Customer Ratings & Reviews

I finally completed my Klipsch 5.1 surround system. I really appreciate the clarity of the Tractrix horns. The bass is punchy and tight. The design is classic and modern at the same time. I love these speakers!

Good clean sound from a small speaker box. They also look pretty cool and are easy to hang on the wall.

I bought these for our bedroom for TV (internal speakers horrible) and music. Due to the very short stand on the TV, I couldn't put a soundbar in front of it and didn't want to mount the TV or soundbar to the wall. These speakers fit the bill (optical input, Bluetooth, remote operation). Music sounds good through them. The highs aren't particularly crisp but are natural. The midrange is very good and the low end is surprisingly good considering the size of the speakers. The bass is punchy and clean but definitely isn't going to shake the walls though, for most music, it's fine. Hip Hop, EDM, and other bass-heavy music are not going to be done justice with these but what do you expect from a small bookshelf speaker? There is little to no distortion even at max levels.

Great full speaker sound when you have limited space. Sounds fantastic with Apple's new spatial music. Great lows and highs.

great sound for the price. crisp highs; should pair with a subwoofer. great size, big enough for power; small enough not to be obtrusive. bought a second pair

These speakers are superb , great sound quality and powerful. Bass is very impressive on its own by I am using with a subwoofer. Easy to set up and I've been playing guitar through them on the aux input.

Fantastic sound and epic feedback as always from the reference and reference premiere lines! Always recommend and audition the surround for all my friends and family. Thanks

I replaced my Sony Core Series with these as Left and Right mains, and I have to say, for the price (I got these on sale) I couldn't be happier. They have a fuller sound somehow, its somewhat difficult to explain. Coming from Sony, which seems to have lost some of the roundness of the sound, especially for jazz music, I feel like I can hear that roundness now. I'm not an audiophile or even super wild about audio fidelity, but I do really enjoy having these speakers because they sound far far better than most budget or mid tier speakers I've heard. If you can find them on sale, I recommend it. These would also be great as satellite surround speakers because they will fit in most areas due to the size.

I love these speakers!! Great sound throughout my house!

The sound is exactly if not better than what you would expect From speakers in the same category. Clean, clear sound , the highs are on point, mid and bass are in my opinion excellent as well. Great value for the money.

Much louder than you would think. Klipsch sound and build. Great surround speakers or mains in a little room. Can't go wrong for under 150.

After plugging these into my ARCAM amp with my subwoofer disconnected - I asked myself why I waited so long to get a pair of Klipsch speakers. These sound fantastic for their size, and they provide ample bass, but bass-freaks need not apply, you'll need a subwoofer. Only thing about these speakers is the higher frequencies seem to be more accentuated... a quick look-up says its related to the horn design of the tweeter... I happen to like the way this configuration sounds, but it might not be to everyone's liking. The construction of the speakers are great and the removable magnetic grill is a neat design feature.

Best speakers ever!!! this little babies were on sale for 216.99 and I could not let pass the opportunity to buy them. i am a sound lover and this brand specifically offers and delivers the best sound out there. I plugged this speakers to my receiver and started the listening process. clear, crisp and loud. I love the fact that with only 2 speakers is enough to make noise. love the design and the materials are solid. wood, copper. front speakers look very beautiful without the protective mesh. i removed them so i can see how the pumps of the music moves this speaker. get them and you wont regret them at all.

Great speakers. I have these set up to use as primary’s for my Fluance RT-85 turntable. I went to my local goodwill and found and older Onkyo receiver for $15 that had phono output and hooked these up to it. Played the ol Elton John H. Chateau album and WOW I impressed with these speakers. They take what you throw at them clear, crisp and effortlessly. Crank up the volume?,sure why not. They don’t t blink an eye. Needless to say these are a definite buy if you’re in the market for really nice passive bookshelf speakers.

I think these are great bookshelf speakers for a budget. I combined R41-Ms and R51-Ms for a low-cost surround sound system.

Had JBL Northridge 38ii x4 floorstanding Setup for years.. they sounded great. But these Speakers as surrounds matched with the r-34c and Front speakers the R-820's have enhanced the sound quality. we are hearing more than we did before.. YOU HAVE TO BREAK THESE SPEAKERS IN. i put a hundred hours of movies and music through them and you could hear the sound change.. Now everything is just Beautiful, we can hear some extra background noises on Movies we have seen many times.. Highs are great, has good mids .

These speakers are nothing short of incredible. They are SO WELL balanced! I paired them with the entry level (but also surprisingly great) Sony STR-DH190 and they handle whatever I throw at them better than many, many speakers I heard before in my life. Seriously, if you're looking for something that has no distortion and delivers across the entire spectrum from wonderfully rich bass to the perfectly crisp trebles this is it.

I part time DJ some local clubs. Some are smaller clubs, some are much bigger clubs, and I prefer using an amplifier, over powered speakers. I bought these speakers for the smaller clubs, mainly for reducing how much room my equipment takes up. I set these up with an equalizer, and they deliver a room filling sound that competes with my much larger speakers with bass response to the highest trebles. I've DJ'd 40 years, and I love these speakers!

These are great little speakers. Great sound, enough bass. I have a tiny little cabin and I mostly play vinyl. The set up I had was a bit much for the size, so when my old subwoofer died, I was on the hunt for new speakers that wouldn’t require an added subwoofer. These Klipsch speakers sound excellent in my space, plenty of bass, no need to add a subwoofer. Granted I don’t listen to bass heavy rap, my vinyl ranges from classic rock, country, Sinatra and blues. Very pleased with my purchase.

for the past twenty plus years I have owned about 10 pairs of bookshelf loudspeakers both American and British brands such as Polk audio, Mission, Rogers, Infinity, Cambridge Soundworks, infinity, Epos and recently the Klipsch R-51m which are playing now as I am typing this review. These Klipsch R-51m's outperforms the rest. The bass is surprisingly big from such small enclosures, the midrange is right and the sound coming out is so dynamic that it feels like the performers are right in front of me. I will keep these giant performers for a long long time. ---mike
