    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.

    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 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!

    I used these to replace the side front speakers for my TV, replacing Polk T-15s (whick became my rear speakers). the upgrade is tremendous! Fabulous sound for the price!

    These look nice and the price is ok they just seem to sound better if you have an amplifier to power them which is a little inconvenient for such small bookshelf speakers

    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.

    Wow, what a steal! I got these open boxed for an amazing price! I've always liked Klipsch products. The R500 & R600s are much better, but these still sound fantastic. I highly recommend, especially if you can get them on sale.

    In other words they look and sound amazing. I am actually using them for front left and right in a smaller room and they sound and look great. I keep the grills off.

    detailed sound with strong highs and clean mids, making it great for medium sized rooms. Bass is decent but after getting a sub it sounds amazing, and it’s a great value for the price.
