Klipsch R-41M Powerful Detailed Bookshelf Home Speaker Set of 2 Black

Product Information

I then swopped the AK120 and the optical cable it was attached to, moving it to the phono connections and upgrading the cable to a high quality example form Chord. Playing the same song, I was very happy to hear that the speakers could translate the sounds from the better cable. That is, the cable’s superiority was fully represented in the sonic output. Personally, I love the stripped-down design, which has always been a trademark of the Indiana-based brand. Build quality 4.5 Klipsch has used medium density fiberboard for the construction of these speakers. It comes with a wooden vinyl finish to ensure the surface of the speakers remains resistant to any scratches. The R-41M bookshelf speakers offer maximum versatility without sacrificing performance from a small, yet elegant audio solution. Designed as main speakers for a compact living space or surround sound to support a Reference speaker system, the R-41M bookshelf speakers are the ideal choice for your home theatre system.

Klipsch already has many active subwoofers to choose from, and you can easily set it up to a 2.1-channel system. While many speaker manufacturers have shifted to more modern speaker design styles, the Klipsch has stayed with what is classic.They don’t weigh a ton either. The pair of speakers only weighs in at 7 lbs each. This is relatively light when compared to other bookshelf speakers of the same power and performance level. Glancing at the price tag, I was prepared for fairly serious compromises. After all, the price is not just for the speakers but all of the other gear inside too. Hence the speakers themselves, if you think about the project budget as a whole, are actually only a part of the overall price. Under the hood, everything remains the same between R41M and R51M except the fact the R51M has better wattage output. It means it is far better in sound handling at different frequencies especially at higher volumes if you compare it with the R41M. Controls Klipsch R41M These speakers are well-thought-out and well-made; they have a solid build and are outfitted with premium parts to guarantee years of pristine audio performance. Specification Specification

The peak power rating of the R-41M is 200W. This is great because the Klipsch proprietary LTS horn-loaded tweeter and the image-molded graphite woofer can only use about 50W of continuous power. These speakers create an enveloping and exciting soundscape for your audio and video entertainment. They are equally at home with high-energy, dynamic film scores or quiet, intricate musical parts. Listen to another song, “Almost Like Being in Love,” sung by Joe Stilgoe. The R-41PM presents a moderately open sound field. But it is not very heavy. If you want to get a fuller bass, remember to add a subwoofer. As the piano has a solid feeling, the overall sense of layering is perfect, and the tone is relatively soft.Throughout the test I never felt short changed by the Klipsch R-41PM speakers. You have to keep in mind how much you’re asking these speakers to do for the money and, as such, they offer a lot for the price. Coupled with the wide array of connectivity options (more than some expensive models I could mention), the comparatively neutral sound output and the admirable clarity over the entire soundstage, the R-41PM speakers offer tremendous value for money. If you’re looking for a pair of powered speakers, keep the Klipsch R-41PMs at the top of your demo list. On my right I had the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR and on the left the Klipsch R-41M. With levels matched and playing one channel at a time, the R-41M had no bass. It was all mid to highs. And boy, are those some highs. If you have not shaved, they are sharp enough to do that for you. I can see without a reference an inexperienced listener would instantly like them as "more clear, more detail, better imaging, etc." Switch to Pioneer though and you hear such a balance in tonality. Bass is there and overall sound is warm and pleasant. Not so with R-41M That said, the R-41M seems to be more versatile and “forgiving” as a speaker, working well in rooms of various sizes, whereas the T15’s sound is best in mid-sized rooms but gets muddy in small and large environments.

The Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speakers have a maximum power input of 200 watts, making them compatible with most receivers. Do these speakers come with any mounting hardware or stands?The tweeter here is equipped with linear travel suspension technology and it ensures minimal distortion with more details in all the notes. Klipsch has used Kapton to construct these tweeters to significantly improve the resolution even better than its predecessor models. The overall build quality of these speakers is not going to falter, after all, it is Klipsch. The brand’s signature copper spun woofer is equipped with a 1-inch LTS aluminum tweeter. These speakers are a wonderful option for many consumers because they provide a perfect blend of performance and price. Nevertheless, other bookshelf speakers on the market offer more advanced capabilities or higher-end sound quality. Reinforced MDF construction reduces cabinet vibration for less audible colouration and improved sonic accuracy. Key Features:

But the speakers are good at handling low to midrange sound thanks to the 1-inch LTS aluminum tweeter that is paired with the Tractrix Horn of 90×90 square. However, you might need to think twice about mounting them on a wall or other enclosed surface. The Klipsch R-41M have rear fire ports. These rear fire ports have bass reflexes on them as well. Now, let’s get to the juicy part. The sound coming out of the R-41M is crisp and pristine, and it gets more vibrant when you increase the volume. Just like other Klipsch speakers, the R-41M is a horn-loaded speaker. It uses 90×90° Tractrix horn technology to reduce any artificial reverb. This way, the R-41M improves sound quality. Although the strength is much better than long-distance listening, for those who love extra low-frequency, the sense of energy may still be a bit weak. But it doesn’t matter! The advantage of R-41P is that you can add a subwoofer freely. ConclusionThe exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Kapton® is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter suspension to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of Klipsch speakers, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world. These speakers are manufactured by Klipsch, a famous audio brand that has been in the business for over 7 decades. Klipsch is known for its loud and dynamic sound, which some audiophiles claim to be unrefined. The R-41M is no exception in the loud and dynamic sound department either. Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer cones are exceptionally light while being extremely rigid – providing remarkable low frequency response, with minimal cone breakup and distortion. When paired with the Tractrix Horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides speaker efficiency highest in its class.
