Tractrix ports
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere ports in the main channel allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
Bi-wiring and Bi-amping capability
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities separate high and low-frequency current into different speaker cables, reducing distortion for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for customization using outboard crossovers when using separate amplifiers.
Vented tweeter design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.

Specs
Hello! Can you tell me what's the difference between the Klipsch Reference Series R-50-M II and the Klipsch Premiere Dual RP-500M-II bookshelf speakers? Seems quite a difference in price for the same 2 way configuration. I like my music and films loud!
Answered by Klipsch Product ExpertThere will be a few notable differences between these two models. The R-50M II features an Aluminum tweeter and a copper-spun TCP woofer, while the RP-500M II features a Titanium tweeter and a Cerametallic woofer. This difference will mean that the RP-500M II will be able to produce more detail in the audio reproduction of music and movies. Another difference will be that the RP-500M II has a deeper cabinet which will translate to more cabinet resonance and a deeper bass response.
Would like to use these speakers as surrounds with the RP 600M II as my fronts would this be a good combo or should i go with the RP 600M II as fronts and rears? Will be using a Denon 3900 AVR..Thanks..PG..
Answered by Klipsch Product ExpertHello! I can highly recommend the RP-500M II as a perfect surround speaker match to your RP-600M II front speakers. Thank you!
