Otherwise you may be better off with their powered offerings. R41PM comes to mind. On Amazon now for I think 199 or the R50PM. Litle more expensive but better sound quality.
Their vertical dispersion in practice is not that good (+-10 degrees) so these need to be at roughly ear level for good results. Horizontal dispersion is great. 80 hz is the bottom of the unit's effective range. You will need a sub for best effect (or if your primary media needs it). Erin's audio corner has a work up on this unit and imo it matches real world results.

I recently grabbed The Sevens from that other deal (now $799), and I absolutely love the sound from them, but mine came with a noticeable idle hiss (and use 20W idle), so they're going back..
These share a very similar woofer + tweeter/horn design, so I'm hoping they'll compare reasonably well to The Sevens. I'll be driving them with an SMSL SA300.
FWIW, I've had my eyes on the Klipsch SPL-100 (10") @ $250 [crutchfield.com] recently as an upgrade to my older Polk PSW10 that always eats up a continuous 11W, even in 'standby'. The SPL-100 (and SPL-120 - which is part of this sale @ $379) boast a 0.5W idle.
Seems like either would pair well with these RP-600M IIs for small/mid-size setups. My use case is desktop speakers in a relatively small ~13 x 11ft office, hence going for a more compact sub.
