    I've had Klipsch in the past and you can't go wrong with these speakers. These bookshelf little monsters pack a punch in clarity and bass. I was tempting to buy a subwoofer to give it that BOOOM but a after hearing them I didn't need it! If you want quality sound BUY THESE NOW!!

    Amazing sound from such little speakers. Don’t get me wrong they are pretty decent size but the sound from them is monstrous. I will say if you get these you definitely want to get a center channel as well. I didn’t listen when I was told that. When I finally got the center you could definitely tell the difference.

    I could not ask for anymore this surround sound speaker. It is amazing clear, plenty loud and is a perfect match for the R-28's and the 12" subwoofer and the center suggested by Klipsch. You will not be disappointed.

    I thought the speakers are small couldn't decide if I needed floor standing speakers or these book shelves. But great that these speakers are bigger than I expected and sounded is also great. Unless you don't have a strong subwoofer, these speakers are good enough don't need floor bigger speakers.

    It was time to update my home theater speakers. I had been using some Onkyo speakers that were very good quality. They were from an older 5.1 system. These speakers have such amazing sound. Volume and clarity. They are built of high quality parts. Look great with all my other components.

    Swapped out Polk bookshelf speakers (still like my Polk) and huge difference. Clear & crisp sound. Surround sound system never sounded better. Great speakers at a great price. Thanks for having them on sale. Highly recommend.

    Bought these speakers to complete my 7.2 Home Theater and look great sitting on top of the speaker stands I bought. Klipsch speakers sound great and are a great deal at 50% off on Black Friday

    Moved to a smaller home and replaced full sized Athena speakers with these Klipsch bookshelf speakers - and couldn't be happier with the sound. Fantastic sound. If you're doing your homework you'll compare technical specs, reviews, and from there these will probably make your short-list to listen to. I have these working with a large Sony subwoofer, but even with the Sub off... still have decent bass. For TV we often have the sub turned off and are happy with the sound. When watching a movie at a higher volume - I really can not tell a difference between these and larger speakers. Price was unbeatable at Best Buy and arguably far below what they could be marketed at.

    Seriously, I am considering the same thing once my basement is finished. The quality is outstanding and the sound is tremendous. I was happy with Polk, but Klipsch is a step above in every way. Do not hesitate, these speakers offer great bass, treble and mids.

    Bought these for my son for Christmas to upgrade their surround sound system. Speakers are clear and detailed. Significant improvement on previous units. He and his family cannot believe the difference for movies. Great value, especially at the recent sale price.

    I got these on the black Friday sale and are well worth the money. Great sound from a small package. Would work well as main speakers with a powered sub if space or placement of larger main speakers is a concern. Also good choice for surrounds.

    I absolutely love how defined the music sounds with these speakers. As a hearing impaired listener I need crisp highs and really good lows for music to sound good for me and these speakers delivered just what I needed!

    I was so use to having Monitors up front and I actually still do, but I put these up front to test them. I was blown away, these things deliver incredible power. You put the watts to it and they get better and better. Great lows to be such a small little set of speakers, and wonderful highs that are not splashy .I have a pair of SVS book shelf speakers, the PRIMES not the highest end they make but middle of the roaddddddd about 260 bucks each. I ordered them by mistake and got stuck with them.

    These speakers have taken a hard hit from some reviewers; to the point where I felt hesitant to buy at first. But, I did buy them at Best Buy for the sale price of $125 a pair. I bought 2 pair for my 7.1 system. I figure I could always return them if I wasn’t happy. That was 3 days ago and I still have them with no intentions of returning. I’m a musician with years of experience in a recording studio and I’ve adapted a pretty good ear, and my ears say these R-15M’s sound very nice… especially with my Klipsch R-26F floor standing, and R-25C center speakers. The system sounds impressive. I hear a nice balanced blend of frequency dimension in the sound-stage. I am happier than I expected and these speakers added a nice finishing touch to my system.

    Great sound, good price point. I had space limitations and these speakers hit the mark. I did an in store comparison of these, Sony and Bose. Hands down the best sound. Even better when I got them into my living room.

    I bought these speakers for the rear of my setup and am more than pleased. They are loud enough to not be overpowered by my bi-amped klipsch fronts. The extended stereo almost too much now.

    I sampled three different sets of speakers before I bought. Despite their seemingly small size, these speakers fill the room with crisp, clear sound across an excellent range. An great value for the money.
