    Very good for the price, but not very resolving. The details in the music are hidden, but the dynamics are saved. Good rock and roll speaker.

    I've been a Klipsch owner for about twenty years (same speakers too). I saw a new line of bookshelf speakers and knew immediately that I was IN !!! My floor model speakers still work perfectly so I gave someone a great Christmas gift !!!

    I did my research and some reviewers recommended this for rear speaker. Because the sound is crisp clear and it's compact. But for me, I'm going to use this for Left and Right speaker. I tested it and I love it! And I might pair it with R52C center speaker and a separate Subwoofer soon.

    Great sound as stated by many reviews. I plan to add a sub woofer to my system to hopefully fill my 24 X 20 high ceiling room with a higher volume of sound.

    Great sound from a small speaker.They do need break in time for the woofers to come to life like most Klipsch speakers,

    Great bookshelf speaker. Good soundstage. If you close your eyes they essentially disappear. I did add a Klipsch sub to give these a little more bass and could not be happier with the combination being powered by a Yamaha integrated amp. Highly recommended.

    I had large floor standing speakers that my wife hated. I play CDs through a vintage Pioneer amp. Tube amps have a richer sound and the speakers work very well

    This Pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers is paired with a pair of late 70”s Klipsch LaScala speakers. They are used as surround sound application for digital pipe organ. The dynamic rage is fantastic.
