Perfect surround addition to the R-600F.

These work good with an existing surround system. Can be used as rear or side channels.
I was bit skeptical whether these new speakers would keep the brand name as known, but
I do admit they sound excellent and price range works, too. I definitely recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered these klipsch R-40M speakers to replace the old ones I have that came with my surround sound system, currently they are attached to the front right and front left and sound amazing, the sound clear and has great bass from such small speakers. I also love the modern look and wood grain housing. I highly recommend klipsch speakers for any home surround system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got these to replace some super old Boston Acoustics that I’ve had in my office for 20 years. I was not let down by the Klipsch quality - these make my records shine with a crisp and clean sound and a good full range.

Lovely modern bookshelf speaker with a horn!

I purchased these as the surround speakers for my 7.2 system in my study. But moved them onto my wife's Fosi BT30D Pro 2.1 system for her to test. She refuses to give them back! Wifee is a piano player of great talent and ability, and she says that piano sounds amazing on her system, with just a very cheap Pioneer passive subwoofer to back them up. These are efficient speakers, and they get a proper thrashing in her study. Their very mid-forward voicing makes them ideal for critical listening, and intently listening alike. If you find them a little bright, DO NOT try to EQ them by reducing the HF bands! The correct way to balance the mid-forward voicing is to add 1 and possibly 2dB to the 150-180Hz band. This creates a more solid foundation for the upper tones, and binds the music together - if you feel the need.
