Our take on the Klipsch R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speaker with Bluetooth

The Klipsch R-40PM is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with a built-in amplifier, so no separate receiver is needed. A 90° x 90° Tractrix horn and spun-copper TCP woofers give the bright, dynamic Klipsch sound, and Bluetooth plus optical, RCA, USB and a phono pre-amp cover TVs, turntables and phones. A sub-out and dynamic bass EQ let you add low end later. They suit small rooms and desks where a full hi-fi stack won't fit, though the horn treble is not for everyone.

What reviewers say

Owners of Klipsch powered speakers generally praise the lively, detailed sound and the wide input selection for the size. The most common complaint is the bright, forward treble from the horn, which some find tiring over long sessions.

About the Klipsch R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speaker with Bluetooth

The Klipsch R-40PM is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with a 4-inch woofer and 240W of power. Built-in amplification means no external audio video receiver is needed. The compact size fits on a bookshelf, computer desk, gaming rig or home entertainment center.

Each speaker uses a 90° x 90° Tractrix horn, which gives a wider soundstage and keeps sound clear at high volumes. The woofers are spun-copper TCP. The custom-engineered cabinet has extra depth for warmer, more impactful bass. Dynamic bass EQ delivers bass without a subwoofer, and a sub-out line is available to add one.

The speakers connect over Bluetooth wireless, a phono pre-amp, digital optical, analog RCA or USB. A low-profile magnetic grille gives a black exterior or a copper look. Output reaches up to 100dB.

Questions and answers

Do I need an amplifier or receiver?
No. The R-40PM has built-in amplification, so you connect sources directly. One speaker houses the electronics and powers the other.
Can I connect a turntable?
Yes. There is a built-in phono pre-amp, so a turntable with a moving-magnet cartridge plugs straight in.
Can I add a subwoofer?
Yes. A sub-out line lets you add a powered subwoofer for deeper bass.
How do they connect to a TV?
Use the digital optical input for a TV, or analog RCA if your TV only has those outputs.
How do they compare with the Klipsch R-41PM?
The R-40PM uses a 4-inch woofer in a deeper cabinet; the R-41PM steps up to a larger woofer for more output and low end. Both share the horn tweeter and input set.
What is in the box?
The pair of speakers, a power cord and a speaker cable linking the two cabinets. Check the listing for the remote and any accessories included.
