    Good size and easy to set up on stands. The sound is a little more bass heavy compared to my Triangles but I prefer more bass for a tv set up in a big room. Decent price for an open box at the store.

    This is the best speakers for the dollar thatnI have ever purchased , they are a bookshelf speaker and I bought them for my home office (refuge) and I am a big vinyl fan, the sound from these paired with a clean Sony Reciever is as good as it gets for what I wanted ! Thanks Klipsch for making a product worth the money.

    My local store had a pair of these as a open box. Half the price. The box looked like it never been open and still had the original white bags around the speakers. They were a major upgrade frome what i had. Vocals are very clear while playing music and movies and they have very good mid bass. I could talk about them all day. This is a recommended buy in my book.

    While the sound is quite good, it doesn't come up to the sound of my 1976 Tempest Heil loudspeakers. (8" woofers and the Heil radiator horn) I did add the center speaker and a 10" woofer to get closer to the sound....easy hookup for all on my Devon AV

    It's a steal for $200/pair

    Considering i spent $200 for this pair I'd say it's money spent well. It is also apartment friendly if you have that limitstion. The audio is clear and the mid bass carries enough detail to crossover at 80hz with a subwoofer. Highly recommended to add a sub. It also works well as a surround speaker providing details that satellite speakers can't produce.

    We were looking for a good set of bookshelf speakers to use with a small tube amp. What a deal these Klipsch were. The sound is incredible and works great a older Yamaha subwoofer we had laying about. Also, these are in a workshop with terrible acoustics. OUTSTANDING

    The overall directional sound levels and performance are perfect for mid range speakers at an affordable price. I highly recommend these for surround or even tower replacements.

    Klipsch over Kef

    Bought these and the Kef q150's. Set up with a Sony receiver just to play vinyls. I think the Klipsch have a fuller sound and a little more bass. Kef's were crystal clear but I felt didnt have the depth of sound of the Klipsch. Both great speakers for the price (sale price)... R-50Ms just sound better to me!

    This speaker system is awesome. I have a cabinet for the flat screen and sound system. I had big old speakers that were built in, we downsized, and I need two smaller ones to replace the old. These were the perfect fit. Slipped them into the shelf and turned on the surround sound and WOW. These are great you will not be disappointed.

    Having 15 Klipsch speakers from the reference and reference premier series I am really amazed at the changes made to the ll line. The sometimes harsh notes on top are gone, midrange is better, bottom is tight and surprisingly strong for its size. Just a pure pleasure to listen to.
