Klipsch is known for needing a good break in period. Some decent or higher end do some breaking in before you get them, klipsch doesnt which helps keep their prices lower. Id bet if you broke them in consistently for a week or two, youd feel slightly different. Like a 4 without a sub and 4.3-4.5 with.
Thanks for the great, honest and educated review! You’ve made me change my mind. Just another couple of great options… Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 (incredible build quality) or if more bass, the Monitor Audio Bronze 100 will go below 45 and shake your windows! Thanks again !
Admire your high expectations and honest review, 'other speakers' competing with these will you be uploading reviews of them? Including sound demo was just great, in your future reviews also do please include sound demos or even better if you could just upload a dedicated video of sound demos and comparisons. cheers!
Like guitar amps kept usually on the floor for fullness. I run a 100 watt Sony cranked in my basement lots of fullness and i got them lastweek lol. I use my Amazon music with EQ. Jam with my drums!
I've always found Klipsch bookshelves to struggle with bass. And sometimes lack some midrange. Integration, up to now, has also been a problem for them. They are toning that horn down, which is a good thing, though. In this price range, one has to also consider A Jones Elac Debut B6series.
Interesting... we all hear differently. I currently have the KEF Q150 and the R50M, both on a 15 day trial from Best Buy. I'm struggling with this decision. The R50M are holding their own in my book against the Q150. The R50M are a bit brighter - but this may be my old Sony amp - which gets upgraded next. Maybe I should have upgraded the Amp first! - but I don' t have to upgrade the Amp right away, and I needed new speakers going from a very old Sony 5.1 system with little (2" maybe) speakers . Anyway, I would not say the Q150's are 'much better' than the R50M's.. and in my book, they are very close. Both at basically $300 now. Enjoy your videos.
A review of 4.9 on Amazon seems to be fairly typical for anything theses days. Even on things that don’t work when delivered to your door. I would hazard that the typical purchaser of a speaker would be as “critical” of a consumer of speakers as they would be when purchasing a set of kitchen knives or new curtains for the living room. They are not listening to the subtlety of the speakers like a reviewer or audio enthusiast might be. If the speakers arrived at the house and looked good and didn’t make any highly objectionable noises I think they would get a rating of 5 from most shoppers. On the other hand I find your review of the speakers to be based on actually listening, discussing various types of music, room setting, etc. Keep up the good work. Your reviews are worth what you had to say about the speakers and not some Amazon number.
Thanks for the review. It provides a solid expectation on these speakers. As far as desktop speakers, I currently have a pair of AudioEngine and would like to know your take on that brand as well.
Tbh 60 hz is plenty enough extension when I’m tryna play my games at 2 am without the subs turned on so I don’t disturb anyone sleeping. At that time I shouldn't be reaching anywhere near 40 Hz lol.
what about the wharfedale diamond 12.2? Are they better than the triangle br03? Thinking of getting the br03, current own the diamond 12.2 and polk r200 for nearfield/computer setup.
Thanks a lot for your review. What do you think about this Klipsch if I could got by 200€/200$? I like a lot jazz, and classic music, but also rock from 70s and grunge, garage, punk, hard rock and metal... so? I'm afraid I wouldn't like maybe... They are so pretty and with this price in Europe is a piece of cake. I have actually an Edifier 1700BT and I like so much, so it will be muy first passive speaker, I mean my ears are not so sharp as yours. What do you think about? Thanks in advance!!!
You'll like these speakers. They aren't terrible they just have zero bass and a boosted mid range so they won't work for every genre but the ones you listed it'll be fine for
@@Kpaceguy Thanks a lot!! That reassures me! I will let you know how it works, with rock, jazz classic and heavy. I don't like at all R&B, rap, trap, reagueton and so on, so it seems it will be ok!!🤣
What? Amps are you using for the desktops... I picked up a fosi but not to happy with it a pitch sound with raising the volume. Or. I hoping you are using a 2.1 amp.
Reference speakers are typically designed to have a flat frequency response. This means they aim to reproduce audio as accurately as possible without adding any coloration or emphasis to particular frequencies...know your gear. Enough with the sounds better blah blah blah.
3:38 on sounds like that scene in Kindergarten Cop when the little boy keeps telling Arnold about all the teachers who are better than him😅😭🤣 Kindergarten cop scene th-cam.com/video/PLq5snmBdAs/w-d-xo.html
Speakers last decades if taken care of 1000 dollars over a decade is 100 a year which is less then 10$ a month for a way better experience. Also once your done enjoying then can usually sell them for atleast half or a third of the value minimum. Depends how you look at things i guess but 1000$ for something you use everyday and for hours a day seems cheap.
@@MrFahelz Depends which type lol I much prefer the ramen packs I can find at rite aid over the restaurant ramens that costs the same but tastes just as good for a single bowl
@@pastaman6099 you can get sound from 2 cups and a string as well with that logic literally just ignorant telling yourself it the same 🤣 ramen is ramen not every speaker sounds the same if you believe that i guess pigs fly aswell
I wonder how they compare to the Fives. The Fives were atrocious. Fatiguing, muddy, and boomy. I could barely hear vocals in music and dialogues in movies.
I just love how these sound. Not to much bass. They sound nicely clear to my ears. Not so dull. I guess "sound" is so personal.
I can't believe how much I love your channel. Keep it up. ✌️
I appreciate it!

Audioengine is good. Made for desk applications
Can someone compare these to Klipsch R-51M?

@@Kpaceguy thanks for the prompt reply, love the way you do reviews, honest no bullshit no bias unlike most paid/hype reviewers
@@fatboyvin I appreciate it my friend
You gave them 3.5 out of 5 which I duly respect.
What would you give them after listening with the subwoofer?
4
These are very indecent speakers.
Kpaceguy Just curious are the Klipsch R-50m a upgrade to the 51m or just a updated design ?
It's a full redesign and upgrade
@@Kpaceguythanks man would you recommend a sub with them
Eltax monitor 3 or this Klipsch ?

What’s the second song? (The instrumental after the track with female vocals)
Pumpkin blues- daniel fridell
I 💕 klipsch 👍
what about adding the 10" sub from their same family? Maybe very different but how would you compare it with the mackie 5"?
I actually wouldn't pair it with the same family sub because it suffers from the same issue but louder. Their new line of subs are a bit better
Which issue?
Which issue?
@@121anz bloated mid range but not a lot of depth
Is the sound the same as the active R-50PM speakers?
Similar
@@Kpaceguy Ok then ill buy the RP-500M II :)
My brother do you prefer bi-wire or normal hookup ? I know ppl say it’s Preference but I’m thinking bout doing it
I'm always biwired if I can be
@@Kpaceguy thank you
Ok if it's just 2-ch, otherwise for surround sound it's just a complete waste of 2 extra channels.
They really clear tho
Yes that's true
I bet they won't be on the desk much longer. Honestly I don't think u had the Polk r 200s long enough to even break them in
Nope but I loved them anyway

Why u need so much bass from a speaker when u got subs, and who paying a grand just for desktop speakers 🤢

What if your using a subwoofer in your setup. Would you say they are good if you take the bass out of the equation?
They're better but you'll want a sub that can extend pretty high
@@Kpaceguy something like an SVS SB1000pro?

Looks like I didn't huh
Do The polks have a bright sound like the Klipsch? Or the Triangle?
They do not

I wonder how they compare to the Fives. The Fives were atrocious. Fatiguing, muddy, and boomy. I could barely hear vocals in music and dialogues in movies.
I wouldn't call these any of that outside of boomy
I think sound is a very subjective thing, everyone hears a little different.
Correct
do you think its worth getting the powered versions? I am not enough of a music geek to figure out the dac requirement and setup
Powered version may be more a simpler approach
