Very nice speakers.
I recently started to become obsessed with Klipsch speakers after I got a set of used 2007 Klipsch Reference surround speakers. I wanted to get some newer, better ones too. I decided to go with the RP-500M II because they are the perfect size, and have great audio according to other people. Next to that I think they look beautiful! This is the first time I bought brand new Klipsch speakers, previously I would only get used ones. The sound they make is way more balanced than previous speakers that had louder tweeters that (according to some) could fatigue. Personally I never had that Klipsch tweeter fatigue because I liked it. However with the great sound of these new speakers it doesn't feel like I'm missing something either. The sound is still very detailed. The build quality is also good. I have nothing to complain about!

No Regrets
After a week of comparing speakers with a variety of songs Led Zep, Little Feat to The Carpenters on Clutchfiled website. Now that their setup sounds even better I'm even going to buy another pair for the rear. I just need to pick the right one's.

Sound Great for the price
i've had my 500ii's for around a year now. also using the 400ii's rear and 500C centre and Klipsch sub, they were hooked up to an Onkyo TX NR6100 and sounded great. recently upgraded amps to a Yamaha RX A6A and now they sound even better. very happy with these.

Changed my perspective!
Wonderful piece of equipment. Changed my perspective of listening to music! I am using it with a Marantz receiver and amplifier and it sounds amazing.

I Recommend!
This might explain: WOW! These speakers were an upgrade from previous Klipsch mains. My whole HT 5.1 system, are all Klipsch, connected to a Denon 7 channel AVR. I listened/watched several SI-FI movies and was amazed with the dynamics and clarity. I sometimes tune to MP3 internet music from Soft Rock to Symphony, to Folk and Piano, listening to such detail and smoothness, in 2 channel stereo mode. I have a small HT room in the basement, and found the 500's performed tbe best, with them pointed straight out into the room. With distance to the mains and 55" QLED TV, at 6.5 feet. Having these 500M II's, for the mains, has made the movies and music, so much more enjoyable. I love the Klipsch sound. These speakers are 3 weeks old and perform every day.

Beautiful sound
Incredibly clear and crisp sound. They paired perfectly with my vintage Marantz 2220b receiver.

Klipsch RP-500M II
I recently purchased two of these bookshelf speakers as “replacements” for a set of Klipsch KSP-400 floor standing power houses that I’ve had for years. The 400’s were recently the victims of a lightning strike which damaged the subwoofer amplifiers. I knew going in that there was no way the 500M’s were going to sound as good as the 400’s but I was also trying to downsize the footprint and was willing to compromise somewhat to accomplish this. I connected the new speakers to my receiver and began listening to some of my favorite music and knew immediately that I would need a subwoofer. The 500M’s handled the power of the receiver very well without breaking up, but the smaller woofers just didn’t have the bass response. At lower levels, something is missing. It’s not fair for me to compare the 500M’s to the 400’s because they are so different in design. The 500M’s are pretty efficient, but do seem to require more power to sound really great than I expected they would. At loud playing levels these speakers are incredible for their size. With the addition of a subwoofer they lack nothing at all. I currently have these sitting on the floor next to my system. If I didn’t have two large dogs, I would like to have them on speaker stands to get them up at ear level, but I’m afraid they would be knocked over and damaged. Life is full of compromises and this is just one more. All in all I’m very satisfied with this purchase. They are a good pair of speakers for the price.
