25.11.2024 15:30 | ~1 minute read
Klipsch has introduced the Klipsch Reference R-60M bookshelf loudspeakers. The new model has become the largest bookshelf loudspeakers, complementing the more affordable R-40M and R-50M options. The speakers will fit into both a home theater sound system and a stereo system, providing high-quality sound.
The Klipsch R-60M bookshelf loudspeakers is equipped with a 25-mm aluminum Linear Travel Suspension tweeter, which is designed to minimize distortion at high frequencies. The rest of the working range is entrusted to a speaker with a proprietary copper TCP diffuser with a diameter of 16 cm, which, thanks to the tricle-down technology developed for the Reference Premiere series, provides a “smoother response” and “improved accuracy and transparency”.
In keeping with Klipsch's tradition of using Tractrix horn technology, the speaker features a larger outer horn for better high-frequency directivity and a more accurate soundstage.
The Klipsch Reference R-60M cabinets are constructed from 20mm thick MDF panels and reinforced with internal bracing, which helps reduce vibration for reduced distortion and improved sonic accuracy. The Klipsch R-60M bookshelf speakers are available in a black finish with a suggested retail price of €449 / $399 USD.
