Klipsch RP-500M Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Ebony)

This pair of speakers is the final part of my home theater/ 7 Channel audio system. The quality of sound produced by all of their speakers working together is astounding. The word Synergy on their sturdy and protective delivery boxes is not hype or overstatement. The system is exponentially greater than the mere sum of its parts. I couldnt be more pleased. Theres no question about it. KIlipsch makes excellent speakers. I love them! And theyre GORGEOUS!!

Im writing this review about a day after receiving my delivery, and the price is already about $150 more than I paid. So, I can only review this speakers value according to what I paid. I think its a 5 star value in the $350 range. Sounds great, and way more sound possible than my apartment can handle, but I expect to keep them forever. There is a nice printed manual included, but seems geared more toward the Reference Premiere series as a whole, and not the specific RP-500M itself. Little things matter, like the angled bevels on the front make the speaker look off kilter with respect to almost anything that is level in your home, at almost any viewing angle. They are bookshelf speakers, and your bookshelf is probably level. It doesnt bother me, but the bevels dont serve any functional purpose, so I question what was the point of that design choice. Finally, I think a speaker selling for close to $500 now could be manufactured profitably somewhere other than China. I know Klipsch makes their best speakers in the U.S., and the next time around that will weigh heavily in my decision. Crazy idea: Try using some real wood! I think its silly comparing the quality of fake wood on all the different speakers. Klipsch should pay attention.

Other than coming in a generic box (but well packaged) I would not know they were renewed.

I got these for my daughter. I built her a turntable/reciever/CD 2 speaker system. Started playing some vinyl & CDs on it and was pretty basic. I expected to be impressed but was not. These cost alot and come with alot of hype advertising like theyre a top quality speaker. Too bad. I regret purchasing these. 5 out of 10 I personally sport Cerwin Vega brand too. Next year maybe Ill replace with some Cerwin Vega.

Great speakers. No distortion.

I purchased the RP500Ms to run on my Sonos Amp along with a Dayton Audio 10 Sub. This system sounds good in my 12x15 den. I really like the speakers.......They sound great when pushed to a reasonably high level but they also sound good a fairly low levels which is where I spend 50% + of my time. I have been using for roughly 2 months.

Inflated prices for this product, the actual value of the speakers are in question. The price has varied almost $200.00 in 6 months. They probably are worth about $200.00 but not much more if any.

Nothing to not like for the price. Great sound. The bass is what impressed me, for a 5 1/4 inch. I bought used but you couldn’t tell by the original packaging.

Lovely speaker…..being used with a low power tube amp. Sounds musically full and dynamic even at low volume. An added bonus is excellent dialog clarity on movies.

very high quality
