Incredible Theater-Quality and Hi-Fi Stereo Sound

Get incredible theater-quality and hi-fi stereo sound with the RP-500M bookshelf speakers.

These speakers also excel for hi-fi applications and are wonderful for stereo speakers in limited spaces like a bedroom, office, or small living room.

"The Klipsch RP-600M speakers are fine home theater speakers and can be much better than average stereo speakers with careful setup and equipment matching," reports Glenn Young in, March 18, 2019.

90 x 90 Silicon Composite Hybrid Tractrix® Horn

Horn loading maximizes efficiently and increases detail while focusing high frequencies towards the listening area. Proprietary Tractrix® geometry provides the most efficient transfer of high frequency waves into the listening area. The phase plug and compressed molded silicon face ensure smooth frequency response. When combined, the cleanest, most natural sound possible is created.

Linear Travel Suspension (LTS)
The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension minimizes distortion for enhanced, detailed performance. LTS tweeters are a hallmark of previous Reference lines, making it a core component of some of the best speakers in the world.

Titanium Diaphragm Tweeter

The new vented tweeter housing reduces standing waves that create unwanted
harmonics, resulting in enhanced detail and clarity in high frequency reproduction.


Spun Copper Cerametallic™ Woofers

A signature feature on the Reference Premiere series, Cerametallic™ woofers are exceptionally rigid and lightweight for minimal distortion and maximum efficiency. When paired with the Tractrix® horn-loaded LTS tweeter, it provides the highest speaker efficiency in its class.


Robust Input Terminals

Single 5-way screw terminals accept banana plugs or bare wire up to 12-gauge for flexible, lasting connections while the vibrant color coding provides easy set-up and connection.


Tractrix® Ports

Utilizing Tractrix® geometry, the Reference Premiere ports allow for the most efficient, fastest air transfer from the cabinet, which reduces port noise for punchier low frequencies. Klipsch Tractrix® ports have custom designed inner flares that help reduce air turbulence entering the port. Less turbulent air helps reduce port noise for cleaner, more powerful bass.

Dramatic Details

Dramatic details adding to the RP-500Ms impressive appearance include copper anodized trim rings, cast aluminum feet, satin painted baffles and a laser etched logo treatment give the Reference Premiere II series a modern, premium look. Strong, flexible, removable grille attaches magnetically for an elegant transition from powerful showstopper to discrete performance piece.
