Excellent Sound for the size

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These speakers perform extremely well for their size (though they might be a bit large for use on an actual bookshelf). They produce clear, stable, high range sound that comes through nicely even at very high volume. The bass and low ranges are a bit weak, but that is expected for a unit this size - easily remedied by pairing it with a dedicated subwoofer. I saw other reviewers recommend this mostly as a front channel set, and I would absolutely agree with that. Overall, super great looking and sounding speakers. I have no issue displaying these front and center in my living room.
I would recommend this to a friend!

These bad boys blew me away. From tower speakers from another company to these. These are by far way more detailed than my towers I used to have.

I run all Klipsch for my 7.1.4 and the surround speakers simply weren't doing the job in context (the mains are Cornwall IV's for example). So I replaced the Klipsch RP 502 II's with the RP 600 II's and am enjoying a much better surround experience.

The Klipsch speaker I've been dreaming of
on October 15, 2023
Posted by: CraigVMN
I owned the first version of this speaker and used it with both tube and solid state equipment. I simply could not abide by the harsh treble and somewhat missing midrange. I read numerous reviews about the second iteration and how it addressed these issues, so I got a pair while on sale. I’ve been in the audio game since the mid 70’s and have owned more equipment than I can remember, but I have finally found the absolute right speakers to mate with my Rogue Audio Atlas amplifier.
In a medium size room there is no need for a subwoofer. These speakers bring out all the best of all genres of music, from jazz to rock, vocals, instrumentals…everything is rendered just perfectly. I never really bought into the phrase “I’m hearing things I never heard before” but with these Klipsch, it’s so true. Mids are present and so well defined, and the hot treble has finally been tamed. Soundstage, imaging, depth…it’s all there. Careful partnering with solid state equipment is necessary, but for tubes, I have finally found my keeper speakers.

Klipsch E-Klipsch's Other Speakers
on May 2, 2025
Posted by: Lamont
from Brooklyn, New York
As I have read and heard from other notable reviewers such as Erin (Erin's Audio Corner), Andrew Robinson and some others on YouTube, even when they review most other noteworthy bookshelf speakers either highly priced or moderately priced, they can't seem to leave out the Reference Premiere RP-600 M II as a comparison. Whether or not the other speaker slightly edges out the RP-600 M II, it is always somewhere in the picture. Speakers like the ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63, Debut Reference DBR62, the MartinLogan Motion Foundation B2, MartinLogan Motion XT B100 or even the B&W or Wharfedales which some have high-end hefty prices, the Klipsch is usually mentioned in comparison to performance at half the price or less. This speaks volumes when a speaker is so close in sound comparison to other models being reviewed either high-end or moderate priced. Even Crutchfield's new Sound profile explanation shows the Klipsch up there with better choices. You don't have to take my word for it but at least read and check out reviews and see for yourself, that these speakers are more than worth the accolades they've been getting. I doubt very much that those that have heard and tested them would mention them with such high praise if they weren't.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a record player with onboard speakers and the are horrible. I got these and the are phenomenal. Such a clear sound with fantastic base and clear tone. They are easy to hook up and look so beautiful. I would recommend these to anyone including my friends and family.
