Review: Very good speakers especially for movies . - 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 .
Review: Worth the Cost - 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these front firing or rear firing speakers?**
A: Front firing. There is no rear port on these speakers. In my case, they are placed in corners and there are no sound issues (that I can hear) related to their front firing design.

**Q: Is the bass good enough on the rb 61s to use for 2 channel stereo with no subwoifer?**
A: I am using these speakers for two channel stereo and they are outstanding, as such. But the bottom end cuts off at 45 Hz. The RB61 II's are a big, large size bookself speaker, which I feel are really between a bookself and floor standing speaker and this gives an excellent  voice. A humans hearing is 20 to 20,000 Hz, so a suboofer with todays speakers,  including the RB61 II,  improves and fills in the lower end of the sound spectrum, but you may be satisfied with what they deliver alone, because they are an excellent large speaker.

**Q: I CANT DECIDE BETWEEN RB 61 II OR RB 81 II**
A: I have the RB 61 II and I use them with a Polk audio subwoofer. They are tremendous. The sound is big, full and rich and they fill my house. They are perfectly balanced, requiring no equalization. I faced the same decision and I'm very happy I chose the 61's. They really rock my world.

**Q: Can these be used as rear speakers with courus 2's in the front or will they get overwhelmed? I am using a Denon avr x 4100w.
Is 125w too much power**
A: They are very efficent speakers and they can handle high power too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The RB-61ii is a true winner!
*by J***H on May 20, 2018*

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!
