Today I refreshed my home theater setup, with these 5¼" bookshelf speakers for my fronts, a matching center speaker and a matching 12" sub woofer. My old fronts were Boston Accoustoc minis from 1998 and the rest was 20 year old equipment. I'm running them through a Denon X-3711 AVR. After calubration, I started several movies and played about 15 minutes of each. The experience was like being in a theater. These bookshelf speakers are clean and crisp and obviously of high quality. I'm kicking myself for not doing this sooner. I went all-in because my old sub died yesterday and BB had some awesome Black Friday deals! Great product line Klipsch!

Great speakers!!! I use them for my vinyl listening pleasure. The staff here actually helpful!!! In the past they walked past and rarely helped. But recently they have been on their game!!! Thanks guys!!! However, I still hate the 15 day return policy!!! Almost makes me want to go through Amazon.

I listened to a TON of bookshelf speakers when looking at building my media room sound system. I wanted something for my rears and Atmos overheads that were clear, full, and rich. Something that could have easily been my front Left and Right if I didn't go with floor standings....these ARE THOSE SPEAKERS! I wanted that because when listening to music and non-atmos content I could do all-channel stereo or even just pump music from the rear or above if I wanted without losing quality. I can not tell you enough how "WOW" these sound, especially at the price. Way way way above their weight class. Klipsch gets a bad rep sometimes, but a lot of the time is preference also people need to understand speaker break-in, especially with companies like this that would rather have you do the break-in so they can pass the cost saving onto you. Taking on 70 to 100 hours of break-in for premium speakers and a mid-level cost is worth it IMO. They sounded great right away, now that I am about 70 hours of use into these....my goodness the dynamics are something seen closer to audiophile hi-fi speakers, that come in at least double the price. These so far are at least 90% as good as those and less than half the price....common need I say more? 6 stars

These 2-way Klipsch speakers with a subwoofer are enough to fill my vaulted ceiling main room with music. I mounted them on speaker stands to give them some presence in the room. I turn the bass up a little on my Harman Kardon amp to get al little more mid-range. They sound great!

This is the best speakers for the dollar thatnI have ever purchased , they are a bookshelf speaker and I bought them for my home office (refuge) and I am a big vinyl fan, the sound from these paired with a clean Sony Reciever is as good as it gets for what I wanted ! Thanks Klipsch for making a product worth the money.

I used these to replace a cheap set of speakers that were more like computer speakers rather than something that actually, ya know, sounds good. These live up to the Klipsch expectation of sound. Very nice sound, especially with a small sub for the really low stuff. Large enough to make good sound without taking too much space. The price before Christmas was exceptional, so a really great value.

It's a steal for $200/pair

Considering i spent $200 for this pair I'd say it's money spent well. It is also apartment friendly if you have that limitstion. The audio is clear and the mid bass carries enough detail to crossover at 80hz with a subwoofer. Highly recommended to add a sub. It also works well as a surround speaker providing details that satellite speakers can't produce.

Good size and easy to set up on stands. The sound is a little more bass heavy compared to my Triangles but I prefer more bass for a tv set up in a big room. Decent price for an open box at the store.

While the sound is quite good, it doesn't come up to the sound of my 1976 Tempest Heil loudspeakers. (8" woofers and the Heil radiator horn) I did add the center speaker and a 10" woofer to get closer to the sound....easy hookup for all on my Devon AV

We were looking for a good set of bookshelf speakers to use with a small tube amp. What a deal these Klipsch were. The sound is incredible and works great a older Yamaha subwoofer we had laying about. Also, these are in a workshop with terrible acoustics. OUTSTANDING

My local store had a pair of these as a open box. Half the price. The box looked like it never been open and still had the original white bags around the speakers. They were a major upgrade frome what i had. Vocals are very clear while playing music and movies and they have very good mid bass. I could talk about them all day. This is a recommended buy in my book.
