Gorm Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) I ordered a pair of KPT 8060-H surround speakers in an attempt to enhance the sound from the front three speakers I built. The 12" versions were too big for the space on the sides, so I went with the 8060-H. I chose the 8060-H because of the bigger horn and the bigger voice coil in the driver. The shipped and arrived in less than a day. Very impressed with the service and speed from the guys at American Cinenma Supply. They arrived: Fresh out of box: Noticed the large bolt in an otherwise flush back. This is a teather strap that runs directly into the unit. Removing the bolt creates a hole in the unit: Without the Grill: Removal of Horn: The Horn & Driver: Since the speaker was far lighter than the wood version, I used a mount that I had left over from my ATS panels. Worked well. Used one of the attachment holes and drilled a new one into the speaker: Finished: Initial Impressions out of box: This isn't cheap feeling at all. Speaker feels very solid and looks very nice. Not crazy about the metal grill, but I think it will work out. The Klipsch logo on it is huge compared to their home products. Impressions with first few movies: WOW. These things hold the sound very well from front to all the way around you. For the first time I feel immersed in the sound. They seem to go well with the RB-75s. However, I may end up replacing them with another pair of 8060's just so that I can have matching surrounds for all four. These things rock! The RS-7s aren't even close to the sound these things are putting out. I perfered the RS-7s to RS-62s...but this is awesome, and at a nicer price than RS-62. Cost was 293 per speaker.

Heritage_Head Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Congrats! Going Pro seems a new direction for some of the forum. The RS 7 is a monster surround, these must be sweet! I think its picking up steam from all the good pub they are getting. A lot better for less or as much is hard to ignore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 ^^^ Logical Conclusion; IF Klipsch would put out a MSRP on them, they'd sell more. Most don't know they are affordable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great point. Another one of those things they do (or don't in this case) that leave me clueless on the thinking behind it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to get my own business plan together before Klipsch would consider me though. Prolly will take a while but dream job would be to own a store and sell and install products that I am very passionate about. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorm Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Did some more listening last night. Giving serious consideration to replacing the RB-75s with another set of KPT-8060s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
