Product review summary

This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.

The Klipsch RP-440WF Wireless Floorstanding Speaker is a part of the Reference Premiere HD Wireless speakers and HD Control Center, which provides lossless wireless audio transmission. Users can build their own wireless home theater system by starting with a minimum of two speakers and expanding up to a 7.2 surround-sound home theater. The Smart Speaker Selector on the rear of each speaker provides a single-button solution that seamlessly makes the connection to the HD Control Center without the need for speaker wire or a complicated A/V receiver. The system is easy to set up and assign each speaker, and firmware upgrades are provided to keep the system current. The sound quality is excellent, with spacious and detailed sound and powerful bass. However, the system can conflict with devices that run at 2.4GHZ in its close vicinity and can cause the HD control center to drop connection to its speaker or speakers, requiring a reinstallation of the whole system. Here are the pros and cons:
