The first product we will be looking at is the Klipsch R-41M.
Now we will have look at an alternative, the Micca MB42 Bookshelf Speakers.
We have praised the reference series from Klipsch for many of its models in the past, but we think the R-41M is a great example of a great quality pair of bookshelf speakers without a heavy investment.
This passive pair are no stranger to our eyes either, as we have included them in previous bookshelf speaker reviews. We are wholeheartedly won over by them, they tick many essential boxes for buying on a lower budget and feature many design implementations from Miccas higher end lines. They have a reasonable a power handling of 75 watts each which is suitably loud ore the majority without too much energy consumption.

WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
The reference series is, hands down, forcing its competitors to kick it up a notch they are one of the most powerful, punchy pairs in their class. |
It is very impressive that they manage to incorporate some very high quality components despite the low retail price. |
