    Bought these for my husband. I like the clean crisp sound but he does not. He is a bass guy and says not enough bass for him. They are for his garage and he was using old Advent speakers that broke.

    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

    First off, let me say that I have been a fan of Klipsch since the mid 70's. (I even Rep'd them in Europe during 79-80) As with many manufacturers through the years, there have been better years than others when it comes to technology, quality, and service. One thing Klipsch has always maintained is the crisp clean natural sound I prefer in my music reproduction. The Reference series delivers just that, and at a very good price point. The synchronization with paired equipment creates a system which is easier to install without the need for paying an outside sound specialist. Whether the setup is for a 2-channel music playback system or an 11.1 theater array you would be hard pressed to create the audio reproduction and spread of this Series at twice the price!

    I have a 5.1.2 system in a large family room. The klipsch are being used for my rear high surround speakers. Plenty of power and base for the room size. Awesome book shelf speakers.

    I have Q Acoustics book shelf speakers in my living room and got these Klipsch for another room. The Klipsch provide a lot of detail and bass is very good, but the vocals don't sound good in my opinion, in my mind the Q Acoustics are a lot better and when I decided to return them it was too late so I have to keep them. Then I started looking into how to improve the sound and came across a company that make kits to improve the sound but there is no kit available for the R50M, the kit usually includes a better sound deadening material so I opened a speaker to take a look at the internals and realized that the Klipsch have a very thin cotton like material, then I decided to replace it with a 1 inch thick that I got from Amazon, what a difference! the sound improve a lot!

    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

    These speakers surprised me on how robust the sound was. I replaced my 60 watt satellites with these bad boys, fired up Monster Hunter and scared the bejezzus out of my neighbors.
