Featured Comments

The Klipsch RP-600M II speakers, released in 2021, are an upgraded version of the original RP-600M. While the changes aren't dramatic, there are a few notable improvements:

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Speaker preferences are subjective. I happen to disagree with a number of the statements above. I'm saying this so that people who are new to this hobby will go out and listen to different speakers and not spend their money based on just one person's opinion. There is no "BEST" there is only "What you like BEST."

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).

Great price but debating whether to upgrade or not my Synergy F3 towers to these. Decisions decisions. Hate that I like my current setup but always wondering what am I missing.

You're always going to be missing something, but will you be completely satisfied with what you currently have

You don't need it. I keep telling myself this. I have been keeping myself from buying the piano black v1 even though I have the walnut 150m. A perfect match here.

Are these mainly used for office music or home theater?

Klipsch rp series is excel in home theater settings. However, there mark 2 versions are equally good for music.

Having owned rp160m and now 600m, I can tell you the 600m is definitely an improvement and these are mark 2 which improves upon it even further. I would highly recommend getting the black gloss 600m that are currently on sale for that high end finish and great build quality.

They will work wonders in both setups. These are not small. They are big and heavy.

I have a pair of JBL ES80s, would these be worth buying to replace the JBLs?

Gloss one is not mark 2 though...
Also, you need ample space behind this from the wall.
