I would also pick them over the Q150 or Q350 speakers for hifi music in a living room.
I'd pick the Q150 or similar for nearfield/desktop style usages.
I own the Klipsch RP-160m, RP-600m and RP-600m II & have tested several other Klipsch models.
I own the KEF Q150 and LS50meta & have owned among others the Q350 and R3.
I would pick the Klipsch RP-600m II as my top choice if I had to use one of all of the above speakers in farfield/living room/HT setting in a 2.0. I
would pick the LS50meta for nearfield.
Even with subs involved(and home theater should have at least 1) it would be a toss up between the RP-600m II and the KEF LS50meta as they are both very good but different.
I subjectively found them to equal to the $2000 KEF R3 but they do have slightly different qualities that would be hard to describe quickly here. The point is I enjoyed them equally but they don't sound the same. I would gamble/pure guess that in a blind test of the KEF R3 and the Klipsch RP-600m II, that out of 100 people, 40 would pick the KEF, 30 the Klipsch and 30 have no notable preference.
Out of the box. Objectively/measurement wise this pair of Klipsch speakers measures very well. They are not far behind the KEF R3meta and yet cost a fraction. Beyond out of the box, if you or anyone reading this is nerdy and can figure out how to tweak with a manual DSP/PEQ you can easily make the Klipsch RP-600m II sound like actual ultra high fidelity reference speakers as the type of 'flaws' they have are easily fixed with minor equalization tweaks.
If you don't have manual DSP/PEQ, and find them slightly bright (remember often it is actually the recording that is bright, especially with music which is often poorly mastered and recorded - even in famous studios) but if they are slightly bright in your room just turn the treble tone control down 1 or 2db and that will bring them in line more with objective neutral. (same for the KEF Q150)
These are the best $350 speakers out there at this price, nothing else is close right now. They are easily worth full retail.
One note they need as much amplifier power as any typical competitor. They are not more efficient vs typical similar sized monitors, that 94db spec is completely made up by Klipsch.
Sensitivity is easily measured, these are about 85-86db with 2.83volts just like most speakers in this class. The horn does not help because in a 2-way like this the maximum sensitivity is determined by the woofer, NOT the horn loaded tweeter. That tweeter has to be brought down to match the woofer in the crossover.
There is no 6.5 woofer anywhere on earth ant any cost that is 94db sensitive and can also play down to 50hrz with decent SPL, so knowing that you already know.
I've now moved them to my living room for 2.0 channel TV set up. Replacing an "Atmos" soundbar with surrounds + sub. I completely forget that there is NO subwoofer when I have a movie with explosives playing. I've caught myself turning around to check where I used to have a sub sitting with the old set. These can get aggressive with a bit of EQ.
They are super efficient, easy to drive speakers, most "desktop" size amps will be able to drive these easily. Super happy with my purchase, easy buy imo at this price.

Can you comment on the width of the soundstage on these? That is what made a huge Kef fan out of me. Nothing else seems to rival the UniQ in that respect.
I'd go for these for these models for home theater in most a cases.

Most of the time(90+%) for most people 60watts will be enough to drive an 85db sensitive speakers to satisfying levels in a decent sized or even in larger rooms.
Siting 12 feet away in a typical medium sized room, a pair these with 60watts each you should cleanly hit about 95db in room peaks, 95db is quite loud. Keep in mind that is the clean actual max limit & for peaks. That said you want headroom because after the 60watt limit most amps hit pure distortion very quickly. So if you really want actual 95db peaks you ideally buy an amp that could drive them to say 98-100db peaks so you have room to play before that amp gives up ---->so that would require about a 150watt per channel amp. That is called 'headroom' you need that because the next track might have those 98db peaks.
With these Klipsch speakers or any speakers with 85db sensitivity ratings 60watts is enough in most but not all cases. Sitting 15feet away, specially if also in a large room is a case that is pushing things IF you want super loud playback. Moderate playback is easy as it use very little power, every 3db in SPL requires 2x the previous amount of power.
So at 15 feet 1watt of power per channel will give you 75-80db averages for a pair in room, but the peaks can be 10db louder so those need 10watts per channel vs the 1watt. Still no problem.
Now listening at 85-90db with +10db peaks it is different. The 85-90db averages need 10watts per channel and the +10db/95-100db peaks would use 100-200watts per channel.
So for very high SPL and high SPL peaks in a large space, 60watts is not enough, 150-200 watts would be good.
Keep in mind the speaker can't handle that amount of power in the low bass so if playing bass heavy material use a sub(s) with bass management to remove the low bas at about 80hrz and down from these speakers.
For high SPL in large rooms, sitting 15feet away I usually recommend beefy tower speakers or large bookshelf/monitors with big subs added in and low bass removed from the monitors. A benefit of most large towers is that contrary to what many think they use less power to to hit higher SPL levels and are often much easier to drive to high SPL levels.
Most people never listen much above 80-85db averages with 90-95db peaks but people some do. In fact some folks are referencing 105db peaks especially for movies or music at something that feels near to 'live'.
