Description
90 x 90 Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix HornHorn loading maximizes efficiency and increases detail while focusing high frequencies on the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined the cleanest most natural sound possible is created. The second generation increases horn size for a larger soundstage and enhanced directivity.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm TweeterThe exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines making them a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter DesignThe vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
Cerametallic Woofers All-New DesignA signature feature of the Reference Premiere series Cerametallic woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. New voice coils are 70% larger in diameter resulting in improved power handling and greater cone control for greater linearity and flawless reproduction. New aluminum shorting rings reduce distortion as well as increase power handling and the new motor structure improves transit response with more control greater speed and accuracy.
Tractrix PortsUtilizing Tractrix geometry the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient fastest air transfer from the cabinet which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix ports have custom-designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner more powerful bass.
New and Improved Input PanelFeaturing audiophile-grade wire and easily accessible aluminum binding posts for any connection type.
Furniture Grade Materials and FinishesFinishes include ebony vinyl and walnut vinyl that boast satin painted baffles with a scratch-resistant finish.
Strong Flexible Removable GrilleAttaches magnetically for an elegant transition from a powerful showstopper to a discrete performance piece.
Cork PadsCork pads replace rubber bumpers for security on a stand or table.

This might explain: WOW! These speakers were an upgrade from previous Klipsch mains. My whole HT 5.1 system, are all Klipsch, connected to a Denon 7 channel AVR. I listened/watched several SI-FI movies and was amazed with the dynamics and clarity. I sometimes tune to MP3 internet music from Soft Rock to Symphony, to Folk and Piano, listening to such detail and smoothness, in 2 channel stereo mode. I have a small HT room in the basement, and found the 500's performed tbe best, with them pointed straight out into the room. With distance to the mains and 55" QLED TV, at 6.5 feet. Having these 500M II's, for the mains, has made the movies and music, so much more enjoyable. I love the Klipsch sound. These speakers are 3 weeks old and perform every day.
Beautiful sound

I recently purchased two of these bookshelf speakers as “replacements” for a set of Klipsch KSP-400 floor standing power houses that I’ve had for years. The 400’s were recently the victims of a lightning strike which damaged the subwoofer amplifiers. I knew going in that there was no way the 500M’s were going to sound as good as the 400’s but I was also trying to downsize the footprint and was willing to compromise somewhat to accomplish this. I connected the new speakers to my receiver and began listening to some of my favorite music and knew immediately that I would need a subwoofer. The 500M’s handled the power of the receiver very well without breaking up, but the smaller woofers just didn’t have the bass response. At lower levels, something is missing. It’s not fair for me to compare the 500M’s to the 400’s because they are so different in design. The 500M’s are pretty efficient, but do seem to require more power to sound really great than I expected they would. At loud playing levels these speakers are incredible for their size. With the addition of a subwoofer they lack nothing at all. I currently have these sitting on the floor next to my system. If I didn’t have two large dogs, I would like to have them on speaker stands to get them up at ear level, but I’m afraid they would be knocked over and damaged. Life is full of compromises and this is just one more. All in all I’m very satisfied with this purchase. They are a good pair of speakers for the price.
Great Sound.

I upgraded from a old pair of Klipsch ICON W-14's which in their day were amazing, however this speaker broadened the soundstage and allows for increased depth in music and movie watching. They are an incredible value to performance option ! I highly recommend these, especially due to the improved wide dispersion of the horn tweeter.
Hear what you've been missing.

Replaced two of my smaller Klipsch satellite speakers. I was missing the mid tones. No longer. These speakers sound so good. Especially considering the price

I am very pleased with these speakers. They look good, are well made, and sound great. They are still breaking in a bit, but they are impressive so far. They sound very good without a subwoofer and have more punch than you would expect from a 5". However, adding a small sub (8" or 10") to carry some of the weight on the low end (90Hz was the sweet spot in my room for the crossover) allows the midrange and treble to be just that much sweeter.

These bookshelf speakers sound great and tonality is balanced. In addition, I have a Sony 10" subwoofer. Overall, it exceeded my expectation.

Bought these speakers on crutchfield. Very well built and very clear sound with a lot of dynamics. Paired with a Denon PMA 600, it sounds really great. These speakers don't lie with a "lay back" sound made to please people. You need a good HiFi system to enjoy them, otherwise they will highlight the weakness of your system.
Great addition

Great addition to the small system used in my office. They are used in concert with a 10 inch Klipsch sub and could quite easily overwhelm the room if I really wanted to cut them loose!!
