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

Product Information

Keep the speaker near the rear wall for extra bass. Horns are quite directive so that minimizes rear wall interference in the highs too.

And with just an increase in overall output, they also get a bigger size and that increases the prize. So primarily you are paying more for better output power, cleaner mids and highs, and overall a better listening experience for audio enthusiasts. If you can’t stretch the budget to go for something like a Klipsch RP-500SA, then the R51M is a great option. Size Klipsch R41M If this is your first step into the audiophile world, these speakers are an excellent option because they work well in most environments, are not power-draining, and offer a faithful sonic reproduction. Add more bass to the R-41Ms with a matching subwoofer, or team them with other Klipsch Reference speakers for high-impact home theater.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. Again, Klipsch has used copper spun woofers in the construction of the woofer and these speakers also feature 1-inch LTS aluminum tweeters. This implies that even with high power, your speakers aren’t going to suffer from damage or distortion. This is especially useful when it comes to preventing damage to speakers from electrical surges and outages. I also know this is a dumb question but is it a passive pair or do I need to get an amplifier to power it? I’ve been looking at the specs and I’m confused because I’ve seen ads where it says it’s powered. Are the different versions of the R41m? Since you are going to connect these speakers to an amplifier or a receiver, keep in mind that their impedance is 8 ohms compatible. Be sure to select a compatible amplifier to get the best and safest results. Sound

Similarly to the rest of the Reference family (the older R-14M, R-15M, and the R-51M), the R-41M loses a bit on the lower frequency side, but truly we can’t expect more from the size and budget of these speakers. The Klipsch Reference R-41M speaker is a versatile, high-performance audio device suitable for a wide range of uses. With an RMS rated power of 50 W and a peak music power output of 200 W, this speaker delivers clear and powerful sound. A pair of R-41M speakers won’t have any issues performing as a home theater system. In fact, while I think they create a pleasant and enveloping surround sound, they also shine as front speakers. Compared to other bookshelf speakers 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. Talking about the hardware, it is almost the same as what the R41M has in it. There is a 1-inch LTC aluminum tweeter in this speaker and pairs well with the Tractrix Horn of 90×90 square.

Product Research

Tractrix Horns along with copper spun IMG 5.25-inch woofer further clarifies the sound output and reduces any component noise.

compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters If you are looking for a pair of speakers just to watch your television or movies, the better option for you to consider is the R41M bookshelf features.Speaker Stands: Stands bring your bookshelf speakers to ideal height (rule of thumb is to have the tweeter level with your ear in your listening position), helps stability and acoustical isolation. This comparison is a difficult one because both speakers are excellent for the money. The SS-CS5 is a 3-driver speaker that goes up to 50 kHz, which, unless you’re a dolphin or a bat, you might not care about; yet the music has a sense of airiness that’s unmatched by the R-41M.

Over 1000 points around the speaker were measured (from 20 to 20 kHz) which resulted in well under 1% error in identification of the sound field emanating from the speaker up to about 18 kHz. Above that the error increases slightly. Final database of measurements and data is 1.4 Gigabytes in size. On the other hand, the R51M comes with all the features, R41M has to offer but it also comes with a high-powered output of up to 340W. It means these speakers are pretty efficient in handling different sounds. Exposed fasteners and low profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.

Product highlights:

XT15 can handle a max power of 150 watts RMS from the amp the whereas R-41M has a max power handling value of 50 watts RMS, 100 watts less than the XT15. Size of a speaker can sometimes become an important decision factor due to space constraints or in some cases purely for esthetic reasons.
