    I like the bass response from the Audioengine A5+ but love the High Crispy Clarity of the Klipsch R-51pm

    Having both of this for a while, I would say Audioengines are the complete sounding speakers..... However, Klipsch with it's horn tweeters offer a sound that makes them unique... A sound more for Movies since is very open, wide and a very reference / true to it's source sound.

    Klipsch has more texture, clarity, and space. Audioengine sounds fine, but more compressed or 'canned'. Maybe more modern actually, but I like the Klipsch.

  • @TheMihaicalinescu
    @TheMihaicalinescu 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    A5+ ! But it’s about preference! The A5+ were a little more heavy on the base, klipsch were focused on the mid-treble. As I was saying: preference! Both have a great mid-treble sound! I, personally, love the sound of Audioengine more. That’s my ear! 😀 and hey… we are talking not about external pre-amps and amps!

  • @HoHkennels
    @HoHkennels 4 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    Klipsch overall sounds better, much more clarity. Audio engines have more bass. But it's not a clean bass. I'll take the clarity of the klipsch and add a sub.

    I've owned a set of A5+ speakers, but I prefer the sound of Klipsch R15PM which I now own. I'm guessing the R15PM doesn't sound much different than the R51PM. The A5+ sounds full and is easy on the ears but the Klipsch is clearer and reveals more of the detail in the music. I'm using a DacMagic 200m DAC for them.

    I'm in the market for some new speakers and I believe this has helped me decide on which one I'm buying. I enjoyed both, but the Klipsch sound is more to my liking, really clean mid-treble, Klipsch looks better, and better priced at the moment.

  • @waldoyew4247
    @waldoyew4247 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    To me it’s personal preference both sound great but to me klipsch sounds more vibrant with sparkle while the a5+ retains detail with more depth. A simple way of putting it the klipsch sounds more open than the a5+:)

  • @vivianvaldi7871
    @vivianvaldi7871 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    They both lack bass but the K even more than A, and K even more sub midrange than A (500-3KH).
    Less fatigue with A with that set up, for sure.
    Methodology is very good & trustful in that test.

    the audioengine is clearer... however... the klipsch makes you feel like you're there in person with the music... there's more higher end clarity with the audioengine but it almost oblierates the lower and midranges while the klipsch you can differentiate between the high middle and end ranges but the bass end may be a little muddy .... but really they sound comparable to each other... for bass enthusiasts you would need to pair the audioengine with a subwoofer. Anyways your channel is amazing.. thank you for these comparisons as they are more helpful than the other sites where people just keep talking and talking without no sound demo

I discovered that amplifiers that are built after 1990 fits my bill. So i bought a sansui au-alpha 999 dg and a pair of hans g hennel summit typ250 from an old german electronic shop. Sounds almost good but not exactly great. So i bought a pair of polk audio monitor 4.5. pretty good but not the best so Im still in search for a new pair of speakers, that may sound right.

    I ended up buying the Klipsch R-41PM and am quite happy. It was a toss up between that and the Kanto YU4 (also sounded excellent in person). I could not find the audio engine anywhere that I could listen to in person. Having tried buying on reviews (and returning twice) alone prior to going out. Covid made that difficult for a while.

      @2Guapo 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the klipsch r-15pm, the better looking yet similar sounding r-51pm. Has good mid range, and best in class highs, though this is due to their proprietary horn technology. While the horn is responsible for the great highs, and though I can't tell the difference, I would rather have a traditional tweeter for better response.
      I then demoed an audio engine a2+ and I couldn't believe how much bass that tiny thing was pumping out at that size. Bought, replaced the klipsch, and the smaller a2s has been my main speaker ever since.
      Undecided of what to do with the klipsch now. I know it sounds better by about 20% than the a2, but the a2 is 1/4th the size.
      When ur friends hear the klipsch, they be like "nice speakers". When they hear the a2s, they be like "damn, that tiny thing makes that big sound?".
      I like bass, so that's why a2 wins out. Their specs r roughly the same with lows going down to 65hz, but again, the a2s r a quarter of the size, and let's not forget more than half the price.
      I know what I said goes against convention, but living in small apartments with neighbors on both sides of the wall, I get more enjoyment from the Audioengine.
      Paired with the almost unnecessary Svs Sb-1000, and it's all I could ask for in a 2.1 system.
