After spending weeks researching and analyzing how I wanted to build out my new HiFi system, I called up the World Wide Stereo Team! I had my speakers narrowed down and was really looking for sound clarity and an upgraded listening experience than what I've been listening to for the last decade, I ended up upgrading to these Klipsch "Premiere" speakers, based on opinions from Peter of World Wide Stereo, and WOW! It was what I was hoping for and much more! Now every song I hear on these speakers seems like the first time I have heard it! I wanted to make sure I had enough base in my speakers, because Klipsch seems to be known more for strong treble, and these absolutely have great bass/lows and a very wide range. They are extremely powerful and clarity is ... MoreAfter spending weeks researching and analyzing how I wanted to build out my new HiFi system, I called up the World Wide Stereo Team!

Thanks again Peter for helping me pick out the perfect speakers specifically catered to my needs !! These things rock !

My wife prefers listening to her vinyls, over a Bluetooth speaker. This set replaces an old bookshelf set from an unknown brand. I am no expert in speakers, a buddy, and the internet helped me with the setup. You will need speaker wires and more than likely a good amp, depending on what you are using them for. The sound they produce is top notch. We have tried out all types of music and the speakers make just about anything enjoyable. They got great bass when you need it and the lyrics are just so crisp and clear. The speakers themselves are built to last, they also look great with nice clean finishes. If you aren’t familiar with this type of speaker, don’t be intimidated by the setup. It was easy once I realized how everything works. I would absolutely recommend ... MoreMy wife prefers listening to her vinyls, over a Bluetooth speaker. This set replaces an old bookshelf set from an unknown brand.

These are incredibly sharp sounding speakers, very clear. The build quality is excellent as well. I bought them for my desk and have enjoyed every note coming out of them. They have pretty good base for near field listening, but I def would recommend adding a subwoofer for a fuller music or home theater experience. Excellent value, especially when on sale.

I purchased these as rear surround speakers to complete my 5.1 HTS. I had a 5.1 HTS before but with separate brand of speakers. It was good but of course didn’t sound right. But this time I made sure it was all the same with the Klipsch Reference Premiere Series. Tested it out with the lobby scene from The Matrix. My HTS sounds so seamless now with the RP500Ms! Hearing the casings fall to the ground! When Trinity drops her shotgun at the end of the scene, the sound is crisp and clear! Avoid analysis paralysis and click on place order!
What a great sounding pair of speakers. The sound is fantastic. You would think that you were in the middle of a concert hall. These new Klipch-RP-500M ll Bookshelf Speakers look great up on my bookshelf. The copper colored woofers really look amazing on the front of the speakers. Overall, these are the best sounding speakers that I have ever owned. I highly recommend the speakers.
Very nice speaker in terms of looks and sound. It is at par in sound to the high end brand I previously bought. Easy to drive, doesn't require long break in periods. It delivers right away. The longer you use the better it gets. Great for small rooms or near field listening. The highs, mids, and lows are satisfactorily good. This speakers are very enjoyable to listen to coming out from the box. This pair is an upgrade to my previous R51M Klipsch which I liked very much. It has the same signature sound but much better and improved. Very good soundstage, when I used branded cables and speaker wires compared to generic ones I installed before which is cheaper of course. I highly recommend this speaker when they go on sale and it is really a good purchase.
I paired these with a Klipsch R-100SW 10" Subwoofer and a Dayton Audio HTA100BT Hybrid Stereo Tube Amplifier, mounting them on a set of Pangea LS300 speaker stands. Previously I had a pair of Klipsch R-51PM in the room (I've now put them in the dining room). The sound is amazing, much clearer and vibrant than the R-51s. If these end up back in stock on sale again I'm grabbing another pair for my office.Mostly I listen to old rock, great female singers and jazz. The horns on these really focus the vocals. Very satisfied with the purchase.
These Klipsch RP 500 Mii are a wonderful pair of speakers. While they have all the dynamic and life of all other Klipsch speakers, these particular ones also have a smooth almost monitor like quality - I have a Sub but these will do just great on there own too. The bass reaches down more then the 50hz spec suggests (I have run frequency sweeps and am impressed at this size!) They are great for listening to music and forgetting about the equipment - a recent broadcast of the Albert Hall Proms 2017 Music of John Williams showed they can not only also excel with Classical as well as Rock - but they communicated the atmosphere of the performance really well. You could clearly also hear all the instruments , and fine details. In short these speakers have worked in a room ... MoreThese Klipsch RP 500 Mii are a wonderful pair of speakers.

Definitely the sweet spot in the range, unless you need extra bass and treble and volume in which case that's the RP 600Mii - but I actually much preferred the RP 500 Mii's. Richer Sounds got these in for me right on top of Christmas despite not having them in my local shop at the time, great Job Croydon Richer Sounds!
My speakers arrived in perfect condition and on time.They are almost exactly like the games RP-600M (which I also have a pair of to compare) but they fit in many more places and have in some ways an easier to control sound if you're into room correction and EQ.Be aware that all of the RP series in this line (before the series II upgrades) measure with a dip around 3k Hz and a couple dB of brightness on the top and boost on the low end. All in all, very managable to equalize for if you're concerned and downright fun to listen to out of the box even if you aren't and are less concerned with flat response. It's definitely not a bug, it's a feature for those who like that sound profile.I'm very happy with them as my surrounds in a home theater setup.
