    • RMS Power: 100 watts (The maximum amount of continuous power the device is able to handle.)
    • Peak Power Handling: 400 watts (The maximum amount of power an electronic device, like a speaker, can handle without damage. This refers to short bursts of power, while root mean square (RMS) power handling indicates the amount of continuous power a device can sustain. Higher levels of distortion can also occur at peak power levels when the device is powered beyond its recommended usage.)
    • Impedance: 8 ohms (Describes the resistance of an electric signal throughout the system. Devices with low impedance require less power to deliver optimal signals but are more at risk for damage from overloading. Higher impedance requires more power but is more protected from overload damage.)
    • Minimum Frequency Response: 45 hertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The minimum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)
    • Maximum Frequency Response: 25 kilohertz (Describes the maximum range of frequencies or musical tones a product can reproduce, from very low tones to very high treble tones. The maximum frequency or musical tone the speaker can reproduce. High treble tones have higher frequencies while low tones and deep bass have lower frequencies.)

Q: I want to get these for my front main speakers in my 7.1 setup. Do you hook up one or both sets of red and black connectors in the back of the speakers? I have never owned speakers with this setup.

A: You only have to hook-up on one set of connectors leave the jumpers in place, the reason for the two connectors are for if you have a high end system, so you can bi-amp. In that case you would remove the jumpers, connect the low frequency Amp to the LF connector and the High frequency Amp to the HF connector.

Q: Are the klipsch RP 600M bookshelf speakers long enough to sit the klipsch RP 500SA dolby atmos speakers on top them?

A: The depth of the RP-600M is 11.85”. The RP-500SA has an 11.16” depth, so it should fit nicely on top of the RP-600M.

Q: I have Klipsch Synergy F-20 floorstanding speakers for my fronts. Due to a new built in cabinet, I need to move to bookshelf speakers. I'm afraid of the loss in sound. The store recommended these. No store has demo speakers. Any thoughts on this, thanks

A: These speakers sound very good. If they are properly paired with a subwoofer they will provide excellent sound. I used them as fronts for years and recently moved them to the rear a d replaced them with Klipsch R-820f towers. You will lose a little punch.... Maybe it depends on your receiver or amp. I was originally disappointed with my towers until I got a new Marantz amp. So they will sound the same if you are using a smaller amp. If you are running a system with at least 130watts per channel you will lose a little punch at the mids and upper ranges of bass. If your running a typical 69watt per channel mid range receiver you may actually gain a little clarity. That was my experience anyway

Q: Would lying sidewise be awkward?

A: I have 6 of my 8 laying down sideways close to the ceiling and on slanded panels point downward about 15 degrees. My towers and my bookshelves. Saved space and allowed me increase my distance between speakers.

Q: Can you use speaker wire with banana plugs?

A: Yes, this speaker is compatible with banana plugs. Thank you!

Q: What are the differences in specifiactions for the RP600M and the RP600MII

A: he main differences between the original and the mk II (newer) models are small improvements to the woofer (longer throw, better response) and a wider horn angle (for better sweet-spot orientation). The newer version of those speaker models have a little better response/presence and upgraded internal cabinet bracing which lowers overall total distortion (which is already extremely low for the Reference and Reference Premiere line of speakers).  Thank you!

Q: Can these be set up as purely stereo speakers? What is by-amp? Do I need two amps or can I just use the 100 amp receiver that I have?

A: The RP-600M can absolutely be used in a stereo (2-channel) speaker configuration. You only need one amplifier to power and send signal to the RP-600M speakers. Your 100W amplifier should be a great match. Bi-amping is an alternative way to use the speakers, but is not the recommended way to connect them. We recommend a standard (single amp) connection.
