great sound

 

This speaker sounds great as rear surround speakers and even better when using system for 5 channel stereo. Highly recommended for larger rooms. As stand alone speakers they have very strong and clear sound with good lows and great mids and highs.

all praise

 

beautiful sound. surprisingly, not the loud highs i was expecting. highs are tame and well balanced, not overwhelming at all. great midrange and reverberant lows. very happy with this purchase.

Very Nice!

 

These speakers sound terrific. We wanted to have the speakers off of the floor becuase the room has a high volume of foot traffic. These look great and perform very well.

Solid value

 

After agonizing for a month about what speakers to select for my NAD 35 wpc amp, I chose the Klipsch RB 51 ll. Nice highly efficient speaker for small amp with a powered sub woofer. They are just OK for use as left and right speaker w/o the subwoofer.

I am a musician, and the quality of the music I listen to is very very important to me. I had been researching bookshelf speakers for months before deciding on these. In my local audio specialty store's listening room, I was able to do a side by side...

Product Specifications

Built to the same exacting standards as the Reference Series floorstanding models, the RB-51 represents an ideal combination of technology, performance and design. In fact, this well-thought-out speaker design will forever change the way you think about audio. Exclusive Tractrix Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RB-51, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a powerful neodymium motor structure to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless dynamics. The RB-51 employs a 5.25-inch woofer for a solid bass foundation. This Cerametallic woofer with inverted copper dust cap exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. Increased baffle ribbing around the horn mouth dramatically improves acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RB-51 features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring. The RB-51 comes with a low-diffraction, magnetically attached grille to further accentuate the elegance of this speaker.
