Awesome Speakers

Major upgrade from a previous soundbar. Needed a shorter tower speaker for a space with shelves, these were a perfect fit (everything else was too tall). Great sound, really fills the room. Easy setup, arrived in great condition!

Great choice, exceptional clarity.

Ordered these to replace some old JBL speakers that the subwoofer surrounds had finally gave out. Shipped quickly, packaged very well and arrived damage free. These were a great replacement for my old speakers. Really impressed with the clarity of the sound, very big improvement over what I had, will not hesitate to buy Klipsch speakers to replace my surrounds when the time comes.

Great Sound

Purchased pair of RP-5000f speakers after speaking to a Crutchfield rep to match with my Martin Logan 8i center and 4i rears. I am very pleased with them. Great sound and met my needs.

Thought I Would Be Compromising - Wrong!

I got the RP-5000F speakers primarily for two channel music listening. I originally ordered a pair of RP-600M bookshelves. Although those would still receive five stars from me, I felt that the midrange vocals were slightly behind the instruments. My associate Randy suggested the 5000F's over the larger towers to match up best with my two R120SW subs. He nailed it. The midrange really cuts through. I could have spent a lot more on speakers chasing a marginal improvement in tone, but I'm perfectly happy with the balance. The lively sound matches up well with my Advance Paris A10 Classic which has a warmer tone with it's tube driven preamp. They look awesome with the subs and they're light enough to move around if needed. I do suggest a powered sub with these. Kudos to Randy for his advice and to Crutchfield for their unbeatable try it first policy.

Sound Clarity is great.

Well packaged for shipping. Very crisp sound. Bass response is very nice. Also added an RP-500C center channel. We are hearing details in movies we haven't heard before and getting excellent clear dialogue. Using a Yamaha 5.2 receiver giving 80W per channel with other surrounds and a powered sub.

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-5000F

I originally had them in my living room and put my POLK AUDIO speakers downstairs in my former office, a much smaller room. After getting my new DENON 970H and listening for a while.....hhmmmm? The KLIPSCH were put downstairs and the HEAVY Polks returned upstairs. Given the size of the rooms etc, that proved to be THE combination for me. The KLIPSCH RP-50000Fs simply sound much better, including bass, down and the Polks up. As relators say: "location, location, LOCATION!" I purchased the KLIPSCH because I had bought a pair of 5" 2 way KLIPSCH bookshelf speakers for my bedroom driven off a small DENON. I was AMAZED at what I started hearing! The 2 small ones "$old" the larger KLIPSCH speakers. The RP-5000Fs are now being driven by a 1985 vintage (125w x 2, 8 ohms) YAMAHA receiver with music from CDs run thru a 1985 Sony CD player. The combination works GR8! In my former office the KLIPSCH deliver clear, clean music from my old CDs. A happy listener all the way around. :) DFO

Amazing Sound

These towers are awesome. I was blown away by how much sound they produce for the size. I love the low profile size of these towers since I did not want anything too large for my living room. I am hearing details in songs I did not know even existed. Have it hooked up to a turntable and vinyls sounds so good on these. I'm not huge on bass, so these are more than enough for me. Others may disagree but hooking up a sub would easily take care of that. I heard these side by side with the 6000f and for some reason, these just sounded more crisp so I went with them.

Klipsch speakers,Great sound , exceptional

Great purchase, these Klipsch speakers look great and sound better; excellent highs and decent lows , I'm not a bass nut, these provide good bass and exceptional treble . Tim , my sales rep from Crutchfield helped me a great deal when I explained what I wanted in a system , he hit it out of the park. If your looking at a big box store or Amazon , FORGET it, no sound experts there and the same pair of speakers on Amazon were over $1,000, nearly double the price from Crutchfield ,,, these sound amazing ..

Great speakers, bought to replace some smaller fronts on my surround sound system. Mids and highs are great, lows are a bit lacking, but that's a given for the woofer size. May end up moving to the rear and getting a different pair for front.

Good value at the Crutchfield price

I actually sent these back, after trying them for a little over a month. Don't get me wrong - for the price, they are really good. Obviously well-made. I believe these are assembled in China (I could be wrong), and I'd rather have US made products. Highs were a little harsh for me, and as contradictory as it sounds, voices, acoustic guitars, and percussion (except for a bass kick drum) all seemed a bit muted. They imaged beautifully, and were very nice looking. Truth is, I wanted Heresy IVs, and I cheaped out. Gotta love Crutchfield, though - they made returning the RP-5000Fs easy, and a new pair of Heresy IVs in Black Ash will arrive today or tomorrow, from Crutchfield. I'm almost 67 - my wife said, "you should get what you really want." Wise girl, that wife of mine!

I really wanted Heresy IVs, but just could not bring myself to spend 5 times as much as these little speakers. These do a great job. They aren't as 'open' as the Heresy, but they image nicely and have great presence. I added an SVS SB1000R sub to give a good, solid low end, and that really lets these speakers shine. Some day, I'll get those Heresy IVs...

Great sound, small(ish) footprint

I have a pair of Klipsch KG4 speakers I bought in the 1990's with dual 8" woofers that sound great, but needed to replace them with some speakers with a smaller footprint to fit our new space better. I was worried that the RP-5000F speakers with dual 5 1/4" woofers might sound thin, but I was pleasantly surprised that these sound just as good if not better than the KG4s. I'm not an audiophile so someone with better ears may disagree, but especially for the price these speakers are wonderful.

Klipsch RF-5000 speakers

After many years of listening to a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers, I moved my stereo setup from my office to our living room. The Klipsch bookshelfs were great for a small home office, but not for a living room especially due to the limited bass response. I knew the company had a great history of producing high end speakers as well, so I started off looking at their more budget oriented $750-$1000 a pair floor standing line. I noticed that Crutchfield had discounted the RF-5000F as Klipsch had come out with the RF-5000F IIs. I had an online chat with one of the Crutchfield customer service rep and asked him if there were any major sound quality differences between the two that an average listener would notice, and he basically said no. I appreciated his honesty and the absence of any pressure to upsell me to the higher priced model. I decided to go with the original version at their discounted price. I figured with Crutchfield's generous 60 day return policy, I couldn't go wrong. I listen to mostly jazz, 70s an 80s classic rock and a little classic music on LPs and CDs. I have an Onkyo TX-8020 50w per channel receiver, Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT -USB turntable and a Teac P650 CD deck. I listen to mostly classic jazz, 70s and 80s classic rock and a little classical music. These speakers sound great with all of my music collection from vocals to instrumentals. I will be a return Crutchfield buyer due to their customer service and competitive pricing.

Great quality speaker for the price point

I'm very impressed with the sound these speakers produce. Using the same philosophy I employ with wines when I'm on a budget - don't buy the cheapest offering on the menu but the next one up because for a little extra cost, there's usually a disproportionate jump in quality - I elected to buy the RP-5000F's over the RP-4000F's. Now, I can't compare the two, but what I can say is that I am pleased with this decision. I did manage to catch these on sale, which is always good. They are being powered by an Onkyo TX-8220 receiver, and the combination seems to work well together. The sounds are crisp, the "feel" is true, and for towers they don't take up a ton of space.

Perfect fit!

These are good speakers, great sound clarity. I use them mainly for home theater, so they are pair with a subwoofer. I have played music out of them and if you are looking for good lows, or bass at all, I'd go for the bigger 6 or 8" woofers. For home theater, they are pretty awesome. They are pretty slim and sit head level while sitting on the couch in front of them, definitely immersing you in sound. I got matching center and bookshelf speakers, I'm using a Yamaha Aventage A4A that pushes everything flawlessly. With clarity and more than enough power even at the higher volumes. Definitely recommend these for home theater, or small rooms for single use. And of course the people at Crutchfield are second to none!! They exceed all expectations of service!!! I upgraded a 20 year old Polk system, and now I'm hearing things I never knew were there.

I've always wanted to own a pair of Klipsch speakers but they always seemed to be out of reach as far as the cost. I purchased these on sale and saved. I believe it was $400 and that made it doable. I can't get over the sound; how crisp it is, and it has excellent bass response. I'm really pleased with the purchase and would recommend these for anyone who is not wanting to break the bank to get quality speakers.

Just What I Needed!

These entry-level speakers are the quality I've come to expect from Klipsch. I enjoy the crisp highs produced by the tweeters most of all. I still need to purchase a Klipsch 10" subwoofer to round the rest of my system. I will be back for that piece shortly. I enjoy classical music and these deliver what I need without being overpowering.

Klipsch RP-500F speakers, honest review

I'm not an expert on stereo systems, speakers, components, but these speakers were offered by the sales team and I'm glad I listened to him. They are able to take the watts from a 100 watt receiver and absolutely sound like they should. In fact, loud is ware they start to shine. Depth, bass, treble, mid range settings all work together for a real stereo system for your home. The sales team is really informed about these products, I learned alot listening to my rep as he explained these klipsch rp500f speakers. The 'team 'here at crutchfield is a real pleasure to do business with. Genuine concern, which is very hard to find these days, made my mind up period about future purchases. In fact, I'm putting another order together rite now for another set of klipsch RP-600M for my music room to go behind my music chair. Instructions are straight forward. My main reason for this review is pointing directly at the sales team and tech support when I called for assistance. With out hesitation concern to help me is top notch. If you are looking to upgrade, or start fresh like I did, don't hesitate to call crutchfield for all your needs and concerns, they're here to help you with every step of your journey. I'm so happy I made the call.

I ordered these to replace a pair of bookshelf speakers used as front left and right speakers for my home theater setup. I also ordered a Klipsch RP-404c center speaker to complete the setup. The new system sounds fantastic. Dialogue is much easier to understand, and the 5000Fs give a much better and balanced soundstage for the listening to movies. They also provide a much fuller listening experience for music. I moved the 5000Fs out about three feet from the TV and that seemed to work better than having them right next to the TV stand. I chose these because the space available in my home was limited by the cove the TV is placed in and could not accept speakers whose depth was greater than about 14 inches. I am very pleased with all of these speakers and would not hesitate to recommend them. I also liked the fact that they were delivered very quickly and in very well cushioned packages.

Hitting the Sweet Spot

The speakers were shipped with highly effective packaging and arrived in perfect condition. Set up was relatively painless, although it was surprising that the terminals would not accept banana plugs. As another reviewer also observed, at first the speakers sounded a bit too harsh/bright, although I would not call them tinny. However, with further use, this disappeared. I tested them with the 1812 Overture. The bass on these speakers, working in conjunction with a subwoofer, was phenomenal: it seemed like the cannons were in my living room. The basses and tuba were similarly impressive. On the other side of the musical spectrum, flutes and oboes sounded clear and warm. When I watched a movie (Battle: Los Angeles) with the volume turned up, it seemed like I was in the middle of whizzing bullets and grenade explosions. I cannot say that more expensive speakers would not sound better. However, especially with the sale that was in effect, these speakers hit a sweet spot between price and quality. They will not disappoint.

I was a bit skeptical at first about these speakers being acceptable, but a few weeks use has made me a fan. When they arrived, one of the boxes was pretty chewed up, but the speaker was untouched. When i first hooked them up, the sound was sort of shrill, almost tinny--but the break-in period others have spoken of changed all that. the sound is now full and rich,with a surprisingly full bass. Don't think I'll need a sub. I can strongly recommend these speakers to anyone.

The missing link...

My first impressions out of the box: I was a little surprised at their smaller size but loved the look, and the build quality was obvious. As expected, they were a bit tight at first, with marginally less volume and soundstage than I thought they would have. I then re-positioned them a little further away from the wall, cranked up some Dire Straits, and after only a couple of hours I began to hear what everyone has been raving about. Wow. As much as I genuinely enjoyed my ELAC UB51's as my front speakers, I wasn't expecting such a drastic difference between those and the RP-5000's, but I was blown away by the Klipsch's immediacy and pure energy. The treble really sparkles, the vocals really punch and the soundstage is wider and more detailed than any pair of speakers I have ever owned. Their efficiency, compared to the ELAC's (which has an impedance of 4 ohms) means I'm only turning the volume up to about half of what I was having to do before. Don't let the smaller size fool you. These small towers are an absolute beast. They really were the missing link in my home theater/hi res music setup.

A lot of reviews say that these are great speakers for the money. I would go even further and say that these are great speakers period. The sound quality is fantastic for movies and music, they have great bass that compliments and I would say evens out my subwoofer. I have a PS-100SW which before I got these sounded very boomie (which I like, don't get me wrong) , but now these have evened it out for a nice smooth/strong bass. Size is also a bonus, they are the same height as my entertainment center so they blend in perfectly. You can't go wrong with these speakers.

A Fantastic Product, Period.

The Klipsch RP-5000F is a fantastic product! For this review, I performed a direct comparison between the RP-5000F and similar-sized competitors such as the JBL Studio 570, PSB Alpha T20, and Sony SSCS3. I tested a variety of tv shows, movies, an genres of music. The Klipsch speakers were the clearest, hit the lowest, and sounded all-around the best of the bunch. That being said, I originally purchased the JBL 570s (which were 2nd best) because at the time, the Klipsch were 50% more expensive and I didn't think the price justified the relatively small difference in performance. However, later I had the opportunity to get the Klipsch at a similar price and jumped on it (and sold the JBLs). If you have the space for larger floorstanding/tower speakers, go with the larger speaker every time, as you'll get better performance. But for my limited space constraints, the RP-5000F were exactly what I needed and was looking for. Value is subjective and these aren't cheap, but most cheaper speakers are going to sound inferior in this size range and I think the Klipsch are the best performers for the size. I'll never feel the need to upgrade again! Kudos to Crutchfield for providing a great deal, great customer service, and a great experience overall.

I have to say, for the price, these are pretty unbelievable. I own a pair of Bowers and Wilkens bookshelf speakers and, depending on the music, the Klipsch RP-5000F normally surpass them for sound quality! The clarity and presence are very, very good. I definitely recommend these speakers for those with a lower end budget.

I have had these speakers for a couple of weeks and they sound great. The highs and mids are crisp and clear and the woofers do have some thump to them with the sub woofer off. I have an older Denon AVR 2000 and waiting for my new X2700H to get here. I can only imagine that the clarity and sound would only get better even though it sounds great now. I have cranked up the volume to see what it will do. No distortion, crackiness, or fluttering of the woofers. I hope they stay that way for years to come.

I chose these rather than the 6000's because of size restrictions. Was a bit worried about them being a bit too small (sound wise) for my home theater. Not at all. These are great - for movies and music. Highly recommended.

I replaced a couple JBL 100 watt with these. These Klipsch are 10 times better. I'm so happy I purchased them. Great $ deal as well amp

These definitely exceeded my expectations. The highs are crisp and clear, and not fatiguing at all. The bass is incredible considering the 5.25 woofers. Not to mention they look great too! Highly recommended.

RP 5000

Great sound especially at low volume. Also very good base beyond expectations. Have 2 pair of Klipsch book shelve speakers and was considering another pair over the RP 5000 because of satisfaction level. Very happy I switched it up and went with the 5000's as sound is even more complete given the added base.

Our Klipsch speakers are exactly what we'd hoped they would be. Sound is wonderful whether listening to Mozart, Led Zeppelin or Joe Sample. They look great as well.

Great dynamic sound

I am putting together a combination hi-fi/ home theater system, and these will be my front left and right speakers. I wanted dynamic "punchy" speakers, and I found them in the RP-5000F. Heavy drum fills jump out of the speakers in a pleasing way. Heavy overdrive guitar tones sound rich and nuanced. I did have to play around with the placement to find the best sound. I have them about 14" from the wall, and I'm happy with this compromise on placement. If I move them closer to the wall, I gain a little bass, but they become a little boomy and muddy. If I pull them away from the wall, stereo imaging improves a tiny bit, but the bass falls away pretty dramatically. For now, I'm happy with the placement, but I may move them just a couple inches further into the room when I eventually add a subwoofer. They are very efficient. I have yet to purchase a theater receiver, so I've been testing them with an integrated amplifier with only 25 watts per channel. Even with this modest power, these speakers can be quite loud. My only minor complaint is that they can be pretty bright. That said, the treble- as well as the other frequencies- is clear and detailed. My issue is really just that my integrated amplifier has no EQ controls. I will be sure to buy a theater receiver with EQ controls, because I think a minor reduction of treble is all these need to be perfect for the price.

Excellent speakers. Very pleased.

These are amazing speakers. The family is thrilled. They are perfect for fronts for our home theater, paired with a Denon AVX-3700. Also phenomenal for listening to Tidal in 2.0. It's hard to pick speakers without hearing them in person. I took a leap based on the review and advice from Crutchfield. Happy I did! I was concerned these would be too bright or hard to listen to for extended periods, or be lacking in bass. Not at all. Balanced and clear. I listen to a variety of music, from Lumineers to Petty to Yo Yo Ma. All sound very present and detailed, accurate. Note that the metal base is built into the speaker and it tapers (wider at the front). The dimensions for the speaker are actually the max width of the base; the speaker itself is narrower. I was somewhat constrained in placement because of a piece of furniture - the wider base actually fit under table. No problem. Highly recommended. these speakers.

Right on the fair value line.

Clear, precise nice bang for the buck speakers for my 4K system.

These are awesome speakers. They sound good a lower volume but turn them up and they come to life. Mine are powered by a Sonos 250watt amp.

2.0 feels like 5.1

I have a pair of Klipsch bookshelf speakers. When it was time to upgrade to something with more capabilities, I bought a pair of these. I was not disappointed. I currently run a 2.0 setup (waiting for more speakers to arrive) but with my 7.2 receiver, sometimes I hear sounds behind me. I don't know how they do it, but with only 2 of these, it seems like I have a 5.1 system. You almost don't need a subwoofer. I will be a Klipsch customer for life.
