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.

With explosive dynamics, a wide, deep soundstage and vivid horn-loaded detail, the RP-600M II makes rock, pop and movies feel thrillingly large. ecoustics found markedly improved imaging and articulate bass, while Sound Advice praised its blend of subtle refinement and serious drive. Efficient and expressive, it brings live-scale energy to modest-powered systems.
What Reviewers Are Saying
Pros
Delivers exceptionally lively, impactful dynamics with strong composure at higher volumes.
Creates a broad, deep soundstage with sharply defined imaging and convincing separation of complex mixes.
High sensitivity makes it an easy, rewarding match for modest-powered amplifiers.
Improved cabinet, binding posts and bracing lend the speaker a more substantial, polished build.

Cons
Forward, elevated treble can become bright or fatiguing with already-bright recordings and electronics.
Rear-port bass is placement-sensitive; inadequate space from walls can make the low end muddy or boomy.
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 88/100
The RP-600M II is repeatedly described as a large-scale, lively and highly engaging standmount, especially suited to rock, pop, electronic music and film soundtracks. Its strongest qualities are explosive dynamics, spacious imaging and a clear, immediate presentation, though its elevated upper frequencies and forward voicing will not suit every listener or recording.
Bass
88/100
For a 6.5-inch standmount, reviewers find the bass notably weighty, fast and well extended, with ecoustics hearing authority and texture into the 40Hz region. Several listeners call it surprisingly substantial for its size, but the rear port needs breathing room: close-wall placement can make the low end muddy or boomy, and some reviewers still prefer adding a subwoofer for the lowest notes.
Mid
86/100
Vocals and acoustic instruments are often praised for presence, resolution and emotional clarity; reviewers heard particularly convincing saxophone, female vocals and fine inner detail. The voicing is not wholly neutral, however: multiple reviewers note an upper-mid forwardness, while some find lower male vocals thinner or less fully developed than the rest of the range.
Treble
82/100
The revised horn tweeter brings abundant detail, speed and clarity, with several reviewers finding it smoother and more refined than earlier Klipsch designs. At the same time, a recurring caveat is an elevated, forward treble that can make brass, strings, cymbals and upper vocals sound hard or fatiguing; grilles, modest toe-out or careful positioning can help.
Soundstage Imaging
92/100
This is a standout strength. Reviews consistently report a broad, deep stage, sharply defined centre images and strong separation of dense musical layers, while Sound Advice found the stereo image works well for more than one listener. Some setup experimentation with toe-in or toe-out remains worthwhile, but the speaker is widely praised for sounding considerably larger and more spacious than its dimensions suggest.
Dynamics
92/100
Reviewers repeatedly highlight the speaker's speed, punch and ability to reproduce crescendos, drums and high-energy music with unusual impact. It stays composed at elevated levels and is easy to drive, although one reviewer found it responds especially well to higher-quality amplification in the 40 to 75 watt range.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Quality
88/100
The cabinet is widely considered solidly made, with internal bracing, a dense composite front baffle and a high-quality vinyl finish despite not using real wood veneer. Reviewers also welcome the improved aluminium binding posts and cork base, though GR Research regards some crossover parts as budget-grade rather than premium.
Value for Money
86/100
At roughly $750 per pair, opinion is divided. ecoustics calls it one of the best buys around and says it compares favourably with speakers below $1,500, while StereoNET considers its price modest; however, several reviewers feel the asking price is a little high amid intense competition and recommend buying at a discount nearer $550 to $600.
