Product review summary
This page is intentionally secondary to the manual page and exists to provide review-oriented context.
The Klipsch RP-600M Reference Premiere Bookshelf Speakers are a great addition to any home theater system. With a 1" titanium tweeter and 6.5" spun copper cerametallic woofers, these speakers deliver crystal-clear sound and robust bass. The vented tweeter design reduces standing waves for a smoother high frequency reproduction, while the rear Tractrix port creates ideal airflow with minimal distortion. The dual input terminals allow for bi-wiring or bi-amping. Users have noted that these speakers are very efficient and dynamic, with a wide soundstage and great with rock, blues, jazz or classical music. Some users have found the bass to be a bit muddy and uncontrolled and the speakers to be less resolving in the highs and mids compared to other speakers at a similar price point. However, they are still a great value for the price and a great option for home theater use.

- Wide soundstage

They weigh 16.1 pounds and have dimensions of 8 x 118 x 157 inches.
Q: Can these speakers be used as desktop speakers?
A: Yes, they can be used as desktop speakers, but they sound their best when placed 1 1/2-2 feet from the wall to allow them to breathe.
Q: What is the difference between the "ebony" and "piano black" colors of the Klipsch RP-600M Reference Premiere Bookshelf Speakers?
A: The "ebony" color has a wood grain finish while the "piano black" color has a smooth lacquer finish without visible wood grain.
Q: Do these speakers have a built-in pre-amp like the r-51pm? If not, what external amplifier is recommended?
A: No, these speakers do not have a built-in pre-amp or amplifier. An external amplifier that supplies close to 100 Watts per channel at 8 Ohms is recommended.
Q: Why are there two pairs of terminals on the back of each speaker when I only need one to connect them to the back of my amplifier?
A: The top two terminals on the RP-600M are for the tweeter and the bottom two terminals are for the woofer on that model for optional bi-wiring or bi-amp connections.
Q: What are the dimensions of these speakers?
A: The Klipsch RP-600M Reference Premiere Bookshelf Speakers have dimensions of roughly 8 in wide x12 in deep x16 in tall.
Q: Can these speakers take banana clips speaker wires in the post?
A: Yes, you can remove the small round plastic caps on the very end of the terminals and use banana plugs. Do not remove the plastic wire nuts that are used to tighten bare speaker wire to the terminals.
Q: Is the price of $472 for two RP-600M speakers?
A: Yes, it is for both speakers.
Q: Would a nice quality DAP pair well with these speakers?
A: Yes, any source that is neutral to warm should pair well and balance out these speakers. If your sources tend to be bright, high frequency focused, you may want to make sure you have tone control somewhere in your setup.
Overall, while these speakers are very efficient and dynamic, they may not be as resolving in the highs and mids compared to other speakers at a similar price point. The bass can also be a bit muddy and uncontrolled due to port tuning.
