748 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other AV receivers and amplifiers, soundbars, home theater speakers, subwoofers, surround sound systems and Blu-ray players we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Klipsch 1066507 carries the model number associated with speakers in Klipsch's Reference or Reference Premiere lineup. At $299 and listed in ebony finish, it targets buyers who want Klipsch's characteristic horn-loaded tweeter presentation at a price that sits below the Reference Premiere flagship tier.
The 75W power rating and 7.9 lb weight place this in the bookshelf or surround speaker size class rather than a floor-stander. The 1.0 channel listing in the spec data reflects this being a single speaker SKU rather than a complete system, consistent with Klipsch selling individual speakers as components to build a custom surround configuration.
With 748 reviews at 4.8 stars and 500 units purchased monthly, this is one of the more actively purchased and highly regarded Klipsch speakers at this price. The combination of strong community validation and consistent sales velocity is a reliable positive signal.

Performance notes
Listed at 75W with wired connectivity via gold-plated binding posts typical of Klipsch Reference speakers. Actual unit weight is 7.9 lb, consistent with a bookshelf or surround-class speaker. The listed dimensions of 68.11 x 111.81 x 74.02 in are almost certainly a data conversion error (likely centimeters entered as inches); verify actual dimensions on the product page before specifying for installation.
What buyers say
748 reviews at 4.8 stars paired with 500 monthly sales is a strong combination that signals consistent satisfaction. Klipsch buyers at this price level tend to be experienced and critical, so the high average is particularly meaningful. No widespread complaint patterns are apparent at this rating level.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Klipsch 1066507 sold as a single speaker or a pair?
The spec data lists this as a 1.0 channel product, which typically indicates a single speaker unit. Confirm on the current Amazon listing whether the price covers one or two speakers before adding to cart, as Klipsch sells some Reference models individually and others as pairs.
What other Klipsch speakers pair well with the 1066507 for a full 5.1 setup?
Within the Klipsch Reference lineup, matching a compatible center channel speaker such as the R-52C and a subwoofer from the R-series alongside these satellite speakers is the standard approach. Using speakers from the same product family ensures matched sensitivity and tonal character across channels.
Are the listed dimensions accurate?
No. The dimensions listed in the spec data (68.11 x 111.81 x 74.02 in) are clearly incorrect, likely the result of a unit conversion error. Check the official Klipsch website or the current Amazon product page for accurate physical dimensions before planning your speaker placement.
