The RP-500PM changes that. A matched amplifier per driver sits inside each cabinet, so a turntable, a TV and a phone are the whole system. Two-way, horn-loaded, Cerametallic, and sold as a stereo pair at Soundium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAxial Tractrix horn tweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e New high-density BMC horn, flush-mounted to the baffle for a wider off-axis sweet spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5.25 in Cerametallic woofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e A stiff ceramic-coated cone keeps bass tight instead of woolly in a compact cabinet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAn amplifier per driver:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each amp is matched to the driver it feeds, so there is no receiver and no speaker cable run.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in phono stage:\u003c\/strong\u003e A turntable plugs straight in, without a separate preamp in the chain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI ARC:\u003c\/strong\u003e One cable to the TV, and the TV remote takes over the volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubwoofer output:\u003c\/strong\u003e A dedicated line out for when the 5.25 in woofer runs out of room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe practical gain is box count. A Reference Premiere system used to mean speakers, an integrated amp or receiver, a phono stage and the cabling to join them. Here it is a pair of speakers, a power lead and whatever source you already own. The connection list is deliberately broad — HDMI ARC for the TV, phono for the deck, USB-C for the laptop, Bluetooth 5.3 for everything else — so the same pair can carry a living room or a desk without a rethink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-way powered monitors, sold per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-density axial Tractrix horn (BMC), flush-mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.25 in (133 mm) Cerametallic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in, matched to each driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDMI ARC, USB-C, optical, RCA line, phono, 3.5 mm aux, Bluetooth 5.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e Subwoofer out\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl:\u003c\/strong\u003e IR remote (volume, play\/pause, input) and Klipsch Connect app\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebony, textured wood grain with a floating cloth grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTV sound without a soundbar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA turntable and a shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA desk that should sound like a stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with: TVs over HDMI ARC, turntables via the built-in phono input, computers over USB-C, phones over Bluetooth 5.3, and Klipsch KS-28 speaker stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePros \u0026amp; Cons\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pros\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Reference Premiere horn and Cerametallic woofer without buying an amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Input list covers TV, turntable, laptop and phone in one box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ Subwoofer output keeps the low end upgradeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"cons\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ A 5.25 in woofer in a bookshelf cabinet — real depth wants the sub output\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ Klipsch has not published amplifier power, frequency response or weight figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e⚠️ One finish only (Ebony), where the passive RP models also offer walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePowered speakers usually ask you to trade the horn for the convenience.
