Customer Ratings & Reviews

These speakers sound great. The bass and treble sounds really rich. I would recommend these without hesitation.

I needed new surrounds to replace my old JBL HLS set. These are compact and clear. Best choice I've made.

I have 4 of these speakers in my bonus room that is 21*21. They are set as my rear speakers in a 7.1 system. I have a Yamaha RX-A750 receiver, with Klipsch Reference RC-62-II Center speaker, Klipsch Reference RF-62 II front speakers, Klipsch Reference R-12SW Subwoofer, and four of these Reference 5-1/4 Bookshelf Speakers on the rear. I originally had my old speakers on the rear and they were getting overpowered by a lot by the Klipsch front speakers. I could barely hear them at all. So I bought four of the 5-1/4 shelf speakers. They pair perfectly with the rest of the Klipsch speakers. I have them mounted on 30" Sanus speaker stands which really allows the sound to travel through the room. I've had friends and family over and their reaction is usually just WOW! Klipsch just so perfectly brings the treble, bass, and the mids to life. Music is just so powerful. Movies are surreal. I highly recommend these speakers to anyone wanting to round out their 5.1 or 7.1 system. Just on their own they would be very excellent speakers.

worth the money, expensive but sound quality shows when you are using it, and easy to wire and set up

I got the speakers a couple of months ago,at first i wasn't too sure about them,they sounded good but not THAT good,then i read where you have to break speakers in...keeping that in mind as time went on the sound got better and better...my next purchase will be a Klipsch center speaker and another sub. Great products!!

sounds excellent! i use them for my surrounds. easily worth the price, best bookshelfs i heard in a long time.

These speakers are pretty good but they are very treble heavy and when not configured right, on their own, can give you listening fatigue. These speakers need to be pared with a good powerful subwoofer that can balance the harsh loud tweeter sounds. The ideal setup of these speakers is a 5.2 setup where you have these as the rear surround speakers, have the matching tower speakers for front left and right, and the matching center channel with two 10 or 12 inch subwoofers.. that setup will really give them good overall performance. Alternatively you can look into brands like Polk or Definitive Technology.

Great size, compliments with my other speakers, esp watching movies with great sound effects

I searched hard looking for these speakers knowing I had very limited space in a tiny Studio Apartment. The size was just perfect. They aren't the smallest or cheapest bookshelves you can buy, but BOY do they sound AMAZING. Bright, crisp, clear, Articulate and plenty of balanced sound for my space. I see these working well also in a small bedroom, or home office as well. One might be forgiven to that there's not enough Bass due to their modest size, however, I've been very please with the Accuracy of their articulate detailed sound. The quality of music played from a good source is simple astounding! In fact, I loved them so much, I went back and bought a second pair. The Klipsch value vs. cost is up front second to none. Eventually, Ill find a way to utilize them in a small, modest home Theatre with the R-25C center and the new, small R-8SW sub for movies. The TV will get hung up on the wall, but I'm sure I'll be very pleased.

Love these speakers and the price was just right. Room now has sounds like a theater.

Went searching for a new set of "front speakers" for a modest Home Theater setup. The Klipsch 5 1/4 Reference Speakers have exceeded my expectations. I'll replace the remaining speakers with similar Klipsch speakers as time and dollars permit.

Beautiful speakers and a full and deep sound. Great value for the size and cost.

These speakers sound great, the looks are what speakers were meant to look like, outstanding value!

Bought a pair of these and a receiver to replace a mini system. These speakers sound fantastic. They have great bass, mids and highs. Would recommend these to anyone. I have been a fan of Klipsch for a long time and these speakers do not disappoint.

excellent sound, powerful. bought the whole set, very satisfied for the price.

I really like these speakers. They sound great for their size and for their price. I bought them at a discount price. I would not buy them at their full price. They do not have a good bass, but I have a 12'" sub for this. The highs and mediums are great.

Great sound and perfect size. these speakers were a perfect addition to my home theatre.

Great speakers for my home theater system. Bought 8 total for two different rooms, 4 in each room. Awesome sound in either room. One room with onkyo receiver. Other room has yamaha receiver. Both rooms have center channel speakers and subwoofers. Great for movies, TV shows, and vinyl. These replaced bose 301 series V speakers in both rooms. Better sound dispersion and louder at the same volume setting than the bose. I am a long time klipsch owner. Bought a pair of the klipsch forte 2 floor standing speakers about thirty years ago, and still use them in my garage system. Klipsch speakers sound awesome and are a great value, especially when they are on sale at Best Buy.

These are great speakers whether for music or movies. Great for the price and great quality.

Despite their small size, these speakers deliver a nice, balanced full-range of sound. Predictably, the only thing missing is deep bass. That was remedied with the addition of a Klipsch powered subwoofer. I'm using these speakers in a 550 sq foot room with 14' ceiling. With the subwoofer, and a 50w/channel receiver the total sound package is very satisfying with music from classical to progressive metal!
