A pair of bi-directional surround speakers with copper woofers and titanium tweeters, in an ebony vinyl finish. Several listing entries, such as car use and mount type, look wrong, so rely on the driver details.

Overview
A titanium diaphragm tweeter and a spun copper woofer share each cabinet and fire in two directions, spreading the surround sound widely around the listening seat.
Klipsch gives the RP-502S a rich driver description, including linear travel suspension, a vented tweeter and a magnetic grille. The mounting type, antenna and vehicle fields are nonsense for a home speaker, and the frequency entry is a single unit rather than a range.
Who it's for
Home theater builders adding rear surrounds to a Klipsch system suit this pair, especially in rooms where sound should spread widely. Buyers wanting a complete surround set should check that this pair covers only the rear roles.
Pros and cons
- Matched surround pair
- Wide dispersion design
- Scratch resistant vinyl finish
- Some listing entries are clearly wrong
- Mount type unclear
- Frequency response not a range
Performance notes
Bi-directional surrounds spread sound toward the sides and rear so effects feel diffuse rather than pinpointed. The tweeter's titanium diaphragm and vented design shape the high end, while the copper woofer covers the mid range. Amplifier power and speaker placement still decide how convincing the surround field feels.

Is the Klipsch RP-502S a full 5.1 system?
