Herb Reichert reviewed the Klipsch Reference Premiere RP-600M II in August 2023 (Vol.46 No.8): The grandest perk of being a reviewer is when sniffing through the grass leads me to a high-performance product capable of wide-ranging appeal at a price point that shouldn't scare anyone.

It was a cold March-in-Brooklyn morning. Clouds had been shedding wintery mix since daybreak. By 9am, birds were flash-mobbing my window, demanding suet.

The sounds in my room were sensuous and mesmerizing, and I needed to float in their mysterious energy as long as I could.
