Front and mid top ceiling mounted

These are great! I mounted them on my ceiling following the Dolby written manual specifications. Note: Do not follow the picture that shows them in line with your floor-standing speakers—that illustration is misleading.
Optimal placement is all about maintaining a 45–55° angle based on ceiling height. My ceilings are 8 feet tall; I placed these at a 50° angle to my left and right for the front heights, which puts them about 5 feet in front of me and 5 feet to either side. They perform incredibly well paired with my Denon 6800. If you choose to ceiling-mount them, make sure you flip the switch on the back to 'Surround.'
I docked one star due to the difficult mounting process. Using only a keyhole mount made the installation a chore: I had to fit the screw head into the keyhole, use pliers to hold the screw while tightening a nut, and then thread it through my mounting bracket with a washer and locking nut. Otherwise, these are fantastic and do the job perfectly

My First Atmos Speakers

I just added these to my existing 5.1 system and I can't believe how much of a difference they've made! I also had to wall mount (as another reviewer commented) to hear a big difference but it was worth it. It created a new surround sound experience I had been missing out on. I thank Klipsch for offering them at a discount price to make it possible. I would like to recommend it to all those that can't afford purchasing a lot of extra speakers to experience atmos, simply adding these to your system will make a big difference!

The RP-500SA II are a perfect match for the RP-8000F II’s! The make the Atmos System work and the sound float in from above. They offer added vocals for crystal clear dialog. I love these speakers!

I use these as rear surrounds on a 7.2 system and they reveal ambient and effects noises perfectly. I have them wall mounted.

These speakers are perfect for a medium-sized home theater, the sound is spectacular. I would like the user manuals to be clearer, explaining each use option they have.
