Questions & Answers

Is it possible to use these as the rear speakers with the "Courus 2" in the front, or will they be overwhelmed by the front speakers? With the Denon AVR x 4100w, I am able to record audio. What does 125w of power look like?

Depending on your receiver, you might not be able to. Both your front and rear speakers can be used to calibrate your receiver.

Which way are these speakers facing? Are they facing forward or backward?

The firing line is in front of us. The rear ports of these speakers are not present. The units in my case are placed in corners, and the design of their front firing does not produce sound issues (that I can hear).

Do the RB 61S have powerful enough bass to be used for a 2 channel stereo set up without a subwoofer?

Consequently, I utilize these speakers for stereo two channels, and as such, they have been a pleasure to us. There is, however, a 45 Hz cutoff at the bottom.

On the 6, there is a rubber or foam surround. ?

I have read every specification and description regarding the speaker and it states that the surround is indeed made of This first explanation almost discouraged me from buying them, but it isn't true. They are rubber as defined in the literature.

Selected User Reviews For Klipsch RB-61 II Reference Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers, Black (Pair)

The RP600M is 90 percent as good for about half the price
5/5

Here is a review on YouTube about them courtesy of Cheap Audio Man. As a precursor of the RP600m, this was the RP160m. Despite the very balanced sound, the midrange and top end are extremely clear and exciting. have the RP600M and it is half the cost of the 600M. It gets 90%, if not more, of what the 600M does. There is no right or wrong. It can fill a room without breaking a sweat and plays loudly. You'll have something quite special if you pair them up with a sub.

In response to the It's a 61ii that wins every time! My speaker experience dates back to 1991, when I owned several brands It is no longer just Definitive Technology, Infinity, NHT, Monitor Audio, but now Klipsch as well
5/5

Although letting the Def Techs go was close to killing me, these Klipsch RB-90s are just so wonderful! There is no getting around the fact that the 61ii Reference Series speakers far exceed expectations. In the background, I am listening to ALAC files ripped from CD, from which I have passed through a Dragonfly Red DAC and a modest SET/Class A tube amp which is driving There are two amps in the amp. It would not be possible to use a subwoofer with a 0 system. Include the cables and taxes are included, and all of these digital audio elements come to $900 total. As much as I love my old $8000 system, I actually love this modest system even more! As I listen to the RBs, I am the most amazed at how airy, silky, clear, and invigorating they are. No matter what genre you play - jazz, opera, techno, trance, rock, country, or R&B If I listen to R&B, new age, classical, or any other type of music (I certainly enjoy a broad range of music) through these speakers, I am always amazed at how lush and real the To some extent, this amazing little system also enables you to hear the limited dynamic range of poor recordings, while on the other hand it enables excellent recordings to sound so amazing that you will be ready to give up a fight! There is no hint of brightness in the midrange or treble, with perfect balance between the two. The RB fluidly creates a deep and rich (but not boomy) bass, so I originally planned to introduce a sub into this setup, but I'm so satisfied with the quality of bass the RB produces that I don't see why it would be needed. I understand that the quality of the sound of a speaker is determined by what it's fed, and your system probably isn't the same as mine. However, I'm EXTREMELY satisfied In 61. ii. Unless you spend thousands more, it's hard to own a speaker that will surpass the one you have. In response to the It's a 61ii that wins every time!.

WOW, wow, wow! It has taken me a long time to build my home theater
5/5

it would be Klipsch, I wasn't new to their products as I've always enjoyed their Reference Series sonics. They are detailed, expressive and authoritative.

Because of the small space in my apartment, I purchased the 5 1/4" Bookshelves of the newer series. There were plenty of songs and movies to rock my world of music and movies. I recently saw some reviews for these, and after testing them out I decided to upgrade the Front Soundfeild to You can see the 5" bookshelves in the above picture. There may not be much space taken up by these, but they certainly produce a much more Since it's made from Titanium instead of aluminum, it has a larger woofer and is built much better. There are no doubt that the aluminum tweeters sound crisp, versatile, and full, but the titanium ones are worth a bit more if you prefer a bit richer stereo sound. My interest was so piqued by the amount of sound these babies would produce that I decided to use a 6" instead. A Klipsch 5" model is the speaker I use for all of I have been using this model for over 4 years, and I love it so much. Now the new RP 600M has several enhancements and improvements, but these are still my favorite. One of the best things about buying a good set of Klipsch speakers is that they are very efficient and produce a lot of quality sound without needing heavy These are also really well rebuilt, and they will last you a long time if they are loved, respected, and maintained. Do not stifle their voices by hiding them in a corner! Take them away from the walls and let them let out their breath and express themselves as the music and the movies I love them for many reasons without anything to complain about. Yes, in sum, I am a huge fan for many reasons.

This model is no longer available, but the sound is excellent
5/5

It has a Klipsch RB-80 surround sound system This model of bookshelf speaker has been discontinued by the manufacturer after it has been replaced by the RP-61ii There are two variants of the 160M A 600M chip. I found that the tweeters were the key difference between the two. The RB-EA is also different in that it is a modified The older models of 61 speakers have front firing ports, while the newer models have rear firing ports. I planned on installing the speakers in a bookcase on either side of a 65" TV, so the front firing ports will be There is a timbre match between the speakers and This speaker has 62 ii center channel speakers. A Klipsch subwoofer is also part of my audio setup. With the Yamaha receiver that I have, I'm able to level out the frequency response using DSP. My great room has a ceiling height of 18 feet, so I am using the speakers for a home theater setup. It was easy to fill the room with lavish sound from the speakers. In comparison to the older Bose speakers my previous rental was, these speakers are an enormous improvement. In place of the old Bose 501 V speakers on the sides, Bose has now installed surround speakers. There's a chance the Premier series would've been an even better upgrade, but the cost would have been much more because the discontinued models were on sale.

This is incredible! This is the best sound I've ever heard! It's a problem, holy They sound amazing! I am blown away by their sound
5/5

There is a rich and warm tone to the sound. Additionally, they get great bass. I was surprised at how reasonable the price was for such good quality. Now Klipsch has a customer for life. Looking forward to hanging out with that 10 inch subwoofer already! Those of you considering Klipsch speakers should seriously consider them. Their quality is above and beyond my expectations and I will probably never buy another brand. Don't hesitate to buy them, you won't regret it. My intention was to buy them for my turntable, but they have exceeded.
