Klipsch CDT-5800-C II Dolby Atmos In-Ceiling Speakers - Unboxing

[@SSmoothS70]

I'm running these as my rear speakers in a 5.1.2 setup, they are awesome.

[@Youthman]

Glad to hear! Should have mine installed in 2 weeks!

[@carcar5911]

I had no idea that the woofer actually was able to be angled!! Thanks so much!

[@number1pappy]

These look well built and awesome as well. I love the fact you can adjust the angles on the woofers as well as the tweeters.

[@SuperDave]

It's cool watching the transitional upgrade!

[@Youthman]

Thanks Dave. I REALLY wish I would have documented my entire audio journey over the past 8 years but you know what they say...hindsight is 20/20.

[@SuperDave]

That would have been a lot of videos to make!

[@Youthman]

True but boy it would have been cool to see over time

[@bradsmith4665]

I got these hooked up yesterday and I already had ceiling speakers hooked up and as of now I am NOT impressed. Maybe I was expecting more bass and I did switch it to the b and as of now I’m not happy. Maybe there’s some adjustments in the receiver to get more out of them. Not sure. Maybe my receiver isn’t putting out enough watts too. But keep the videos coming. I didn’t know you were a youth pastor. That’s cool. I believe in Christ myself. Take care bud

[@hi-fihaven2257]

Those are some awesome looking speakers! 8 inch Atmos speakers wow! Cannot wait for you to get them hooked up, and tell us your impressions. Great work man!

[@Youthman]

Thanks. I'm very excited too.

[@hi-fihaven2257]

My neighbor has 2 6 1/2 inch Atmos speakers in his ceiling, the effect is awesome! I cannot imagine four 8 inch will be like!

Hey youthman, a buddy of mine recently gave me a pair of r-5800c in wall speakers, but don’t know much about them. They’re version 1

[@TheRafcave]

Excellent choice youthman, have fun installing them! 👌🏽👍🏽😉

[@Youthman]

Thanks RAF! Slowly moving towards ATMOS!

[@kevinweithers1223]

Nice speakers Youthman! BTW..your 4 back speakers are the right height for a traditional 7 channel setup. However, for Atmos, you have to drop them to ear height... .check the Atmos setup guide on the Dolby site. The reason behind that logic is that, at their current height, they will compete with your Atmos ceiling speakers.

[@Youthman]

Hey Kevin...yes....I did discover that. Honestly I'm not sure what I can do since my side surround is at 6' because it's in the walkway as you enter the room. I didn't want someone smacking their face on it. Then the surround backs are mounted much higher than I would desire due to the entrance door being below it. My saving grace might be the 10' height of my ceiling to give it that separation. Won't know till we install the Atmos Speakers. If it sounds great, I won't bother. If it's not impressive, I might be forced to.

[@kevinweithers1223]

Yeah, I hear you Youthman. I face similar constraints in my room also as I have obstacles impeding my need to move down my surrounds in order to implement Atmos. One workaround might be to attach your surrounds with speaker brackets, while leaving them where they are. That way you can angle them down to point at ear level. This should work as they won't be firing high up anymore.

[@Youthman]

A lot of people tend to think that if you have a Home Theater, you have the ideal setup. Nope....there are constraints and limitations just like the other guy's living room. But you take what you have and make the best of it. My surround backs have a custom mount that angles them directly towards the front row seating.

[@beeavision]

I've been debating for sometime on whether to go with either four Klipsch CDT-5650-C II or two pairs of RP-500M's for Atmos. I've heard that having the speakers enclosed in a cabinet sound better than the open design of some in-ceiling speakers. Also if I go with bookshelf speakers it will save me a few hundred dollars and allow me to place and aim them anyway I need to. My dedicated home theater is 12' x 16' x 8'. Your thoughts?

[@shaunr5450]

Just picked up on Amazon sale for 200 a piece. Not sure if still on sale.

[@scottyo64]

Checking out one of your older videos as I was thinking about different ways to get Dolby Atmos into my Jeeper Cave. Something like this might be the solution for that small room.

Great video, and some awesome speakers, thanks!

[@LoudCobra1]

Really nice these will have to wait a little while but man I want those

[@TBrownRecords]

You made a very helpful video

[@andrewlai3598]

another thing i don't understand is you prefer the one with the bigger woofer because of the bass, but assuming you will be watching with your subwoofer turned on so all low frequency sound will go there, so having a bigger woofer in the ceiling, is it that important ? um.. i dont' have a friend that give me a pair of high end ceiling speakers so would like to cut corners while trying to sacrifice as little as possible in quality

[@dubs2171]

Exactly the speakers im getting. Good choice youth!

[@Youthman]

Awesome! I really like how I can aim the tweeters and woofers and there are settings for woofer and tweeter too. If you use The links in my description, Amazon will give me a small commission for referring you

[@jarrodkurr4718]

Any feedback on these after you spent much more time with them? I’m looking at these or the RSL C34E for Atmos duty. Bed layer uses high efficiency compression drivers so need Atmos to keep up. Thanks!

[@Youthman]

Thoroughly enjoyed them for the many years that I use them. I have since upgraded to a full JTR system. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWOVhaimfs5mY9Esi=yc-2AlhYCyLXA4Ke

[@luckyfarm377]

Hi there, you mentioned that you were going to spray paint the cover black, it's what I'm planning on doing. What paint did you use, and how did it go?

[@Youthman]

I used a flat black. Nothing special. Just very light spray with multiple coats so you don’t clog the holes

[@dvan3630]

Nice upgrade youth man I'm doing mine maybe later on this year

[@Youthman]

Awesome! I hope it’s worth it but from what I hear, it is

[@toddy3474]

Mine is only 25x20 but it makes the front sound loads better more immersive like your in a bubble 👍

[@Youthman]

If my room was 25’ long, I would absolutely go with 6 in ceiling Atmos. My room is 19’ deep and 4’ of that is my front cabinet so the actual “space” that the speakers have to cover is 13’ Wide x 15’ deep

[@cd1982]

so you mentioned Klipsch sent you some speakers to try and advertise do they let you keep them or? I like your set up btw im in the process of doing a small set up myself nothing major

[@Youthman]

Many of the products I Review end up being returned to the manufacturer. Some speakers I have been able to keep through sponsored videos.

[@Youthman]

I bought one pair of CDT-5800-C II speaker’s, the other pair was given to my by a friend.

[@WarpedTrekker]

Did you also buy the fire-proof box that Klipsch has to mount the speakers into?

[@Youthman]

No I do not have enclosures for them.

[@savanp228]

Hey youthma, came across this old review. I have 7.2.2 set up. Given my room, I could only do back surround as in ceiling speakers. These are just regular down firing speakers. Do you recommend upgrading to speakers that can be pointed towards listening area?

[@erics6163]

Hey Thank you for posting. I have a bit of trouble for my set up and looking for some help. Or thoughts. I have polk 265-ls for the fronts and polk 255c-ls for the center. I am not going with a atmos setup so I need two in ceiling rears. I was thinking these but im not sure how the balance will be with the polks what are your thoughts?

[@voiceofreason9238]

Will the Denon X6400 drive your HT Atmos setup by itself? If yes I'd like to hear a review on that. Maybe add the external Parasound amp later to see how that changes the sound.

[@Youthman]

That’s EXACTLY what I want to find out for myself. I’m not confident it can do it. The ONLY saving grace might be the extremely high sensitivity of the LaScala Trio...but I’m still doubtful

[@calinubro]

Are you going to film the installation of those speakers? PLEASE!!!

[@Youthman]

I already did. Check the other videos on my channel 😀

[@victorpiedra3970]

I have 6 inwall prewire speaker connections I would like to connect Klipsch speakers. My media room is 15 feet wide by 24 long. house is new and has been prewired by the builder. I already have the following staff all I need is the speakers 1 subwoofer Definitive pro 800 1 receiver Pioneer vsx-1122 what speakers do you recomment I should get ?

[@Youthman]

A lot of that depends on your budget Victor. Is the Definitive Pro 800 an 8” woofer? If so, I would consider upgrading to a 15” sub or even dual 15’s for that size room. My room is 13’ x 19’ x 10’ and a 12” sub in my room isn’t enough.

[@toddy3474]

Go for 7.2.6 awesome sound from Atmos height speakers 🔊 👍

[@Youthman]

My room is 13’ x 19’ with 10’ ceiling. Not sure the size room would benefit from adding two more Atmos speakers. 7.2.4 sounds great

[@kmg3144]

Thank you Youthman! Which driver size would you recommend for a pair of rf7iii and an rc64iii center? I am looking to buy 4.

[@Youthman]

I was originally going to go with 6” but a friend gave me a pair of CDT-5800-C II so I bought two more. No regrets

[@larajohnson3428]

Can you do a video of painting the grill?

[@Youthman]

They are already painted. Pretty simple, I can of spray paint, and spray very lightly so you don’t clog the pores

[@andrewlai3598]

in an atmos setup if you are using ceiling speakers can you go cheap? i heard there is very little sound going to the ceiling speakers, how is 5800 compared to 1650 C? i can get 1650 dirt cheap (like 40 US), but not sure if i am really sacrficing a lot by going cheap with ceiling speakers. Thanks for your feedback.

[@charliewaters5289]

Why would you paint those instead of putting black speaker material over it?

[@Youthman]

Why not? As long as your coats are really thin and you don’t clog the pores, it works great.

[@M1GarandMan3005]

Say Youthman, whenever you do another review for either floorstanding or bookshelf speakers, you should test them on The Lost World Jurassic Park. Awesome movie with epic roars and a fair share of earth-shaking explosions and action. Just a suggestion. BTW, great review as always!

Love your vids! I'm doing a 5.1.2 Klipsch in wall system in my basement using apro 250rpw LCR for my center, pro 180's from my front L+R, Pro 160's for my side surrounds and 2 CDT-3650-C II's for my height speakers. Would you recommend adding two rear surrounds in my 400 square foot basement and if so what size? I have a Denon AVRX 4500 receiver. THANKS!

[@Youthman]

Thank you for the kind words. I would recommend adding two more Atmos speakers instead of two surround back speakers. So instead of a 7.1.2, you would have a 5.1.4 setup. You will get a much better Atmos experience with 4 than with 2

[@mckenzieathletics5682]

Youthman Oh wow. I never thought of that thanks. I’m only doing one row of seating would you still recommend 4 atmos in the ceiling? Also I’m reading that a lot of content with atmos doesn’t use the height speakers enough. Do you find that to be the case or do you always feel them playing ??

[@naveenbalajiviswanathan5389]

Hi Youthman, I am planning to buy ds 160 cdt atmos speakers from klipsch. Have any comments/reviews about this speaker? Also, do you recommend 5.1.2 or 5.1.4? And why? Please let me know your comments

[@Youthman]

Hi, I have been so busy doing product reviews I haven’t had time to review my own personal products like the CDT-5800-C II. In a nutshell they sound fantastic but honestly I have never had Atmos speakers before these so I have nothing to compare them to. I probably would have gone with the 6.5” version but I was given a pair of 5800 so I decided to get a matching pair. My recommendation would be to get four of them as opposed to two. All of the research that I see online suggest that if it all possible go with for Atmos speakers because the whole purpose of them is to immerse you with audio and if you only have two speakers in front of you that sound does not also come from behind you. It’s like trying to do surround sound with only two front speakers and no rear surround

[@naveenbalajiviswanathan5389]

[@arongatt]

ATMOS/DTS-X is something i did not go into, mainly cos i do not have a huge or big enough room... i will try to see the minimum room size required to have a pleasent atmos-dts-x expiereiance. cos i do believe that there need to be some good seperation between front to back between the atmos speakers right?

[@Youthman]

My room is 13’ x 19’ with a 10 foot ceilings. I’m not sure if I have seen any minimum room sizes for atmos

[@arongatt]

I don't know that's why I asked but for a good surround sound between the front and back from the pro-logic days to nowadays in my experience there need to be at least 8/9 feet of separation from front to back. and thought maybe if adding another 2 or 4 including if that stays the same or for optimal atmos performance, if there's,​ is a minimum requirement.

[@kingkong9862]

Can you add more ceiling speaker In one channel and is still sound good?.....i am trying to add more speaker in my right and left channels on my home theatre system..... please help ...

[@Youthman]

I would not recommend wiring two speakers to the same channel on a receiver as you will change the impedance. I would either upgrade your receiver to one that can handle additional Atmos channels or maybe get an external amp that can power your Atmos speakers

[@MrModeratemuslim]

Great video, thanks. Question for you. So I have a 7.2 setup. I have dedicated emotiva amps running all 7 channels. I just purchased 4 of these (at retail!!!!!) to use as atmos speakers to achieve 7.2.4. Will these be audible using a denon x6500h as the primary power source (and emotiva for the other 7). Or would it be negligible upgrade over my existing 7.2 system. I'm asking becusse I can still return everything, lol.

[@Youthman]

When I reviewed the 6400, it was able to power my 7.2.4 system. Granted my Klipsch LasScalas are 104dB sensitive so they don’t require much power to drive them to reference levels. The 6500 will have absolutely no problem driving the 4 Atmos speakers

[@dubs2171]

I have that denon receiver. Its great!

[@Youthman]

I really like it EXCEPT....it gets EXTREMELY hot, even when I just have it turned on without anything playing. Within 30 min, you can almost not tough it

[@dubs2171]

Youthman i put 2 usb computer fans above the heat sinks toward the front of unit

[@Youthman]

Yeah I want to check out the Marantz 8012 to compare

[@Youthman]

Even adding a fan will still cause that heat to be in my room and it gets hot anyways

[@erikbee4894]

So I've narrowed it down to either the CDT-5650-C II or the CDT-5800-C II. I'm thinking of going with 4x 5800 speakers. My ceiling is only 8' so the distance between the speaker and MLP will be between 6' to 8' . The seating positions to the left and right will be between 4' to 6'. Is that too close or just fine?

[@Youthman]

Take a look at www.dolby.com/about/support/guide/speaker-setup-guides/ and just make sure your speakers are within the recommended angles.

[@erikbee4894]

Thanks for your quick reply and the link. I have the placements aready set as closely to Dolby's recommendations but there is nothing on speaker size. Due to the shape of the room the two speakers along the rear will be closer to the mlp than the two along the front. Which is why I provided a range in distance. My main concern is with the right and left seats from the mlp. The two rear speakers will be nearly 4' 6" from the ear of the listener. I'm thinking 8" might be too big that close. Perhaps I can just dial them down and set the distance in the avr using Audyssey. Any thoughts?

[@Youthman]

Your AVR will balance the levels based on their distances. As long as you have them within Dolby’s recommendation, you will be fine. As far as size, that’s preference. I went with larger 8” in-ceiling but a 6.5” would have likely done well also.

[@erikbee4894]

@@Youthman Thank you so much for all your help. Like you I went with the CDT-5800-C II just to be sure. I was able to get an incredible deal from Mike at Acoustic Sound Design. Last week I was at a Best Buy store and was able to listened to a pair of Sonance 6.5" in-ceiling speakers and compare them with a pair of Klipsch PRO-180 RPC speakers. Though these were two different brands and not exactly the CDT II series it was the closest I could get to demoing the two sizes side by side. I found the Sonance 6.5" was more localize compared to the Klipsch 8" speaker. The 8" had more ambience and fuller range of sound despite being a bit loud. I have no idea what their crossovers were. Again, not exactly a fair and accurate comparison but I guess good enough for me.

[@erikbee4894]

Well I just got the CDT-5800-C II speakers installed in my theater and you were absolutely right they sound incredible. Their placements are close to Dolby's specifications. Not an exact match up but after a few listening sessions I honesty feel I have them exactly where I want them. This is likely due in part to their pivoting woofer and tweeter design along with the standard full rotation otherwise known as their controlled dispersion technology. As you stated earlier Atmos is definitely not a gimmick. It certainly opens up a whole new world to the cinematic experience. Can't wait to see what they come out with next.

[@garykarczewski6678]

Curious why you got such an expensive ceiling speakers for Dolby Atmos? This seems to be a common mistake by people opting for far more speaker for effects than really necessary. I can see getting these speakers if these are to be used for mains in a room and ceilings are the only resource. But for Dolby atmos I have to question your choice. I just don't see you getting much more "effect" experience with these expensive speakers vs a simple less expensive model in a similar configuration and size.

[@Youthman]

Hi Gary, the reason I went with them was for several reasons. 1) I was given a pair of CDT-5800-C for free so that meant I only needed to purchase one pair. 2) I got a really good deal on them. 3) I want them all to match. 4) My main speakers are (3) Klipsch LaScalas and my surrounds are Klipsch RS-62 II. Getting tiny speakers would have been drowned out by the other 7 speakers. With that said, if I would have had to pay $1200 for all 4, I likely would not have invested that much in Atmos speakers.

[@garykarczewski6678]

Well those are logical reasons, free is always good and I agree if you invest in a second pair and get a screaming deal on them outstanding. I have found excellent ceiling speakers new by Parts Express 8" ranging for about $52 -70 each which will do the job as well as the Klipsch for Dolby Atmos. $1200 for 4 Atmos speakers is way too much money for what you get being they are used for effects and would be far over kill. Now if they were playing full range main audio then that would be a different story I guess.

[@Youthman]

Yeah I personally would be hesitant spending $1200 on ATMOS speakers.

Here is the link - amzn.to/2KlfASe. It doesn't cost you anything extra to use it.

[@Pitbull0669]

Youthman glad to see you sticking with the Klipsch. I use Def techs.minus my towers which are prototypes. And you know tge Velodyne subs. Keep me posted on your updates

[@Youthman]

Thanks John

I thought you were going to play music so we can hear how it sounds? Video started well but ended up being disappointing.

[@Youthman]

The problem is audio demos on KZbin will in no way give you an idea of how they sound. You will only be able to hear that they do produce sound (which doesn’t offer any benefit).

👍

[@Youthman]

Thanks again for the other pair!

[@beastscinema3964]

Youthman no problem

[@23x31]

A cheap Dayton or whatever full range driver is all that's needed for ceiling speakers as they're not critical, unlike the main fronts. HUGE waste of money for these.

[@Youthman]

If you pay full retail, I would have to agree. I was given one pair from a friend of mine and got a really good deal on the second pair which was cheaper than I could have purchased 4 Dayton speakers for.

[@lennym6608]

@@Youthman how are you liking them?

[@Youthman]

I like them a lot, however I don’t have anything to compare them to.

[@lennym6608]

I bought micca m8 spent alot on klipsch towers, centers and sub

[@Ole_Lige]

hey brother, what happened to the svs ultra center review ?

[@Youthman]

June, it's coming. I literally just finished watching Mission Impossible with my son and his friend using the SVS Ultra Towers, Center and Dual SB-16's. Honestly, the center was VERY impressive. It was what I was most impressed with from the beginning. Dialogue especially.... Will have a review coming next week. Definitely has my approval so far.

[@Ole_Lige]

Youthman awesome, thanks

[@Youthman]

Thank you.

Skip the Dennon there's 3 yamaha top model Marantz top model or the outstanding winner the Anthem forget the rest they're fine but you're regret a few years down the track Anthem will still be gong strong 10 years from now and is designed to be software upgradable, how to put this it came out 3 years ago late 2015 and since then all these other companies have had 2-3 units that have been superseded by their new model Anthem has made just one but has made it so the customer isn't left with an obsolete out of date technology and can just download a free upgrade of any changes and their has been a few at no charge incidentaly.

[@Youthman]

Thanks Richard. I am already leaning towards the Marantz SR8012 as I keep hearing nothing but incredible things about Marantz. Anthem as well, they are just quite a bit more expensive.

[@Cybertron-cs7sk]

Youthman I know the Anthem isn't cheap but it is the heart of the system it doesn't matter how good the speakers are or how good the power amps are, if the processor is the weak link everything else suffers. Fruit from the poisonous tree if you will. If I had to cut a corner I would choose anywhere else but there. With the Anthem you get actual A/B amps for fronts and digital for surrounds that sounded as good as their separate smaller 3ch power amp, it has hands down the best calibration out there which costs $295.00 for the kit on its own and its a long term investment, that's how you should look at it. The fact is whether you do it now or after you waste money and regret it later I'm convinced that you'll get it eventually, it's not going anywhere, maybe you need to be dissatisfied first. I'm just trying to save you money and stop you making the same mistakes I did. In closing I bought the Krell which was $6,500 and while it was in service due to a faulty board they loaned me an Anthem and because it was so much better I never gave it back. I'm sure our taste is similar as I own Klipsch KL 650 THX speakers. To be continued...

[@Cybertron-cs7sk]

Youthman on another note which projector with 3d 4k do you recommend price etc thanks.

[@Youthman]

I know what you are saying but I wouldn't consider the Marantz SR8012 as being "poisonous fruit", nor would I see it as "cutting a corner". Is it the best? Definitely not. Will it sound incredible? I'm expecting it to. There will always be bigger / better and it all comes down to what are you content with and what sounds good to you and also fits within your budget. I'm not saying I won't be upgrading to the Anthem, I'm just currently leaning towards the Marantz SR8012 at this point. I have heard ARC is one of the best room correction software on the market. Truly looking forward to hearing it in my own room. As far as 4K projectors, that is something I haven't done much research yet as native 4K projectors are still way up there in price. They are coming down but I tend to stay around the $3000 price point myself.

[@anivdas]

I have 4 of these for atmos height speakers and absolutely love them. Check this link to see if you need to use the ME-800-C metal enclosures; I did use them since it was going on second floor ceiling. images.klipsch.com/ME800C_635042118497170000.pdf

[@Youthman]

Interesting. I wonder if it actually improves the sound or just prevents transfer of sound into other rooms of the house.

[@anivdas]

I am not sure about the sound improvement as I have never tried without it; However, it is more of a safety requirement by code if the install is for plenum spaces.

[@Youthman]

Gotcha. Thank you for your honesty
