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

Quick 5.25” bass/mid driver. Good roll-off. Tweeter esp clear/‘present’ w female vocals. Great fit for my smallish room.

Very solid for a small room. Fills it with rich sound. Paired with a Klipsch 10” sub and they are immaculate sounding.

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.

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.

After having struggled for years to find the sound that met my needs, I discovered and owned Definitive Technology BP towers for over twenty years, and I loved every single moment of the experience. Well, that experience came to a screeching halt when the family pet managed to break one of my speakers... Multiple attempts were made to arrange for repair of the damaged speaker, in the end to only be told the parts are unavailable, ship it to us you pay for the several hundreds of dollars in shipping costs and well see IF it can be repaired. Well, at this point anything else can fail, twenty-year-old speaker and all. I needed a quick fix to keep the sound, ANY sound going. I quickly purchased a set of bookshelf speakers from a well known reputable brand. I didnt expect the experience to match the Def Techs, but I expected a better experience than I had. Well, after several months I upgraded to a set of four Klipsch Reference line speakers. It was a vast improvement on first model I tried by a different company. I learned of the limitations of the Reference line models after a few months. My ears needed more. A little bit more research was needed... Enter a bigger budget and better perspective. I had acted in haste. Well, enter the Klipsch Reference Premier line. Im immediately impressed by these speakers. My sound is restored! The Klipsch slogan Keepers of The Sound is absolutely applicable when referring to the Reference Premier line. I will be gradually updating my entire speaker system to Klipsch RP.
