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

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.

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!!

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.

With all that there is out there about these speakers, you don’t need my two cents. Here it is anyway: All things considered these were my favorite speakers between the Triangle BR03 and Klipsch RP-600M (1st edition). Overall I liked the Klipsch speakers the best. Between the 500 and 600s I decided to go with the 500s because with a small footprint I got all the best of what I wanted in a set of bookshelf speakers. The only advantage the 600s had over the 500s was they could fill our room with just a tad more loudness. That said, the 500s get more than loud enough—with clarity that is incredible to boot. For me, the smaller size was the big difference maker (didn’t hurt to save a little money too). I’m running the speakers through an Aiyima T9 amp, which also is paired with Klipsch 12”. We mostly stream music with the little Wiim unit. Other than that I was able to find an incredible little dac that enabled me to connect our hdmi arc to the Aiyima amp. The speakers are equally as good for movies, etc. as they are for music.

Great speakers. No distortion.

Fantastic speaker - currently using it as my surround back and it’s marvelous

I used these as my front L/R channels to replace some Paradigm speakers. These speaker are amazing. Great sound in a small package, which was important given that I needed them to fit on my bookshelf. The units look nice with or without their grill. These are 8 oms and connect easily with speaker wire or clips. I have paired them with a sub woofer and have plenty of bass.

high end super sensitive had to turn the db down to match my 100 watt speakers though since these are 75 watts the 75 watts will sound louder than the 100 watts speakers if you dont balance them out super clear sound

Fantastic speakers! All that I hoped for! Superior frequency response than Bose smaller speakers for only $20 more (when on sale at most providers on Amazon $348.00 in Feb. 2020). Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Some complain that they do not cover the lower bass spectrum adequately, and I would argue given their size they do all that is technically possible in this regard. If you listen to highly bass driven music then see if your amp will accommodate a sub-woofer. In the upper frequencies it exceeds human hearing. For classical this is great, and for the classic rock I listen to most are not bass busters. Again, easy fix if you want lower than approximate 18Hz (I’m doing this from memory) response. I bought four if them, two sets for dual A/B set up. In a 4 way dual setting the amp states the second set should be 16 ohm impedance not the ubiquitous 8 ohm, I have not noticed any performance decay either. Great speakers! Bought from two separate companies since Amazon would not accommodate buying two sets on sale it seems at once from the same distributor.

very high quality
