KlipschReference Premiere RP-500M II Walnut Bookshelf Speakers

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.

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

Love these speakers. Purchased to replace my Elac Debut 2.0 B5.2's, not so much because I was unhappy with the Elac's, but rather because of the high ratings these Klipsch's received on both Amazon and other outlets when reviewed. They are a part of my zone 2 set up in my dining area/kitchen, and, without the help of double subs in my main zone, these definitely held their own. Again, love these 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.

I have an office/movie room I put these speakers in. I upgraded from Klipsch R-41PM and I have to say these are great! I have them connected to a Onkyo TX-NR6100 receiver and a Klipsch R-100SW 10" sub. I have a center speaker coming soon but honestly just having these are GREAT! The sound quality is crips and great for the size of room I have. They aren't that heavy in my opinion but I am really happy with the performance of these Klipsch speakers.

Awesome sound at a good price. Loved them so much that I bought another set for my wife’s office.

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.

Love them
