Short answer: the JTR Speakers Noesis 210HT if sound quality matters most, the Klipsch RP-600M II if price matters most. The JTR Speakers Noesis 210HT ranks #44 of 223 bookshelf speakers, rated 4.3/5, at $3,998. The Klipsch RP-600M II ranks #124, rated 3.7/5, at $449.99, $3,548.01 cheaper.
The Klipsch RP-600M II is the more accurate choice. Bookshelf speakers with a large horn tweeter, wide soundstage, high efficiency and bi-amp ready terminals. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.64 against 2.66 for the JTR Speakers Noesis 210HT. The tradeoff: On-axis, the treble runs notably hot (even hotter than the original Klipsch RP-600M in some respects) and needs about 20° of toe-out or the grille installed to sound balanced.
The JTR Speakers Noesis 210HT is the better-sounding option. A very high output home theater speaker with dual 10 inch woofers and a coaxial horn, easy to drive and built for reference level movies. The catch: Erin measured F3 at 76Hz and F10 at 43Hz, so the 210HT is designed to hand bass duties to subwoofers rather than operate full-range.
Buy the Klipsch RP-600M II when the price outweighs sound quality for you, and the JTR Speakers Noesis 210HT when sound quality outweighs the price instead.
