    These speakers sound great in our living room. We listen to a wide range of music from classical, to jazz, to classic rock and original music.

    Incredible speakers for the size. I decided to use them as rear channel speakers instead of left and right channel. Honestly though these are so crisp they compete with my larger more expensive speakers.

    My father kept asking about my home theater system. So I finally broke down and started getting one together for him. This is the best sounding speaker system I've ever heard since I left the house.

    Full disclosure; I’m 70, hearing isn’t the best anymore. I was comparing these to KEF150’s; pricing within $20. I did A/B testing for about 13 days (15 day return). The Klipsch have a nice sound, as do the KEF. It boils down to personal opinion. I could have lived with either. As I had to choose, I picked the KEF. Just thought a little smoother - not as much emphasis on high frequency. You’ll be happy with these.

    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.
