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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Great sound. Slim attractive design. Needs a base too for full sound effect.

I upgraded from a old pair of Klipsch ICON W-14's which in their day were amazing, however this speaker broadened the soundstage and allows for increased depth in music and movie watching. They are an incredible value to performance option ! I highly recommend these, especially due to the improved wide dispersion of the horn tweeter.

Finally found the sound I was looking for! Detail and impact are wonderful without breaking the bank.

These speakers are a significant step up from my previous r50c speakers. Dialog is noticably improved. Thanks Klipsch!

Replaced two of my smaller Klipsch satellite speakers. I was missing the mid tones. No longer. These speakers sound so good. Especially considering the price

I am very pleased with these speakers. They look good, are well made, and sound great. They are still breaking in a bit, but they are impressive so far. They sound very good without a subwoofer and have more punch than you would expect from a 5". However, adding a small sub (8" or 10") to carry some of the weight on the low end (90Hz was the sweet spot in my room for the crossover) allows the midrange and treble to be just that much sweeter.

These bookshelf speakers sound great and tonality is balanced. In addition, I have a Sony 10" subwoofer. Overall, it exceeded my expectation.

I have had these about three months and absolutely love them, super clean, crisp room filling sound. paired with wireless Klipsch Sub sort of needed for lower volumes to give fullness don't need a sub for higher volumes at all.

Great sound and power, have these speakers in combination with the R-34C center channel and the R12-SW subwoofer for an incredible sound experience!

Crazy good speakers and look great too! 5 stars all the way!

unbeatable for the money can compete with speakers 10x as expensive use it with a tube amp! highly recommended does need a sub for full bass

Very clear high quality sound. With the subwoofer it’s amazing. I am really happy about my choice.

Bought these for me rear surround setup. These things have amazing sound throughout the frequencies. Build quality is top notch. Don't be fooled by size, they put out the volume!

Sound good for small room sound better with a tube amp and phono
