    I've been a Klipsch fanboy for a long time now and these sound pretty dang good. I use them as rear surround speakers so I'm not sure how well they'd do as front speakers. But, it's definitely something I'd encourage anyone to try if they can't afford the R-28F or R-26F

    I had gone to Best Buy on Black Friday since I had to come into town that day. I planned on purchasing a different set of speakers to go with my new system, but when I saw these Klipsch speakers at a really good price, I paused to find reviews on my phone. That moved me to buy these; I have not been disappointed. Plenty of volume for my needs, and good sound.

    Upgraded to these Klipsch speakers and completed the setup by buying the center speaker, do it you will not be disappointed! The speaker sound is fantastic, very full and rich and they're able to play loud without any distortion

    Great center channel speaker; currently being used in my 5.1 setup connected to a DENON amplifier. Even with a mere 100W powering this sub, it is loud and extremely clear (even with energy savings setting turned on from my amplifier). I would recommend purchasing!

    I purchased a pair of these speakers along with an Onkyo receiver to replace my old surround sound-in-box set up in my medium-sized living room. Eventually, I will buy the rest of the speakers from the Klipche's Reference series to achieve the surround sound experience. For now, these bookshelf speakers are excellent on their own. They get very loud and are extremely clear at any volume level. I can't wait to get the center channel, surrounds, and sub to complete the setup.

    Nice upgrade from lower quality speakers. Using these as front speaker in a home cinema. I will upgrade soon to larger Klipsch and use these as rear surrounds. However for small to medium size rooms these work well.

    You will need a pre amp for your turntable.

    I got these speakers online during black Friday and was thrilled because I had been wanting to upgrade the speakers for my turntable. But when they arrived I discovered that you can't connect them to a turn table without a pre amp. I very sadly returned them since I had been dying to get some Klipsch speakers. Even though I didn't get to hear them, their reputation precedes them and I know that had I not needed a pre amp...they would have sounded great.

    I have a Onkyo hometheater with standard Onkyo speakers, and decide to change to a slight bigger speakers. The sound quality has improved a lot, gad I did it. The speakers sounds nice, and if you set well the frequency cut, the speakers have a nice medium/bass response.

    I had wanted to up grade my bookshelf speakers for some time now. I have done just that with the purchase of the Klipsch - Reference 5-1/4 Bookshelf Speakers. Great high range and the bass is right on time!

    I use these speakers with a set of Klipsch tower speakers and a Yamaha receiver. Pros: - Solid Construction - Excellent Highs - Great Mids Cons: - Not too much bass, but that is to be expected with a bookshelf speaker. I use with sub so no big deal.

    Great speakers at at reasonable price

    I decided to upgrade my current Polk Audio system because it seemed like my 12” sub was losing its punch after having the system for roughy five years. I decided to go with these copper woven Klipsch speakers after reading all the great reviews on the net and I’m glad I did. These speakers sound awesome and they look great to boot. I spent roughly $1300 on a 5.1 system which isn’t chump change but I knew I wanted good stuff so I had to pay for it. The floor standing speakers sound so nice that they even provide a very good amount of bass on their own. Couple them to the 10” sub and things start really shaking in my house. The center channel has me hearing voices in certain movies that I never heard with my previous Polk Audio system. All in all this is one sweet system that I know I will enjoy for several years.

    Have these along with the Klipsch Surround set and a Bose center channel hooked up to a Onkyo TX SR444 audio receiver. Awesome rich sounding horn blowing power. Would highly recommend Klipsch speakers to be a part of your home theater setup.

    Bought these for our mountain cabin so we could plug our music devices (iPhone/Pods) into amp for better sound than Bluetooth speakers. They are great! Positioned them on top of cabinets and with vaulted ceiling, we get greatt sound upstairs and down.

    Using these as rear surround speakers. I'm pretty sure they would hold up just fine for front stage. Happy with the quality.

    Bought an entire 5.1 surround last Black Friday and blasted the volume all year long. Same deal this year, so got another set of these to finish my 7.1. Great sound and quality design. Been with Klipsch for years. Buy, buy, buy.
