FULL STORY ======================================================================The biggest bookshelf speakers in Klipsch's Reference range The same woofer as
the R-605FA floorstanders 425.00 in the UK, $399 in US

We've got good news for UK Klipsch fans and slightly less good news for US ones: the maker of fine audio equipment has brought its latest pair of bookshelf speakers to the UK and Europe too. But in the US they're still a Costco exclusive, for the time being at least.

The new Klipsch R-60M are the latest addition to the firm's Reference speaker range, and they have the same 6.5-inch spun-copper TCP woofer as the floorstanding R-605FA speaker. They also have the Reference range's tweeter and edge to edge square "Tractrix" horn, which Klipsch says delivers "an impressive sound across the frequency spectrum." Subhead

The new R-60M have a 3/4 MDF cabinet with a new bracing design that's
designed to reduce vibration, remove unwanted audio coloration, and deliver better accuracy, and the cabinet is finished in a scratch-resistant wood
grain vinyl with hidden fasteners and low profile magnetic grilles.

These are the largest bookshelves in the Reference range, and they have a frequency range of 50Hz to 21kHz and up to 85W continuous and 340W peak power handling. They're 8 ohm compatible and come in at 400m x 203mm x 336mm with a weight of 7.75kg. You can have any color you like as long as it's black.

The Klipsch R-60M speakers have a recommended selling price of 425 in the UK, compared to 399 in the US and 449.00 in Europe. At this price, they're very competitive among the best stereo speakers with an audiophile edge perhaps soon, they'll be available in the US in stores where could demo them You
