Klipsch RP-500M Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Ebony)

Fantastic speaker - currently using it as my surround back and it’s marvelous

Great monitors in my studio. Mid and Highs sing! Bass, its a 5 1/4 driver, you didnt get these to shake the walls. A subwoofer would make this pair nearly perfect.

Over all performance is good for the size my problem with these speaker like all Klipsch speaker is they have no high end yes there have bass for the size but there not very clear. I have book shelf speakers that are 35 years old that sound better. I love the way way there built and look I just think they need to be clearer. This is my second set of bookshelf and I didnt use either one of them.

Dislikes: A-1) neighbors complain that music is too loud. A-2) neighbors trying to break in my apartment to steal my speakers A-3) sounds so good that Im pissed at myself for not being loyal to Klipsch and buying these when they first arrived A-4) seller cant ship bigger size speakers to Hawaii so had to get the smaller RP-150M. and still neighbors complain its too loud at 3:00a.m. in the morning. What is wrong these folks nowadays they have like a cats super hearing??? Likes: B-1) better detail and treble than my monitor audio speakers. The background instruments, voices, and goodies is definitely there no guessing if Im hearing things B-2) running ONKYO receiver that is neutral sounding. Klipsch adds the treble and brightness that I grew up on and love. B-3) to my ears it sounds like ONKYO receiver is feeding these bookshelfs 50 watts per channel r.m.s. at 8 ohms. Im ordering amplifier to juice these babies up. But, but, but it already sounds so, so, so, so, so, so good as is. B-4) designed and engineered in America by Americans but made overseas because they have tiny hands and fingers better suited to work with delicate manufacturing parts

This pair of speakers is the final part of my home theater/ 7 Channel audio system. The quality of sound produced by all of their speakers working together is astounding. The word Synergy on their sturdy and protective delivery boxes is not hype or overstatement. The system is exponentially greater than the mere sum of its parts. I couldnt be more pleased. Theres no question about it. KIlipsch makes excellent speakers. I love them! And theyre GORGEOUS!!
