Klipsch RP-500M Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) (Ebony)

I used this product for home theater surround sound.

I got these for my daughter. I built her a turntable/reciever/CD 2 speaker system. Started playing some vinyl & CDs on it and was pretty basic. I expected to be impressed but was not. These cost alot and come with alot of hype advertising like theyre a top quality speaker. Too bad. I regret purchasing these. 5 out of 10 I personally sport Cerwin Vega brand too. Next year maybe Ill replace with some Cerwin Vega.

With all that there is out there about these speakers, you don’t need my two cents. Here it is anyway: All things considered these were my favorite speakers between the Triangle BR03 and Klipsch RP-600M (1st edition). Overall I liked the Klipsch speakers the best. Between the 500 and 600s I decided to go with the 500s because with a small footprint I got all the best of what I wanted in a set of bookshelf speakers. The only advantage the 600s had over the 500s was they could fill our room with just a tad more loudness. That said, the 500s get more than loud enough—with clarity that is incredible to boot. For me, the smaller size was the big difference maker (didn’t hurt to save a little money too). I’m running the speakers through an Aiyima T9 amp, which also is paired with Klipsch 12”. We mostly stream music with the little Wiim unit. Other than that I was able to find an incredible little dac that enabled me to connect our hdmi arc to the Aiyima amp. The speakers are equally as good for movies, etc. as they are for music.

Received product in perfect condition and packaging was flawless. I bought this product twice and they both came in great. No issues at all.

Ive been a fan of Klipsch since I got my R-15Ms a few years ago and I was excited to upgrade to the RP-500Ms. The RP-500Ms did not disappoint at all! The sound out of these speakers really packed a punch and the finish fit in great with the rest of my music room!

These RP are the first pair of Klipsch I have bought, and after 60 hrs of break-in they sound fabulous. The titanium horn tweeter is unbelievably smooth, the mids are very warm and they sound great. Very nice build quality, magnet grills are also quite nice. I am using them as surround speakers in a 7.1 system and they perform excellent. The drivers have bass extension, and the soundstage is very good. My use is primarily for music, and I think they sound great. Solid purchase.

Klipsch makes premium speakers and these are no exception to the rule. I use them for my back surround speakers attached to my Denon S750H. WOW!!

Quick 5.25” bass/mid driver. Good roll-off. Tweeter esp clear/‘present’ w female vocals. Great fit for my smallish room.

Dont let the size fool you. These bookshelves, even mounted on the wall sound absurd for their size. So loud and clear and level across the frequency range at any volume. Used as mains in a 5.1.4 Atmos setup of all rp500 series. Amazing!

These would be fine as front left and right speakers in a smaller setup, but I use them as rear surrounds. They are so crisp and clear and really bring out the detail in things I’ve listened to for years but am hearing differently now.
