Top speakers for a reasonable price

I bought this item two years ago and I was astonished about the sound. Crispy clear sound with good highs, mids and bass. In the beginning the tweeter was a little overwhelming but after a few days playing the sound regulated and I enjoy the sound since then. Top speakers for a reasonable price!

RP-160M's - Wow a treat!!!!

Wow - I've owned a lot of bookshelf speakers down through the years - these are amazing - bought them on sale when they were discontinued and use them in dual purposes - Critical and recreational listening through a small system to which I also have them hooked up as computer monitors - For my money they are the best bookshelf I have ever owned!!! I listen to them sitting at my computer from 5 feet in most of the time - receiver power is rated at 100 watts per channel - they supposedly will handle 400w - I can't imagine how they would sound with that much power in reserve - they are beautiful and I love the magnetic speaker covers - so easy to take off and put on!!! IMO - Sound is very transparent and uncolored - transients are crisp and fast - I listen to a lot of Classical stuff and have thought about using a sub with them but at moderate volumes and higher the bass is fine for my aging ears (73).... On the rock, jazz and pop stuff they have plenty of pop for me.... the highs are very nice on that stuff - I will be up outfitting a theater system later this year but I may use a pair of these as my front speakers - When they were updates by Klipsch (with a new number) I bought these as they were very highly rated - I hate to admit it but I pd less than $200 for these on closeout - IMO- that was a Great Great deal!!

Big is all that comes to mind

Man these are big. But they sound so good! I was expecting about 2/3 the size, but after getting them plugged in I have no regrets!

The Reference Premiere RP-160M monitors provide bold, theater-quality sound in a compact, bookshelf speaker - making them easy to place in almost any room layout.

90X90 Hybrid Tractrix Horn
Redesigned Tactrix Horn utilizes a circular horn throat paired to a square horn mouth to further improve high-frequency response and extension, while enhancing imaging and dynamics. The compressed molded rubber construction adds high frequency damping to reduce harshness and improve detail. This creates the cleanest, most natural sound possible.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Tweeter
A Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS Tweeters have been a hallmark of previous Reference lines, as well as our flagship Klipsch Palladium series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

Spun Copper Cerametallic Woofers
Cerametallic woofers represent the pinnacle of Klipsch driver design, maintaining exceptional rigidity, and lightweight construction, for minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.

All New Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the all new Reference Premiere ports allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet - for the cleanest, most powerful low frequency response on the market

MDF Cabinet With Brushed Polymer Veneer Baffle Finish
Contemporary aesthetic with absolute durability that results in a seamless integration into any decor.

Strong, Flexible, Removable Grille
Attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
