The third generation of Klipsch's award-winning premium Reference Premiere 500M II Speaker features new, larger proprietary Tractrix horn technology to improve high-frequency response and extension, while enhancing imaging and dynamics. Klipsch signature copper Cerametallic woofers with aluminum faraday rings and Tractrix ports provide powerful low frequencies while minimizing distortion and maximizing efficiency. Sleek cabinet design details exude refinement and luxury with enhanced cabinet bracing, aluminum binding posts, cat aluminum feet, and discrete Dolby Atmos connections that allow for easy and refined elevation speaker integration.

  • Increased horn size: A new, larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
  • New cerametallic woofers: The 5.25” cerametallic woofers have been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.
  • LTS titanium diaphragm tweeter: The exclusive linear travel suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance.
  • 2-way speaker system: Sounds like 1 source rather than several separate sources.
  • Advanced cabinet design: Additional bracing and a divided cabinet have been added to minimize cabinet resonances and vibrations, for the utmost transparency and clarity.
  • Removable grille: Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
  • Furniture grade materials and finishes: Finishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch resistant finish.
  • Improved input panel: Featuring audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.
  • 50Hz - 25kHz frequency response: Ensures a wide range of accurately reproduced sound.
  • 92dB sensitivity: Ensures crisp, robust audio.
  • 8 ohms nominal impedance: Ensures efficient conduction of power through the speaker.
  • Tractrix ports: Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports in the main channel allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
  • Bi-wiring and Bi-amping capability: Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities separate high and low-frequency current into different speaker cables, reducing distortion for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for customization using outboard crossovers when using separate amplifiers.
  • Vented tweeter design: The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
  • Cork pads: Cork pads replace rubber bumpers for security on a stand or table.

Q: Hello! Can you tell me what's the difference between the Klipsch Reference Series R-50-M II and the Klipsch Premiere Dual RP-500M-II bookshelf speakers? Seems quite a difference in price for the same 2 way configuration. I like my music and films loud!

A: There will be a few notable differences between these two models. The R-50M II features an Aluminum tweeter and a copper-spun TCP woofer, while the RP-500M II features a Titanium tweeter and a Cerametallic woofer. This difference will mean that the RP-500M II will be able to produce more detail in the audio reproduction of music and movies. Another difference will be that the RP-500M II has a deeper cabinet which will translate to more cabinet resonance and a deeper bass response.

  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Nice sound in a small package

    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.

    Model number literally displayed under item name

    Great speakers from a great company. Just had to post this to counter the other review from someone who must be blind and trying to read text from their phone screen.
