Klipsch speakers are known for being able to produce a lot of sound for their size, and the R-41M are no exception. The 4 inch spun-copper IMG woofer and 1” Aluminum LTS tweeter (mated to a 90 x 90 square Tractrix® Horn) can deliver a whooping 50W of continuous power handling and 200W of peak power handling. The 90dB sensitivity @ 1 watt means the R-41Ms also don’t require a lot of power to deliver a big sound. Measurements that you are about to see were performed using the Klippel Near-field Scanner (NFS). This is a robotic measurement system that analyzes the speaker all around and is able (using advanced mathematics and dual scan) to subtract room reflections. It also measures the speaker at close distance ("near-field") which sharply reduces the impact of room noise. Both of these factors enable testing in ordinary rooms yet results that can be more accurate than anechoic chamber. In a nutshell, the measurements show the actual sound coming out of the speaker independent of the room. All measurements are reference to tweeter axis with the grill removed.A magnetic grille covers the front of the speaker. The grille is flexible and removable. It is also strong, so you don’t need to worry about its durability too much. compared to a lower max handling speaker. Loudness or the sound level is also impacted by parameters
