Enjoy an immersive audio experience with these Klipsch Reference powered speakers. The built-in amplifier eliminates the need for external A/V receiver, while Bluetooth functionality connects seamlessly to wireless devices. These Klipsch Reference powered speakers have 5.25-inch low-frequency drivers for stunning bass performance, and the plug- and-play operation ensures simple use.
- Handles up to 120W peak power (60W continuous): For robust and controlled audio that is crisp and clear.
- 1" Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) aluminum tweeter: Minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Using Kapton®, an extremely light and rigid material, in the tweeter suspension provides high efficiency and improve resolution and detail.
- 5-1/4" spun copper injection molded graphite (IMG) woofer: IMG woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid - providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion.
- WISA technology: Allows multi-channel home theaters to be built without having to run speaker wires. The sound is optimized with custom digital signal processing and dedicated amplifiers per speaker. Built-in amplification eliminates the need for a complicated A/V receiver.
- 90x90 Tractrix® horn technology: Ensures the high frequency energy is aimed at the listener and reduces artificial reverb or filtering caused by indirect sound bouncing off of walls. It gives you the best clarity, dynamics, and detail from your movies and music.
- True stereo sound: Separation between left and right creates a more enveloping sound than closely set drivers like in today's sound bars. By having the speakers apart and playing in true stereo, it opens the spatial reproduction of the tracks.
- 2-way speaker system: Sounds like 1 source rather than several separate sources.
- Easy instalation: Seamlessly connect these speakers to your WiSA Ready devices using a certified WiSA transmitter. WiSA transmitters provide a lossless digital signal.
- Expandeble feature: Begin your system with the best powered two-channel experience and grow it over time, up to a 7.1 surround sound home theater. Your system will automatically recognize and connect new wireless speakers as they are added.
- Textured vinyl finish: Offers a stylish look to complement your existing décor.
- Removable grille: Remains acoustically transparent while protecting the speaker's components.
- Bass reflex enclosure: With a rear-firing port promotes optimal performance.
- 62Hz - 21kHz frequency response: Ensures a wide range of accurately reproduced sound.
- Wide compatibility: Compatible with 2019 (or newer) LG OLED or NanoCell + Axiim WiSA-ready transmitter + Klipsch Reference wireless WiSA-ready home theater system.
Whats Included
- Klipsch Reference Wireless WiSA-Ready Home Theater System RW-51M 5-1/4" 120W 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
A: Yes, but you will need to purchase a $229 AXIIM LINK HD WIRELESS TRANSMITTER (sold separately) in order to get these up and running. As mentioned before, this transmitter needs to be connected to the following WiSA ready or enabled products: LG TV OLED or NanoCell 2019 or newer, Xbox One, Windows 10, or Mac OSX. Unless you plan on eventually upgrading these speakers to 3.1 or 5.1, then you don't need to pay for the (expensive) WISA technology you aren't really going to use. Save that money and, instead, buy you a pair of powered or wireless speakers. Klipsch has R-41PM and R-51PM powered speakers, but there are other reputable brands as well (Vanatoo, Kanto, AudioEngine, Edifier, etc.).
A: They connect using a technology called WiSa. Much more reliable then Bluetooth and internet. You will need to purchase a transmitter. Given that you have a Samsung TV I believe the klipsch transmitter only works with LG TVs. I recommend purchasing the soundsend transmitter instead which allows you to connect to all products and it has some great features with the app on your phone, just as long as you have a arc/earc hdmi connection on your television
A: Yes, you need WISA to play them. And that's the rub. Make sure you read reviews for both the Axiim link itself and the link app. Most reviewers have either not been able to get the device to connect to their speakers, or experienced terrible sound when they did. Why Klipsch would allow a terrible third party like Axiim to interfere with their sound is beyond me, but steer clear of WISA speakers for now.
A: No, the technology right now I believe is geared for you to go all in with all wireless speakers and a transmitter without the use of a receiver. Mixing your wired speakers and receiver with these speakers will not work
Q: Do they have subwoofer jack(s)?
A: My Klipsch subwoofer is also wireless so you only need a 120 volt power source to power the speaker and the Axiim link to pair it to the TV. No jack needed.
Q: Can these be used to play music on my iphone? If so, how?
A: I can play music from my iPhone through the speakers using a menu provided by the OLED TV. The pairing from the phone to the TV is via Bluetooth and the TV then connects to the speakers using the Axiim link and the separate wireless technology. Not sure if the speakers can be paired directly to the iPhone without the TV. But I’m sure the Axiim rep can answer that question.
