Free Shipping (Contiguous U.S. Only)

General:
The Klipsch RP-500M II are compact bookshelf/standmount loudspeakers. Part of the Klipsch Reference Premiere series, they are designed for high performance at an affordable price.

This pair is practically brand new and show absolutely no wear. 

Only one step below the RP-600M, the 500M also delivers dynamic bass and the lively sound that Klipsch is known for.

Being the MKII variant, they feature several key architectural improvements over the original generation. This includes a larger 90° x 90° silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn that extends further across the front baffle for enhanced high-frequency directivity and a much wider, more accurate soundstage. The titanium LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) tweeter is paired with a vented housing design that helps reduce standing waves and unwanted high-frequency harmonics.

Below, the redesigned 5.25-inch Cerametallic cone woofer incorporates an upgraded voice coil structure and aluminum shorting rings to lower distortion and improve efficiency. The crossover network and internal wiring have also been optimized for cleaner signal transfer. Dual input binding posts allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping capabilities.

This pair is practically brand new and shows absolutely no wear. Comes with everything just like new including the original Klipsch box and inner packing for safe shipping.

Testing Process:
Our speaker evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, dented tweeter domes, and cone damage. We also inspect the speaker connection points for loose or broken connectors.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the speakers to a reference amplifier with our preferred test tracks. With the speakers placed with proper distance we listen to each driver to make sure that they are producing the intended frequencies with no signs of distortion or rattle.

During listening tests with test tracks we check for proper stereo imaging and bass response at various listening levels. If there are any audible signs of issues, the speakers are taken to the bench where we perform a frequency sweep to isolate the issue so that it can be resolved by component repair or replacement.

Our subwoofer evaluation process starts with a visual inspection of all drivers. We are looking for damaged or deteriorating woofer surrounds, cone damage, or rubbing voice coils. We also inspect the input connections for damage.

After the initial visual inspection we connect the sub at our bench and perform a sine wave sweep from about 200 Hz down to around 10 Hz. During this sweep we are listening for excessive rattle or other signs of improper function.

If the sweep passes we then increase the input level to evaluate how the woofer performs at high output levels. If the woofer has built-in crossover adjustments or multiple connection options these features are tested at this time.

We complete the subwoofer evaluation by feeding the unit with an audio signal in conjunction with our house music system to see how it responds to low frequency content in real world conditions while paired with a full range system.
