Bigger Horn, Better Sound
A new, larger 90 Degree x 90 Degree silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive 1" LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere Series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter Design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
All-New Cerametallic Woofer
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series speakers, the 6.5" Cerametallic woofer has been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.
Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere port allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
Bi-Wiring Bi-Amping Capability
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities separate high and low-frequency current into different speaker cables, reducing distortion for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for further optimization of performance with separate outboard power amplifiers for the high frequency and low-frequency drivers.

Top Comments
1. Tweeter: The RP-600M II features an upgraded 1" titanium LTS (Linear Travel Suspension) tweeter, which is designed to provide improved high-frequency response and lower distortion compared to the aluminum tweeter used in the original RP-600M.
2. Crossover network: Klipsch has updated the crossover network in the RP-600M II, which they claim results in smoother midrange and improved off-axis listening.
3. Cabinet: While the cabinet dimensions remain the same, Klipsch has reinforced the cabinet's back panel for the RP-600M II, which may result in slightly reduced cabinet resonance.
4. Efficiency: The RP-600M II has a slightly higher sensitivity rating of 96dB (1W/1m), compared to 95dB for the original RP-600M.
Overall, the RP-600M II offers some incremental improvements over its predecessor, particularly in terms of high-frequency performance and overall clarity. However, the differences may not be night-and-day, especially for casual listeners. Existing RP-600M owners likely don't need to rush out to upgrade, but for those considering the speakers for a new purchase, the RP-600M II is the better choice if the price difference is minimal.
The speakers listed above are all good speakers, but to characterize them all as a "substantial upgrade in terms of bass extension, clarity, and overall refinement" is a purely personal opinion that I do not agree with (yes, in my opinion, some are better than the Klipsch RP-600Ms and some are worse), but I am not going to argue these points, because there are only a few questions that matter:
1. Do you need/want entry-level audiophile speakers? This is up to you
2. Is $329 a good price for the Klipsch RP-600M II speakers? Yes, it is a great price
3. What other new speaker is better for $329? Nothing that I can think of at this time
4. Is it worth it to spend more? Yes, of course, if you have the money, but you also have to go listen to different speakers and consider what is going to work best with your existing or future planned setup (especially the amplifier and your room acoustics).
