What customers say about "Size & Weight"
Klipsch RB-51 II 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers, Black
  • These are perfectly sized with good sized woofer. These are real deal speakers for the price.
  • Great sound. Size fits easily in my entertainment center. Great small profile option.
  • Excellent sound. And a very compact size. Weight exceeded expectations, it is not a heavy and no light speaker.
  • It is very easy to hang on the wall because it is very light.
  • Most of all I was disappointed with its size, which turned out to be large in depth.
Klipsch RB-61 II Reference Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers, Black (Pair)
  • This is a relatively small speaker and for the size it is absolutely one of the nicest sounding speakers I have ever heard.
  • Our room is medium sized. It fits the room perfectly. Not too loud, but it has no issues filling the air with sound.
  • The sound is incredible for a speaker this size. Really nice speaker.
  • If you're looking for high sound quality bookshelf sized speakers, you won't be disappointed with these.
  • They are very attractive and very substantial in size and weight.

What customers say about "Audio"
Klipsch RB-51 II 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers, Black
  • They may not be large, however they will fill a medium size room with clear crisp mids and highs and adequate bass.
  • These speakers reproduce sound across their range with precision and, as I said, a very clean sound.
  • They have a great mid and bass response to the lower limit of their frequency response but if you want thumping, pounding bass you'll still need to augment them with something.
  • Sound quality is amazingly good and well beyond what I had expected with these speakers.
  • The sound is very balanced: lows, mids, highs sound similar in volume.
Klipsch RB-61 II Reference Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers, Black (Pair)
  • The sound is so full and warm. They get great bass as well.
  • Sound is clear as a bell and so smooth. They are a high quality speaker for the price you pay.
  • Perfect set up for movies, games, tv, sports, or all of the above. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking for a great value surround sound.
  • The sound is very well balanced. Previously I had the Klipsch RM-15 which are detailed but they are smaller so the sound is more restricted.
  • They are well defined and clear, and the bass has plenty of presence but not as deep as my old speakers. In my opinion, nothing but clear powerful sound.
