Just curious if anyone has a set of Klipsch R50-PM powered blue tooth bookshelf speakers and if so how you like them?
Many thanks!

No experience with them directly - but Klipsch has made some very nice bookshelf speakers over the years - wouldn't expect these to be different.

There are a pair of R15-PM's on the local craigslist for a VERY nice price. I need another pair of speakers like I need another hole in my head, but still tempting!

I bought these Todd and a sub to go with them! Talk about all in?

Yeah - that ought to do it.

I like mine. Good clear sound.

How did you hook up a subwoofer?

I got the Klipsch Reference R-10SWi which is a 10" driver that's rear ported. It's designed to be hooked up via bluetooth but you can also run a RCA cable from the sub out on the back of the right powered speaker to the sub which is what I did. Cruthchfield had an open box special on it and it was $259. It's important (I think) to turn off the dynamic bass response on the speakers themselves when using the sub...not necessary.
