    These speakers fit in so well with our current set up it's hard to say anything negative. A good fit for a small home system!

    With the klipsch subwoofer and center channel speakers, this is a great quality surround sound system without causing a huge hole in my pocket. Really enjoy watching action, SciFi movies with this system at home.

    They have a really good range and overall sound quality. Maybe a bit bassey for some, but they fit the music I like. Build quality is also rather impressive.

    Very clear, big sound from a small package. I had big old clunky B&W speakers that finally died, and I thought I'd miss the subwoofers but I don't.

    Good thing DO come in small packages! Small, but Mighty sound! TheseBookshelf Speakers sound bigger than they look. Bold,Crist, Clean and unapologetic sound delivered from these babies. Klipsch has a 70+ year Heritage and reputation of Being The Great American Speaker company. I'd heard that a lot before I bought. These little Beauties are a keeper. Don't expect big , pounding, thumping bass. These speakers really shine in clarity and clean definition in a small room or intimate setting. I bought 4 total and they fill my bedroom with pure sonic bliss.

    I recently decided to invest in a new theater system and these speakers were one of the last purchases. After a lot of research and floor demonstrations I knew I wanted a Klipsch speaker systems so these fit the goal from the start, but I was not prepared for the awesome range and power handling they offered. I even love the look of the speaker so much that since they are mounted higher I do not keep the screen on them when I am showing off the system.

    I bought these to use as bookshelf speakers for the vintage vinyl (80s gear) system in my listening room. They sound nice but are sorely lacking in low bass energy. The bass is there but there's no chance it'll punch you in the gut. Subwoofer seriously needed for that purpose. Now, for the good part...I took my Klipsch towers that were being used as the L / R speakers in my home theater setup and moved them to the listening room. Put these where they were. There's already an 18 inch JBL sub in there that'll shatter the neighbors' windows. I set the crossover on the amp higher than before...set it to send everything under 110hz to the sub...and now these little speakers shine! Crystal clear, good imaging. They're well built and very attractive (especially with the grills off). My only disappointment is the "Made in China" sticker on the back. WPK would likely not approve of his ideas being mass produced by the lowest bidder...it's hard to find anything that isn't these days though.

    I placed these speakers in a fairly small den. The volume is more than adequate. The sound quality is very good, too. These speakers are not part of a surround sound system, so I can't attest to how they would sound in that arrangement. but I am quite satisfied with them.

    A great speaker for the size (especially when you get for half off!) Using for rear surrounds as well as up firing Atmos speakers.

    I really wanted to use my larger Klipsch towers in the media room, but the layout and built-in shelves made them a less than optimal choice. Never needing an excuse to buy more speakers, I took some measurements and bought these based on reputation and a few reviews. I've had these for awhile and am definitely pleased. They mesh well with my existing Mirage sub and provide great clarity to music and voices in movies.

    I have a small sewing room and my old 70's style monster speakers were simply too large plus the bass cone sections had rotted in spots. I purchased larger Klipsch speakers on Black Friday 2015 sale for our medium size family room and the sound is awesome so based on quality sound I decided to buy book shelf speakers on Black Friday 2016 sale. For small speakers sound is excellent. I have an old Pioneer receiver that I connected these to and sound is great. Can't wait to connect awesome vintage turn table to hear classic 70's vinyls as I sew.
