    I have these paired with a yamaha reveiver and a klipsch 121sw for listening to music and after some adjustments I trully enjoy how they sound. The music comes out very clear sounding. Some might like a warmer tone, but i was going for clarity. They have achieved this. I do not feel the horns screaming at me like some critize klipsch for, even at high volumes. Some listening fatigue at higher volumes, when I had the sub dialed up a little too high. As for home theather use, I have them setup with a polk audio as a center and two JBL’s as rears. Very good sound accuracy and a great low end with the sub pairing. You feel the rumble.

    speaker sound good at medium push from amplifier. Designed seem done very well. I don't know why they call it a Bookshelf speaker very heavy and tall. I would recommend but keep in mind other than using a stand or well built shelf will be hard to mount on a wall due to heavy weight of speaker.

    My mistake for purchasing something I thought would work with my turntable. I thought it would be any easy connection but had no connections. I hear these speakers are amazing. Unfortunately it didn’t work for me.

    Very nice full range speakers. Pair them with a good subwolfer and you have excellent sound for music, tv, etc. Low distortion with crisp highs. I would make sure to align with a system with like power output to avoid overdriving the. I put them on stands to bring the sound at my desired listening levels. Overall a mid priced and performing set of speakers.

    Awsome, high quality bookshelf speakers. This was my first Klipsch speaker purchase and well worth it. These R-50M bookshelf speakers were a great addition to my home audio surround system and at an unbeatable price during promotional sale.

    I’ve been running these speakers for about two years now and I have no regrets. I am using an emotiva two channel amp and it sounds great.

    Tested and show same frequency range as advertised. Set crossover at 80htz and they blend with LFE perfectly. Couldn't be happier. Klipsch New-Reference are excellent speakers at a modest price on sale, Rated only 4 on ease of use as all satelites are always tricky when mounting on stands or walls. Klipsch calls them monitor speakers, and the clear sound they produce is excellent and not even broke in yet!

    Bought these to pair with my new Marantz M-CR612. They sound amazing! Couldn’t be happier. I have a Sub that I plan to add to the setup, but it’s great right now! Definitely a step up from my Bose system.
