Klipsch

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-500M II bookshelf speakers: a 1-inch titanium tweeter on a 90 x 90 degree hybrid Tractrix horn, a 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofer, a rear-firing Tractrix port, 50 Hz to 25 kHz (±3 dB), 8 ohm compatible, 75 W continuous / 300 W peak. Klipsch quotes 92 dB sensitivity (an in-room figure); Erin’s Audio Corner measured about 85 dB anechoic, so give them an amplifier with real power. Single binding posts, 13.56 x 6.81 x 10.65 in, 13 lb each. Read our RP-500M II roundup of independent reviews. Price and finish on Amazon below.
