Reference Premiere RP-500M II Ebony Bookshelf Speakers

delivering clear highs, detailed mids, and surprisingly punchy bass thanks to the Cerametallic woofer and Tractrix horn design. They’re easy to drive with good sensitivity and sound great for music or movies in medium-sized rooms.

It took me a while to hook these speakers up to my Roku TV. I had some older speakers that were pretty good (along with my Klipsch 12" sub) and I knew I wanted an upgrade and use the older ones in another room. I finally got it together this morning and I am listening to lossless music on Youtube. It is definitely a step up. I am ecstatic as to the sound quality, and, while I am not what I consider a true audiophile, I do appreciate the subtle differences between the sounds coming out of speakers. Even my wife, who is even less nuanced than me, has been grooving to the sound coming out of the new speakers. Please understand, if your source is sort of limited, the difference in the sound isn't going to be that much different. But if you get some material where the sound engineer really appreciates how to pick up every nuance of the artist/instrument, then these speakers WILL deliver a better quality. And, as far as I am concerned, they are a damn good value. Thanks for the upgrade to high quality sound I can now receive.

I bought these Klipsch RP500 II used-like new and they showed up in all the original packaging, never opened or used, undamaged and saved like $150-$200. The connections is just simple positive/negative that I used banana plugs for, but they will do straight wire. There is no power cord needed. I had to extend my speaker wire because the cable ports are at the bottom of the speaker , and if installed without the extension the speakers would touch the ceiling. Be careful unscrewing the pos/neg connectors too. I dropped one in the back of the speaker and it was a nightmare to get out and had to take apart the speaker, but that was easy and it did no damage. I also used the Mount-It! Wall mounts, so I could rotate the speakers in and they also worked great with this product. No vibration issues. As for the speakers, they are absolutely worth the money for either your first set or as upgrades. The sound is so much more clear and bass-y than before. It really gives my 20’x20’ room a move theater sound. I was thinking about getting the RP600s, but I really think it would not be necessary now after several months of use and my size of space.

I've been very happy with these speakers. Sound quality is superb.

If you want a high sensitivity and dynamic speakers for a medium-sized room, this is it! It is easy to work with a low cost AVR without significant performance impact. Comparing other speakers which have higher tonality scores tested with CEA2034 standard, my 2.1 setup could be a budget friendly setup, but it delivers me the best value and listening quality in my price range. I got a lively, engaging sound with clear and prominent highs. I can enjoy both Hi-Fi music and enhanced home theater experience.

I bought Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500M II Ebony Bookshelf Speakers for my wife for her birthday and she loves them. They’re connected to a receiver which is connected to her turntable and TV. She can hear sounds from her vinyl that she never heard before. This is our first experience with Klipsch and we love the sound, the quality and the look!

Speaker sounds amazing. Note that there is a cork base so if you're mounting you will see the cork bottom. I originally ordered at a lower rate and that package mysteriously disappeared and I had to order again at the higher rate. Luckily amazon credited me for the difference, but it seemed very sketchy.

Excellent sounding speakers. After testing a few different bookshelf speakers, including the newer Elac debut 3.0 db53s I kept the Klipsch. These just had that extra punch and excitement that I was looking for. You can’t go wrong with either and if you’re main listening preferences aren’t rock, heavy metal or loud and aggressive music, then the Elacs will probably serve you better. But if you are looking for that excitement that’s more in your face (and ears) then the klipsch are the winners. Good at lower listening levels, great at higher volumes. they are a good balance of neutrality with just an extra punch of excitement, and can easily be EQd to your preferences. Just buy them

Vor dem Kauf waren andere Lautsprecher im Einsatz und ich habe es einfach nicht erwartet, das der Klang so sehr verbessert wird. Die Lautsprecher wurden vorerst frontal benutzt und durch die phänomenale Empfindlichkeit klingen diese bei gleicher Lautstärke viel kraftvoller und sauberer. Später wurden die großen Frontlautschprecher gekauft und diese werden als Surround benutzt. Jeder der mein Klipsch Surround-Setup einmal gehört hat, wurde restlos begeistert.

These look a lot bigger in pictures than in person but they sound wonderful. The imaging is immaculate and they have that bright detailed Klipsch sound. I use them in my 5.1 setup but often I will use them in direct stereo as the imaging is so good. They produce a respectable amount of bass for their size but I would recommend a subwoofer for the best experience. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Bear in mind that these are quite bright, as in treble. I'm 51 and I can't hear above 14000hz so if I find them bright, they are quite bright. In a way it enhances the detailed sound. For my ears these are truly excellent.

Vabbè sono Klipschista, ma queste mi hanno veramente entusiasmato, la Klipsch non si adagia sugli allori e va avanti con passo spedito. Fra i migliori mini in commercio con una grinta in piu.

Also Wahnsinn was diese relativ kleinen und kompakten Boxen abliefern. Hängen bei mir an einem Yamaha Verstärker und Thorens DD 403 TD Dreher. Kann diese Boxen nur empfehlen. Die Bässe sind sehr stark und eine sehr angenehme Klangbühne. Sicher hätte man das Gehäuse besser verarbeiten können, aber dann nicht zu diesem unschlagbaren Preis. Sind natürlich nicht für riesige Wohnzimmer geeignet, aber für nen Raum mit 25 bis 30 qm ausreichend. Der Verkäufer hat sehr schnell und ordentlich versendet. Ach und ja, man sollte die Staubgitter anbringen, da die Hochtöner mit Silkon verarbeitet sind und dadurch sehr Staubanfällig.

Son altavoces que se escuchan muy bien cuando estas viendo una pelicula o escuchando musica. La calidad de los materiales con los que estan hechos se ven muy bien.
