I bought the Nines. They're just so fucking beautiful. I added dual SVS SB-3000 subs and they really deliver. Great for the price.
I tried both and went for the JBL's, imho they are simply in another league for sound quality.
I like the sound of the JBL's. Much smoother sound overall
I'd do a blind comparison, with everything being equal to make any kind of statement on these.
I've heard several reviews on the Klipsch being very positive, and like someone else mentioned, these aren't really in the same price range, I would hope the JBL's sound better considering the cost increase.
I just picked up a pair of JBL 590 I’ve always been a JBL guy 😊
I’ve had a pair of 590s for over 7 years - fairly neutral, good dynamics. For the price, they’re excellent
Absolutely.
I have the 7,8 and 590's. At the time they were the bang for buck on sale hands down.
Nice video but kinda pointless. It's like comparing a Mazda Miata to a Porsche 911. Both great cars but not really a fair comparison. JBL's do have the same driver and tweeter size but they pump out almost 3 times the watts per channel and cost almost 3 times as much. It's like asking if someone would rather live in a $200K house or a $600k house. Gee, let me think about it.
At $4500, the 4329P makes no sense. A pair of JBL LSR708Ps come in cheaper, and comes with the added benefit of having speaker processing built in. Yeah it doesn't come with a DAC or Bluetooth, but if youre buying a speaker of this caliber, you should not be using bluetooth.
Nonsense
@@beesting6135 What is nonsense? The LSR708Ps being better for the money or using Bluetooth? I stand by the LSR708Ps being a better deal, but I am not married to the idea of not using Bluetooth. I use it all the time, but it is a convenience thing. It is an audio transport full of trade-offs.
Gotta admit - I personally would pay the upcharge for the JBL / much more power and authentic retro styling.
Not a word mentioned about how they sound?
It would have been helpful if you had said something about measurements and listened to them. Given their pedigree, I’d expect the JBL to have a more flat frequency response and better internals with the Klipsch likely more dynamic and with a better quality veneer. Almost certainly this JBL is a better engineered, higher quality speaker. But Klipsch is known for having a raw, forward sound some find appealing.
Well one is a studio monitor aka the jbl and the klipsch is a 2 channel hometheater/music speaker the 9s actually measures pretty flat tho both are built like a tank
I was waiting on your guys opinion and which you liked best, I had the nines and but never heard the jbls, love the nines though. By the way they do have stands for those, their called ks24 stands, they bolt into the bottom of the nines and sevens and will fit rp-600m so if I remember right.
Still have my L166 from 1979....And Sansui 8080db
At the very high end, (Klipshorns-Everest) Klipsch makes the best cabinets, and JBL makes the best speakers.
It's a shame that in the great era, Paul Walker Klipsch didn't use these beautiful speakers to create his great loudspeakers ! 😉
Jbl are better speakers dollar for dollar
@@jeremywhittler8591 Klipshorns are the best way to reproduce music just like at the show
@@jeremywhittler8591 The holy grail is JBL speakers in Klipshorns cabinets ! 😁

@@chanslorvalorum6905 Take a look at the bass horn cabinet of a Klipshorn.
No JBL has this level of engineering !
I like the amp in JBL , i wish both would make bigger stand mount powered speakers , like with 10 inch drivers and 100 watt for horns and say a 200 watts for drivers
They do the L100’s etc etc
I bought the Klipch Fours (R41PMs) open box for $175. Great connectivity and ability to control sub. Great for gaming but not music.
The JBL’s are “active”, and uses electronic crossovers/dsp. There is no passive crossover. Amplifier modules are connected directly to the drivers. Each speaker has its own amplifiers. Klipsch uses passive networks and the second speaker is slaved off of the first, which powers both speakers. This largely explains the big price difference.
And better quality with DSP. Converting analog signal to digital and back makes little sense if speaker don't have advanced DSP doing tricks we could only dream of a decade ago. I wonder how many people have proper room for speakers so big, probably not that many which makes troubles with mid field speakers of this type needing certain distance to develop bass, stereo imaging and so on.
Being that I'm a fan of both brands, this is a tough decision.
I'm still happy with my 80's to 90's stereo. Yeah, I said it: my stereo.
That said, I have a HD wireless headset that sounds far better than any speakers in a room. Controlled environment, my ears only. Technology moves forward 🤓 I'm 63 and have been considering selling it all. Two receivers, Pioneer from 1980, Carver from 1990's. Plus direct drive turntable and Sony cassette tape deck with Dolby S.
Plus, speakers shouldn't look like a computer with all the digital ins and outs.
Warfedale Linton stands work for Klipsch 9’s, close, but not perfect
Esperaba tener una prueba de sonido. Tengo los r51-pm + sub Klipsch 100sw, el sonido es bueno aunque en algunas canciones se pierden instrumentos si lo comparo con monitores como blon bl03 o incluso Sony tws, hay detalles que mi r51-pm no los reproduce. He pensado en ir por kef o Wharfedale para ver si encuentro eso que quiero pero falta el dac y el amplificador adecuado
Acabo de comprar el R51PM aún no le e puesto el sub. Pero me intriga lo que dices sobre la pérdida de sonido en ciertas canciones. Me prodrias mencionar algunas para poder comprobar lo mismo? Gracias
How many users have big enough treated rooms to get max out of this mid field monitors, in my experiences not many which make them sound strange due to all sorts of reflections, "underdeveloped" bass when too close, stereo imaging is also impaired. Smaller pro audio near field monitors like Adam Audio go from around 500eur per pair and are a lot less sensitive to room acoustics. Adam Audio was mentioned because they probably offer a lot more than some more expensive companies, ribbon twitters make sound a bit more hi-fi but still precise considering their price point.
What music sample are you using? Where can I get this?!
I have the Kanto Tuk's as my computer speakers along with the matching subwoofer.....was debating whether or not to move the system to the TV and use for movies etc.....do you think that set up is enough for a 12 x 15 ft room ? or would it be better to get the fives or the sevens or the nines for my TV speakers and add a 12 inch sub ? ANYONE can respond....great video by the way....thx....cheers from Canada
My vote goes for the Nine's I've heard them both just not side by side. But as I remember them I like the Tonality of the Klipsch. Also the size not just the $. Now I haven't heard the Tucks by Kanto I like the size of the K's and Kanto's better. I could live easily with the Fives.If I didn't have 3 Vintage Receivers. Or the 7's. Size wise not just sound wise the 5's are more than enough for my listening space and could be too much actually as it is small.
Many thanks for this review and intro to these speakers
Waiting for the JBL fan boys to come out of the woodwork.......
One look at the price difference shows they really shouldn't be compared. When one product costs over 2 times, what the other does it becomes apples to oranges
Here's the best of both worlds (Not really, but whatever...) I Use two Shure SM 58's on my Klipsch stereo speaker Then run the mics Through a Yamaha mixing board and into a pair of Crown powered JBL PA speaker. And I can get that set up loud enough to play my drums to.
I’m a fan of both brands. But the price of either one is out of my reach. Well, not willing to spend that much.
Don't spend too much ❤ 👍
Wait 20w per tweeter? is super week for powered speakers
It’s a high sensitivity compression driver that only has to do higher frequencies. You’ll never even use 5 of those watts.
Jbl is quality, even the cheaper lines, klipsch is overall bad quality amd always uses the cheapest of the cheapest parts
Doesn’t the JB have separate amps?
Sticking with my 4311's
sending love and peace to everyone...
I don't like powered speakers. The Class-D amps distort in a very not pleasing way.
thanks for the video but you really didn't say about which one is better
Never had powered speakers. Question. Can the rca inputs be used to make the speakers act like a power amp/int amp? So the outputs of a preamp into the NInes with all your sources connected to the preamp? Or your source such as a tube dac to the input on the back of the Nines? I get the idea of downsizing and simplifying the system, but i wouldn't want to be stuck with the dac built into the units and i would like the opportunity to add a tube preamp/dac if i wanted.
Sure could
No brainer, KLIPSCH loudspeakers are legitimate, loud, nice to look at, hook it up with subwoofer to me KLIPSCH are the best.
whats the sound comparison? are you going to put up a kind of review video without a review?
Just glad the 9s don’t have that gross copper look
I have had both JBL and Klipsch, I like the sound of JBL better, not a very good fan of horn type tweeter sound of Klisch.
Have not had that problem for some time with the Klipsch speakers.
Tough decision
The price difference is astronomical tho not really a fair comparison
JBL's also come in white.
Nice review.
I've heard The Nines have a lot of cabinet resonance which makes movie dialog somewhat unintelligible. I'm demoing both The Nines & The Sevens soon to find out. If so, I'm guessing The Sevens with a sub would be my pick. Hopefully a 'Nines Mk-2 will have better bracing. We also need the black variant's grill to be an option for the walnut finish variant. Not a fan of that cream colour grill.
Those jbl speakers just don't look good at all plus i think klipsch overall seems to be a better quality product.
Klipsch and SVS is waaaaaay better than jbl will ever be.
Thats my opinion or maybe its just a fact
What was the point of this video?
The JBLs are simply more serious speakers, if you can manage the cost. Professional connectivity. Technology directly lifted from their pro product range. And Harman International has the most sophisticated and experienced R&D department in the business. In fact, if budget is constrained, I'd get the JBL 708P Reference Monitors which can be found for $1500 each.
Nice buatifull Speakers
You are comparing a $1500 pair of speakers against a pair of $4500 speakers? How is this even a comparison or a "vs" type video? This is farily pointless and offers nothing other than a review of each speaker set rather than which is bettter....
pale in comparison to the power of LS50W
Sorry but this video is bad. You do a video about audio and don’t discuss the audio? Just the spec sheet with some B roll…oof.
I have not hear these but own products from both brands and JBL is always better sounding… always cleaner, flatter, more dynamic but cost much more.
I demoed the Cornwall IV several times on McIntosh gear (I won Mac gear) and then bought the JBL 4367. The JBL is on another level. Cleaner, flatter, more bass detail, quality in the highs beyond anything I have heard (my other speaker is the Revel 228be) soundstage is more stable as Klispch soundstage shifts width with frequency. The Cornwall is a good speaker and the 4367 is an endgame speaker. Now it is more than twice the price…
I would imagine that comparison translates to these but since we just get spec sheets and B roll we may never know. …
I will 100% disagree as the 4367 are far over double the price! It's not even close to a fair comparison.
@@scottyo64 you do realize the Klispch Nines in this video are $1500 a pair and the 4329p is $4500? The Nine are 33% the cost of the JBL. Where the Cornwall IV is $6600 vs $16500 for the JBL which is 40% so actually the Cornwall and 4367 is more comparable in price.
I got my 4367 off tue back of a truck new in the box for $8250 for the pair.
JBL is just better it just cost more. It combines the good parts of the Klispch and add “audiophile” refinement.
@@JamesWilliams-gf8gmshould i buy Heresy IV or 4349?
@@denissssss8579 I have never heard the 4349 so I can’t comment on it. I did demo the heresy iv and thought it was pretty bad. It has zero bass and needs subs in a bad way. It sounded bright and boxy…. Some people seem to like it.
I think you would need to compare the forte to the 4349. The 4367 is pretty amazing and I would assume some of that trickles down into the 4349 as the drivers are similar. Darko has a video comparing the two. For me JBL is alway a class above Klispch but you pay for it, really comes down to cost.
Not a review--waste of time.
Klipsch is trash
Oh man ..how much I like your vids!!!
