Worth every penny.

[@ealanosborne]

I continue to see comments like this since that killer sale just ended, and it brings such a big ol’ smile to my face! 😀🙌

Thank you so much for this video. Been going over how to affordably figure out a Atmos surround sound system and this perfectly solved my problem. Now to just wait on that receiver to go back down in price...

[@alexfernandez7529]

I have owned the Sony STR-DH790 for over a year. Best feature I love is being able to play my music via Bluetooth. So far, I have a 3.2 Surround setup. 2 Sony SS-F7000, 4 way tower speakers for left and right. 1 Sony SSCS8 for center Channel, 1 Klipsch R-10SW sub and I just picked up a Klipsch R-12SW at Costco for less than $180. I haven’t added any rear or ceiling speakers yet. Very happy with my setup!

Just found this receiver at my local goodwill for $98.00! Grabbed it immediately, seemed odd to have something so new there but all ports work with no issue, just no remote or calibration mic. I programed my harmony remote for the receiver and it is working well. Will integrate atmos speakers soon, but just wanted to say how nice this receiver is. Sound is very clear.

[@ealanosborne]

Oh man, what a great find! Good job! 🤘

[@Route66Snacks]

I own two of these recievers and I strongly suggest you contact the manufacturer to get a replacement remote for this model for calibration. I don't use the mic but the very basic on screen menu is complimented strongly by the display menu of the reciever itself and navigating is much easier with remote. Make sure you enable the hdmi as your input to enable full bandwidth to your channels or you won't be getting the real sound this unit can produce. Good luck

[@ghostreap]

How ironic! I just went with this same setup except I picked up the Yamaha TSR-700 (RX-V6A) from Costco as well for $399. Atmos and HDMI 2.1 pass through compatible, for a bit of future proofing. Awesome video!

[@ealanosborne]

Dang! Definitely future proofing with that 8K support! 🙌😎

[@riverwarts9084]

@@ealanosborne an interesting note about the Yamaha since I just picked one up last week at Costco. It's listed as a 7.1 receiver, buuuut has 2 subwoofer inputs on the back so then it would be 7.2 right? I was super stoked to see the dual sub plugs so I picked up two of the Klipsch R120 woofers for only 300 bucks total!!! Thanks to you I'm now confidentially upgrading my system piece by piece for the poor man's 7.2.2 Atmos setup!!

[@prithwin]

I now Have phenomenal sound thanks to you, I pretty much got every bit of discount that you talked about in the video, with speaker wires + tools everything included this cost me a little over $750 over the holidays, I have to say for the space I have, speakers completely fill the space up with sound, and it's so loud and powerful that I often wonder why my neighbors aren't complaining. A few things buyers should be aware of is that the sony str-dh790 can't be controlled via an app or anything, in fact it can't be connected to the internet for software updates etc, and a lot of configuration is buried deep inside the AMP menu on the receiver so it's a bit difficult to get to and configure properly, in hindsight I would have gone with a DN1080, which pretty much covers the gap, but I have figured out and learned a lot about this stuff that I don't need that upgrade anymore. Also, the Journey to Atmos Audio is not easy, it takes some time to understand what's going on. So be patient and stick to it.

[@ealanosborne]

That’s fantastic news!!! Congrats on your new LOUD home theater setup! 😄 But most importantly, thank you for your feedback on the Sony. I will definitely take that into account if I reference it in the future. 👍

[@rmatthews007]

Thanks for the video! It helped me immensely! Costco has the Klipsch theater system on sale now (January 2021) for $299; I went with the Sony STR-DN1080 receiver and I'm waiting for my cable and banana clip order to arrive from Amazon. I have two Bose 161 speakers I'm going to use for the height output. I purchased those several years ago at a thrift store; never used them but now I can. I'm looking forward to enjoying this system soon!

I got this exact set up per your recommendation. One of the satellites acquired a buzzing sound after a week when it hit a certain frequency. Wrote to Klipsch and they said "the Sony STR-DH790 outputs 145W per channel at 6 ohms, which translates to roughly 108W per channel when driving an 8 ohm speaker. The satellites in the Reference Theater Pack are only rated at 50W continuous, so they are being overdriven by a significant amount. We generally recommend staying within + or - 20% of the rated power handling, so a max of 60W on these in particular." Thankfully they are sending me another satellite for free but they also told me not to crank my sound too loud which I don't anyway but would be nice to know in future. Buyer beware.

I've been slowly piecing together a true Dolby Atmos system to replace the soundbar I've been using. I got a set of Onkyo speakers from a thrift store that was intended to be a starter as one speaker was missing from the set. Last week though I came across the Klipsch Reference Theater pack from this video at a local place called Trade-It still factory sealed in the box for $200 and decided to go with these instead. Now I need to buckle down and find the bookshelf speakers for my front left and right channel and finally find a receiver (between Covid and bills getting a decent receiver has alluded me thus far).

Oof. Yeah, budget AVRs are hard to come by right now, with no light at the end of the tunnel that I can see. If you have a Costco membership (or a friend who does), they keep getting stocked with budget receivers for a short period of time, then they’re gone. Then they get them back in stock again, etc. Currently (just checked their website), the Yamaha TSR 700 is back again for only $439. 🤷‍♂️ Good for you, doing all that bargain hunting, though! 🤘 Keep at it!

You’re welcome!!!

@ealanosborne, just wanted to follow up, turns out two of the klipsch satellites from the reference kit I bought were damaged so I’m dealing with mercari to get a partial refund, but I bought two Sony Atmos ready speakers, hooked those bad boys up and now I’ve got sweet Atmos and dtsx running smoothly and I’m loving it! Thanks for your help, you’ve definitely got a longtime subscriber here!

[@ealanosborne]

Ah, bummer about the 2 broken speakers. But I’m glad you’re up and running with some Atmos now!!! Hooray! 🙌🙌🙌

[@CalvarysCross316Band]

@@ealanosborne thanks again for all your help and your willingness to email me! You’re the bomb diggity (in Atmos)

[@DKMRFCBrlz]

Nice videeeooo

[@user-gi3xj8nz3s]

Great 👍 video . Would you recommend any other receiver around same price range that has Dolby Atmos that will go with the klipsch speaker setup you recommend.

[@gangstacatslucyphermiecha8818]

Good everything but the price not right cant find 5.1 speaker klipsh with that price hahahahaha minimum 799 pound

[@synegra83]

Just ordered that Sony receiver gonna pair it with the Jamo s 803 system + jamo atmos. Still undivided about the but is probably going to be the klipsch from cotsco when it goes down to $150

[@ealanosborne]

Excellent! 🙌

Firstly an awesome video, killer start and ah yes...... the setup. So bought the Denon 750 at 319, theatre pack at 329 and the r41m for 140. Hooked up everything except the 2 spare speakers from the theater pack. I can't get the feel. Especially the center channel is overshadowed by r41m. Any suggestion dolbydoc?

[@ealanosborne]

Haha, thanks for the compliments! And yeah...getting that balance is an art form, since room space, furniture and ceilings are all different for everyone. For starters, make sure that sub is set to 120 Hz crossover, so makes up for what the little Theater Pack speakers can’t do. I’m not positive, since I don’t own the s750h, but I’m pretty sure you can also set the crossover frequencies for each individual speaker. So even though the r-41m’s frequency response can go lower than 110Hz, set the crossover to 120Hz so they match what the Theater Pack satellites can output. And also, it’ll take a couple weeks to “break in” the speakers in any given space. I wasn’t all too impressed either when first hooked up. Then down the road, it just dawned on me, “Hey...these sound better.” 😄 In the end, these are still budget speakers. So they’re not the best of the best. But I still think they’re the best for the price, compared to other systems in its class. 👍

sony str dn1080 is nice too(cheap too)

The intro is my life.

[@ealanosborne]

😄 Well then it’s high time you upgrade! 🙌

[@2KRICHKID]

I'm getting tower klispch speakers. Would it be OK if I get a 7.2. Channel like Yamaha RX-V6A. Will that be powerful enough for my klispch speakers?

[@fraddi]

the music transition at 0:33 😂😂😂

[@hunter3.141]

Just got the 5.1 Klipsch for $250, R41M for $85, and a Yamaha TSR-5810 for $200. With wire and stands it costs about $550! Couldn't be happier basically the same setup as this video

[@ealanosborne]

Hot damn! That’s some excellent bargain hunting right there. 🙌💯

[@MykLim]

Are they brand new? Or 2nd hand??

[@MykLim]

@@ealanosbornesir... is the yamaha tsr 5810 a good receiver??

[@eddiekng]

Great video and very informative. Is the Klipsch Reference Theater Pack 5.1 that you mention Dolby Atmos compatible? I don't see it referenced anywhere on the specs or manual. Another set of more expensive Klipsch speakers does mention Dolby Atmos. Am I missing something or does it even matter? Thanks!

[@ealanosborne]

Great question! It doesn't really matter which speakers you use, it matters how many. You need at least 7 speakers for a Dolby Atmos system. The Reference theater pack comes with 5 speakers and a sub, so that's not considered a Dolby Atmos-ready setup, numbers-wise. That's why in this video I suggest getting the R-41M bookshelf speakers ALSO, since that will give you a total of 7 speakers, which you can then use in a Dolby Atmos speaker configuration, as long as you get an AV receiver that can decode Dolby Atmos.

[@michaelhopkins5531]

Will this surround threes work really good with the cinema 600 I sure reviews with them hooked up to the bar 48 and they said they will total garbage many issues even an update was offered and still no good how would they work with the cinema 600 maybe there was issues with the bar 48 I would appreciate it if you'd get back to me I had my heart set on that system thank you for your excellent review

[@sake_sake_2me291]

I just ordered this exact setup today lol

[@nickchevrier4134]

And how is it, i ordered all the same pieces with 14 speaker wire.

[@lasuzzoeaglegaming]

Hey, I have a question, I just got both of these units. And the receiver keeps going into protect mode when my volume is above 35. I’m not sure what is happening. The receiver is only warm to the touch so I don’t think it is overheating. I verified all wires are intact and not touching any metal or anything like that. Is the impedance to low for the receiver?? Did you have this problem when setting up?

[@at4237]

I recommend watching Transformers Age Of Extinction at 2:22:00 on this set. It blew my mind.

[@khalidkwtmasued2148]

nice post

[@jacobgeyen9959]

How would you describe the difference between this setup and the Vizio M-Series 5.1.2 setup?

[@lrojasfl]

Hello Ealan, excellent video. I know very little about the subject, however I would like to have a 5.1.2 home theater, with dolby atmos, but I only have a budget of 1200 dollars, what speakers do you recommend?

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

Good video I wish you provided Amazon links

[@rzub]

The intro had me laughing 🤣🤣🤣 . The prices are scary .

[@malcombhardy]

The issue is the Sony reciever which doesnt have enough amplification for the klipsch set. With only 90 watts per channel into 6 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.09% THD, with 2 channels driven is not enought. Klipsch standing speaker requires 8 ohms. you'll need a 4 channel amp with RCA's and a 100w per channel reciever with pre outs.

[@dealerovski82]

7 wonders

[@david_does_life]

Once possible I will to have to cross the border and get these speakers...here in Canada the Klipsch 5.1 speakers are 900$! I already have the Sony receiver

[@nickchevrier4134]

Got new open box on ebay for 396 cad all in! Found a new reciever on fb marketplace for 402 all in too. Extra speakers were 163 too. Amazon speaker wire for 109!

[@cavemancavetown8274]

How can you add another subwoofer, since it is a package. Do they sell same subwoofer as in the reference package?

[@alexhawkins7133]

Can the height speakers go on the walls to the side instead of the tv wall? The Dolby guide shows them being placed on the side so I’m confused where to place them now. I am thinking to the side will be good with this setup since the center, and bookshelf speakers will be near the tv.

[@ealanosborne]

Sure! Every living room/home theater space is different, so however you can pull it off is fine. As long as those height speakers are pointed in your general direction, you’re good, whether they’re above the TV, straight above your head or to the sides up high. 👍
