    So ive been taking care of my grandparents for alittle over a year now. And the evenings have been the most difficult, due to grandpas sundowners and dementia. Anyway, i have been doing alot of repairs and remodeling throughout the house and electronics ect. Slowly but surely. Anyways, i recently purchased a couple sets of these and been having movie nights every evening with them and its been a game changer. Our evenings now are enjoyable and much easier due to grandpas stuff.. they sound amazing, and soon will be getting a sub and surround sound..

    Kissing Klipsch Sounds

    Great sound. Klipsch is always at the top. Knocking out all the mid to high frequencies with class. I'm pushing it with a 30 year old Carver system and the sounds are coming out crisp and clean. With the 12" subwoofer working with it, I'm getting some great sound from top to bottom.

    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

    I have these paired with a yamaha reveiver and a klipsch 121sw for listening to music and after some adjustments I trully enjoy how they sound. The music comes out very clear sounding. Some might like a warmer tone, but i was going for clarity. They have achieved this. I do not feel the horns screaming at me like some critize klipsch for, even at high volumes. Some listening fatigue at higher volumes, when I had the sub dialed up a little too high. As for home theather use, I have them setup with a polk audio as a center and two JBL’s as rears. Very good sound accuracy and a great low end with the sub pairing. You feel the rumble.

    speaker sound good at medium push from amplifier. Designed seem done very well. I don't know why they call it a Bookshelf speaker very heavy and tall. I would recommend but keep in mind other than using a stand or well built shelf will be hard to mount on a wall due to heavy weight of speaker.

    Very nice full range speakers. Pair them with a good subwolfer and you have excellent sound for music, tv, etc. Low distortion with crisp highs. I would make sure to align with a system with like power output to avoid overdriving the. I put them on stands to bring the sound at my desired listening levels. Overall a mid priced and performing set of speakers.
