The RP-500M II is Klipsch's second-generation Reference Premiere bookshelf speaker, a two-way design with a 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofer and a 1-inch titanium tweeter loaded into a 90° x 90° silicone-composite Tractrix horn. The horn is the defining trait: it throws detail and dynamics forward with high sensitivity, so modest amplifiers drive it easily, but the treble is forward and rewards careful placement and toe-in. It suits listeners who want lively, cinematic sound for music and movies in a small-to-mid room, and it competes with other horn and dome bookshelf models on output and build rather than on bass depth, since a 5.25-inch woofer only reaches so low without a subwoofer.

Owners rate the RP-500M II well, praising its clarity, dynamics and build for the size. The recurring complaint is a bright, forward top end that some find tiring, and bass that stops short of full-range without a subwoofer.
The Klipsch RP-500M II is a pair of bookshelf speakers from the Reference Premiere line. Each speaker has a 1-inch LTS titanium tweeter with a vented housing, which reduces standing waves and distortion. The tweeter sits behind a 90° x 90° silicone composite Hybrid Tractrix horn that focuses high frequencies toward the listening area.
The 5.25-inch Cerametallic woofer has aluminum shorting rings and an updated motor structure to lower distortion. A rear-firing Tractrix port moves air quickly and efficiently, which reduces port noise and gives cleaner bass.
The cabinet is internally braced MDF with satin-painted, scratch-resistant baffles and a furniture-grade walnut vinyl finish. A magnetic grille is removable, and cork pads keep the speakers steady on stands or tables. The input panel has single aluminum binding posts and audiophile-grade internal wiring.
