    Replaced cheap speakers with these. Would not have purchased had they not been on sale but price was right so got these instead of sound bar system. Sound is terrific. Very happy with them. Recently purchased matching sub that was also on sale. Think I may stay with this brand for a while. Looking forward to seeing how they sound after break in when I can crank the volume.

    It's been 15 years since I've updated my stereo system. I'm not an audiophile but I do have a decent ear and wanted a system that would last me another 15 years. I was concerned spending what felt like a pretty significant amount of money. Based on price point, performance, reputation and a few other factors I did a 5.1 Klipsch Reference system with a Denon receiver. IT'S FANTASTIC!! I didn't realize how far behind my old system was. The equipment I'm coming from isn't a fair comparison. If you're upgrading from anything more than a few years old, or lower quality, it's so unlikely you'll be disappointed. I was concerned about versatility across music, movies, sports, etc. It handles of all of them wonderfully. So pleased with this purchase. I chose the 12" subwoofer over the 10" as I have a larger room and tall ceilings. If you listen to music the larger woofer is a great addition. Very glad I upgraded. I also did the 28" towers. I figured I could always reduce back the bass if it became too much but if the system lacked I would be swapping out speakers and that would get expensive. They're fantastic together. Towers would be great on their own but really come alive with the center channel and woofer. One downside is the speaker boxes are NOT scratch resistant. I set a cardboard box on the subwoofer and it has 2 big scratches down the top already.

    We loved our corner Klipsch horn speakers (purchased 30+ years ago) so much that we gave these small Klipsch shelf speakers a try when setting up our surround sound. These gems deliver excellent sound in a small package. My one complaint is that the speaker finish is too sensitive... they are easily scratched. Plan on placing these and leaving them alone, as even wiping off a piece sawdust left a scratch on the black finish. Five stars for the sound performance and two stars for the finish = overall four star rating.

    This is a decent speaker to fill up a large living area that won't break the bank. It works for me for watch TV. It may not be as clear as other klipsch models. I have this on my pioneer receiver with 75 watts per channel.

    I purchased this speker to complete my set. I had purchsed the front center and subs earlier and found them to be excellent. The sound from these speakers was both rich and clear, with the ability to capture both explosions and subtle ambient sounds with equal ability. I would definitely recommend these speakers to anyone looking for a pair of surround speakers.

    I have been waiting all year for these to go on sale. I purchased a pair of B-20 speakers last year and liked them so much that I wanted another pair. Love the sound out of these B-15's. Crisp and clear. These speakers are a great general use speaker and were an excellent buy at $125 for the pair. I may get another set next year if the option presents itself
