Klipsch Reference R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 90-Degree x 90-Degree Tractrix Horn - Linear Travel Suspension - Sleek, Modern Appearance

Simply put, these Klipsch speakers hit the spot if you’re looking for a sound that’s accurate, satisfyingly clear and versatile. For reference, I’m a non-professional audiophile. Currently own the latest Sonos Immersive Set (Gen 2 Beam, 2 Eras Speakers for surround, plus the Mini Sub) in addition to the Edifier S3000 MKII’s which are hooked up to a WiiM Ultra (using as a DAC for endless sound customization and to hook them up to a sub easily) and the Klipsch R-100SW Subwoofer - both are phenomenal depending on the sound I’m in the mood for including music, movies, TV, etc. Nonetheless, when I saw these R-40PM’s on sale for literally 50%+ off, I gave in and bought them just to see… after all, they do play perfectly with my Klipsch sub. NO REGRETS. They fill the room wonderfully and give that classic Klipsch airy, wide-stage sound. It’s pure, satisfyingly full and warm. They get loud with ZERO distortion at any level in a 20x12 room hooked up to my Klipsch sub. I would not feel the same without the sub. They need it if you’re looking full-spectrum sound and want to play them loud. If you don’t want the added sub, I’m sure the larger R-50PM’s would deliver what you’re looking for. If you want to get the best sound possible when using with your TV, I strongly recommend getting a WiiM Ultra so you can get Dolby Atmos sound (converted to PCM Atmos). To do this, simply connect a high-speed HDMI cable from your TV to the WiiM Ultra, then use either high-quality RCA cables or an optical cable from the WiiM to the R-40PMs. You can then use the AI sound correction from the WiiM app to customize the sound perfectly to your room. Much much better sound compared to simply connecting the TV to the speakers via an optical cable. Hope this helps!

Firstly, product arrived in short order from the other side of the country in great condition, less costly than was being charged by our local retailers. If this is indicative of the service provided by this business I would definitely patronize this retailer again!Secondly, wanted to upgrade PC audio from Razer Nommo that served me well but was a little overburdened trying to carry lows, mids, and highs in a very compact form factor (non-woofer option). The level up was more than expected; audio is full, warm, and clear all in the same package. Connectivity is varied and provides much utility, whether you want to connect wirelessly or wired, both options worked flawlessly. The option for a line out to a powered subwoofer answers any question you may have about limited low-end frequencies, but I've found that even at low volumes I get all the rich audio I was looking for.This purchase exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend these monitors to anyone looking for an affordable upgrade to their basic PC audio needs.

Great sound, especially coming from smaller speakers.

Big sound, small package.

Personally I feel the worst that's happened to home audio in the last 15 years or so is the advent of the soundbar. TVs only get better but as for the audiophiles out there why are we pushed to buy these cheaply made soundbars with limited options and sound capabilities? I should also say I'm a big Kliptsch fan already. 2 separate 5.1 surround systems in my house and now these little beauties for a small den. The sound is crisp and clear but contrary to other reviews out there- definitely get a sub too. It's not just about the bass it's about creating a fullness to the overall sound and getting the most out of what you're enjoying from a sporting event to music and whatever else. I got the wireless 8" Kliptsch sub to pair with it and this is more than enough to create a classic 2.1 stereo which can blast away at any level and sound like you want it to. I would've gone a full 5 stars if there was an HDMI input as well (if you need this then you'll be spending more than double to get "The Fives" but frankly optical IN sounds damn good to me anyways). What I was looking for was a way to get a killer sound without buying yet another amp and here you have it. Pull the trigger- and then crank 'em to 11.

These speakers sound great. They work especially well when you use them through the Bluetooth connection with your phone. You can also use a wire connection with an Alexa. One thing to know - even though you can connect the speakers to an old-style amp, you do not want to do that. The amp connection makes the sound not work well.I have the speakers in my garage, and I love playing jazz out there with them especially.

Excellent product. I have small room with just a turntable and they sound amazing.

The speakers aren’t bad for their size but I think there are better options out there at this price point. The decision to use MDF to cut costs is unfortunate and it looks cheap. The speaker wire it came with wasn’t high quality and was only ~6 feet long, which is too short. Package was missing the rubber pads and klipsch gave me the runaround and refused to send me a set, saying they needed to “escalate your request to our management team.” If that’s how they approach such a minor thing, I doubt they stand behind their warranty. All in all, my sense is that the company is more interested in cutting corners than making great speakers.
