RB-61 II Reference Series Bookshelf Loudspeakers, Black (Pair)

This is really good speakers especially considering the price . Overall sound reproduction is fantastic , There is a lot of clarity and openness to the sound and the credit goes to the horn tweeters . Sound stage is very wide and you can hear every single detail of the music you are listening to . Female vocals are superb on these ,it's like the singer is in the room with you .. Male vocals it depends on the tonality of the singer and how the recording was done but overall is good but not best to my ears . Bass is really good ,punchy and goes very deep to the point that you don't necessarily have to use a subwoofer . Also these speakers are very forgivable to poor recordings ,compared for example to other speakers that I had (Elac debut 2.0 b6.2) they liked only good recordings, you could here the quality degradation but not on the Klipsch it makes poor recordings sound good also . The only big issue I found is that these can be very bright depends on the recording of the songs . I encountered songs that I wasn't able to listen to in more than low volume because of this . So my recommendation is using warm amplifier and dac to compensate for the brightness . For movies its a match from heaven.. very very good ! ,its like you are in the movie and not just watching from the outside , I would have given it 10 stars for movies if possible :) Now after using them for 6 months I was getting tired of the brightness and I switched to another speakers The Triangle BRO3 that I found to be just perfect for music with the right balance of treble mid range and bass though less punchy and deep compared to the Klipsch . But still when I watch a movie I immediately switch to the Klipsch ,they are that good for movies ! So bottom line is, if you have the right gear to compensate for the brightness these speakers are superb .

Replaced an older pair of Yamaha tower speakers that had 12 inch woofers, six inch mid-ranges and piezo tweeters with these. The sound is much cleaner, just as loud and flatter base. The magnetically attached grills are awesome if you like to 'watch' your music. A little too much treble as some others have reported but I just adjust the amp accordingly. Also added a pair of Klipsch 12 inch powered subs. My system shakes the walls in my 20x16 barn/workshop. Luckily my neighbors all love my music.

Since 1991, have owned several brands of speakers: Definitive Technology, Infinity, NHT, Monitor Audio, and now Klipsch. It nearly killed me to let the Def Techs go, but these Klipsch RB-61ii Reference Series speakers go a long way in making up for it. As background, am listening to ALAC files ripped from CD, run through an AudioQuest Dragonfly Red DAC, and then into a modest SET/Class A tube amp that is feeding the RBs. The amp is a 2.0 system, so no subwoofer is involved. With the cables included, and taxes excluded, all of these audio elements sum up to $900. Frankly, I love this modest system just as much as my old $8000 system! Am endlessly amazed at how lively, airy, silky smooth, crystal clear, and invigorating the RBs sound. Whether playing jazz, opera, techno, trance, rock, country, R&B, new age, classical, or any other type of music (obviously, I appreciate a diverse range of music) through these speakers, am forever thrilled with how lush and real the musical instruments and voices sound! For better or for worse, this awesome little system also makes it easy to hear the restricted dynamic range of poor recordings while enabling excellent recordings to sound so amazing that it will have you simmering in delight! Midrange and treble are in perfect proportion to one another, with not even a hint of brightness. Am also a bass head, and was originally planning on introducing a sub into this setup, but am so satisfied with the deep and rich (but not boomy) bass that the RB fluidly creates that a sub would add little value. Understood that the way a speaker sounds is dependent on the audio elements feeding it, and your system will differ from mine, but I’m EXTREMELY pleased with the RB-61ii. Without spending thousands more, am not sure how you could own a more satisfying speaker. The RB-61ii is a true winner!

I guess these are good value. They look good and sound fine although they are clearly not a first choice for a large sound system. But they are perfect for surround sound in an ATMOS set up.

These are an older discontinued model but still available nib. Advantage over newer version is they are front ported. Using for mid surround for atmos. These worked better as need to mount very close to wall and back ports didn’t work. Typical klipsch sound - pretty bright and very efficient. If you like that sound you’ll like these.

I started building my home Theatre slowly. Knowing it'd be Klipsch based, I wasn't new to their products as I've always loved the Reference Series detailed, expressive clear authoritative sound. I started with the newer series 5 1/4" Bookshelves as my space is very small. Those were more than enough to Rock my Music and Movies world! After reading reviews and having a quick audition of these, I decided to upgrade the Front Soundfeild with 6.5" bookshelves up there. These don't take up much space but certainly pound out a much more solidly grounded sound.They have a bigger woofer and a better sweater as it's Titanium rather than Aluminum. The aluminum tweeters are super crisp, versatile and rich and full sounding, however the Titanium are worth a bit more $ for sucre. I was so impressed by how much more sound was coming out of these babies that I decided the use a 6.5" model Klipsch for all my speakers. This model is now discontinued and replaced by the new RP 600M which has several improvements and enhancements, but I love these so much. The wonderful thing about investing in a good set of Klipsch speakers is that they are very efficient and put outa lot of quality sound without requiring massive amounts of amplification. Also these rebuilt really well, and will last you many years if loved, respected and taken care of. Don't hide them in a corner and stifle them! Pull them away from the walls and let them breathe out and express All your Music and Movies have to offer. Yes, in summary, I love these for many reasons without anything to complain about them.

We had been running a VSX LX-105 as a 5.2.2 setup with a set of Andrew Jones Atmos speakers. Klipsch came out with updated speakers at an updated price and I found the previous year’s speakers on sale all over Amazon. We added a few at a time and after getting the first ones and being impressed with the quality and sound, we eventually got enough Klipsch Reference series to fit out our new LX-505 7.2.2 setup. We got two R-120SW subwoofers, a pair of RB-61 II fronts, a pair of R-40SA Atmos, a RC-62 II center and RIC-65 ceiling surrounds. All of them are heavy, quality speakers putting out impressive highs, mids and lows. Used the Dirac Live sound setup that came with the LX-505 and the resulting sound stage is perfect. Could not fault this setup in any way. Sooo glad we upgraded to the 505, Dirac and Klipsch.

These sound great. Delighted with them. Quite capable of delivering that deep gutteral bass without skimping on the rim shots or vocals
