A: AnswerIdeally the speakers should be placed at a height in which the top horn is close to eye/ear level (this will ensure optimal imaging of the sound).

Must buy product!
I got these to replace my old Boston T830 floor standing speakers in my bedroom. The Klipsch bookshelf speakers sounded much clearer with greater detail, and have decent bass for such a small speaker. I mate these with a Klipsch R-30 center and a 12" MK sub, hooked up to a Denon AVR-S570BT receiver. The Denon is 70W per channel with loudness up to 99. I have only had this system up to 55 and that is very loud with excellent sound reproduction.

Premium quality and sound by Klipsch
These are my first pair of Klipsch bookshelves after owning JBL, Infinity, Pioneer, Jamos, and many others. First, the looks is stunning and quite vintage...I love it! Second, 92 db sensitivity means they are very efficient and weasy to drive! I've tried them with my vintage Pioneer receivers and even a 16w Kenwood with no problems turning it up! This new R-50M are not fatiguing as previous models and has a wider wave guide. I play records and prefer a warmer sound of gud 'ol classic rock, intrumentals, country, 80's pop and metal so my music range is quite varied. These speakers sound very detailed as well as offer a gud amount of punch. While not audiophile qulaity levels, they will satisfy just about anyone's music taste...and stay on budget! If you want beautiful looks as well as competent performance, these are worth a look. I've been pleasantly surprised at the sound quality and should get better after a "break-in" period. These are a "keeper" for me!
