Bought a pair for my father in law and myself. They work just as good in his big living room as they do in my small living room. Really projects sound in a way that’s hard to believe. Somehow where hear things behind us. Best thing about them is how musical they are and how much bass they have for such a small speaker.

beautiful craftmanship, easy hook-up, great sound! I'm using it with a smaller subwoofer, and that, too connected easily, and even without the sub, the bass is surprisingly full. working 2 jobs right now, so not a lot of down time, but I can't wait until I can crank it up and see how many neighbors I can annoy

Nice speakers plagued with connection issues

Speakers sound nice for the size. I have these speakers connected via hdmi arc to my tv. I also have a pc and mac connected to the tv as well. There is an issue where I will turn on the tv and pc and there is no sound. I have to unplug the cord and wait for the speakers to power back up to start working again. I looked the issue up online and apparently it is a known issue that other people are experiencing. It is very annoying since this is a daily issue for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

These are great powered speakers. Very easy to use with Hdmi arc function (even if our tv can act strange connected like this). Great medium, dynamic and overall a nice presentation, not a wide stereo scene or depht as real hifi but very convincing around a TV and they can play loud ! BUT, there is a big BUT. If you want to add a subwoofer which is recommended especially for movies, they implemented a very unique and strange behaviour !! Whenever a subwoofer is plugged in - not even a sub actually just the rca cable ! - a crossover is activated and cuts all the bass frequencies !! So they are in satellites mode and you lose all the fun out of them ! Forcing the sub to go very high like 100hz and none do that well ! It is very strange indeed as usually with powered speakers its a feature, an option but not at all the normal way !! Especially when it doesn't work so well. You have to search yourself for the good cut frequency on your sub and leave you the choice to have your sub well integrated ! Here you can't and the crossover is very very violent, cuts everything under 100hz. It's not fun at all, even on the back when you plug the rca cable and hear very very distinctly in 1 second that bass have totally disappeared ! Hopefully the app will change that but when will it be ? I wrote to the support about this and waiting for the answer and will be happy to change my evaluation with a solution

I just bought a set of Fives, upgrading from the R-41PM's all I can say is WOW exemplary very crisp sound people and I put them through the test they didn't waiver one bit. I do have one other piece of advise for all you music lovers R-120SW subwoofer it's like putting a cherry on your ice cream sundae

In Love again!

Legendary Klipsch audio ! Versatile connectivity options. Horn tweeters are very clear and delightful - not harsh at all even when played loud. Bass is unbelievable for this woofer size, people who say that they might need a subwoofer must be bass fanatics - I Love my bass too and dropped Bose and Sonos on account of this. I still had to tone down the bass in my EQ settings :) At low volumes, for relaxed listening these sound gorgeous with fanatastic clarity - sparkling !
Pros: Bass ridiculously strong for a 4.5 inch woofer, Control dials are welcome and look gorgeous!, Top notch connectivity Options, Unbelievable clarity !
Cons: Bass Tuning options missing, Streaming from apps missing, The Threes have it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
