Which should you choose?
Klipsch R-41PM is ahead, but only on 1 of the measured areas, and it costs about 46% more. That is a lot of money for a narrow margin on paper - Audioengine A2+ Wireless looks like the sensible buy unless something else about the Klipsch R-41PM appeals to you. If a subwoofer is in your plans, the bass gap largely stops mattering - you would be crossing over above 76Hz anyway, so judge these on the other rows instead. In a large or open-plan room, Klipsch R-41PM has the cabinet volume to fill it more easily; in a small room, near a wall or at desk distance, Audioengine A2+ Wireless is the easier speaker to get right.
And remember what a spec sheet cannot show: how each looks in your room and whether the finish suits it, what dealer support and warranty are like where you live, and how they actually sound to you. If you can hear them first - ideally with your own music - that will tell you more than any number above.
