Reference Premiere RP-600M II Walnut Bookshelf Speakers

I bought these to pair with my Marantz 2265B that I recently had serviced. These pair wonderfully wiht the Marantz in a fairly large living room. We primarily play records on an old Dual and also stream via WiiM Device. Highs & Mids sound wonderful & it hands off to the wireless klipsch 12" sub very nicely. Handles all kinds of music surperbly at this price point. I am not an aduiophile but some friends that know more than me have commented on how well these speakers sound with the setup. And the aesthetics are nice - The walnut look speaker cabinet goes nicely with the wooden cabinet of the marantz receiver and the midcentry modern stereo credenza we have our records on.

I bought Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II speakers without the benefit of a listening audition because of favorable reports from professional audio reviewers. Turned out to be good choice and definite upgrade over the ELAC Debut 2.0 B5.2 I had been listening to. ELAC makes a good product though they sound less dynamic/exciting (possibly more accurate?) than the Klipsch. Same listening environment, both pairs benefiting from DSP room adjustment. The listening experience definitely improved with burn in time and my personal adjustment the horn-loaded mid/high frequency driver. Quality and appearance come across as first rate – solid build with convincing wood veneer (actually a synthetic wrap). Would buy these again without hesitation.

A good bookshelf speaker has to deliver real presence without taking over the room, and the RP-600M II pair combines serious audio engineering with a handsome walnut finish. The larger 90 by 90 degree Tractrix horn is paired with a 1-inch titanium LTS tweeter and a vented tweeter housing, a design intended to improve clarity while keeping distortion under control. Updated Cerametallic woofers handle the lower frequencies, and the Tractrix ports are shaped for faster airflow and cleaner bass. What I appreciate most is that the design is not only about output. It also focuses on detail, efficiency, and a controlled presentation that works for both music and home theater. These are passive wired speakers, so they require a suitable amplifier rather than connecting directly to a phone or television. Dual input terminals support bi-wiring or bi-amping, but a normal single-wire connection with the terminal jumpers in place remains the straightforward choice for most systems. Furniture-grade materials make the walnut cabinets feel like part of the room instead of equipment that needs to be hidden. This is an excellent, flexible speaker pair with both technical substance and visual appeal.

These speaker sound amazing. Very good bass, midrange is very good without being too forward, treble is a tad on the high side, just a tad, but I kinda like it that way. Paired with a Denon PMA 600NA and the combination sounds very good together. They are worth $649.99 retail but at the price $489.99 they are a steel. I haven't had a good experience with other Klipsch speakers, but these are great and I'm glad I bought them.

I bought a pair of the Klipsch RP-600M-II speakers for use in a second system after we downsized to a condo a couple of years ago. I heard they were too bright and forward but wanted to give them a try after reading a review in Stereophile. After using them for the last couple of years with good amplification, cables, and source components I wanted to give them a review. I have owned and still own some very good stereo equipment from the likes of Cary Audio, Conrad Johnson, Audio Research, Arcam, Naim and the like. Paired with good components and set up correctly on proper speakers stands these speakers are quite good, in fact amazing given the price. I used them primarily with and Arcam SA20 which is on the warmer side of neutral. They sound fantastic, after breaking them in for 20 or so hours they really opened up and have clean clear highs, good mid-range and very good bass response. What really opened my eyes is how efficient these speakers are, I recently paired them with a 3.5 Watt Single Ended Triode vacuum tube amplifier, and they sound great filling my 12 X 12 more than adequately. Good bass, great midrange and silky-smooth highs. These speakers are a winner as long as you don't pair them with bright sounding inexpensive amplification. Anything from Best Buy need not apply.

Probably classified as a low to moderate bookshelf speaker, I have been very satisified with the output and sound of the speakers after the initial breaking in time. I will say that the horn tweater is something that pertains to listening preferential. I am not a huge fan of the horn tweeter. But these speakers are worth the money, and aligned with a good subwoofer, can put out some serious sound. I wanted to add to my previous post. After 13 months of use, and some serious break-in time, I will have to say that these speakers, combined with my Klipsch 10" subwoofer have now turned into a serious addition to my system. Paired with the Denon 2800 AVR and changing speaker cables from 16 gauge cables to 12 gauge cables, it was like someone flipped on the switch of clarity. I was debated about unloadng these because I just did not like the horn tweeter. But now it is as if the overall bass and treble have separated and are much cleaner. I think I will keep these and build around them.

They sound really good and, in my room, have good bass. Personally, I don't find the treble too sharp at all. They look really good and are a good size for bookshelf speakers.

I've been eyeballing these for months. At the full price I kept passing, but, at the sale price of $489, they were just too good to pass up. Coming from Polk Monitor 40 series 2, and these speakers are a noticeable increase in clarity and sound stage. The polk were fine, good even, but, these are great @ $489.

People are saying Klipsch speakers are ear fatigue because of their characteristic, mainly the high frequency. But man,Klipsch 600M ii is a beautiful speaker. it is very clean and the airy LTS tweeter as sweet as sugar. I never even expected sub-bass from a 6.5” bookshelf speaker. You can play it without a subwoofer if you’re not leaning to that subsonic “oomphs”. I not adding my SVS PB 3000 to the soundtrack i am listening because klipsch gives me enough bass for my music. I compared it with an English speaker Q acoustics 3030i (a well reviewed speaker) and I came to know that the klipsch is louder and cleaner than Q acoustics.

Dit zijn geen vergevende speakers maar aangesloten op de juiste apparatuur (inclusief kabels) zijn deze Klipsch speakers warm en sprankelend. Top kwaliteit!

Por desgracia tuve que devolver el producto por unos raspones, sin embargo, pude probarlas y estoy en espera de comprarlas de nuevo, ya que en oferta no había opción a reemplazo. Amazon, con su servicio de primera, cumplió con fechas y asesoría, de verdad un servicio de primer mundo en México. Las conecté a un equipo vintage 75W Gradiente, un equalizador Pionner SG-9800 y otro par de bocinas 10" Gradiente GR-10. Lo primero: necesitas un equalizador, el sonido directo tiene un ataque brutal!, en algunos generos como Jazz tuve que bajar los graves ya que era demasiado, pero una vez equalizado fue un placer escuchar a MONK, los brillos son NOTABLES, realmente definidos, hubo obras con pruebas en disco de vinyl que arrojaron sonidos y detalles que no se notan en otras bocinas, es un sonido espectacular. Recomiendo pensar en el espacio adecuado, las bocinas llevan en su instructivo espacios de aire recomendados para su uso, si llevas la instalación tal cual lo ofrece el fabricante te aseguro que jamás querrás deshacerte de estas hermosas bocinas. Como nota extra, me pareció increíble la sinergía que se logró con el equipo vintage y la reproducción de vinyl, inténtalo, suena en verdad con una excelente calidad. A recalcar el ATAQUE, si no tienes EQ, preferiría el modelo RP-600m, el mII ese tiene que equalizar, no para todos los géneros, pero sin duda lo necesitaras. Música electrónica como propellerheads, Lamb, pOrtishead, Bomb the bass, etc.. suenan como el paraíso.
