These are excellent speakers. I have been a big fan of the RP series of bookshelf speakers since they came out. They are dynamic and detailed with great sound stage. The are also very smooth. Give them about 2 weeks to break-in and they will not disappoint. I got them on sale for $389.99. Nothing out there can compare.

Very nice speaker in terms of looks and sound. It is at par in sound to the high end brand I previously bought. Easy to drive, doesn't require long break in periods. It delivers right away. The longer you use the better it gets. Great for small rooms or near field listening. The highs, mids, and lows are satisfactorily good. This speakers are very enjoyable to listen to coming out from the box. This pair is an upgrade to my previous R51M Klipsch which I liked very much. It has the same signature sound but much better and improved. Very good soundstage, when I used branded cables and speaker wires compared to generic ones I installed before which is cheaper of course. I highly recommend this speaker when they go on sale and it is really a good purchase.

Speakers are a bit smaller in size than expected, but they are replacing front speakers I purchased 33 years ago, Altec Lansing. So far they seem to be working fine and match my height speakers, also Klipsch.
