    Great option when space is at a premium, chose these little beauties while I was living in a condo. I didn’t have room for my large tube setup. Paired this with a small sub they fill the room wonderfully. I run my turntable and tv through these for everyday use and it’s not missed a beat yet. The Bluetooth on board has good range and clear sound reproduction. A great speaker setup to start your first journey into hifi

    It is unusual for a set of powered monitors to have such diversity of inputs plus a subwoofer output. As Klipsch is generally known for, the highs are very bright. A full range sub is necessary for these as the "woofers" are definitely light on lows. I wanted these largely for TV watching, but for some music. I think they do better for music than for TV. They just weren't that great for vocal ranges. I would highly recommend the Klipsch Sixes instead of these. They sound warmer, have a much more full range, and look much better. I returned these.

    I do not like these speakers much. The sound from them is not loud compared with some other at the same range. To me they are overpriced.

    purchased in April. Used them about 3 months 4-5 days out of the week and the stopped working out of the blue. No damage just simply gave up. Subwoofer did the same thing after like 2 months got that exchanged. Overall disappointed, dont get me wrong the Sound is awesome they are great speakers just wish theyd last a bit longer before giving up on me.

    Not Impressive At All

    Poor frequency response. Pretty hollow sounding. My old Altec Lansing PC speakers from 20 years ago sound better than these. The USB connectivity is fine and, so far, they've been reliable. Will likely trade them in for something better though. Pretty disappointed. I assumed Klipsch would be better. I guess that name doesn't mean what it used to. :(

    NOT very powerful, small drivers. I bought these after hearing a friends' studio monitors (KRK) and thought Klipsch must be more high end, powerful and crisp. I believe these would work very well for someone setting up a home studio, but for what I was looking for, high power from a small enclosure, they didn't fit the bill, I think I'll be returning them.

      If your turntable has a switch to engage a built-in preamp, you will want to set that turntable's switch to 'Phono' and then set the 'Phono/Line' switch on the R-41PM speakers to 'Phono' as well. This setting will utilize the phono preamp that is built into the speakers. If you would rather use the phono preamp built into your turntable, you will want to set the switch, on both the turntable and the speakers, to 'Line' (If your turntable does NOT have a phono preamp built into it, you will need to set the switch on the back of the R-41PM to 'Line').

    After 2 months they no longer will power on! No power surges, just connected to my computer using USB - sitting stationary on a desk the whole time. Will not buy anything Klipsch again.

    These speakers will not get a good rating from me. Was trying them out as nearfield monitors and they did not do the job for me. Painfully shrill highs, exaggerated midrange and absolutely ZERO bass. I really wanted to like them but when your 2 year old is sitting in your lap listening to music with you, and you notice that she's plugging her ears....that speaks for itself. Not the finest product Klipsch has released.

    Not sure if I received a defective model but had to return it because the sound was awful! I played vinyl through a mixer and the speakers had annoying popping sounds and was muddled too.
