Reference R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 90-Degree x 90-Degree Tractrix Horn - Linear Travel Suspension - Sleek, Modern Appearance

Im a big fan of these speakers. First things first. They sounded a bit tinny at first, but the more I listen to them, the better they sound. Speakers have a typical 10 to 12 hr break-in period before they start sounding their best. I got the 4 inch woofer model. I like that they have Qualcomm's Apt X built in which takes your Bluetooth streaming sound up a big notch by making it HD. The tweeters are more on the bright side. The woofers are small but surprisingly punchy. They sound good on their own but sooooo much better after I hooked up the Klipsch 10 inch sub that I bought separately. I use the speakers for music and movies so a separate sub was needed for sure. Overall, for the size of this speaker, I give the sound quality and features a 9/10.

Sound great. Better than expected. Easy to set up. The two speakers connect via standard speaker wire and can be spaced pretty far apart if needed. Seem solid. Don’t lose the remote as controls on the speaker are extremely limited. I paired them with a Klipsch sub and I would highly reccomended this as the bass is so much better.

My husband had difficulty setting up at first but we finally got them hooked up and he loves them! They are compact and the sound quality is great.

Simply put, these Klipsch speakers hit the spot if you’re looking for a sound that’s accurate, satisfyingly clear and versatile. For reference, I’m a non-professional audiophile. Currently own the latest Sonos Immersive Set (Gen 2 Beam, 2 Eras Speakers for surround, plus the Mini Sub) in addition to the Edifier S3000 MKII’s which are hooked up to a WiiM Ultra (using as a DAC for endless sound customization and to hook them up to a sub easily) and the Klipsch R-100SW Subwoofer - both are phenomenal depending on the sound I’m in the mood for including music, movies, TV, etc. Nonetheless, when I saw these R-40PM’s on sale for literally 50%+ off, I gave in and bought them just to see… after all, they do play perfectly with my Klipsch sub. NO REGRETS. They fill the room wonderfully and give that classic Klipsch airy, wide-stage sound. It’s pure, satisfyingly full and warm. They get loud with ZERO distortion at any level in a 20x12 room hooked up to my Klipsch sub. I would not feel the same without the sub. They need it if you’re looking full-spectrum sound and want to play them loud. If you don’t want the added sub, I’m sure the larger R-50PM’s would deliver what you’re looking for. Pro Tip: If you want to get the best sound possible when using with your TV, I strongly recommend getting a WiiM Ultra so you can get Dolby Atmos sound (converted to PCM Atmos). To do this, simply connect a high-speed HDMI cable from your TV to the WiiM Ultra, then use either high-quality RCA cables or an optical cable from the WiiM to the R-40PMs. You can then use the AI sound correction from the WiiM app to customize the sound perfectly to your room. Much much better sound compared to simply connecting the TV to the speakers via an optical cable. Hope this helps!

Great sound for the size and price. A little bit challenging to connect with my turn table. I would recommend if looking for speakers in this price range. Love to be able to listen to vinyls!

Firstly, product arrived in short order from the other side of the country in great condition, less costly than was being charged by our local retailers. If this is indicative of the service provided by this business I would definitely patronize this retailer again! Secondly, wanted to upgrade PC audio from Razer Nommo that served me well but was a little overburdened trying to carry lows, mids, and highs in a very compact form factor (non-woofer option). The level up was more than expected; audio is full, warm, and clear all in the same package. Connectivity is varied and provides much utility, whether you want to connect wirelessly or wired, both options worked flawlessly. The option for a line out to a powered subwoofer answers any question you may have about limited low-end frequencies, but I've found that even at low volumes I get all the rich audio I was looking for. This purchase exceeded my expectations and I would definitely recommend these monitors to anyone looking for an affordable upgrade to their basic PC audio needs.

The sound quality is actually pretty good. I’m not a professional, but as an average user with no training, I’m willing to give it five stars for sound alone. However, my only complaint is the strange audio delay issue. Whenever I first power on my device and open the first YouTube, Instagram, or any video from any platform, the sound takes about 2–5 seconds to appear. It happens every single time. My old speakers never had this problem. After watching a few videos, everything becomes normal. When I pause/play or mute/unmute, the audio responds immediately. Though occasionally, the delay still happens a few times throughout the day. I’ve used several other speakers and headphones before, and I’ve never encountered this issue with any of them.

I have this set hooked up to an Alienware 18 & to a self built desktop. Before this set, I had a Razer Nomo Pro & that was not trouble free from the day I got it. These sound like my living room 5.1 & bedroom 5.1 Klipsch speakers. This set puts all other PC speakers to shame.
