Klipsch RP-160M Reference Premiere Monitor Speakers with 6.5" Cerametallic Cone Woofer - Pair (Cherry).

I bought these last week for $240 which was a great deal for a pair of high quality bookshelf speakers. $195 is a steal. Newegg did credit me the difference.

I don't recommend Newegg due to their anti consumer policies, but I own these speakers and they are top tier price to performance ratio. You would need to pay significantly more for a marginal improvement in sound quality. These are great for home theater and music alike in my experience.

I paid $240 for mine and they're worth every penny at that price. under $200 is a steal.


My personal Newegg story - I pre ordered Witcher 3 10+ years ago with store credit from returned merchandise. They did not process the transaction at the time of the purchase, and my store credit expired by the time they shipped the game. They changed the full $60 to my credit card and my store credit simply disappeared.

My recommendation - always use a credit card with good consumer protections when buying from Newegg or other questionable retailers. In my experience, Chase has been not great lately, USAA has been awful, and American Express has generally been the best.
Wonder how many more does new egg have, these have been on sale forever
Bought these a couple months ago for the same price, no regrets and a great value. Use them in a 2.1 system for a TV + turntable and they sound great. Low end is sufficient for music without a sub, and great Klipsch detail as expected. I have a 30w marantz amp that could drive these to painful levels, you don't need a lot of power for high sensitivity klipsch speakers.

These are pretty big for a bookshelf speaker, as an FYI; I'd take a look at the dimensions before buying.

As others noted; these are passive speakers. The only connections they have are for speaker wire from whatever amp or receiver you are using. If you want HDMI connectivity, you are looking at something like a 5.1 receiver. If you just want them for some music, any cheap two channel amp/receiver (from amazon or get a used one locally) will work. Some even have bluetooth, optical or subwoofer connections.

Can anyone recommend an amp/receiver for these? I need inputs from a turntable (preamped not not) and a PC.

These are passive speakers. You will need either an amplifier or AV receiver to use them

Got it. Also do they have Bluetooth connectivity? Or will the amplifier?

The speakers themselves do not have Bluetooth. Usually the amplifier and receivers have that capability.

I would recommend an AV receiver if you plan on expanding in the future or if you want to connect more than one device such as gaming consoles

I use mine with a Dayton Audio HTA100BT for the retro look. Has Phono, spare RCA Aux, Coax and Optical input along with Bluetooth.

My wife uses it most and loves it. We use an early 80s Rega P3 turntable and a 2003 Denon DVD-2900 CD/SACD/DVDA player. All have a matching brushed black aluminum look. Still on the lookout for the matching Klipsch R-112SW sub in cherry finish.

Just wondering why people mostly use them with Marantz?
