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.

Klipsch is known for making speaker with high detail sound and it is true with this one. The treble is so revealing it's like you are in front of a live performance. I have them powered with Yamaha R-N800A and streaming Hi-Res Amazon Music thru MusicCast app. Build quality is excellent as well. Highly recommend!

I needed good speakers that would fit in the shelf of living room tables for surround sound. These were a perfect fit and have good sound quality.

Upgrade from some smaller speakers, these have good bass and nice overall sound. I did pair with a sub to make the base a little deeper.

It took me a while to hook these speakers up to my Roku TV. I had some older speakers that were pretty good (along with my Klipsch 12" sub) and I knew I wanted an upgrade and use the older ones in another room. I finally got it together this morning and I am listening to lossless music on Youtube.It is definitely a step up. I am ecstatic as to the sound quality, and, while I am not what I consider a true audiophile, I do appreciate the subtle differences between the sounds coming out of speakers. Even my wife, who is even less nuanced than me, has been grooving to the sound coming out of the new speakers.Please understand, if your source is sort of limited, the difference in the sound isn't going to be that much different. But if you get some material where the sound engineer really appreciates how to pick up every nuance of the artist/instrument, then these speakers WILL deliver a better quality. And, as far as I am concerned, they are a damn good value.Thanks for the upgrade to high quality sound I can now receive.

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.

If you want a high sensitivity and dynamic speakers for a medium-sized room, this is it! It is easy to work with a low cost AVR without significant performance impact. Comparing other speakers which have higher tonality scores tested with CEA2034 standard, my 2.1 setup could be a budget friendly setup, but it delivers me the best value and listening quality in my price range. I got a lively, engaging sound with clear and prominent highs. I can enjoy both Hi-Fi music and enhanced home theater experience.

These look a lot bigger in pictures than in person but they sound wonderful. The imaging is immaculate and they have that bright detailed Klipsch sound. I use them in my 5.1 setup but often I will use them in direct stereo as the imaging is so good. They produce a respectable amount of bass for their size but I would recommend a subwoofer for the best experience. I am very satisfied with my purchase. Bear in mind that these are quite bright, as in treble. I'm 51 and I can't hear above 14000hz so if I find them bright, they are quite bright. In a way it enhances the detailed sound. For my ears these are truly excellent.

My Experience with These SpeakersWhen I was looking for bookshelf speakers, I wanted something with lively, dynamic sound, good bass even without a subwoofer, and not too demanding on an amplifier. After a long decision-making process, I chose the Klipsch RP-500M II – and I must say, I am very satisfied with them.Could this be an issue for someone? If you prefer a completely neutral sound, Klipsch has a slightly “V-shaped” sound profile – with stronger bass and treble compared to mids. However, I like it because I prefer a more vibrant sound.They look great – The finish is elegant, and the grille is magnetic.I use them with (fill in your amplifier), and they perform excellently. Klipsch speakers have high sensitivity (93 dB), so even a less powerful amplifier can drive them. However, a high-quality amplifier enhances the bass and details even further.Summary – I am very satisfied!
