Review on πŸ”Š Klipsch RP-500M Reference Premiere Walnut Bookshelf Speakers - Pair by Jasmine Penny

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible Design: Home Audio

Zero PROPER mounting options are not designed for front speakers. Using them as such is just poor you, they are refined rear speakers at best, but they don't give you the RIGHT way of mounting them. The keyhole pushes them against the wall, blocking the rear opening. They don't need to be sealed or ported at the front, as the MASSIVE rear flared port disables all proper home theater mounting options, no. The 15 degree Revain base mounts let the sound simply sweep over your head. Very disappointed with the case design which makes it unusable in many applications. To update. Those speakers are now in the trash where they belong. Klipsch needs to learn how to reduce the weight of surround speakers when they CANNOT PROVIDE THE RIGHT MOUNTING OPTIONS. The 1/4 thread on the bottom cannot bear your weight when tilted down. I tried to love her but the clips let me down. My old Synergy S20 was way better than this one. Lighter better surround effects. No, they weren't that sensitive, but adjusting the surround level by a few dB didn't fix anything. I've been a die-hard Klipsch fan for over 20 years. 500m and 600m got me down. I will switch to SVS for true home theater.
