Well, I wanted to post back just so people who run into the same problem know what to do. I called Klipsch support via there website and 800 number. A Klipsch rep said that they don't believe the speakers are countefeit but do not have record of those serial numbers and aren't numbers they would have issued. He was saying that the RP-240s serial numbers start with a "10" meaning anything else would have been put on after by a dealer, which would mean it was either a Floor Model, Refurb or Open Box. None the less, these would not be covered by Klipsch's warranty.

Agree, thank you for the reply. They look identical to my other rp-240s with the exception of the SN/Barcode and placement.

I honestly doubt they are counterfeits but was hoping that someone would have some insight on this. Again the serial number sticker on various speakers over the years are different but these are not like I have seen. Thanks for the images but they don't really help answer my question.

Have you looked at the manual for the RP line speakers? http://assets.klipsch.com/product-manuals/Reference-Premiere-Speakers-Manual.pdf Take a look at the placement they recommend. The way that I am looking at it, you should be fine putting the RP-250S at that 45 or even flat against the left and right wall. I had asked a similar question on a Youtube video I saw, because in the video he had the RS62 II on the sides and rear. He said they sounded great even at mounted high on the wall. One thing though, they say to mount about 2 feet above ear level, but I am sure someone will advise against that.

New to the forum. I tried looking before I posted this question. Although serial number stickers and placement have changed over the years. The RP-240s that I recently purchased from a reputable seller doesn't look quite right. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. My RP-160m's have a much smaller sticker without a barcode.
