The speakers are of a perfect size for mounting on walls or bookshelves, and other surfaces. Standing just under a foot tall, their dimensions are as follows, 11.3 inches tall, 5.75 inches wide, and 7.9 inches deep. S15 features Single Gold Plated Binding Posts type posts and R-41M has a Single Gold Plated Binding Posts type posts. None of these speakers feature bi-amping/bi-wiring. Personally, I love the stripped-down design, which has always been a trademark of the Indiana-based brand. Build quality 4.5 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 tweeter here is equipped with linear travel suspension technology and it ensures minimal distortion with more details in all the notes. Klipsch has used Kapton to construct these tweeters to significantly improve the resolution even better than its predecessor models. The 1″ aluminium LTS horn-loaded tweeter does an outstanding job at reproducing higher frequencies with transparent clarity, and the 4″ IMG woofer handles lower frequencies well enough to create an immersive sound effect.

Klipsch R-41M Speaker System Review

If you are looking for a pair of speakers just to watch your television or movies, the better option for you to consider is the R41M bookshelf features. The sound the speakers produce is very crisp and clear. This is because of the signature horn-loaded design that the company uses. The 90×90° Tractrix Square that houses the tweeter does a lot to minimize any audio distortion that can compromise the sound’s quality.

S15 can handle a max power of 100 watts RMS from the amp the whereas R-41M has a max power handling value of 50 watts RMS, 50 watts less than the S15. A magnetic grille covers the front of the speaker. The grille is flexible and removable. It is also strong, so you don’t need to worry about its durability too much.

Product Research

The update to the reference series have more powerful amps and a dynamic bass EQ feature. That means the R-41M can get louder than the older R-14M, while also benefitting from improved bass. However, they still don’t get quite as loud as the discontinued R-15Ms, which currently costs around the same. Consider the R-15Ms as an alternative to the R-41Ms.

Klipsch speakers are known for being able to produce a lot of sound for their size, and the R-41M are no exception. The 4 inch spun-copper IMG woofer and 1” Aluminum LTS tweeter (mated to a 90 x 90 square Tractrix® Horn) can deliver a whooping 50W of continuous power handling and 200W of peak power handling. The 90dB sensitivity @ 1 watt means the R-41Ms also don’t require a lot of power to deliver a big sound. 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. Apart from that, the Tractrix Horn features these speakers to ensure better handling of high-frequency notes. And it also reduces any artificial reverb that is caused by the sound bounced off the walls. These speakers can deliver outstanding acoustics with crystal clear sound. Build Quality Klipsch R41M This implies that even with high power, your speakers aren’t going to suffer from damage or distortion. This is especially useful when it comes to preventing damage to speakers from electrical surges and outages. This is a side view. Can't figure out if this is some mixing of driver and its port of the sides singing along.Keep the speaker near the rear wall for extra bass. Horns are quite directive so that minimizes rear wall interference in the highs too. The Klipsch Reference R-41M is equipped with two satellite speakers, each with an RMS power of 50 W and a peak power of 200 W. The inclusion of multiple satellite speakers allows for a more immersive audio experience, filling the room with high-quality sound. I also know this is a dumb question but is it a passive pair or do I need to get an amplifier to power it? I’ve been looking at the specs and I’m confused because I’ve seen ads where it says it’s powered. Are the different versions of the R41m? 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
