Excellent, but if only . . .
The speakers sound great. As far as the listening experience goes, it's an excellent system. It took two Black Fridays, but I now have the complete 5.1 system. I started with the bookshelf speakers last year and bought the pair of 440s for $ on a Black Friday deal this year. They came with the control hub, so it was an excellent deal. I picked up the center channel and sub elsewhere.
The speakers are great and set up is relatively easy. So, for $ the deal is a winner. I'd give it five stars if it weren't for a few things with the overall system.
My only negative is with the control hub -- which is the only way to control the speakers. There's no way to adjust the equalization. You'll hear the "raw" input Klipsch wants you to hear and that's it. For the price these originally sold for, that's a major negative. In my case, with a 5.1 setup, there's no way to adjust the surround presets other than to adjust individual speaker volume. My AV receiver has a half dozen environments (concert hall, jazz club, etc.) and I enjoy them. Unfortunately, I can't with these speakers. Those effects are only sent to the wired speakers, so even using the HDMI passthrough, I can't get them to the control hub.
I'm a longtime Klipsch owner and I love their trademark Klipsch horn sound -- AFTER I tweak the EQ slightly. That's not possible with this system.
The visual interface for the control hub (you HAVE to output to a screen) is also substandard. Looks like something out of a mid-70s Pong game.
Finally, the remote is very light weight and feels cheap. Navigating the menus is pretty tedious as you have to use the up/down to go through each page. They could have done so much better for the price.
Still, a great listening experience. I only wish they paid a little more attention to the details and it would have been near perfect.

I love it!
I love it! Got a great deal on these and they work perfectly. Definitely buying my Klipsch setups in the future from Adorama!

Not what I expected
I was extremely excited for these speakers and their wireless capabilities, but was let down by their short comings. I kept getting drops and inconsistent connections which made the built in speakers in my TV a better experience. I looked online and found people had good success with them after they updated the firmware to the latest version. I did that on the wireless receiver and speakers and it just made everything even worse. Huge let down, felt like a product in early stages of development. I got two wireless receivers two tower speakers and two bookshelf speakers. I had a bad experience with everything I'm not sure how they wanted that receiver to power a 7.2 sound system if each receiver was having problems keeping two speakers connected. Luckily I got these on sale instead of paying full price for them like I once considered, but I ended up returning them and getting my money back. I do have a smart home maybe that was the issue.

Stay away
Reviews are completely off. Let me start by stating that I got it on sale for 750 a pair with the central music distributor included. Even at that price it is terrible. The wifi disconnects and there is cracking from both speakers even at low volume. No bass at all.

To good to be true!
I checked online for weeks looking for these speakers. It didn’t help that they were discontinued. But lucky for me I finally found them here, and at an exceptional price. From placing the order to arrival it was only a week, which was great. And did I mention they sound awesome!! I am over the moon and would definitely purchase from here again!!
