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

Probably one of the easiest to listen to Klipsch speakers that arent fatiguing. Better than the series 2! Not the best Soundstage or imaging.

I wish I had ordered the 600s though!

So far Im loving the sound quality on these speakers. Upgrading from E-MU XM7s. Bass is lacking but I have 10 subwoofer for bass anyway.

These would be fine as front left and right speakers in a smaller setup, but I use them as rear surrounds. They are so crisp and clear and really bring out the detail in things I’ve listened to for years but am hearing differently now.

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.

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

This my first pair of Klipsch speakers. Intended to purchase the larger 6.5 but, on the recommendation the CheapAudioMan I purchased the RP 500 M. They do have plenty of bass. Bought them for my tube amp. Sound excellent.

Klipsch makes premium speakers and these are no exception to the rule. I use them for my back surround speakers attached to my Denon S750H. WOW!!

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.

These speakers have been awesome. I researched many options and these are the best quality I could find in this price range. Ill be sticking with Klipsch as I finish out other rooms in my house.
