help Klipsch RP-500M FAQ
What size drivers are in the Klipsch RP-500M?
The Klipsch RP-500M uses a 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofer and a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter. The tweeter sits in Klipsch's Tractrix horn, which is central to the Reference Premiere sound.
Do the Klipsch RP-500M speakers need a subwoofer?
For music in a small room, the RP-500M can sound lively on its own, but its 5.25-inch woofer will not deliver deep home-theater bass. Pairing it with a Klipsch, SVS, or REL subwoofer makes sense for movies and electronic music.
Are the RP-500M speakers good for rock and metal?
Yes, their horn-loaded tweeter and punchy midbass suit energetic genres like rock, pop, and metal. People who prefer a softer British sound from brands like KEF or Wharfedale may find the Klipsch presentation more forward.
What amplifier works with Klipsch RP-500M speakers?
The RP-500M is relatively easy to drive compared with many bookshelf speakers because Klipsch designs tend to be high-sensitivity. A normal stereo amp or AV receiver from Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, or Onkyo is usually enough for a small or medium room.
