I bought the predecessor to the RP-600m, the RP-160m for a good deal less than these. They’re almost identical in spec and build quality and sound just as dynamic. I recommend them if money is an issue.
I like the dynamics of the rp-160m more for movies. I think the JBLs are better for music but I think the balance between movies and music is better with the Klipsch. I'm sending my JBLs back eventually but will enjoy music while I have them.
I have this speaker since 2 weeks, it's crazy good for the money. like it more than ls50.
More guts than LS50
I heard these speakers at a store and sounded fantastic!
They sound great at home too:)
... I've recently purchased the RP 4000F floorstanders and I love them, what an exciting and amazing sound! ☺️👍👍👍👍 ...
I love the easy musicality of these speakers. They are a joy to listen to... I care more about clarity, dynamics, and warmth than compete neutrality. These sound great with almost anything you throw at them, whether a cheap AV receiver, or dedicated integrated amp. They look as beautiful as they sound. A winner!
I had KEF LS50meta's. Those are effing fussy and boring. Now I have way more fun with my Klipsch's for half the price. Neutral and uncolored all good and well, but everybody loves my Klipsch, while they found the KEF's just nice looking at best:)
I picked up the polk Lsim 703s for 450.00 on a freakish sale normally 1500.00 US new and they on a totally different level than my RP 160m, The bass on the LSim 703s is crazy !!! Very smooth and non fatiguing period , best bookshelf speaker i have owned .Thanks Thamar for review. I passed up on the 600m for the polks 703s 30 pounds each ! And beautiful well built cabinet my review of the Lsim coming out this weekend with the new Blue Zen by iFi :) Thanks again !
The Lsim are on a different level than the Klipsch..I owned the 705's and had to sell
them because I moved to a smaller place and I really miss them. They are great speakers.
@@genesis667 i have been really impressed with the 703s actually schocked me espically how smooth sounding ! I bet those 705s moved some serous air lol I bet Thamar would love them espically paired on his monster FET integrated Denon ITR 2000 he uses :) I have used 7 different amplifiers with the 703s and 2 different preamps and The brighter amps sound best to me .
@Sly foxxx Honesty, most likely the Sony AVR playing 2 channel music mode, won't sound all that good with the 703s , I'm about to review the IOTAVX SA3 Integrated amp And the upgradeable IOTAVX PA3 power-amp that combines together to create the IOTAVX STACK Basically an amp for each speaker thats been bridged , 😆 review drops DEC.7TH !
I went to the store to check out the 600m came back buying the 8000f. I guess I needed bigger base. 600m + subwoofer, perhaps also works.
I imagine it depends on what form factor best suits your room set up... Some people prefer floor standing, others like a more minimalist appearance with a hidden sub.
Klipsch really hits the jackpot with its new RP series speakers.
They finally fixed the ear bleeder issue. These new RP's sound great.
With the redesigned compression driver that relaxed the highs a bit, they pretty good for a pair of $500 speakers.
@@lhaus2333 Hence why Thabramar gave them the rating he did. It's unfortunate qhen some devout brand enthusiasts accuse him of being paid off or brand biased. The new RP's are GOOD speakers and don't warrant the outright bias.
@@wa2368 Klipsch lists in-room sensitivity instead of anechoic sensitivity. This is because some of Klipsch's heritage speakers are designed for specific placement in the listening room and that placement is completely incompatible with the AES testing guidelines. Does that hurt your feelings? Why do you care? In general, their speakers still more sensitive than the majority of speakers in their segment.
Just for your information, EVERY manufacturer evaluates sensitivity in a different way and many filter the pink noise they send to the speaker to help boost their specs. Welcome to the real world.
Indeed I cant stop listening to my 5000fs...oddly no one TH-cam is really talking about these value based and dynamic/energetic speakers
That was fascinating to see inside. Good to see they're built well inside and out..wow they are gorgeous.
I'm so happy with my Denton 80th's but these are high on the list to listen to, maybe they'll complement the Wharfedales. I've always been wary of the Klipsch treble but perhaps that is overstated.
I just subscribed because he doesn't put up garbage speakers for review
Glad to see the sensitivity mentioned. Its always a headache for flea watt users to wade through. Both publish 2.83v/m figures but nothing else about how theyve worked this out. 2.83v as pink noise? Wave tone? In anechoic? Etc etc etc. Put this side by side in the real world, like here, and you can see how consumers lose out on meaningful info.
This was why i used to buy a review mag back in the noughties specifically for their in house test and ratings that made the info consistent for real comparison.
Klipsch sensitivity is adtually an 'in room estimated' value. To compare them with properly anechoic tested speakers (basically all other big brands) they are about 5-6 dB less sensitive... As there is no real industry standard for sensitiviy testing it is not false advertising, but still rather misleading. In general the test is indeed done with pink noise as it is a realistic general spectrum and far less demanding for speakers than white noise. A better procedure is a calibrated frequency sweep, but this is more complex/expensive so only high-end manufacturers with dedicated facilities can do this. My RP600's are about as sensitive as my 91 dB/W Mission bookshelves... This is still well above average for bookshelves.
Why am i watching this? I have owned them about year :-) very good. I always owned NAD, Cyrus and Monitor Audio. My son inherited my old system. He’s very happy as you can imagine like any student would be.You’ll always find something better but, at twice the price! I use them in a 2:1 set up with the very excellent Yamaha integrated amp R-N803D at 100 watt output. I also have a Klipsch subwoofer for films only. I would not recommend a Klipsch subwoofer for an audiophile music experience unless the volume and gain are turned down to very low levels. I will probably upgrade to a REL. it’s all quite exciting sound. I agree that longer listening sessions may not be optimal with these speakers. It’s really quite an event to go to my listening room and fire the system up when the house is empty and Neighbors far away :-) Will I upgrade them? If these speakers are improved by Klipsch-YES! My son has his eyes on the RP-600M already
The rp-600m ii on sale now for $479. No dip in frequency range.
Great review the best I have heard so far. I hesitated between the RP600 and BRO3. It is very clear now. Thank You!!
Klipsch has always had great speakers. Everyone is just now catching on.
I have these speakers w/ the sub woofer and a Cambridge amp, Superb, premium sound.
These were delivered yesterday I payed$419 and they are amazing
Klipsch (and other horn loaded) speakers sound very lively, detailed, and exciting! I've always been a huge fan of properly engineered horn loaded speakers, and they are getting better and better! I've been enjoying my JBL Studio 530 speakers for years now. I wonder how the RP-600m speakers sound in comparison, especially the midrange and highs. Obviously, the bass is going to be superior in the RP-600m. Thank you, Tharbarmar, for a great audio channel! I've been away for a while, but i'm back, and looking forward to your content! Cheers!
I just discovered your channel recently and I want to say that I really enjoy the way your reviews and tutorials are made. Cheers!
This guy has great reviews. Got some great lines also.
They look larger than a typical bookshelf speaker. I will definitely be picking a pair of these up to add to my stable.
I have had these for maybe four or five months, now. They don't fit on any shelf that I have ever had. Also, they need to be away from walls. They are rear ported. They are definitely larger than other "book shelf" speakers that I have seen.
I use these for my bedroom on speaker stands. They sound great
I just got this speaker for 377$ at Amazon what a steal 😍
Same here!
From your reviews, It understand that Comparitively, JBL A130 Instrumental separation is better, and JBL A130 can give mini concert kind of feel. But JBL is bright compared to Klipsch. Hope I'm correct.
Hi Thomas,
Since you've reviewed both the Klipsch RP 600M and the JBL Studio 230's could you tell me the difference you noticed between the two speakers?
I own the JBL Studio 230's and was interested in seeing if you thought it would be an upgrade to move to the RP 600's.
Many thanks....
What would you pick 600m or denton 80th or diamond 225? Which one you prefer
600m for my music taste which is dubstep, reggaeton
I was considering these and went with the Q150 speakers. Not disappointed but I’d love to try these.
Thank for the option on these.
For cinema/games : POLK Reserve R200 our KLIPSCH RP600M?
R200 is my choice.
@@Tharbamar In the end, I bought 4 R200 for front and rear, along with the R400 as the central one, accompanied by a Klispch R-110SW Subwoofer and 2 Jamo IC 408 FG II for Dolby Atmos.
How do you see this set for cinema/series and games(PC) use?
In the forums they recommended the R100 as the best rear, but I was about to buy the FOCAL 906 Aria 5.0 and these have the same 4 speakers. It will be very exaggerated to put the R200 as rear, or it will be great. Thanks for your videos! I always give the Like because I like them a lot! You inform very well!
Excellent review I really really like you I think you are very honest and accurate I'm afraid that the speaker is going to be shoudy what that horn what do you think about the wharfedale diamond 225 I keep coming back to it
These are built for low price with low cost parts , not braced look at videos on how to improve them significantly
I agree with you on the crossover and the woofer, but if the end result sound is appealing to your ears, then i guess that is all that matters. I do enjoy Gr Research videos though 👍
There's no bracing inside there, though. Polyfil only really absorbs highs and mids depending on the thickness. These speakers have good qualities to them, but I sent them back because I didn't like them.
With some bracing would help clean up the bass response but still better build than many others.
One of the most important criteria for me is listening fatigue. I like a sound that I can listen to for hours/with all types of music. Unfortunately that's one advantage that's usually obtained with higher budget vs lower budget components. Of course there are exceptions but somehow I suspect that may not be what the RP600M were designed for. Am I wrong?
Mike Cees I didn’t get noticeable fatigued by listening to RP600M for hour or so.
On my experience, (with the Klipsch rp 160m) definitely fatiguing and ear piercing with some resources and certain music. I had svs ultra and kef ls50. Ended up returning the Klipsch. Since I heard of the new Klipsch series, I keep getting the same feedbacks from anywhere, that the new line is no longer fatiguing, but for me I think that is not my type of sound signatures since I compared my kef ls50 against the new rsl g25 and I'm completely gained over by them. I can listen all day the cg25's and they're fantastic like anything with music. For movies I have left and right fronts with a pair of kef R3 and the center is a RSL CG25 and sound really nice. The kef r3 is a little more neutral than my kef ls50 on the treble and has more presence. Hope that helps.
Really depends on the source material. The RP600 and it's brothers and sisters in the range are in that regard a big step up from all Klipsch that came before basically. For hour-long dedicated listening, you still might indeed want something friendlier on the ear, but for playing quietly all day long I'll have them over any B&W or KEF.
Thank you very much
Hi! Really great review! Should I get this plus an amp or kef ls50 meta?
Using these paired with an SVS SB-3000 sounds great. But curiosity has me wanting to try a pair of Ultra bookshelfs. I guess it never ends lol.
Minus4Plus6 you should upload a sound demo!!
I see you recently review the B&W 706, how does this compare to that, or you'd rather match it up with a different series?
Love your reviews! How do these 600 M fares as fronts for a 5.1.2 setup? Thanks.
The best review
Audition these at an audio store and was not impressed by it. I dunno but the 607 bnw sounded way more natural. I was ready to sell my 607 for these but after hearing them... well ill stick to my 607.
i am thinking about getting one of these two. What exactly was it that you did not like from the klipsch?
Dinh Duy Nguyen im not by any means an audiophile but the entire range sounds artificial to me. Example would be when i played some diana krall live in paris. When the piano hits, it sounds dull and not that engaging.
Dont get me wrong, its a great set of speakers but i think the 607 reproduces better sound. Though the klipsch has better bass.
How would you compare this against the svs ultra speakers? Great video
Always thanks for your review, Tharbamar. Could you please do a reiview for the new Wharfedale Evo series? Especially 3-way bookshelf 4.2 model.
Can you please review Triangle Borea BR03 also? Sean from Zero Fidelity gave them rave review calling them even better than Klipsch rp600m and also calling THE BEST speakers under a thousand bucks. I had finally settled on the rp600m but seems like I need to wait for more reviews.
I will do if I can have a sample, thanks
@@Tharbamar buy them with all the money you make on TH-cam. Then have a live TH-cam auction them off, you'll get more subscribers. Just a thought.
I‘m thinking if i should buy them and an amplifier marantz Pm6005. Do you think the marantz 6005 is strong enough for theses Klipsch RP 600M?
And thank you for this video and all of ur videos until now. Keep going Tharbamar!
Good review sir... How this will pair with smsl ao200mkii?
Would these be ok in a media wall? Or will the rear port be a deal breaker? If so, what would be a good alternative speaker? Looking to use with turntable and possibly tv.
I will only use front ported design for in wall usage, like older B&W 685 S2 or Focal speakers.
Very informative video for these very popular speaker. I am considering the front end to be the three amps you mentioned, but also considering the new Cambridge CXA61 OR CXA81.... but was wondering if that match would be too bright? Any thoughts?
I have not listened to newer Cambridge Amplifiers, Thanks
Tharbamar I can't see Dynaudio speakers reviews on your chanel. Why?
Yes Emit Evoke Special 40 etc
@@PRADIPTOCRJ or Emit M20, great speakers.
Great review. I was always going to get this speaker but this just nailed it home. Deciding what integrated amplifier to get is going to be the hard part.
How do they compare to jbl 530
I also want to know how they compare to the JBL 580s which are easier to come by. But yeah I would guess he prefers the studio 5s
Does this beat the JBL Studio 230s?

Yes but not 530s, I still love 530 although bass is a bit boomy with some music.
Yes I also want to know too RP600 vs JNL 530
Hi!!! would you recommend the RP600M, the B&W 607, KEF Q150 or Martin Logan Motion15? very good video!!! all those are priced similarly and I´m kinda lost. thanks!!!!
eddyklein B&W 608 more detail with forward highs, RP600M is overall more balanced sound with better bass, I can’t comment on other two because I have not had experience with them to make any comments, thanks
Could you compare them with B&W and Kef?
How much different or better are these then the rp-160m
Probably about 40% better.
@@Tharbamar I agree completely.
@@Tharbamar Would they also be better on a desk though, considering RP-160M had an angled baseplate.
A little too big for normal desk, may be you can try RP400M on desktop, thanks
I may be strange, but I actually purchased both and kept the RP-160m instead! I find the 600m a little muddy and congested and too much bass compared to the 160m which IMO is more airy! Don’t get me wrong, they’re very good and tamer in the horn than 160m BUT most people I know in U.K. are getting their hands on 160m because they are the sound of Klipsch horn sounding and to me is very enjoyable and more airy
How good will babies pair up these with Dual SBS SB2000 ?
I have a marantz nr 1608, 50 w per channel,and in thinking buy the klipsch rp 6000f cause has high sensitivity. The other option is kef q 550. Do you think its better option the klipsch cause the high sensitivity? Or maybe my marantz could move the kefs? What do you think? Thanks so much.
Really don't understand all the accolades these speakers are getting. I test drove a pair and was so unimpressed. I thought the overall sound was on the brash/harsh side. Acoustic instruments were very unnatural sounding. The low end was very lacking. And yes the sensitivity rating is a bit, uhhmmm, optimistic.
May be it's something to do with placement or associated components.
@@Tharbamar Don't think so, I move components around often and am pretty adept at set up and know the sound of my system very well. I drove them with a Musical Fidelity M3si and a vintage Fisher 400 tube receiver, so pretty different power supplies. Sources were Rega Planar 3 TT, streaming Tidal M, or AIff files from my Mac based digital system. I really just didn't care for these speakers.
If you had to choose your last speaker what would you choose, the Klipsch RP-600M or the
Buchardt S400 ?
How does this comparison make any sense? The Klipsch is a sub $500 speaker almost anywhere you purchase it and the Buchardt S400 is almost $2000. That is the equivalent of comparing a Toyota Corolla to BMW M series. Hardly a useful or fair comparison.
Tharbamar how would you compare the Klipsch RP-600M to the JBL Studio 230 ? Which one is better ? I've got a pair of JBL Studio 230s in my stereo setup and I'm plannig of purchasing a pair of Klipsch RP-600M s . Thanks .
Alexandre Ferraz For overall sound RP600M a bit better for me because 230 is more of V shape sound signature in my system but 230 sound stage is wider if I can recall, thanks
Klipsch Reference Premiere or Polk Audio Signature Series??
Klipsch definitely.
4 Rock & Roll Klipsh absolutely! If ur a jazz aficionado Polk
I auditioned Klipsch RP-8000F and the bass on 0dB was non existent. I had to turn the bass to +10dB to get some.
Now I want to hear the Polk Audio S60e.
Absolutely amazing sound from Polk Audio for the money. And this with only Yamaha RX-A770. So the Polks don't need much power to sound good.
th-cam.com/video/AqL9LlDEUYk/w-d-xo.html&t=
For you what the better speakers ?
Klipsch rpm 660 ?
Or Kef q350 ?
Or Bw 606 s2 ?
Or Bw 706 s2 ?
Or Bw 705 s2 ?
On Order chronologic
Thanks👍👍
If the price is concerned Q350 is best choice in this list, if not 705 S2, thanks
Tharbamar ok thanks Tharbamar my hesitation it is important for Kef q350 or Bw 705 s2 🤔🤔i buy a marantz sr 7015 and speakers ??? Kef Bw for 70% home cinéma 30 % hifi ? And you what speakers buying ? What opinion please?
Where are these still $549? The price has gone up on the rp line, everywhere that i see
Looks like Klipsch raised the price this month, all I can find is on ebay for lower than current price ebay.to/2r2rUCB
There are plenty of places still selling them for $550 I see. Just don't expect to find them at crutchfield for $550.
I want to get a pair of the 8000f, now but they are about $180 more per pair.
m Miller May be wait for Amazon because 3-4 weeks ago RP600M was selling at $439/pair on Amazon.
@@Tharbamar Good advice!
Anyone knows how they sound like against the 606? I like a bigger spacing between instruments. I get that that the Klipsch makes music sound fun.
606 is better for your preference.
Are they better than the RP 160m ??
You also reviewed the Polk Audio S15.
How the Klipsch 600M compare to the S15?
Skyline Polk S15 was ok but not a speaker that I would want for my music, I would go RP600M for my taste.

@@Tharbamar The only problem I have is that there is a BF deal going in my country this week for Wharfedale Diamond and they sell for 200$, whereas the RP600M are constantly 560$, that's more than double.

Hi there. Currently, i have kef ls50 and kef r300. Do you think this can compete with them? I’m using parasound A23 amolifier
Not that up to those speakers in overall sound quality.
Does this beat the JBL Studio 230s?
Yes but not 530s, I still love 530 although bass is a bit boomy with some music.
@@Tharbamar does the 530 do well with movies?

Hey there! Amp suggestions for these speakers?
People. Use tube amp
Everyone is talking about this speakers!!!!!!
Daxm! Looks like I'm going to have to get a pair and live with them for a while! Another set of speakers, lol?
The price of this speaker in Thailand is about $900. you think they still good for those money?
That’s very high for this speaker.
What? In Vietnam it is just USD 400
I've had the B&W CM series while I liked how they portrayed details and crystal clear highs the brightness was too much. Now I own Focal Aria 906 and I find them to be a well balanced speaker but they lack some of that sparkle in the top end. Do you think it would be worth downgrading from the Focal Aria 906 and settle down with the RP600m's seems like they are somewhere in between the Aria 906's and the B&W for a fraction of the price...
how good it sounds when listening at low volume?
av va I forgot to mention that, it was very good and still musical with good bass quality, thanks
Very Very good
good according to what ?
Will they perform well with my ADCOM GFA-545 MK2 ? I love your reviews !

How are these vs JBL 530?
JBL studio are very good ,
It depends what amplification you have
@@dednside5229 I got them in about a week ago and I do agree they are very good when using them for music. However I have the rp160m and they are much better for movies. I need that balance between the two so I'm sending the JBLs back.
@@Joshsmoove
Either of those choices for a
7.1 setup ... ?? Why -
Both of these in my opinion are choices for listening to music.
SET tube for the Klipsch,
SS for the JBL
I use Halfer with a tube buffer as seen in my JBL studio/Genelec video .
If your worried about movies get a
Martin Logan electrostat center ,
The big one .
The problem with Klipsch speakers, is that they sound like Klipsch speakers. Not the sound signiture I could live with.
You cannot generalize Klipsch speakers based on a few models that were indeed bright. Klipsch Reference and Heritage lines are far more refined.
You clearly have NOT listened to the new Klipsch RP line-up. That's or you prefer trebleless speakers that roll off at 10 kHz.
They are not even harsh anymore, not even close to the Klipsch of the old days, or their cheaper lines.
Totally agree. Bright or not, if you don't like certain "sound signature" that's completely normal and natural. Nothing to do with if some speaker sounds good or not. I didn't like the Klipsch signature either. I ended up liking (and owning) kef r3, the new line from RSL ( the CG25) and q acoustics. With all this hype is tempting to listen to the new Klipsch, though.
There is definitely room for improvement modifying that crossover. Watch this modification video.

How do they compare to magnepan lsr
I own Magnepans and I've never heard this Klipsch speaker, but I can tell you that the sound signature from a panel speaker and a bookshelf box speaker are way different. The Maggies will have a more transparent sound with a large soundstage and be more "accurate" but the Klipschs will have more deep bass. The Maggies will have a faster transient response and that translates to more clarity.
@@ghawk78 thanks I am looking at the Maggies really hard. Would my parasound a21 and p6 preamp be a good fit?
@@socool8860 Probably. As a rule of thumb, for Maggies you want the 4 ohm power rating to be double the 8 ohm power rating. Maggies like high current. I've never used Parasound but I've heard of some Maggie owners who use them and like them.
@@ghawk78 I am having a hard time trying to find dealers who ship them any suggestions
Maggie's and klipsch are complete different. The klipsch is more dynamic and bass. Maggie's have no bass, but the music is everywhere in the room.
They made in USA or China?
China.
Stereophile measured the sensitivity as 89.6db.
That's because Klipsch uses a different method of measuring sensitivity. They're still noticeably more efficient than most other speakers in its class.
They are definitely not 96dB ... was running them with a 10w amp and I did have to crank it up a bit. If it were truly 96dB then the 10w amp would not be breaking a sweat.
