Klipsch R-40PM powered bookshelf speakers 240W Bluetooth

The Klipsch R-40PM powered bookshelf speakers are built to deliver rich, detailed audio with minimal fuss. Each pair includes a built‑in amplifier, so you can connect directly to phones, computers, TVs or turntables without a separate receiver. With up to 240 watts of peak output and Klipsch’s signature horn design, they fill rooms with clear highs and strong midrange even at higher volumes.

Stream music wirelessly through Bluetooth when you want convenience, or use the wide selection of wired inputs for TV, PC, or vinyl. A phono pre‑amp, optical digital input, analog RCA and USB cover most sources right out of the box. The design also includes a sub out line if you want to add a powered subwoofer later for deeper bass, giving you room to grow your system.

The speakers use a Tractrix horn paired with spun‑copper TCP woofers. This combination creates a wider soundstage and accurate, warm audio that still remains compact enough for shelves or desks. A dynamic bass EQ helps the speaker produce satisfying low end without needing a sub, although adding one is optional. The cabinet is compact and discreet, and the magnetic grille keeps the look sleek in any space.

Review and user sentiment confirm the strong value and balanced sound. AVForums measured clear, vibrant highs and rich mids, noting good overall value, with only minor tradeoffs like no Wi‑Fi or HDMI ARC.
