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

Great sound Tight bass and crisp highs. Solid addition

Crystal clear sound and overall I am very happy with the speakers. With that said, I think the bass response is a little too much and colors the sound more than what I am accustomed to. This makes it difficult to pair with my Paradigm speakers in the next room. To counteract this, I set my bass level to the room that I am spending the most time in.

This was my very first experience with Klipsch Speakers. These bookshelf speakers are amazing. I could have stopped with just these as they sounded great alone. I became addicted and wanted more! Be careful as you too will fall in love.

Zero PROPER mounting options these are not meant for a front speaker. If your using them as such youre just poor these are dinky rear speakers at best but give you no PROPER way to mount. The keyhole puts them flat on the wall blocking rear port. These need to be sealed or front ported as the MASSIVE rear flared port disables all proper home theater mounting options and no. Amazons basic 15 degree mounts just cause sound to go over your head. Very disappointed in the cabinet design in these rendering them useless in many applications Update. These speakers are now in the garbage where they belong. Klipsch needs to learn how to save weight on surround speakers if they CANT OFFER PROPER MOUNTING OPTIONS. The 1/4thread at the bottom cant support the weight of these angled down. I tried to love them but klipsch has let me down. My old s20 synergy were miles better then these. Lighter better surround effects. No they werent as sensitive but nothing adjusting the surround levels a few dB didnt fix. Ive been a loyal klipsch fan for over 20 years. The 500m and 600m done me in. Ill be switching to SVS for a proper home theater

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.

I got these RP500M to upgrade an old pair of RB51, I was hesitant because I didnt know if these were that much improved. WOW what an impressive upgrade! I couldnt believe how much better these are. Get them before the price goes up.

Over all performance is good for the size my problem with these speaker like all Klipsch speaker is they have no high end yes there have bass for the size but there not very clear. I have book shelf speakers that are 35 years old that sound better. I love the way way there built and look I just think they need to be clearer. This is my second set of bookshelf and I didnt use either one of them.

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.

I wish I had ordered the 600s though!

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