Police

After unboxing, system setup proceeded quickly and without a hitch. Not having to run wires was as satisfying as you might imagine.

We started auditions with the "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" Blu-ray. The RP-440WF system was definitely competent, clear and clean; this system can play loud, and dialogue intelligibility was decent.

Keeping in mind that it retails for just north of $5,000 (AU$9,999), however, we expected better sound quality. We compared the Klipsch with a much less-expensive wired 5.1 system: Elac Debut F5 tower speakers, Debut C5 center speaker, Debut B5 surround speakers, Klipsch R110SW subwoofer, and an Onkyo TX NR646 receiver. That system's full retail price was $2,218 -- and it sounded more dynamically alive and dialogue was clearer, than with the Klipsch.
