Pros & Cons
Pros
The a-s501 has a pure direct feature that by-passes the tone controls on the amp. They are all connected to yamaha rx-v683 receiver (to give you a context of the complete audio setup) rated at 8 ohms, these speakers are very easy to drive so you won't... Read More
The rp160m speakers are all that they claim to be. My system looks spartan with bookshelf 160's and a tiny amp, and thanks to the 160's fights like a spartan.
The ub5's imaging is well known and almost 3d like. The tweeter is very detailed but unlike previous klipsch speakers these are not fetiging. The 43uf clarity cap csa 250v 39uf + clarity cap cmr 3.
Cons
The rsb-11 soundbar turns itself off taking the tv with it. The bi-amp; bi-wire function is a gimmick with no added-value/power. Klipsch has no interest in being a company that supports customers or honoring warranty.

Price
These are beyond impressive for the price.
I really do love them and scored a great deal on another website during a sale for $138 a pair.

My prior speakers were $100 polks, that i bought at electronic express.

The worse thing about this seller, is how they ship it, it took 10 days although it was a prime product and i have a prime membership.
It had to go so many states to get delivered to me.
It was shipped from nv, ut, co, ok, ms before getting here in fl.

Competitiveness
I can compare them directly with the elac uni-fi ub5s since i own both.
I'm sure i didn't full exhaust all other options either, but these are some of the ones:elac debut b6 (apparently compares well... Read More
These speakers paired with the yamaha a-s301 is a serious contender for best sub-$1000 combo in the 2.
I also considered the klipsch 600s which won speaker of the year, but these are the predecessors and perform very similar.
