Customers frequently mention the tremendous sound quality of the Reference 5-1/4" Bookshelf Speakers, highlighting the excellent bass response and clear highs. Many appreciate the speakers' size and powerful sound for their footprint, finding them easy to set up and aesthetically pleasing. The price point is also frequently cited as a positive aspect.
I bought these to work as my main speakers for now until I can afford to upgrade later on to a set of towers from klipsch. I use a 5.1 channel marantz amp pushing out 180 watts rms per channel. These surprised me. They fill the room very well with sound (especially considering the size). The highs are fairly bright, but sound clear and not overpowering. The lows and midrange actually are strong for the woofer size. They sound and work great, and they look fantastic. They are not as nice as my other jbl 4311 monitors (obviously based on the price) but for the price, they sound amazing in comparison.

I have these two speakers as my front left and right as part of a 5.1 setup. I frequently game/listen to music, but since my listening space isn't particularly large, I had initially went with a simple and cost-effective setup: the Energy Take 5.1 HTIB, paired with an appropriate Yamaha receiver to go with my 42" 1080p Sharp TV. This served well enough for a while, especially as a first step into home theater. Eventually, as I did some more research and after sampling different speakers, I decided to take advantage of the Black Friday deals and upgrade my sound (a selfish Christmas shopping experience, I know). I have always been a fan of Klipsch for their consistency of quality, and these speakers certainly did not disappoint. After hooking them up, I did a test run with some of my favourite dance music and was immediately impressed with the power these babies have--the baseline came through fierce and strong, but not boomy or muffled. Percussive hits were sharp, and vocals were so clear it was as if the artist were singing in the room. Seriously, clarity is where these speakers really shine. When I turned on my PS4 and booted up Uncharted 2, the sounds of the jungles of Borneo enveloped the room; I could hear the footsteps of enemy soldiers splashing through the mucky water so clearly, I scarcely had to look at the screen to pinpoint their locations, and stealth takeouts became a breeze (not to brag, of course). Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. Superb sound for a fairly affordable price--my only complaint is that these speakers now overpower the others in my current setup, and I'm afraid now I'll have to replace them all to match the quality. If you are a beginner in surround-sound gaming and you're looking to take the next step, these are the speakers for you.

Absolutely wonderful speakers very very happy. For the size the speakers are awesome . The clarity from the tweeters and the bass from the Wolfers make this speaker an exceptional purchase for the price for someone on a budget. Connected with a sub woofer the speakers really rock . Whether you are into hip-hop jazz rock country your mouth will drop when you hear the sound these speakers deliver.. I would definitely recommend the speakers .
