Highly Efficient and Reasonably priced. 2-4 watts

I had very specific perimeters for the speakers I needed. Foremost was they were going to be driven by my SET amp putting out only 2-4 watts. They also needed to be compact enough to fit next to a bedroom dresser on 32” stands. They also had to be reasonably priced, though I looked at speakers up to twice as much, particularly as this is for a second system and I needed to keep the overall cost down.
I settled on the 600M IIs over everything else including the previous model 600Ms. I decided on a Schitt Saga II as a
preamp with a WiiM Pro Plus as the source. The Saga is interesting because it offers 3 gain levels, Passive, Level 1 and Level 2. I began listening after setup on the Passive mode and have tried the other levels but I’m able to listen at sufficient volume in Passive Mode.
The sound may be a bit bright in the higher frequencies but it’s more dependent on the source as at equal levels other songs sound just fine. The WiiM has an EQ which is helpful.

Given my requirements this is the ideal speaker for me. To be able to listen essentially direct from the WiiM through a 2-4 watt tube amp to the speakers is a very satisfying and frankly incredible experience.

High fidelity at all volume levels. Very satisfying to have a nearly infinite volume sweet spot. Running with Schiit Ragnarock II with Denifrips Ares II DSP.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow and wow. I have been using these shelve speakers for a week and everything sounds amazing. The treble and bass is just perfect for an apartment. Easy to connect and the fact that it is Bluetooth capable is a plus and a must nowadays. The brass and black combo is just so clean as well. It really is not a flashy product but when the sound comes on it makes a statement. I highly recommend these bookshelf speakers, very compact and easy to install anywhere in your home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Klipsch RP 600M II speakers are hands down the best speakers I have ever listened to in my entire life. The sound levels are all true and crisp. The bass captures all of the low end in ways I could never have imagined. Love the stylish look of these. The construction & materials used to make these are definitely top quality and what you expect from a brand like Klipsch. The range of sound that these provide covers the entire spectrum and simply put, Can't be beat! I would highly recommend these to everyone!

The highs are clear but too bright and over powers the bass as most Klipsch speakers do. I purchased an upgrade kit and currently in the process of rebuilding the crossovers.

Great upgrade. With or without a sub mids are smooth and highs noticeable crips

These babies are a hi-fi bargain. They are a little on the bright side, but pair them with some warm electronics and sit back and enjoy the live in the studio experience. They are not 94.5 dB as advertised, probably closer to 91db. Not sure why Klipsch overrates their speaker sensitivity, but not that big a deal. These speakers sound great, at least as good as speakers costing 4 times as much.
