Customer Review:
Purchased this and 7 HD Wireless Surround Sound Speakers and 2 Subwoofers from Klipsch
I purchased this Klipsch RP-Hub1 HD Control Center along with 2 RP-440WF HD Wireless Floor Standing Speakers, 1 RP-440WC HD Wireless Center Channel Speaker, 4 RP-140WM HD Wireless Bookshelf Speakers and 2 RP-110WSW HD Wireless Subwoofers for a full 7.2 Surround Sound Setup. I couldn't be happier. The setup is easier in that it's okay if you placed a plant, lamp or furniture in the way of the speakers since the Aperion speakers used sonar to calibrate the delay, etc. Yes, the Klipsch doesn't have that, you have to manually set it which is a small price to pay since there's no 60lbs amp or 100 feel of speaker wire that I have to route. It's also easier to assign each speaker, just press the button on the back and each speaker position will light up. Just stop when the light lands on the current position of the speaker and you're done. It's never given me issues with connecting either. I literally have zero complaints. The ONLY improvement would be somehow getting this to do Dolby Atmos and DTS X but based on the research that I've done, the wireless hub can only support 7 surround sound speakers and 2 subwoofers.
