    I made this purchase as an open item. Was bought for use with a turntable but since it is connected to a receiver,i also use these speakers for bedroom tv and added a great sound.

    These speakers are 100% worth the sale price at around $300. Cannot recommend them enough, again- For the price. After auditioning these for a week., I have decided to build my 7.1 system with Klipsch. Can't beat the copper look either.

    There is a noticeable upgrade in sound and build quality compared to the the older R-51M. Much smoother sound with tighter bass. It is one notch below the previous RP-500M. It's an excellent buy when on sale for $279.00.

    I cannot believe the sound coming from these speakers for their size. Im just using them on a stereo setup without a subwoofer or abything else and they really perform better than I expected! Definitely worth the investment.

    Bought a turntable and wanted bookshelf speakers. Klipsch had a great sale and I'm glad o found this set. I added speaker stands and they sound amazing. I'm no audiophile, but they exceeded my expectations!

    I'm very happy with my purchase. I purchased these to replace a pair from Newmark and Lewis, yes the former was that old and that good, but these are comparable. I would recommend them to a friend.

    The fullest sounding speakers I have ever purchased before I had to use a subwoofer for the lows but that would be expected with a 5-1/4 inch driver on a pair of speakers.
