Great sound. Slim attractive design. Needs a base too for full sound effect.

Love these new RP 500M series 2. Crisp and tight with awesome sound. First product from Klipsch, and I have no regrets about the size of sound reproduction.

I upgraded from a old pair of Klipsch ICON W-14's which in their day were amazing, however this speaker broadened the soundstage and allows for increased depth in music and movie watching. They are an incredible value to performance option ! I highly recommend these, especially due to the improved wide dispersion of the horn tweeter.

Finally found the sound I was looking for! Detail and impact are wonderful without breaking the bank.

Fantastic bookshelf I own the previous version. These are far superior, much clear on the top end tighter base true winners all the way around couldn't be happier. Paired with a 10 inch sub on my Marantz integrated amplifier is a match made in heaven.

Replaced two of my smaller Klipsch satellite speakers. I was missing the mid tones. No longer. These speakers sound so good. Especially considering the price

I am very pleased with these speakers. They look good, are well made, and sound great. They are still breaking in a bit, but they are impressive so far. They sound very good without a subwoofer and have more punch than you would expect from a 5". However, adding a small sub (8" or 10") to carry some of the weight on the low end (90Hz was the sweet spot in my room for the crossover) allows the midrange and treble to be just that much sweeter.

I just bought the RP 500 M 2's, to start a new system, to be paired with a pair of RP 8000 M2's. I paired these with an Emotiva BasX A2 amp and they are very impressive. Impressive enough that I was able to talk my wife out of getting the RP- 8000 M2's and into a pair of Forte 4's. Pairing these with the Forte 4's, a RS-121 and Emotiva amp creates an amazing, stellar listening experience. I found that the RP 500 M2's optimum listening height is 36 3/4's - 37 3/4's inches off the ground. I would definitely purchase again. Clear highs, tight mid bass, but need a sub, for deep lows. The RS-121 did not overwhelm these. They pair well. Recommended, for sure.

Bigger Horn, Better Sound
A new, larger 90 Degree x 90 Degree silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive 1" LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere Series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter Design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
All-New Cerametallic Woofer
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series speakers, the 5.25" Cerametallic woofer has been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.
Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere port allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
