Review on Klipsch RP-150M Walnut Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) - Enhanced SEO-friendly Product Name by Julie Bauer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Holy mother of all speakers

I never knew what good sound was until I bought these speakers. I bought these speakers because several reviews of a tube amp I bought recommended them and they said they sound great with the amp. For the price, they looked great, especially with those features. I needed high sensitivity 8 ohm speakers. They arrived and I plugged them into my amp and put Kid A on the radio head. I use the song "Everything in its Place" as a benchmark for most of my tests. I sat down and started listening. From the moment the music started I was amazed. I thought I knew what a speaker image was, but turned out I was wrong. I was literally enveloped in the music as if I was in the studio when it was being recorded and Thom Yorke was singing right in front of me. Everything had its place and the clarity was almost like I could hear where the instruments were playing in the room. Finally everything fell into place. I will never buy anything other than Klipsch again. I'm giving away my Bose 407's which I've owned for almost twenty years (they sound like two birthday speakers taped to cans compared to these) and will be ordering a pair of Klipsch RP-8000fs to replace them. Keep in mind that I am using these speakers with a 7.5w tube amp per channel and they have a lot of sound. I rarely crank the amp past half and it fills the room with this amazingly enveloping sound. I don't know if it's voodoo, black magic, satan... Regardless, these speakers are by far the most amazing speakers I've ever heard and for the price, they can't beat my books. Yes they should crack, yes the tweeters are bloody bright but for me they've already started to soften as I've been listening to them non-stop, no your loud trap music won't sound like hell on them. These are reference speakers, they don't add flavor to one end or the other nor do they tend, the highs or lows are very clean and clear. NO DIRT. They really have a lot of bass, I'm very happy with the sound. I have attached a photo of little angels tenderly blessing one of my speakers, you can see a ray of light falling on it from heaven.
