I luv the sound from these speakers. I have always liked Klipsch products. I have a Klipsch Home Theater system in my family room.
These replaced a 4 year old Klipsch Pro-Media 2.1 system, that I outgrew. I had to replace the driver in the woofer three times. I found myself listening to music more and more on my Mac and less and less on my home theater. Next to my new system, the Pro Media system is a toy.
I tried the R-14PM first, but the ones I received had a bad negative terminal on the main speaker, and the sound was a little bright, so I returned them and got the R-15PM. These are paired with the Klipsch R-10SW subwoofer for a 2.1 system. The R-15B is not as bright as the smaller speaker. They sound GREAT IMO and blend very well with the sub. The soundstage is full and bright in my office. The mids are full and the highs are bright and clear.
The reason for the downgrade, is that this speaker has, what I consider to be a serious deficiency. They power off when not in use, and they forget the volume they were at when powered back on. When powered back on, they are at their lowest volume. What makes this a frustrating issue, is that there is no visible indication of what the volume setting is. I called Klipsch and was told there is no way to turn this "feature" off. I inquired about the new replacement speaker, the R-51PM, and was told that they too behave the same way.
EDIT -
I've now had these speakers for 90 days, and I'm still very happy with them. However, I had them coupled with a Monster Aux Cable. DON'T BUY THIS CABLE. It's junk. Very flimsy, and failed at 90 days, first the right than both channels. I have since replaced it with a cable from another supplier, much cheaper and superior and heavier construction. While waiting for the new cable, I used a digital signal using USB. In my opinion the DAC in my Mac Pro is better then the one in the Klipsch speakers. When Using USB, the speakers didn't forget the volume like the do with the analog signal. But, when using a source with intermittent sound like normal computer alerts or a game, the sound is choppy and goes in and out. Usually out. When play something with steady sound like music, the sound is fine.

Customer Questions & Answers
Customer reviews
I first experienced the quality of Klipsch products about five years ago when I purchased a 5.1 Synergy Series setup. Since then I have been closely watching the evolution of the brand and admired the constant innovation they have produced. The R-15PM's are the perfect example of their persistent progression. These speakers will allow you to experience Reference quality audio with a myriad of input options at a competitive price. I was raving to someone after my purchase and told them I planned to pair them with a sub. They responded saying the speakers must not be that good if you are required to buy an additional subwoofer. Make no mistake these monitors do not require a sub but the fact that you can add one is another reason why they rock so hard.UPDATE 11-28-16I still am in love with these speakers and have no complaints. These are now a must buy with the price where it is at. I also mounted mine and wanted to show them off.
