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

Product Information

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. 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. Klipsch speakers are a lot of fun and really come to life at higher volumes. Most people agree that their signature sound makes them very well-suited for home theater. They are decent for listening to music, but if high volume listening is not a requirement, there are better alternatives within the same budget.

But when we talk about R51M speakers, we will see that the 340W speakers are huge. The dimensions of these speakers are 13.3-inch x 7-inch x 8.5-inch and the speaker weighs aloof 10 pounds. Speaker Cables without Connectors: If you are not sure about the lenght or need longer than standard cables with plugs, choose this option. Speaker Cables with Banana Plugs: If you know the lenght of the cable you need, this is the easier option to connect your speakers with your amp. 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 The paneling on all sides is made out of MDF covers. MDF looks good and helps in reducing any excess vibrations that might bleed out from the speakers. It is also scratch-resistant.

What's in the box:

The 1 inch tweeter square dome is horn loaded, a signature design choice from Klipsch. The exclusive Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) is designed to minimize distortion for enhanced, detailed performances. Material wise, the Kapton aluminium blend is an extremely light and rigid material used in the tweeter suspension to provide high efficiency and improve resolution and detail. Again, Klipsch has used copper spun woofers in the construction of the woofer and these speakers also feature 1-inch LTS aluminum tweeters. 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.

This means that putting the speakers too close to any wall or similar object will seriously hamper the bass’s quality that the speaker is putting out. The R41M is a 200W speaker and weighs around 7 pounds. The dimensions of this speaker are 11.3-inch x 5.75-inch x 7.9-inch. It means this speaker is pretty much normal in size. While the R-41M has a frequency range of 68 Hz – 21 kHz, the Polk T15’s frequency range is 48 Hz – 40 kHz, meaning the latter can reproduce lower frequencies and give you a more robust bass performance. 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

These speakers are easy to set up and there is no complexity about using them either. Exposed fasteners and low profile magnetic grilles give the speakers a polished, modern appearance.
