Please try this with your big setup. One of the coolest parts of these speakers is that they're CERTIFIED for THX Reference levels and will happily take a beating. Let them stretch their legs, they really shine with space! The imaging will mess with you, things behind you with the speakers spaced away will make you do the shoulder check. Give it a shot. EDIT - Toid / 123TOID did a DIY video cloning the 650s so you can bang out a pair for ~500.

Thank you Zeos for getting out the message that needs to be had: For Home Theater, one wants projection, dynamics, throw, controlled directivity, and controlled frequency response. We don't need fidelity and nuance. People miss the boat when building a home theater all the time; expensive speaker lines do NOT beat out more pro-based installations with horns. It's not music, it's movies.

This lineup is 20 years old or so. They are intended to be used as a complete system. There is a subwoofer intended to be with them. A little while back you can get a complete system slightly used for $5000. Klipsch has a new system that they're pushing through the integrator market called the RCC, which is a full behind the screen unit that comes together it's own baffle wall. LCR and 2 subs. The THX system from Klipsch was before it's time. The inwall versions seem to be more popular but the THX line isn't that hard to find online but it was intended for the custom integration market. You need a full Klipsch THX 7.1 system to truly appreciate it.
