Product Manuals

Q: Since the amplifier is in only one of the speakers, I assume that they have to be manually connected (wired) to each other, correct? I would prefer if each had its own power cable and could be plugged in individually, but I am assuming they cannot.

A: You are correct, the passive speaker must be manually connected to the powered speaker.

Q: Not savoy about speakers. Have 6 speakers already, front, rear, center sub. Wanting to round out 7.2 channel system with a Onkyo Tx-NR686 receiver. Are these the appropriate type? Read once the last set of speakers sit behind you & point toward ceiling.

A: It sounds like right now you are running a 5.1 speaker set up - front left, center, front right, surround left, surround right, and a subwoofer. (The subwoofer is the .1 in the 5.1 setup). Your Onkyo receiver can power 7 speakers and run 2 subwoofers, so it is described as a 7.2 receiver. These Klipsch speakers are powered, so they are not what you need to take your system from 5.1 to 7.1. Your receiver can already power 7 speakers. Passive speakers (not powered) are more appropriate for your arrangement. The manual for your receiver gives examples of how to hook up the speakers and where to place them. Hope this helps.

Q: Will these speakers electronically pair singly? If I put one in one room of my condo, for sound masking, can I set another one up elsewhere and pair them to Bluetooth individually? I usually buy these singly, so just wondering. Thanks folks!

A: No. They’re hardwired together. The right speaker has the amplifier and receiver built in to it. The left is just a regular speaker.

Q: Can I connect these to my iPhone? If so, how would I do that?

A: Yes, Bluetooth mode indicated by a led lit blue on speaker face, search Bluetooth devices on iPhone and connect.

Q: All the specs say for the amplifier power on these speakers is 35 watts. Does that mean 35 watts per channel to each speaker or total of 35 Watts split meaning 17.5 watts per channel to each speaker?

A: 35 watts per channel

Q: I am not knowledgable about this at all- but I have a Yamaha CD-C600 5 Disc CD Changer. Can I use these speakers with that? Do I need anything else in addition? Does it matter that these are Bluetooth?

A: Yes you can connect your CD player directly to these speakers with either an optical cable (recommended) or RCA (red and white) plugs. Because the speakers are powered, you do not need anything else (other than plugging them into the wall for power). It does not matter that the powered speakers are Bluetooth capable - it is just one input choice that you can use or not use as you like. The Klipsch speakers let you choose which input you want to use to output sound through the speakers, so you can hook up several devices if you want to and choose which one you want to use at any time. Bluetooth is just one of those inputs. Hope this helps.

Q: Can I hook a turn-table directly to these speakers?

A: Yes, the speakers have an internal amp.

Q: Which connection method would be the best audio quality for playing music from my computer: Usb, Bluetooth, or 3.5 Aux?

A: I would use usb , I've used all three and they all sound good but usb has higher bandwidth than the others and will have the lowest latency.

Klipsch r41-pm powered speakers
I think the speakers are great . I bought to use mainly with my At-lp 1240 my record player. I have two other AT lower model record players that I purchased for my daughters . Atlp60x and Atlp60 usb . The atlp60 has a built in rca jack and and for some reason the speakers work perfectly with that model record player. With the at lp60x and my overpriced atlp 1240 the powered speaker with built in amp has given me nothing but problems when trying to use phone settings . All other setting worked Bluetooth , etc and the speakers sound great when using my phone but I purchased these specifically to use with my record player and was a bonus that I can use with anything else Bluetooth, usb, aux, optical and last phono(main reason I bought speakers and sound horrible with back ground humming so loud that shakes and vibrates the speakers off there respected areas falling onto the floor and breaking while trying to figure out why this is happening . Plugged into one source . Used different rca jacks . Can’t figure out and I’m well past the 15 day mark so nothings Best Buy can do. They made there money . I also purchased a matching sub on Amazon for half the price of best buy that also came with three month return . Next time I will buy from someone with a better return policy or customer service that doesn’t charge to help you with the product you just purchased from. I’d buy Klipsch again I just would buy from Best Buy unless they were on sale for 50-70 percent off. At that price I can’t afford to make the losses come with purchasing these type of products . Never impulse buy always look for who has it the cheapest and make sure it a credible outlet as there are tons of untrustworthy people out there but no better than some of the sale associates at Best Buy . I’m sure there are great ones but when I went in excited about buying these speakers I was eager to talk to someone about them but the guy around my age who was present didn’t acknowledge me or anything . I asked about speakers and he’s responded with yea there here you want them ? I refrained myself and just went ahead with my purchase as it was something I really wanted but got no additional info that i didn’t already look up myself . Over all the speakers work well with my 5.1 receiver but also takes up space and have to hide wires which is why I went with this 2.1 set up for my room smaller and cleaner with less wires to hide. And no amp required. There are Cheaper Bluetooth speaker and sub options available. I’d go with those or something that will give you real time to try the product and see if it adequate for you needs . 15 days is nowhere enough time especially for the price point of most products sold by Best Buy is definitely not the busy buy always so do your research cause sometimes the people working there Dont even know what there talking about . Buy the product and make sure you return before the 15 day mark buy another one and repeat process till your sure your satisfied with product.

Great for desktop listening
I bought these to use as a primary desktop system with a turntable and MacBook Pro. I plan on using a small subwoofer for low end. I was surprised after hooping them up how full and clean they sound. I opted for the smaller 4” wooded version because of limited desktop space, I am not disappointed with that decision, they sound very clear, full, plenty of volume even with out a subwoofer hooked up. I’d say most will opt for the use of a subwoofer due to their lack of powerful low end, but that’s okay. On sale for $160 off makes them a very good deal for the price point, considering anything comparable is at least this price point or more. My only complaint is you have to deactivate the “Dynamic Bass EQ” every time you turn them on, not a huge deal but I do wish they demanded my listening preference.

Versatile!
I've had these Klipsch speakers now for a month, and they were well worth the price. My situation: trying to downsize from a huge entertainment center that housed huge 70s Yamaha speakers, receiver, turntable, CD player, etc. Bingo!!!! With these nicely sized Klipsch speakers I was able to get rid of the speakers AND the receiver. Yes! I can hook up both CD player and turntable and no more receiver necessary! They have so many connection options, Bluetooth being a huge plus. Audio may not be as SUPER as were the old Yamaha speakers, but I was able to play the old Christmas records and very happy. Oh I'm 61-year-old woman, and I found them easy to connect and use. Yep, I recommend.
