Product description
The larger powered Reference, and the one worth the step up: 60 W a channel into a 133 mm woofer reaches 55 Hz, with Klipsch quoting 44 Hz once its dynamic bass EQ is working. Phono with a ground post, Bluetooth, optical, USB, a 3.5 mm jack and a sub out, so it replaces an amplifier outright. 45 mm deeper than the passive R-50M, and sold as a pair — one active, one passive.
