Excellent Sound from a Versatile Speaker

My use case:
* Looking for a powered speaker to avoid matching amps, receivers, etc.
* Sounds good in a smaller space, as I live in a studio apartment.
* Near-field chops, as I would be putting them on my desk.
* Handle a variety of music, games and movies.
* Enough bass that I wouldn't immediately want a sub.
* Inputs for USB, optical and RCA.
* Bonus points for looking good.

Pros:
* Matched everything I was looking for.
* Looks amazing. You won't want to use the included magnetic cloth grills.
* Came with all possibly needed cables. (USB, RCA, and Optical)
* They were even on sale for $100 off.

Cons:
* A very slight ambient noise / hiss when they are on but not playing, even when volume is turned completely down. I only notice this because I'm using them on my desk.
* Volume knob is on the back, basically requiring you to use the remote. Again, this is only a problem because I use them on my desk.
* I really wish I could upload a picture so you can see how awesome they are in a real space.

Summary:
* I tried out the Edifier R1850DBs, Kanto YU6s and Fluance Ai60s before landing on the Klipsch R-51PMs. I'm not disappointed and I don't think you will be either.

P.S. If you get a chance to go to their local Raleigh showroom, you should do so if you don't mind wanting to part with the contents of your wallet. I went to pick up an online order, and even though I missed the obvious sign to head to the back of the shop, Jon Day, the sales designer I met, was happy to talk shop about the speakers I was picking up, and potential alternatives if they didn't work out.

A rockin' pair of speakers!

I'm a big rock fan, and these speakers handle my taste in music with ease. They are loud, but do not sound distorted when I crank the volume. If you are into rock like me, give these a try.
