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

I purchased these speakers to use as fronts with an RP400C in a 5.1 setup. The sound was fantastic, especially considering the size. I did end up returning them in favor for the RP600Ms only because I realized I could fit bigger speakers in my place. However, if room was an issue I would not hesitate to purchase these. Highly recommended.

Actual speakers are fine, but they came absolutely beat up. Corners of both speakers are chipped and the wood coming apart. Feel like I got used ones. Definitely don’t seem brand new.

After having struggled for years to find the sound that met my needs, I discovered and owned Definitive Technology BP towers for over twenty years, and I loved every single moment of the experience. Well, that experience came to a screeching halt when the family pet managed to break one of my speakers... Multiple attempts were made to arrange for repair of the damaged speaker, in the end to only be told the parts are unavailable, ship it to us you pay for the several hundreds of dollars in shipping costs and well see IF it can be repaired. Well, at this point anything else can fail, twenty-year-old speaker and all. I needed a quick fix to keep the sound, ANY sound going. I quickly purchased a set of bookshelf speakers from a well known reputable brand. I didnt expect the experience to match the Def Techs, but I expected a better experience than I had. Well, after several months I upgraded to a set of four Klipsch Reference line speakers. It was a vast improvement on first model I tried by a different company. I learned of the limitations of the Reference line models after a few months. My ears needed more. A little bit more research was needed... Enter a bigger budget and better perspective. I had acted in haste. Well, enter the Klipsch Reference Premier line. Im immediately impressed by these speakers. My sound is restored! The Klipsch slogan Keepers of The Sound is absolutely applicable when referring to the Reference Premier line. I will be gradually updating my entire speaker system to Klipsch RP.

Fantastic speaker - currently using it as my surround back and it’s marvelous

This my first pair of Klipsch speakers. Intended to purchase the larger 6.5 but, on the recommendation the CheapAudioMan I purchased the RP 500 M. They do have plenty of bass. Bought them for my tube amp. Sound excellent.

Other than coming in a generic box (but well packaged) I would not know they were renewed.

Lovely speaker…..being used with a low power tube amp. Sounds musically full and dynamic even at low volume. An added bonus is excellent dialog clarity on movies.

They perform great. I mostly drive them using a class D amp from Fosi Audio and they sound great. The times I have hooked them up to the AVR...they are even more spectacular.

Nice sound reproduction, but theyre bookshelf speakers, the dont have a great low end. Would probably be fine in a smaller room, but the bass gets lost in my living room. I bought the wireless subwoofer to go along with them, and the sound is great

Big upgrade for me over the old Bose. Stunning highs, but not harsh. The clarity is just amazing.
