It's annoying that Best Buy doesn't include the exact speaker name in the title. But you can usually find it just under the title where it says model. R-50-M II, or R-50M. Also on sale directly from Klipsch [klipsch.com].

Thumbs up and repped.
I have the little brothers, the R-40M Next Gen with 4" woofers. I have them on my desktop, toed in, and turn them perpendicular to the wall for when I'm not near-field. My first Klipshes and the new tweeter cones don't have the harsh fatiqueing treble that kept me away from Klipsch in the past. BTW I paid $160 on Woot about a year ago. Wonder if these 5" ones might go even cheaper? Retail price is insanely inflated IMO. Must admit that I think these look great, not that that's a great reason to buy speakers, but they sound good to me, especially after aclimating to them.

So difficult to copy the UPC code off of BB and paste it in your browser or in Amazon search.

Research is so tedious and labor intensive.

Glad to see you got a thumbs down but only because some a-hole gave my comment a thumbs down too. laugh out loud
You're right. Sometimes I think BB is actually trying to put themselves out of business.
I don't know if they do it with speakers, but with computers they obsfuscate because they sometimes have manufacturers make a product for them that has worse components and isn't up to specs for the model on the manufacturer's website.

Probably worth the extra $70 for reference premier second gen (RP 500m ii) over these reference speakers. Improvements in gen 2 are pretty significant for music listening.

Yes it is. I noticed the same issues on other products as well. I think BestBuy doesn't want people comparing prices easily

I was just thinking about that..but BestBuy has open box for $188 and this is my first Klipsch so don't want to spend too much. I may not like their sound signature..horn speakers and bright? But I recently tested MartinLogan 35xti which some people considered to be in the bright side and i love it .
