    These speakers replaced some older ones that had served their time. The clarity is very good and they do not balk when turned up. I would recommend these to anyone.

    Upgraded from the Pioneers pb22s for my two channel TV sound and was happy that I did. The pioneers were very good...the klipschs just had a better treble for tv voices.

    Bought these for my son for Christmas. They integrated well into his surround system, but as stand alone stereo speakers they are lacking in range. A good sub helps.

    I got these to supplement my existing 5.1 system. These are an okay deal and half price, but I would not pay full price for them.

    I had to add a sub to them which I wasn’t planning on doing. But the 2.1 set up sounds great. Speakers by themselves are too bright.

    I know there are better speakers out there, but for the price, you can't beat the R-51Ms. They deliver a great range and clear crisp stereo sound.
