    Great dynamics and clarity. Blends perfectly with the matching center channel. Klipsch is the way to go for home theater :-)

    Klipsch Speakers

    The Reference 5-1/4 Bookshelf Speakers just work. I am using these speakers as my rear surround speakers in a 5.1 system. I am also will using them as a portable stereo speakers via a Monoprice amp which has bluetooth capability and sub out. The best results from any speakers comes from a clean music source and then have a clean amp. I prefer a Crown Pro Digital amp - great sound stage and the speakers come alive, best results come with an additional subwoofer which the Monoprice amp has. Either way I would recommend these speakers, Klipsch are normally very "bright" but these are not overly bright, overall some sort of sub woofer adds to the listening experience for stereo usage

    I had a 7 speaker Klipsch system but did not have speakers in the back of my room. I added these and I can tell you the sound is absolutely incredible. Great speakers for the money

    These speakers are clear and crisp sounding and aesthetically appealing hanging on the wall as part of the entertainment system. I’m so happy I added them to my Sub woofer purchase.

    I replaced some small speakers with these in my 7.1 system: Unbelievable what a difference. The only minus would be the size, but I guess you can oversee that in order for a great sound experience

    Underwhelmed

    Despite getting these half-price, they are painfully underwhelming. I've always enjoyed the sound of Klipsch speakers and expected these to perform. Unfortunately, they don't, they severely lack highs playing disks, streaming music and satellite radio. I've considered retirning them, but, ironically, they seem to balance with a Dif Tech CP1000 center speaker and I've gotten used to the sound, though there isn't anything resembling 'stereo', but, a wall of sound.

    They have fantastic sound and balanced sound. The highs and lows compliment each other nicely. Was a little skeptical about the size but true to Klipsch, they outperform my expectations. Well worth the money!

    I really like the sound that comes from this set of speakers. I am much more familiar with Sony's name and reputation than Klipsch. Meaning that I am building a knowledge about Klipsch brand.

    I needed to upgrade my desktop speakers. These were highly rated so I bought a pair. I couldn’t be happier. I do have a sub hooked up with them and that picks up the low end .

    Using these speakers as rear speakers for my 5.1 setup and they do make a difference compared to my bose soundbar. You get loud clear sound without pushing too much to it.

    Klipsch is the best bang for your buck. These things might look small on the outside, but the sound like floor standing speakers. I don't think I'll ever buy a different brand again.

    I have been so impressed with these speakers; combined with smaller mounted speakers and the bedroom sound is incredible... Larger room? Add the floor standing Klipsch and be blown away.

    I love the sound of the klipsch speakers. Music is full of detail and energy. Build quality is questionable one the speaker blew the woofer already. I have the speaker connected to a velodyne subwoofer and to a Yamaha receiver 7.2. Great sound for movies. I used the speaker as front left and right. Great sound for jazz music
