What's great about it: easy setup
What's not so great: speaker material, lifeless sound, overpriced
I see that there are nothing but 5 star reviews for these speakers, and if those people genuinely enjoy them believe me I am not going to try to sway their opinion. There is a reason that the grill is not easily removable. In order to remove the grill an allen key is needed. I would like to make clear that I did not pay full price for these speakers, I would never pay full retail for them. I paid 96$ for them after tax. I hooked them up to my Onkyo TXNR709 as rear speakers and was overwhelmed with a feeling of great hollowness. They in NO WAY complimented my B&W 684 towers. Curiosity got the better of me and after finding my allen keys I removed the grill to find a 4" paper woofer cone and with a foam surround. Really Klipsch? My fathers Bose speakers from the stone age employed this technology and sound is 100x better. I encourage anyone to go and inspect their speakers further, you will be thoroughly disappointed when you discover a woofer cone that looks like It was pulled out of a $20 dynex boom box. For 279 these are completely overpriced, and even at 96 I returned them. The tweeters do their job but the rest of the sound stage created by these speakers is just lifeless and boring. Buyer beware.

What's great about it: Sound quality
What's not so great: Wish the screen came off. Not a deal breaker
These speaker completed my system. Along with two towers and a center these speakers compliment perfectly. Don't expect huge sound all the time, but when needed, they show up in a big way. Seriously i couldnt believe how loud they got when watching transformers. You'll get the complete sound your looking for. I had the ks15 and exchanged them for these.
This product has... Easy to set up, Good build quality

In comparison to bose speakers, Klipsch speakers win in all catigories. Bose are good, but over priced. I reccommend these speakers for your sound system.

What's great about it: Value, Worth spending that extra for an excellent product.
What's not so great: Must add a good subwoofer
On the Thursday before Black Friday I decided go out to purchase to a whole new set of speakers to replace my old ones . At Best Buy, I heard the sound that came out of the Kilpsch Icon Series and decided there and then to buy them accompany with SW-450 subwoofer. I got them home and hook them up, WOW! There is only one word to describe this. PERFECTION!

What's great about it: They sound amazing for the price!
What's not so great: Speakers can't be used without grills. With the grills off the wood shows where the veneer meets it.
I purchased these along with the KF-28 towers and KC-25 center and they make a phenomenal set. When I purchased them in-store, the towers had to be ordered, but they had the center and surrounds in stock. While I waited for the towers to ship, I temporarily used the surrounds as my front speakers as a 3.1 and they were amazing. After getting the towers in they function PERFECTLY as surrounds. They aren't overpowering and the dual angled tweeters presents a need effect as part of the surround.
