Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II

These really have nice crisp sound. I have a very sound absorbing room that I chose these for, I had tried Polk but they just sounded too dull. Not the speakers fault, just the room. These Klipsch speakers produce crisp vocals and have really nice bass for bookshelves. A big thanks to Conrad for help on choosing these. Very happy with purchase and service.

Klipsch Moves & Grooves

I know that I gave a review on these speakers just a while ago, but I come to and gathered more knowledge on them than what I previously submitted. As I have read and heard from other notable reviewers such as Erin (Erin's Audio Corner), Andrew Robinson and some others on YouTube, even when they review most other noteworthy bookshelf speakers either highly priced or moderately priced, they can't seem to leave out the Reference Premiere RP-600 M II as a comparison. Whether or not the other speaker slightly edges out the RP-600 M II, it is always somewhere in the picture. Speakers like the ELAC Debut 3.0 DB63, Debut Reference DBR62, the MartinLogan Motion Foundation B2, MartinLogan Motion XT B100 or even the B&W or Wharfedales which some have high-end hefty prices, the Klipsch is usually mentioned in comparison to performance at half the price or less. This speaks volumes when a speaker is so close in sound comparison to other models being reviewed either high-end or moderate priced. Even Crutchfield's new Sound profile explanation shows the Klipsch up there with better choices. You don't have to take my word for it but at least read and check out reviews and see for yourself, that these speakers are more than worth the accolades they've been getting. I doubt very much that those that have heard and tested them would mention them with such high praise if they weren't.

Everything I expected

Replaced older Bose speakers. Should have done it sooner. Low volume is great sounding. Shoving 100 with a Carver amp and it rocks big from smaller speakers. Thrilled.

Klipsch Wins the Battle

To all those out there who know of the Klipsch speakers war vs. Polk,especially the Polk Reserve R200, there is a winner. I have both speakers and have recently tried , tested and auditioned them both with the music genres that I like including R&B/Soul, Rock, Alternative and even jazz, the Klipsch Reference Premier RP-600 M II 's have made a believer out of me. I know how some people or reviewers call them bright or causing listening fatigue, it's simply a matter of opinion. When comparing the Polk's to these, the Polk's are good but they tend to have a lackluster sound that doesn't get you into the music. They are a neutral speaker which can become fatigued as well. The Reference Premier RP-600 M II 's come out smoking from the start. Not to mention, the Polk's are power hungry and you seem to only get whatever their best is at a higher volume. The ring pinnacle tweeter to me, doesn't nearly come close to hearing all that a recording has like the Klipsch. Sometimes warm is just not enough depending on what you like to listen to. But if you are interested in the music genres that I'm into, you will definitely like these Klipsch Reference Premier RP-600 M II speakers. Don't worry about the reviewers and people that say they're harsh. Worry about how much more time you'll enjoy your music sounding like it's meant to sound. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Thanks for letting me share MY thoughts and now letting people know the real deal on these two speakers.

Sounds great

They sound amazing. I also have a pair of the RP-160M. Even though I can't hear quite as well as I used to(I'm 71), I can tell these are a little clearer sounding, ever so slightly. I don't know why people pay thousands of dollars for speakers when they could have these for a lot less. I have them connected to a Harmon Kardon HK 3770. However, the grills seem to be a little less sturdy then the ones on the 160's. I didn't want to say cheaper, but...

The speaker looks great and made very well ! The cork pad at the bottom is amazing! The sound : it has very substantial clean balanced bass , and I do have subwoofer, but speakers itself does very well for this size . The vocal sounds quality, bright , almost like separate driver . The treble sounds balanced, not too much or too little, depending what music is playing. I'm don't listen laud , rather normal . But they can kick pretty loud ! So far I'm satisfied with this speakers , including quality, performance , look and price! I would recommend this speaker .

Realistic Experience

I recently purchased a pair from Crutchfield. I brought them to my house in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. My listening area is quite bright with a 20 foot high Bovida (domed brick) ceiling. I played a Bach pipe organ selection and was astounded. Closing my eyes the impression was being in one of the 300 year old churches where I listen to pipe organ concerts!

Phenomenal speakers (I'm just a regular guy)

I'm a 50 year old guy that grew up listening to my dad's B&O setup. My previous pair of speakers has been a pair of Boston Acoustics A40s' that I've had for too long to admit (90's). I also just bought a pair of vintage Klipschorns that I had to sell to my brother for lack of space, so I was a little jaded going into this purchase as I felt like anything would be a downgrade. Said brother recommended these, so I picked up a pair. Holy smokes. I am a musician (but not an audiophile by any means) so I like to think I have a decent ear. These speakers are phenomenal! I don't miss the Klipschorns at all (less the cool factor of those huge walnut cabinets.) The RP-600M's have such a clean warm sound, I can crank them up without distortion or any harshness at all. The bass is just incredible for the size of speaker. I won't be adding a sub anytime soon. They also look awesome. I paired them with KS-24 stands which are excellent with them. One little quibble. I was hoping to find mounting holes on the speakers instead of the cork. I feel like these couple topple off the stands (which have mounting holes) if bumped firmly. I am VERY VERY happy with this purchase.

Clear, Crisp and LOUD

First, I'm a moviephile, not an audiophile (but I'm learning). I'm currently upgrading from a 2012, 5.1 to a 7.2.2 (Stereo Subs from bluetooth output on new AVR). The 600M IIs are replacing my old 1990s vintage, Accoustic Research 308HO "bookshelves" as rear surrounds (the 308s are still good speakers and are being promoted to small Front L/Rs in my Desktop PC surround system). The 600M IIs are very different from the 308HOs, much better high frequency response and clarity, and I found if I EQed the bass higher and the treble lower they became a closer match to what I was used to with the 308s (in addition to a driven woofer and tweeter the 308s have an 8" passive woofer - so they're more bass biased). The 600MIIs; however, are more versatile, use them for Rears, Surrounds, Height, or even use a pair as Center Speakers, (there was little difference in a side-by-side comparison with my 504C II center speaker - using my old Yamaha AVR 80watts/channel - 2 channels driven). A little bit better bass on the 600M IIs but better efficiency on the 504c II - Note that at +10db on the AVR they both "Shook the House, were Breaking Windows and sending my cat & dog running for a quieter room" - so "loudness" is definitely not in question! (I can't imagine the db level if I could pump the max rated watts into them - I think they would probably move the house off its' foundation!). Highly recommended by a relative Newbie, whose main concern is Immersive and Loud SoundFX in a Movie.

I paired these speakers with a 2252 marantz receiver and a Thorens TD 160 turntable with an ortofon red cartridge. Spent some listening to some old records and was impressed with the detail these speakers have. Bass is good. This is a nice buy. Wonder what the bigger speakers sound like. I would recommend these bookshelf speakers.

Compared to the RP-600Ms

I compared these speakers directly to the RP-600M and the differences I noticed were the old ones have a bit more detail and with that more high pitched sounds from the tweeter. They were also lacking a bit in the mid range. The old ones were fatiguing listening to them for more than 20 minutes. These RP-600M IIs have toned down those high pitched sounds from the tweeter but lost a tiny bit of detail from the highs but the mids are more present and im definitely ok with that. Don't get me wrong it's still detailed and lively but without the ear piercing. The RP-600Ms also sounded like they had a light blanket over them and these new ones sound clearer. I didn't pay attention to the lows/bass because i have a subwoofer but all in all these RP-600M IIs are a step up from the old ones. I especially appreciated the new binding posts that are made of metal and accommodate larger gauge wires and because they're not sunk in at a weird angle they are lined next to each other it's easier to wire if you're not using banana plugs. New ones also have a cork material on the bottom making them less slippery and softer to place on furniture. Overall for the price i got it for they are absolutely magnificent speakers. Keep up the good improvements klipsch!

These literally speak for themselves

Not because I own them, but because they are absolutely crystal clean on the top and the amount of both mid-range and bottom end thump they produce is crazy impressive as well. These speakers truly "speak" for themselves.

Outstanding Bookshelf

In my system (solid state preamp, 20 WPC Class-A amp) and listening space (untreated, uncarpeted, 12'x30'), I am pleased beyond expectations with this speaker (note: my other speakers are Tekton Lores & Omega Super Alnico Monitors). The RP600M-II is an outstanding performer and has no problem filling my listening space with rich beautiful sound! Their bass is surprising - I actually do not turn on my subwoofer when I am using them. They produce tight & authoritative bass I have measured down to 42 Hz, and even down to 38 Hz although at a 4-5 db drop. All frequencies from bass to treble sound balanced. The treble is refined showing no harsh or hard edges, and no sibilance for my ears (Klipsch seems to have tamed their horn). I would characterized them as transparent (not veiled), dynamic, full bodied, rich sounding, and slightly warm in character. I discovered that their grills veil the treble slightly, which impacts the sound stage. Removing the grills restores treble details, widening and deepening the sound stage, enhancing instrument separation and positioning to the point of rendering a fully holographic presentation. I find them best in my space when placed 10' apart, 1' from side walls, 4'+ from any back wall, focused 1-2' in front of the listening position My listening position is 19' distant to cover my dining and living space. Experimenting with speaker height, distances from side & back walls, & toe-in focus or toe-out reflection is a must to find their sweet spot.

Fantastic speaker

I have the original RP-600M speakers and have enjoyed them immensely for the last year or so. After reading and watching a lot of revives, I decided to pick up a pair of the IIs. They have become my new favorite speakers. The base is more defined and realistic, and the highes are more crisp as well. Beautiful midrange as well. I highly recommend them for a set of really musical speakers. Maybe not the most accurate speaker you can buy, they may be the most fun to listen to. I've owned Dynaudio, B&W, Kef, and several other speakers, but I enjoy listening to these more.

Pleasantly Surprised

I was considering the Polk ES-20 because I wasn't sure about the notorious harshness of the Klipsch horn tweeter, but Tim convinced me to try the 600s. Glad I did. Klipsch has tamed the tweeter. Highs are crisp without being fatiguing, mids are nuanced, and the bass is pleasantly full and tight. Soundstage is wide and detailed, but not 3D deep. I found that placement is critical. For me, 14" from the wall, 11 feet between speakers with about a 25 degree toe-in toward my primary listening position 14 feet away. Also, "break in" is a real thing. I've got about 80 hours on them now and they have really come alive. Good sound needs to marinate before its fully ready. I listen primarily to classic rock and big band jazz. Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, Pink Floyd, and the Eagles all shine in this system. And Mark Knopfler is THE Man. My source is either vinyl (with my Audio Technica AT-LP60XBT-USB from Crutchfield) or Tidal streaming via a WiiM Pro. Driving the speakers with two channels of a Denon AVR with 70 wpc. I'll get a proper 2 channel integrated amp when my budget allows. I expect the sound will only improve with the right amp. Please note, these are BIG "bookshelf" speakers! I don't think they would fit on most bookshelves and they definitely need to have space behind them. I built my own speaker stands. They have an industrial look, but necessary since the speakers weigh 18# each. In short, I am pleasantly surprised. Really enjoyin

M Versus MII

This review compares the 600MII to the 600M. The 600 MII is a combination of audio and practical improvements over the highly rated 600 M. I'm using a Rotel RA-1572 integrated amp. While sounding as good with perhaps a better low end, the speaker is excellent in all ranges especially considering the price. There may be an improvement in the 600 MII tweeters but the 600 M tweeters were already outstanding. It seems that the brightness of the high end has been slightly modified down which is a good thing. I owned the 600 M's and replaced them with the 600MII's. I was considering putting cork on the bottom of the 600M's and purchased really nice jumpers because I didn't like the thin plates provided with the binding connection posts. 600 MII's have what sounds like an improved crossover, better wire jumpers for the binding posts, and a cork lined bottom of the cabinet for better isolation. If you choose to bi-wire these speakers, that's certainly available. The cabinets of the MII's seem slightly larger and also sturdier maybe because of the cork. All in all, everything lacking in the 600M (which wasn't much) was corrected with the 600M II. For the price, I think Klipsch got it done better than anyone .

Klipsch 600M II Bookshelf Speakers

I've taken a couple weeks to listen before reviewing. Right out of the box they sounded great, I've had the 600M II Speakers hooked up to 3 different setups 1) MD 100 tuner or Yamaha CD Player, Emotiva preamp and VanAlstine amp, 2) same tuner & CD player w/ Rogue preamp and Hafler DH220 amp, 3) same tuner & CD with a Parasound Halo P6 preamp and B&K ST2140 amp. I love the sound no matter what setup I hook them too. They sound great at low or high volumes but I mainly purchased the 600M II's for low volume night listening. These aren't the only speakers I have incase you're wondering, I also haveWharedale's, Elacs and many other Klipsch speakers. These particular sets of speakers are best at mid to high volume listening that's why I love the 600M II's for low volume. Crutchfield, as always is fantastic to deal with , I look forward to many more purchases(sorry dear) By the way, my wife loves the sound of "all" of my setups, she's a huge fan of the Klipsch 600M II's though.

Poor recommendation

I was looking to replace a pair of Klipsch The Nines. I absolutely loved the sound of them, but software issues with connectivity has convinced me to go back to old school, simple, non-integrated speakers. IMO The Nines are a very musical speaker and when I was looking for a bookshelf speaker on par with The Nines, an associate recommended the 600M II. I was utterly disappointed the moment I put a signal through them. I had done zero research going solely on the associates recommendation and my first thought hearing them was I had purchased a speaker built for a home theater. There was no "soul" to these speakers - no character - no feel - just sound and for me not in a good way. Listening to the The Nines moved me emotionally and I couldn't wait to hear the next piece of music to explore the sound. I felt none of that "movement" with the 600s. Sure they sound good and can deliver some loud sound, but nothing that kept me listening. It was more like just getting through the song and trying not to feel like I had made a mistake. I endured them for about an hour and that was it. I called Crutchfield later in the evening after discovering the KEF R3 Metas. I am hoping that these bring to life the music like the Nines did. Just a note about all highly connected speakers - just remember that EVERYTHING piece of equipment in the signal chain can and will cause a problem at some point - phone, PC, Wiim, whatever.

Surpise, Surprise!

These were purchased to go with a low wattage amp. The rated sensitivity is more like 90db instead of 94+db. They are not terribly picky about amp pairing. Sound has been pretty consistent from 10, 30, 50, and 100 watts classes AB and D. All were good, 2 hit the "synergy" stage though. These are speakers that have thoroughly surprised me. The RP-600M IIs have an absolutely engaging sound. I thought that they might have an exaggerated "smile" sound profile but no. Out of the box they had a smooth, refined top end, a good depth and fullness in the mid-range, but were lacking in bass presence. Breaking them in resolved that and brought out low end articulation and control. More low end presence or extension would be nice but that is what tone controls or subwoofers can help with. Break in also brought out more definition and clarity to the top end. These are very musical speakers that can be enjoyed for hours at a time. Contrary to some other reviews I have come across these do not have a "laser beam" top end. They are not fatiguing at all. One of my "oh!" moments was when doing an A/B comparison of speakers I realized that the RP600s were unveiling the sound of the room acoustics of a choral recording. Hearing that background room reverb brought an intimacy and immediacy to an already wonderful recording. I liked the speakers before that, I loved them after. On the downside: oddly, I am not that fond of their appearance. They make me think of a startled cyc

Great Sound with a Low Profile

The sound definition of these speakers is immediately recognized. If you are changing an old speaker system with these speakers, you hit the jackpot. Big enough to make the big difference in your living room, small enough to keep a low profile. I figured out that I want the greatest sound available without having to sacrifice my living room space. I waited a couple months for the price to come down, as soon as it happened it was a no brainer. After researching for a few months, I knew that these speakers were the best in the market for the magnificent price. If you love music or movies give yourself a gift. Enjoy the speakers!

Klipsch RP-600M very very nice

Replaced JBL 2600 bookshelf speakers with smaller Klipsch RP-600M II and I am impressed with their superior sound on the full musical range. Very high quality look with beautiful walnut cabinets.

Just Get This

Look if you're a "I put cables on cable risers and can hear the difference in metallurgical composition of driver types" then this review isn't for you. If you're a normal human being that just likes good sound then this review is for you. I'm long past the honeymoon phase, I've had these for like 1.5 years at this point. Every single day these get listened to. I use an Onkyo 6100 so these are connected to my Apple TV (main music streaming device), XBox, Switch, Turntable. They get used for everything. They aren't fatiguing. They aren't "brittle on the top end". They are most certainly LOUD. They can produce enough OOMF to feel it in your chest well across the room. I can hear all the details in my music, great soundstaging. I listen to a lot of metal, classic rock, the blues, blues rock, alternative, indie, country, mexican music. I've got a pretty wide range. I'm basically just not listening to rap and hip hop. The ONLY issue I've run into with these is when I was trying to listen to Sleep (a stoner metal band) and the droning mixed with downtuned guitars proved to be too much for the 6 inch drivers and caused them to flub out and lose clarity. That said I doubt that applies to many of you, that is the only instance in which it happened, and a subwoofer fixed the issue which honestly I doubt any bookshelf would have handled that combination of low frequency with droning tone. These look fantastic uncovered in a living room. These are excellent and try for a sale.

Great Speakers

Crisp clear transparent sound, a major upgrade from my Klipsch RB15BK's which are now almost 20 years old. Highly recommend, the only downside is that these speakers are a little on the larger side for those with bookshelf space limitations.

Nice, tight small speakers. Look great and sound nice. Think I will be adding a sub to help with base.

Klipsch 600M vs 600M2

Work great ! Arrives a day ahead of time double packed in box over box. Very good. I A/B against the standard 600M and these do seem a bit more balanced. My ears are listening for midrange guitars sorts of sounds, and the older 600Ms seemed muffled in that range, as i found out about their crossover dip. These bring that up with their upgrades. Perfect!

Good speaker, bad MSRP

Many speakers in the bookshelf category are better described as standmounts -- there's no better starting point than that. The Klipsch RP-600M IIs are huge for a bookshelf speaker, and do a great job of using that space and a well-placed rear port for excellent bass response. The port is well-tuned for a variety of normally-suboptimal placements, and can be tamed with minimal effort on a "tone control" 3-band EQ even as close as a foot from the wall (though further is better for a more neutral sound). The midrange on this product is definitely recessed, but in a smoother way than Klipsch's Reference line. After hearing Klipsch's previous and current generation Reference horn, I'd recommend any would-be Reference tower buyers to go for these and some stands instead. The tweeter on this is controlled despite being boosted. You won't find sibilance for the most part, again in contrast to Reference horns. Now, why 3 stars? One is because I always consider reviews as a judgment against the MSRP. This is a 4 star speaker at $425, the price I paid around July 4th. This is a 3 star speaker at $650, its MSRP. On sale days, Klipsch universally does the deepest sale price cuts and with those attractive-looking 35% off reductions, the RP-600M II easily outperforms the barrage of 5.25in woofer speakers it competes with, especially in 2.0 systems. ELAC's DBR62 is better in 2.1 systems, with better midrange response, as its only real price+size competitor when they are

Replaced my Yamaha 6490 rear surrounds with these Klipsch RP-600M II. Instantly better imaging and sound stage. During movies they match my Klipsch RP-8000F fronts.

Lively dynamic Klipsch sound with excellent clarity in the upper frequencies. The new Tractrix horn design avoids the bright forwardness that can lead to listening fatigue in older horn designs. Solid bass response without muddiness.

Quality sound

I've got my RP 600M II speakers hooked up to a Yamaha S 701 amp and a klipsch 10" subwoofer. Spinning vinyl on audio technica lp7 sounds as good as it gets. warm and authentic sounding. Hearing all the recording nuances. Though it think it's more the Yamaha amp than anything the speakers are very quality sounding. I've been an audio hobbyist for quite a while now.

Why?

Remember reading about the blind taste tests with various brands of similar style beer (in "type" categories like Bock and Pilsner)? Numerous studies showed that NO ONE could tell the difference between say one Pilsner beer and any other Pilsner beer, When told of the results the test participants still maintained that they KNEW their long preferred brand tasted better than others.........in spite of the proof to the contrary. I would lay money on similar results when listening to a comparison of the original RP600m and this later edition. One difference of course is always present.............the cost. That extra hundred or so may better be used toward an amp upgrade or perhaps a sub woofer. Upgrades that are actually that in other words.

Excellent Speakers Massive Sound!

Superb sound. Excellent build quality and great bass. I have them paired with a subwoofer in a 14x17 feet room and the sound is amazing!!!

Not too big. Not too small. Just right!

This is the second set of the RP-600M II speakers that I have purchased from Crutchfield. The first were the black finish and these are the walnut. I will not be hooking these up for some time as I bought them on sale for a system to be built at a later date (sometime early next year). But the first set plays beautifully, look nice (with or without the speaker covers). These Klipsch bookshelf bullies easily fill a relatively large space (a good size living room, dining area and kitchen with 10 ft ceilings). They are paired up with the Marantz 8006 receiver and the Marantz 6008 CD player (black). I mounted the speakers on Kanto 22" White speaker stands and the components on a white four shelf rack. It looks great. I will be pairing this second set with a Marantz Model 50 receiver and a Marantz CD 60 (both the silver/gold).

GET THESE SPEAKERS!!!

these speakers are amazing, the deep clear rich bass, the mids and highs have me revisiting my entire 500+ LP collection as I am hearing aspects in my music I had not heard before with my old speakers. Aesthetically they add flare to my music room. Could not be happier with the Crutchfield team recommending these based on my preferences.

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II

Bought new JBLs first, then ELACs, which I love and are my front speakers; but these are the bomb, especially for the price. I am not an audiophile, but I know that the Eagles (dead or alive) are in the next room. Klipsch is the real deal. Plenty of power and clarity in all of the main ranges/frequencies. Perfect size that makes placement anywhere you want them a good fit, front, surround, etc. Make sure you use speaker stands. Subwoofer preferred , but clearly optional with these. Boom baby...

Great speakers

I bought the original RP-600Ms last month. They have great sound with my SVS SoundBase amplifier driving them. Then I learned about the new RP-600M II. Based on the positive reviews and the reduction in price, I bought them too. I can honestly mention that they sound different. Version I have a definitive dip in frequency response around 2KHz. This is not an issue if you use an equalizer. Version II does not have the dip so they sound "brighter" but never harsh. Subjectively based on my listening sessions (Same room, same amplifier), I can honestly say that the RP-600M II seem to be a better match to the SVS SoundBase. Definitely I can hear an improvement in mids and highs. Bass sounds slightly more refined and detailed. I'm not saying that the RP- 600Ms doesn't have a great sound, just acknowledging that Klipsch has done a very good job on the RP-600M IIs. Honestly I can recommend both versions. He comprado ambas versiones de las bocinas RP-600M. Conectadas a mi SVS SoundBase y luego de varias sesiones a modo de comparación, puedo decir que la versión II presenta un mejor sonido. Esto no quiere decir que las RP-600M no suenen bien, honestamente tienen muy buen sonido pero reconozco que Klipsch ha hecho un gran trabajo con las RP-600 II. Apreciar y distinguir el buen sonido es una experiencia subjetiva por eso recomiendo ambas versiones.

Superior to the Gen 1s, definitely hear a better flatter response through the entire frequency range.

Try these speakers, they might just be the ones.

These speakers are very transparent l can hear all the details from string noise to breath pops. I love the definition and presence; I find them to be well balanced between high and low end. As a musician I love these qualities, although a casual listener might find them fatiguing. If that's the case, I recommend using a tube amp. I ran my turntable through a Daytonaudio 12w tube and it warmed them up, but I prefer my Arcam. I tried a lot of speakers within my budget. (Boston's, Martin Logan's, NHT's, Canton's, and Monitor Audio's) I found that these Klipsch speakers are the ones for me. At the end of the day sound is subjective, try everything. You'll find the best you can afford. Good luck on your audio journey. Have fun.

Only Klipsch for me

These little Klipsch are outstanding. The bi-wiring makes a difference! Connected to a Marantz 1711 and that's all these ears can take! Too many loud shows in the 70's and 80's. Lol.

Unimpressed

Let me preface this by saying that some may like the sound these speakers produce, and they are very well-built. They also are easy to drive and have no problem filling a large room without a hint of distortion. I was thoroughly unimpressed by these speakers for music listening; they're very good for cinema. In music, they sound as if someone placed a blanket over the front of the drivers. I actually enjoy the entry-level R-50M more than this model. The only genre I listened to on these that seemed to suit them was hard rock and some Swedish metal. Even still, the PSB Imagine XBs that I chose over these were at least as good with that style of music and cost a good bit less on sale. Midrange is almost absent as well. If your use case is primarily movies then these may be a good choice for you; otherwise, there are better options at this price point.

Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II

After a lot of YouTube and other deep diving on speakers costing less than $1000 I finally pulled the trigger on the 600M's. I knew I was in for a lively exp with these. However I thought my Rega Brio amp would help in calming some of the brightness. Delivery and service from Crutchfield was fantastic as usual. Now I knew these were quite bright, however on first listening was not really prepared for how bright these sounded. On some recordings (Jazz, female vocals) it was almost painful to listen to. Never a true believer in 'running in' I'd thought I'd made a terrible mistake. However after a week of 'bearing with it' all the bright disappeared almost overnight. The 600M's certainly are lively but now sound a lot more natural and revealing. Perhaps 'running in' is a thing after all !! (Klipsch actually recommend 100 hrs)
