    Great bang for the buck. At low, normal, and loud volumes sound is very good and well balanced. Going to very loud the become a bit thin and pesky.

    I bought these as my rear surround speakers and they are so amazing I just kept them as my front two speakers until I can afford the r-36 tower speakers. Very crisp sound from the tweeter and combined with the klipsch 300 watt 10" sub they are perfect for any normal sized room for music and movies.

    These speakers sound great. Klipsch always makes an incredible set of speakers. These make big sound for a relatively inexpensive price.

    Good sounding speaker. I only use it to listen to music in my man cave. Needed a smaller book shelf type of speaker and it was perfect.

    I already own klipsch speakers and bought these for a 9x12 bedroom hooked up to a Yamaha rx-v673 with 2 klipsch kg4's. Man oh man, crisp and clean. The kg4's give it the low end and the klipsch reference speaks give it the crisp powerful high end sound I wanted and I listen to rock and roll

    I actual bought this to use as an ATMOS speaker. Works great and half the cost. I have 2 RF28 towers, 4 R-15M bookshelf, 440 center and 2 12" subs all from Klipsch and the sound is so impressive. It is drive by a 1400 watt Pioneer Elite Receive (200w) per channel. WOW!!!

    We have been looking for speakers that give the best bang for their buck and ended up getting these Klipsh speakers with two towers and a subwoofer. We couldn't have asked for a better sound for our home audio system. I HIGHLY recommend these speakers to anyone that is in the market.

    I purchased these to replace my 15 year old Polk towers with dual 6.5" woofers. The R-15M seems to be more efficient (they are louder at the same volume level) than my older speakers. The tweeter is bright (in a good way), vocals are clear and the bass is sufficient for their size.

    Bought these because one of my 4 home theater in a box speakers blew after 10 years. Used these up front to match rest of Klipsch system, they match the rest perfectly. A little bigger than I expected based on web pictures, but overall they look and sound good.

    I purchased these as a birthday gift for my wife. I was completely blown away when I heard the sound. Amazing clarity & covered from the basement to the third floor! Felt like a surround sound system throughout the house. It feels like I'm standing in a nightclub.

    These are the clearest, cleanest sounding bookshelf speakers I've ever owned. I paired these with a 10-inch 100w sub and wow! It's the perfect stereo setup for my large family room. I don't blast the volume, but at the levels I listen, these are perfect. I love Klipsch products.

    I have a smallish man cave with my video setup. These speakers are great for the left and right front speakers. They were a snap to set up with my Denon receiver. The wifely-unit thought I was spending far too much, but the quality of the sound output is well worth it.

    These replace some small Yamaha theater speakers that just sound flat without the subwoofer that goes with them. My Denon receiver does not output to the subwoofer in stereo mode for my turntable. The Klipsch speakers are much better and still work very well in theater mode.
