Know before you buy
Yes, these are passive speakers, meaning they do not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect them to an external receiver or power amplifier to produce sound.
Yes, the RP-600M II features dual aluminum binding posts on the back, which allow for both bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations if your amplifier supports it.
Because these speakers use a rear-firing Tractrix port, it is recommended to place them at least 6 to 12 inches away from the wall to prevent bass buildup and ensure the port functions as intended.
Absolutely. Their 6.5-inch Cerametallic woofers and horn-loaded tweeters provide a wide, detailed soundstage that works very well as a front left/right pair in a home theater system.
The included grilles are designed to be acoustically transparent, so they should not noticeably impact the sound. However, for the most precise audio performance, some listeners prefer to remove them.
The Tractrix horn geometry increases efficiency and controls the direction of the sound. This helps deliver more detail and clarity directly to your listening position while reducing unwanted reflections in the room.
