Bigger Horn, Better Sound
A new, larger 90 x 90 silicone composite hybrid Tractrix horn provides incredibly efficient transfer of high-frequency waves into the listening area for crisper, clearer sound. The phase plug and compression molded silicone face ensure smooth frequency response.
Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter
The exclusive 1" LTS minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference Premiere Series, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.
Vented Tweeter Design
The vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high-frequency reproduction.
All-New Cerametallic Woofer
A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series speakers, the 6.5" Cerametallic woofer has been updated for absolutely flawless sound reproduction, minimum distortion, and maximum efficiency. The redesigned woofer will deliver the power, detail, and emotion you expect from a Klipsch Reference Premiere speaker.
Tractrix Port
Utilizing Tractrix geometry, the Reference Premiere port allows for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies and cleaner, more powerful bass.
Bi-Wiring Bi-Amping Capability
Dual input terminals for bi-wiring / bi-amping capabilities separate high and low-frequency current into different speaker cables, reducing distortion for clearer midrange. Bi-amping allows for further optimization of performance with separate outboard power amplifiers for the high frequency and low-frequency drivers.

Powered by a lively horn-loaded tweeter and an efficient Cerametallic woofer, the RP-600M II serves up startlingly immediate, room-filling impact with crisp transients and a surprisingly wide soundstage. The design favors clarity and presence, making vocals and guitars leap forward, while its high sensitivity means modest amps drive it with ease. A charismatic, imaging-focused bookshelf speaker.
Pros
- Fast, punchy dynamics and excellent transient speed that make rock and percussion feel lively and immediate.
- Generous, well-focused stereo imaging and a wide soundstage that projects beyond the cabinets for immersive listening.
- High efficiency and easy drivability—performs well with modest integrated amps or low-powered tube gear due to the horn/tweeter design.
- Refined midrange clarity and vocal presence once placement and system matching are optimized.
&
Cons
- Treble can be forward or a touch bright for some listeners; reviewers note a top‑end tilt that benefits from toe‑in or the grille.
- Rear Tractrix port and voicing make placement finicky—speakers need room behind them or careful positioning to avoid boomy or uneven bass.
- Lower-bass extension is limited in larger rooms; many reviewers recommend adding a subwoofer for full-range immersion at higher listening levels.

Bass
89/100
6.5" Cerametallic woofer and rear Tractrix port deliver deeper-than-expected extension (reviews note useful output to ~40Hz and 44Hz spec). Multiple reviewers caution about placement and room interaction—needs space behind or a sub for full immersion—so bass is excellent for a 6.5" ported bookshelf but not floorstander-level.
Mid
90/100
Consistently praised for vocal clarity, presence and timbral detail across reviews (noted as transparent and detailed with good texture). Reviewers describe a balanced midband that conveys intimacy and instrument body while retaining the Klipsch character.
Treble
86/100
Tractrix horn-loaded titanium LTS tweeter gives clear, highly efficient highs with strong detail and imaging, but several reviewers report a slightly forward/top-tilt (around 8kHz) and some listeners may perceive upper-register hardness unless toe-in/grilles are used.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
Multiple reviews highlight a wide, deep and well-focused soundstage; imaging snaps into focus with modest toe-in and yields a broad sweet spot. Improved crossover integration was cited as contributing to better layering and center specificity.
Dynamics
91/100
High sensitivity and refined motor structure produce lively micro- and macro-dynamics, with reviewers citing strong punch, quick transients and the ability to convey both subtle detail and explosive rock dynamics even with modest amplification.

Build Quality
88/100
Solidly constructed with internal bracing and redesigned composite front baffle; finishes are vinyl wraps (high-quality) rather than real veneer. Upgraded motor structure and larger voice coils were noted as improving control and power handling.
Features Connectivity
82/100
Passive bookshelf baseline applied (80) plus +2 for bi-wiring/bi-amp capable dual aluminum binding posts; rear port and cork base pads mentioned but no DSP or streaming (not penalized).
Value for Money
92/100
Reviewers repeatedly call the RP-600M II a strong buy at its price (examples: 'one of the best buys around', compares favorably with speakers below $1,500). Given the performance-to-price and wide applicability, value is rated very high.
