Klipsch Reference R-51M

Klipsch is in the middle of a reinvention. It's attempting to hearken back to the past by focusing on its own "classic" designs. In the past few years the company has delved into its substantial archives to bring back speakers such as the Forte and Cornwall.

The Klipsch Reference R-51M offers excellent build quality with attractive "retro" flair for an affordable price; Sound quality is dynamic and punchy, especially with rock and pop; The speakers are very efficient and can play loudly without strain

Some buyers may prefer the more stately looks of the Q Acoustics or Elac competition; which also offer warmer sound and better bass

Klipsch Reference R-51M

Love the sound , but weak on low end. These are great if you are completing a surround system, but if planning to utilize the as your primary speakers in a small stero set up you may want a subwoofer.

Price; size; quality of mid and high range reproduction; quality of the units themselves

Weak low end reproduction

Beautiful and great deep bass

Very happy to say these were an excellent purchase.
