    I needed to replace some old speakers. The choice was between the Polk bookshelf speakers and the Klipsch. After listening to both, I decided on the Klipsch. These are great bookshelf speakers and I would not hesitate recommending them.

    I upgraded my whole system. New 4k tv, 4k receiver, 4k blue ray player. It would not be complete without adding these bookshelf speakers and the 2 12 subs. I wanted to get the floor speakers but they just would not fit in the space we had available. These speakers were more than enough for what i needed. they sound great

    These speakers were a snap to install. They produce more sound volume than the larger speakers they replaced.

    Added this to our dedicated movie room. THis fills the room with needed audio. I placed these two book shelve speakers in the read of our movie room and mounted them on the side walls. It definatley delivers audio as intended while playing back a blue-ray movie or watching a sporting event.

    I was in the market for a respectable pair of book shelf speakers to complete my 7.2 surround setup. I have the Magnolia 5.1 speaker package, so I'm using these as the main front drivers. Of course this is for a bedroom application so these will perform well and should exceed my expectation.

    The Klipsch R14M speakers were a backup plan when they didn't have the speakers we wanted for our rear surrounds. They ended up being a blessing that the others were out of stock. They sound great and should have been on our A-List.

    I have a small living room and upgraded Yamaha front speakers that came as surround all-in-one system, with these after already replacing the center speaker with Klipsh, as well. These fill up the room with quality sound. Added the 12" sub and I have to be careful not to offend the neighbors.

    I own two pairs of these small, strong speakers. I bought Onkyo loudspeakers cheap, SKF 4800 but they weren't like front speakers from the past until I added the Klipsch's. I use the 2nd pair on their own with my old audiophile Kinergetics and it works. These little Klipsch's deliver a lot of bang for the buck.

    These sound great. I bought two sets: one for our media room and another for our main living area. The media room is mainly TV and gaming. The main living area is mostly music. Sound quality is amazing no matter where we are in the room / house - these monitors fill the space.

    To round out the review it bought 2 sets of these speakers 1 for the front set and the other for the surround. Coupled with the subwoofer and center channel this is a great system the sound is outstanding. If you are going to purchase a mid price speaker system you will not go wrong with this system!

    I bought a pair of these to go with my Sony STR-DH550 surround receiver and 48" Samsung 4k HD LED TV. These are my first Klipsch products and I am impressed. Klipsch makes a very quality product with an appealing design and the sound is accurate, crisp and reasonable in tone delivery (not too harsh and just right for a tv experience.) These speakers have very good power handling and sound great even at high volume levels. (no distortion) These are an entry level Klipsch product but thats not saying what you would normally think, they perform very well and are part of a company's product range that can be as high $1,600+. These speakers got me into Klipsch products for sure, im always checking out their products online. BestBuy only offers a few options for bookshelf speakers. I have had the Sonys, they have a more "fat", "soft" and "ultra natural" sound. The Klipsch are a little more "crisp" and "deliver" a little more. Listen to all your options before buying but you really can't get a better speaker for the $.

    Small but producing exceptional tonal quality and depth. Just make sure you connect them to the appropriate channel when using a muti-channel amp, especially if using them in a non surround-sound configuration. Connecting them to the center channel instead of the front resulted in much better sound.

    Paired with a decent receiver, tower speakers, booming subwoofer and high quality speaker wire, these speakers offer great surround sound ability. The mids are crisp and the highs are not distorted, which is important with surround sound. Great design and hefty but not heavy with solid build quality.

    Very happy with these, once we were able to get the right connections to hook them up. Easily better sound than my much larger 20 year old Technics 2 way speakers. Good bass response, good range. Maybe if you're an audiophile, you'll want something better - but for music and movies, this does us fine.
