KlipschReference Premiere RP-500M II Walnut Bookshelf Speakers

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.

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

These are a replacement for Klipsch R41M speakers we bought years ago. The difference is dramatic especially in the mid to lower range. The sound quality is excellent especially in the vocal range. The quality of the sound is equivalent to speakers in a much higher price category.

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.

Klipsch is known for making speaker with high detail sound and it is true with this one. The treble is so revealing it's like you are in front of a live performance. I have them powered with Yamaha R-N800A and streaming Hi-Res Amazon Music thru MusicCast app. Build quality is excellent as well. Highly recommend!

This brand is one of the best. I have seven speakers for my home theater

The speakers are very nicely constructed, build quality is A- to A all around. They are small but quite heavy. The case design is more attractive in person than the pictures suggest. The sound quality is typical of bookshelf speakers, they are pretty bright and the range is good. I listen to everything from classical to opera to heavy metal, they all sound good. I bought my set while they were on a good sale, happy with the purchase, and can recommend them.

I needed good speakers that would fit in the shelf of living room tables for surround sound. These were a perfect fit and have good sound quality.
