Warranty is only 1 year 😕
Now you have 2 years, but the 2nd year would likely be a refund only not repair.
Plus they measure much better objectively out of the box. If one has PEQ and good ability to implement a EQ based of the published spinormas then the RP series can typically be made objectively very equal to the Nines. (the Nines can also be made even more 'accurate' with some added external PEQ as well)
All in all a handful of this and handful of that.
If I was doing 2.1 myself I'd do the RP-500m II and a nice sub coupled with an amp that has good PEQ features or an amp+ a separate PEQ. Getting that right will be a bit overly complex for many.
But why would these become paper weights if the amp fails?
It is not rocket science to buy a replacement amp for a couple hundred and swap it in. Sure not ideal but not dead in the water.

$700 can buy you a Wiim mini-amp ($300) which has tons of convenient connectivity options wired, wifi, or bluetooth, a remote control, and best of all, a subwoofer pre-out WITH a fully adjustable high pass filter. $400 can get you any number of excellent passive bookshelf speakers such as the Klipsch RP500M or 600M (if you know you like the Klipsch sound), or for example ELAC B6.2 or DB.53, or JBL 620---options are endless. OR, you could spend less on the mini-amp with $100-200 options from Ayima, Fosi, or SMSL and have more money to spend on the speakers, maybe even add a cheap starter sub like that Jamo on sale for $100 from Adorama which would be fine for nearfield music listening.

I ended up returning them and got RP-600M II s instead,and those are powered by as SMSL SA300 which does everything The Sevens did and more. These The [Fives/SevensNines] are kind of notorious for short lived internal amps, which is ridiculous considering their price.
