I used these speakers as surrounds and they were decent. However they had little to no low end. This would be a real problem when objects moved across the sound field to the fronts (which were Pioneer Elite atmos bookshelves. For that reason I ultimately returned them and moved the pioneers to the back

I was looking for small, wired speakers for my "old, but high end" receiver. I was replacing 3 foot speakers. Since I wanted something to replace these and not have a " high tech" home theatre system, I search long and hard. I'm in my sixties and just wanted music in my house again but I wanted something smaller that were less noticeable.
These speakers pack a punch! I can't imagine anything more powerful for a mid-large sized ranch home. The sound is well balanced.
For the price, I feel I bought exactly what I needed.

Went the klipsch speakers on our night stands. Amazing sound quality. These speakers rank right up their with my Boss home theater speakers I have in my living room. Want real life action or wanna feel like your in a movie theater. Hook these up the TV reciever in your bedroom. Perfect size for corner mounting near nightstands or sitting them on the corner of your nightstand. Feel the action all around you. A MUST HAVE FOR BEDROOM TV WATCHERS!

I bought these to connect to an old Onkyo head unit I use for a turn table and my desktop. These are very clean and clear with great range. Don't expect booming bass or anything but it will still impress in this category.
They provide room filling sound without distortions or seeming loud.
I got them when they were on sale for $149.99 and would have paid full pop at MSRP. The next step up is the R15P but those are $349.99 and I'm not sure I would be able to tell much of a difference.
If you are looking at these speakers just go ahead and buy them you will not be disappointed.

This Klipsch R-14 bookshelf speaker delivers great sound for it's size. I am currently using this as my surround speakers and all those background noises you usually can't here coming from your tv when watching a movie or playing a video game sound so clear and crisp with this speakers. I definitely recommend this speakers to anyone and everyone.

These bookshelf Klipsch speakers pack twice the quality and power into packages that are perfect for any spot in the home. I am hard pressed to test their limit on volume, tone -- especially bass notes. Audiophile quality for sure.

I had no idea how much speakers can cost these days until I started looking for a new surround sound system. Klipsch makes a great speaker at a great price; of course you can spend more (the next step up carried by Best Buy sound better but cost a lot more), but these fit my budget and sound great.

Initially I had bought the surround speakers for my home theater. While they were nice for diffusing the sound in the rear, I missed the directional sound needed in gaming. I returned them and bought these. If you know of Klipsch horn tweeter sound and you like it, you won't be disappointed. I love them for my rear channels and they complete my little theater very nicely.

Klipsch has been known in the speaker business for many many years and has always been one of the best lines out there. To do that, you have to put quality and affordability into a package that delivers more than what the consumer would expect. These speakers simply outshine any other brand you'll find at your BB store.

This is an excellent speaker for limited space applications. As other reviews noted, somewhat light in bass response. If you want to rattle the windows, you'll need a sub-woofer added to these.

I needed to replace busted old speaking so looked around and read some reviews. My conclusion was Klipsch are probably if not are the best on the market. They are a bit pricy...but why pay for cheap stuff that will break. I love them and the sound is pretty decent. I only have the pair, but working on upgrading all my speakers to Klipsch.

These speakers were purchased because other reviews said they sound good and because of my previous positive experience with Klipsch.
Yes they DO sound good, especially for a small speaker. They are a bit brighter than my older Klipsch KG 1's but that is to be expected. They also seem well made. I am very happy with them and recommend them.

I was looking at the b*se bookshelf speakers when the BB sales person pointed me in this direction. Skeptical, I said thanks and went home to review online. Turns out BB had some open box which came to same price as the others and these have better sound...at least to my ears, as well, the specs are better all around.

The voices are very crisp and clear. We don't have to turn the TV up so loud anymore to hear the people talking on the shows. Great speakers for a very good price.
