Reference Premiere RP-600M II Walnut Bookshelf Speakers

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.

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.

These speakers are great. The value you get for the money is almost on par with speakers much more expensive then these. They are not to large so their size won’t overwhelm a living room and very easy to setup. I use them with a Wiim amp and the connectivity is great if you use the right cables.

Upgraded my Klipsch R-51M bookshelf speakers to the the RP-600M II model and there’s a clear difference. First, they’re considerably larger and heavier. I needed a new stand to hold them. Secondly, my receiver setup had to be tweaked for the new speakers, but once done the difference is very noticeable. The R-51M’s are amazing if you’re on a strict budget, I used them for many years and fully enjoyed them. Excellent starter speakers. If you can stretch your budget, the RP-600M II’s go on sale for $470 often and are worth it. Even the original RP-600M’s are a great deal now, and close to the price of the R-51s. You can’t go wrong with any of them. The quality difference is noticeable though. They’re clearly much more powerful, with a clearer sound and better bass. I may not even need my subwoofer and save space. Factor in a sub to the pricing if you’re getting a starter system. A sub is essential with the R-51’s to get amazing sound. Or you could just get the 600m II’s with no subwoofer. Everything just sounds better on these speakers. Vinyl sounds louder, clearer, but with no noticeable pops or noise. Streaming from Apple Music through my Roku sounds better too. Movies and TV sound better. Everything, basically. Definitely worth the upgrade.

I have a pair of these wall mounted as my rear surrounds. My couch is up against the back wall and have them mounted about 6 feet away from the main listening position on each side. They sound great at lower levels with regular TV, but really come alive when turned up with the appropriate listening mod watching movies. These are paired with two Def Tech towers and center channel as my front stage. I know you're supposed to match all speakers, but these go together perfectly. They also sound phenomenal with music.

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.

Nice speakers that somehow survived Amazon's rough handling. Speakers are well packaged by Klipsch - almost well enough to survive Amazon's handling and shipping without damage. Another disappointing Amazon experience.

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.

Parfait correspond à mes attentes

Ho avuto diverse Klipsch, comprese le Klipschorn, nell'impianto principale adesso ci sono le Cornwall, questo per capire che il suono del marchio lo conosco, ho preso queste per il salotto, e sono rimasto allibito, non mi aspettavo un suono così potente pimpante musicale lineare e preciso... da una coppia di monitor a questo prezzo, piu che un consiglio è un dovere, compratele pure ad orecchie chiuse, vi divertirete e non vi pentirete.
