With its superior technology and elegant design, this speaker definitely stands out in a crowd. Because compromise isn't an option, the Reference Series RB-61 lets listeners experience all the power, detail and emotion of cinematic spectacles and riveting concert performances. With its superior technology and elegant design, this speaker definitely stands out in a crowd. Exclusive Tractrix(R) Horns have always been the key component of this critically acclaimed series. In the RB-61, this technology has been refined to include improved throat geometry for a more genuine, lifelike sound. Behind the horn lies a 1-inch titanium tweeter with a large ceramic motor structure to provide a unique combination of precision, clarity and effortless power. The RB-61 employs a 6.5-inch woofer for a solid bass foundation. This Cerametallic(TM) woofer with inverted copper dust cap exhibits a very high stiffness-to-mass ratio and superb damping characteristics. The RB-61's front-firing port eliminates turbulence noise and makes installation into custom cabinetry a breeze. Increased baffle ribbing around the horn mouth dramatically improves acoustics across the sonic range. For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RB-61 features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impecable Sound, October 31, 2009

This review is from: Klipsch Reference Series RB-61 - Left / right channel speakers - 100 Watt - 2-way (Electronics)

I auditioned numerous speakers before discovering Klipsch sort of by accident. It sounds overstated, but the simple truth is the rich perfect sound from these speakers exceeds anything I've ever heard. Polk, Cerwin Vega, Boston Acoustics, Infinity, Bose and many more that I or family members have owned all pale in comparison to these.

The first thing I popped in when I paired these up with my RC-52 center was Eagle Eye on BluRay. The speakers they replaced weren't bad, but the difference was startling. Every little background sound in the soundtrack is clear and distinct. Dialog that was lost before became perfectly clear. Yet with the crisp clarity there is no harsh or mechanical quality to the sound. It remains rich and full. They handle music, video games and eveything else I have given them with equal ease.

If there is a volume level at which the sound quality detiorates it exceeds my ability to tolerate. If there is a better set of spaekers in any price range I have yet to hear them. I look forward to rounding out the system with Klipsch rear surrounds and subwoofer.

Don't pay more than $400/pair. Well worth that price though. Efficient, crisp, clear, LOUD - just like a Klipsch should be. Can take a beating before distorting. Beware of ear fatigue if your not used to loud music. If you don't like horn loaded tweeter's look elsewhere now, Klipsch sound is pretty much defined by it.

The drawback is their size, for a 'bookshelf' speaker this fella has a pretty big footprint and cieling. Nothing excessive though, just a bit on the robust side.

In retrospect I would have bought a pair of the RF-61's instead, just so I didn't have to use speaker stands - not because the RB-61 has let me down sonically. The sound here is wonderful.

(don't use a yamaha receiver to push these or any other klipsch speakers. For some reason Yamaha makes Klipsch sound like trash. Pioneer, NAD, Marantz, HK, and Arcam match very well with Klipsch. Onkyo I have found to be acceptable for klipsch, but not ideal. i have come across many disagreements for my stance on onkyo)

This review is from: Klipsch Reference Series RB-61 - Left / right channel speakers - 100 Watt - 2-way (Electronics)

They are a bit overbright in the high tones when they are new and need a break in time. When they have played for some time, the overbright sound is gone. So be patient for a little while. After the break in, you will get: Clean crisp treble with a lot of detail in the music. They can play loud with out loosing the control of the music. There is a good bass, but missing deep bass. Suppley with an active subwoofer and you have a great sound set up. They work wery well with my B&W ASW 608 sub and 14 watt Singel End tube amp.
