    I am glad I found the Klipsch 40% off sale during the holidays. I upgraded my front channel, center channel, and Subwoofer for an outstanding price. After hearing the new speakers, I can say Klipsch is worth the money, even at full price if you can afford it.

    After struggling for years to hear dialogue on my old minishelf system right and left speakers I had hooked up to my TV, this speaker brought that struggle to a satisfying conclusion. This speaker has a rich, full sound. I bought the Klipsch RP-500M II speakers along with it. The three speakers together give me a great balance for movies and music.

    Efetuado um update das caixas R-52C para esse modelo. Esse é o modelo mais atual. Som com mais clareza e detalhamento. Sem fazer nova calibração do receiver o volume ficou ótimo.
