Our take on the Klipsch R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Built-in Phono Stage

The R-40PM is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with 70W total amplification and a built-in phono stage, so a turntable plugs straight in without a separate preamp. Each cabinet pairs a 1-inch aluminum LTS tweeter on a 90° x 90° Tractrix horn with a 4-inch woofer in a bass-reflex box, rated 60Hz–20kHz with 52Hz dynamic bass extension. Inputs cover phono/line, Bluetooth, USB for a computer, optical for a TV and a 3.5mm jack, plus a subwoofer output and an included remote. It suits desks and small rooms where a full separates system is overkill; against larger powered monitors it gives up low-end weight and loudness, and the horn tweeter's forward treble divides listeners.

About the Klipsch R-40PM Powered Bookshelf Speakers with Built-in Phono Stage

The Klipsch R-40PM is a pair of powered bookshelf speakers with amplification and a phono preamp built in. They are sized for a desk, a bookshelf or a smaller room.

The right speaker is the active unit and holds the amplification for both channels. The left speaker connects to it with the supplied wire. The phono input has a Phono/Line switch and a ground screw terminal, so a moving-magnet turntable connects directly with no separate phono stage or amplifier. Set the switch to Line to use any line-level source.

A 1" aluminum LTS tweeter sits in a 90° x 90° square Tractrix horn. The woofer is spun-copper thermoformed crystal polymer (TCP). The cabinet is bass-reflex with a rear-firing port, so leave some clearance behind the speakers. Dynamic Bass EQ lifts the low end at lower volumes. A low-profile magnetic grille lets you run them covered or with the copper woofer showing.
