With 5.25" copper-spun, magnetically shielded IMG woofers and 1" aluminum diaphragm compression tweeters, these Klipsch Reference R-15PM monitors deliver lush cross-spectrum sound. Bluetooth technology simplifies pairing with select audio devices.

I have owned many Klipsch speakers, including the r-15m passive speakers for $249 which I thought were essentially the same sounding speakers as these but non powered. I was a bit disappointed with the passive version r-15m as they didn't have the crystal clear highs and open midrange I was used to with klipsch. I recently sold my Klipsch RP-260f's in the effort to simplify and downsize my system and chose to buy these r15-pm hoping they would sound better than the passive version I had once before. When I hooked them up and gave them a listen, initially I wasn't impressed, they sounded boxy and muffled. I gave them the day of mid level volume of continuous playback to break them in and they opened up. They now sound miles ahead of the passive version. I have a paradigm subwoofer hooked up and they sound great. I am really amazed that they sound so clear and play so loud without strain. I think a subwoofer is a must to fill out the bottom end. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants a simple high quality stereo sound for the modern age or even classics on vinyl. My only complaint would be the remote. It is small and cramped. An option to buy a higher quality one should be in the works.

You'll enjoy spacious, detailed home theater sound from the compact soundbar that fits easily in front of your TV, while the Acoustimass® module delivers deep bass that brings whatever you watch to life.

I have had my eye on this system since it came out. I seen that it was a "deal of the day" on bb website so I went and bought it. I've had it setup up for little over a week and I am very impressed with the quality of sound from highs to lows, especially lows on tv programs. I previously had a Vizio sb3821c6 model, which is entry level and the Bose is definitely a far higher quality unit, from the sound to the universal remote. Years back I had a Bose cinemate system with two small speakers and the identical to this systems acoustimass module. I feel that it's been drastically improved. The volume knob on the back of the unit and the quality of bass/distinguished bass notes that the older cinemate didn't reproduce. The sound bar itself is very compact and sounds good, with the exception that it's spaciousness and clarity is only as good as the content being played. The remote also is well constructed and of high quality. I highly recommend this system, especially with the sale price.

I originally purchased the 32gb model in black and exchanged it for the 256gb Jet Black. The phones desigh is very similar to the 6 which I like. The camera is vastly improved and I enjoy taking raw photos via adobe lightroom. I hear complaints about the battery life but I am able to get a full day out of a charge using the phone frequently. I don't miss the headphone port. Lighting EarPods are included and an adapter if you choose to use the standard style headphones. I recommend a good case for the Jet Black model as it is very shiny and seems more delicate to scratches. I purchased the Apple silicone case and it has a nice fabric lining to keep the finish looking top shape.

Experience lush, detailed audio with these Klipsch Reference R-15M bookshelf speakers that feature 5-1/4" copper-spun IMG woofers and 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression tweeters to create a dynamic soundscape.

I bought these on sale for $124.99, Black Friday Sale. I have owned many Klipsch Reference ii speakers and I was surprised to hear that they sound very much like them, given they are a cheaper version. I have them hooked up to a Pioneer Elite VSX-45 receiver and matched with a Polk Subwoofer for a simple stereo setup at the moment. Out of the box the mids sound reserved and muffled. Playing them at moderate volume for just the short time I have had already started to liven them up and break them in a bit, so a good 40-50 of break-in wouldn't hurt before being critical. The highs are very clear and sharp but not overbearing as I found my reference ii series to be. Since I have them paired with a powered subwoofer they are only playing 80hz on up and they do that very well, so I can't judge them full range. The build quality is as good as any Klipsch speaker I've bought before. Highly recommend

How many watts is this system?
