KlipschR-51M Bookshelf Speaker (Pair), Black

They sound surprisingly fabulous, great depth and clairity. Once again, I ordered the "renewed" version and was pleasently surprised to receive a new product. This is the third time I've ordered large ticket electronics and received new instead of used. Gotta love it!

These are an excellent set of speakers with good bass and sound great in a small to medium size room without the need for a subwoofer.Attractice and well made, they are a very good value at this price point.

Very happy with the sound and at the lower price point. Got lucky and they were on a lightning deal so even cheaper.

The media could not be loaded. I got these Thursday and hooked them up last night. Bigger than I expected because when I read the measurements I eyeballed the area I was going to put them in instead of measuring but oh well. I had already bought the subwoofer in early November because the receiver was a replacement for a Walmart junk surround with 3 ohm speakers that the amp blew, got the klipsch sub because the sub I had wouldn’t work and that’s how I got into Klipsch. I listened to it all last night with the sub turned off and it still sounded pretty good. The sub was turned on in the video and center. I also got the center speaker Thursday. My surround is 145 watts per channel and these max at 300. They aren’t even broke in yet and I like them. I like the look of them too. I bought a roll of 16 gauge speaker wire for them and ran it in the hole. Don’t know what the pictures of the banana plugs are about. I’m going to buy another pair for the satellite speakers now. I’m just wondering if I can use the r-41M speakers for the back since they don’t seem to put out as much sound when using surround.

A good all-around pair of starter speakers if you're planning on using them as standalones. These will have zero trouble filling a small to medium sized space with rich and detailed sound at low to mid volumes. The bass is adequate for their size. They're not going to knock your socks off on more thumpy genres. I would imagine pairing them with a subwoofer would make quite the difference but for rock and some synth pop, they're pretty sweet. Plus the copper woofers look very striking without the faceplates.That said, I say these are best suited at low to mid volumes because cranked, the higher frequencies can be awfully fatiguing coming out of these speakers. I would not pay anywhere close to the $349 MSRP for these (you can probably find a pair of far superior RP-600Ms for around that price nowadays). Around $150 seems like a sweet spot for the R-51Ms, but the Sony SSCS5s and Fluance Signature bookshelfs are very comparable, if not better sounding for around the same price. Still, these will probably more than satisfactory if you're not expecting to be blown away by them.

Crisp highs and decent bass notes.Wonderful sound coming out of a small profile box.
