    There is a noticeable upgrade in sound and build quality compared to the the older R-51M. Much smoother sound with tighter bass. It is one notch below the previous RP-500M. It's an excellent buy when on sale for $279.00.

    I cannot believe the sound coming from these speakers for their size. Im just using them on a stereo setup without a subwoofer or abything else and they really perform better than I expected! Definitely worth the investment.

    Bought a turntable and wanted bookshelf speakers. Klipsch had a great sale and I'm glad o found this set. I added speaker stands and they sound amazing. I'm no audiophile, but they exceeded my expectations!

    I'm very happy with my purchase. I purchased these to replace a pair from Newmark and Lewis, yes the former was that old and that good, but these are comparable. I would recommend them to a friend.

    The fullest sounding speakers I have ever purchased before I had to use a subwoofer for the lows but that would be expected with a 5-1/4 inch driver on a pair of speakers.

    They sound very good whether you have them turned down low or if you turn the volume up louder than you probably should.

    I am using these as rear surround speakers for my Klipsch home theater, so probably not even pushing them to their limit. That being said they perform great in that role and I love the way they look.

    For the price, size and convenience , they’re awesome. Not a ton of detail/clarity in the upper mids, or in the very low frequencies, but..whatever, they’re not audiophile level speakers. They’re definitely better the Sony speakers that were priced close to these.
