Features

  • ALL NEW 90 x 90 TRACTRIX HORN: Experience the cleanest, most natural sound possible. The increased outer horn dimensions allow for directivity control over a larger bandwidth of frequencies, resulting in improved high frequency directivity and a more accurate sound stage.
  • LINEAR TRAVEL SUSPENSION (LTS) ALUMINUM TWEETER WITH KAPTON SUSPENSION: The 1 LTS tweeter minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Aluminum is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter assembly to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
  • SPUN-COPPER THERMOFORMED CRYSTALLINE POLYMER WOOFERS: Utilizing trickle-down technology from Klipschs highly acclaimed Reference Premiere series speakers, the 4 TCP woofers have steeper angling of the cones for a smoother response and improved accuracy and transparency.
  • SLEEK, MODERN APPEARANCE: Hidden fasteners, edge-to-edge horn, and low-profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.
  • MDF CABINET WITH SCRATCH-RESISTANT, TEXTURED WOOD GRAIN VINYL: Stylish aesthetic with best-in-class durability that results in seamless integration into any decor.
  • HIGH QUALITY CABINET DESIGN: Reinforced 34 MDF construction with an all-new bracing design reduces cabinet vibration for improved sonic accuracy.
  • Dimensions = 11.7 (H) X 5.8 (W) X 8.5 (D)
  • Includes: (2) R-40M bookshelf speakers

  • Perfect for my office
Great to look at and listen to. Lacking just a bit in bass response but otherwise sterling sound reproduction for this price range.

  • Great speakers
I have never owned Klipsch, but always wanted a pair. I wanted a smaller set of bookshelf speakers to pair with a smaller amp. These Klipsch got mostly positive reviews, I chose them to pair with a Rockville WD smaller tube type amp/preamp Very nice !! The sound is balanced , not muddy, and honestly fill a much larger space than I expected. Highly recommended very happy with my first ever pair of Klipsch ... show more

  • Nice Clean Sound
* I added these as height speakers to my 3.1 home theater setup. Upgrading to a 3.1.2 configuration unlocked a bunch of new audio modes on my AV receiver. * I really like the clean and detailed sound. These speakers add an extra layer of ambiance to my movies and give my music a fuller sound. * They look really nice and well-made. With the front grill on, they even resemble an Xbox Series X. * Overall, I'm happy with these speakers and glad I added them to my setup. ... show more

  • FOR WHAT THEY ARE.......THEY SOUND VERY GOOD
I'm using these in my home office powered by a small Marantz Receiver and a Marantz CD player and have absolutely no problems with the sound. In fact, they actually sound very good with the treble and very decent on the mids, and understandably thin on the bass....ok? So, if that proves to be a problem, ya just get a small subwoofer. Remember, these are pretty small speakers, that said, would I buy them again? Absolutely !! For my office, these are great! On a budget, for a small living room or listening area, with a small, added subwoofer, I think they would sound absolutely fine. Added note: They are good looking speakers. ... show more

  • Exceeds expectations
Quality of these speakers is unsurpassed. Amazingly deep rich sound. They will not disappoint you.

  • Cheap, cheap, cheap
Tried these in a very small room because they were a good size and looked nice. They sounded so muddy and muffled. I drove them with a really good setup, Emotiva amp and used Tidal which is HD streaming and they sounded horrible. Flat, dull and cheap. I immediately looked to upgrade and gave them away. They may be fine for the rear speakers in a 5.1 TV setup up but they are not quality audio speakers. Very disappointed in this complete waste of money product. Not serious audio at all. ... show more
