To my ears the boom-tizzz is more curve shaped. This speaker has the middle midrange (250-1000Hz) at the right level.
The dip in the presence region is preposterously gargantuan, though...
Is that like showing signs of life [e.g., fogging up a mirror held under its nostrils] -- or signs of intelligence?The tweeter of the RP-600M shows signs of careful engineering.
always was, AFAIK.At this point I'm convinced the "Klipsch sound" is intentional.
Is the phase curve normal? Never seen it before, though to be fair I haven't seen many.
Something weird going on...

Just to confirm I understand this (at least a bit) one could use a miniDSP 2x4 (or 4 channels of a DSP-408), have a 4-channel amp (such as 2 RX-596), add a pair of terminals to each speaker, remove completely the existing analog crossover, wire each woofer and tweeter to their own pair of terminals and amplifier (resistor in series with a tweeter lead? Needed - or not?) - and accomplish the same thing.Inevitably, GR-Research has crossover mods that greatly improve the frequency response:
I'm quite curious about doing something like this as well.Just to confirm I understand this (at least a bit) one could use a miniDSP 2x4 (or 4 channels of a DSP-408), have a 4-channel amp (such as 2 RX-596), add a pair of terminals to each speaker, remove completely the existing analog crossover, wire each woofer and tweeter to their own pair of terminals and amplifier (resistor in series with a tweeter lead?

If true, advantages and disadvantages?
Yes you could do this (no resistors needed) and then with the help of REW and a USB mic you could make measurements and design and test your own active crossovers, balance driver levels, and even adjust the phase. Based on this review it looks like the enclosure and drivers and wave guides are decent and you should be able to come up with a well preforming active bi-amped speaker which would out perform the stock version of this speaker by a wide margin. That is the advantage. The disadvantages are cost of mini DSP and Mic and there would be a steep learning curve to in essence become a speaker designer. I would highly recommend it as you would learn a lot and you could endlessly try out new ideas... depending on if you like DIY or not that is either an advantage or disadvantage.Just to confirm I understand this (at least a bit) one could use a miniDSP 2x4 (or 4 channels of a DSP-408), have a 4-channel amp (such as 2 RX-596), add a pair of terminals to each speaker, remove completely the existing analog crossover, wire each woofer and tweeter to their own pair of terminals and amplifier (resistor in series with a tweeter lead?

I'm a bit unsure how Audioholics measured them to be 'neutral'.
Most of the reviews that I have read/viewed mention that these speakers present a sound stage seemingly originating from up-close, as opposed to coming from the actual distance of the speakers, or even behind the speakers. Is this a thing (is this something that can be read from the measurements) or is this more about room and positioning or just subjective-review quackery?
The floorstander version that I own, the RP-8000F, measures more or less the same with the same extreme dip. After having owned them for a while, I'm a bit unsure how Audioholics measured them to be 'neutral'. I honestly didn't really dislike the sound though, personal tastes I guess.
