B&W’s treble was a bit thin sounding and forward. Elac was smooth, with better thicker treble than B&W but a bass was a bit veiled, constrained and small. Klipsch was outstanding and has amazing presence I like this Klipsch!
We can all agree the klipsch sound like there is a drummer in that room.. but you know some people prefer a rounded warmer sound like in the other speakers.. which is just taste and preference. Each one has its strengths.. I’m just glad we have the options to choose
I use the klipsch r-51 m for music and it is quite impressive. I have so many speakers and I understand the comments about the lively treble but the klipsch are fun to listen to and even have some decent bass especially after they are broken in they will surprise you.
I loved this comparison and soundtrack, exactly what I was searching without all the often pointless dialogue, thank you for producing, I just subscribed
The Elac speakers have that (what I call) blanket effect. Like someone draped a blanket over the speaker. I remember listening to Klipsch speakers in a audio store a couple of times and wasn't impressed, but they were the clear winners here.
The Klipsch sounded best to me, the drums sounded clearer and it was more dynamic, hi-hats sounded the most clear out of the 3 speakers and natural as well
Something I learned with Klipsch r-51 m is that doesn't matter how realistic you sound, detailed, liveful if it doesn't sound musical, it's not gonna be useful. that's why Klipsch r-51 m is great for home theaters. But I love detailed sound, liveful sound, and realistic sound. btw I will use the for music (rock, electronic music, etc) lol, and great movies :) . I love that tweeter and that kick bass.
Coming from a Klipsch and B&W Bookshelf speaker owner I definitely prefer the B&Ws. The Klipsch sounds good but the sound is more colored vs the B&Ws sound more neutral and tend to be less fatiguing at longer listening intervals.
Sorry i can't speak english .ich liebe diesen Vergleichtest und als Hifi Fan wünscht man sich gerne solchen Test.vielen Dank für die Mühe und Sie machen die besten Vergleichtest auf TH-cam. Amazing 👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏
The Elac definitely sounds more closed in compare to the Klipsch and B&W. The Klipsch sounds more open and airy but slightly shouty compared to the B&W, which isn’t exactly a bad thing. All of these speakers would benefit from a subwoofer to get that full range from top to bottom.
i love this kind of comparisons - subscribed - of course its not 100% accurate how the speaker sounds but gives u overall idea of character of the sound - if u reproduce it on good system or good headphones are even better... -
Klipsch clearly is the winner, the other two's sound feels constrained lacking the openess. The Klipsch make me feel the drummer is playing right in front of me, the other two are still speakers playing. And Klipsch looks more stylish in my opinion, glad I bought a whole set of Klipsch.
Well said! People disagreeing with this must either be B&W owners who are feeling a bit of buyers regret, or they have never actually heard a live drum set before! The Klipsch undoubtedly, produced the more realistic sound!
I just ordered a pair of these Klipsch R51M for $144.00 from Best Buy. I'll run them as front and a pair of Infinity RS 2 for rear in a 15x18 room with an 8' ceiling. I hope these four will work well together.
Whitout a listen to the live recording, it is hard to be sure which is the most faithful one, but as far as this comparison goes, the Klipsch sound more alive and dynamic and the Elac appear soft and even mute.
@@BogdanDorianC I haven't owned Klipsch, I currently own the Sony SSCS5 3 way bookshelfs, they are pretty good for the price. However, I listen mainly to rock, jazz, and heavy metal, and I think the R-51m should be a decent upgrade for me.
Just scored a mint set of Klipsch R-51Ms for a steal. So glad I did. This comparison shows I made the right choice. Wow, just priced the B&Ws, what a joke. The ELACs sound like an old pocket transistor am radio compared to the Klipsch. This comparison really isn't fair, it's like apples to cat turds
Как по мне, самое натуральное и открытое звучание на этой записи - у "Клипшей". В звучании остальных ощущается некая зажатость - от модели к модели звучание, конечно, разительно отличается, но именно "Клипши" на общем фоне ощущаются глотком свежего воздуха (но не за счёт акцентов на краях диапазона, именно их звучание кажется наиболее сбалансированным и естественным).
That BeW are incredible, it’s easy to say that soundend much better than the other two. More natural and realistic. Open but not much, and the bass articolation is wow. The detail is very high. The bew sounded the instruments, the other one some good replica of the original Instrument. Not pumped as on the klipsh. They worth every extra money. Thank you very much for this video, it was difficult to do.
Using my Sony WM-1000XM3 headphones. The ELAC sounds as if one had earplugs in listening to it, very muffled. The B&W was sharp in an ugly way on the high end and had a ugly cut mid-range. The Klipsch was the best balanced throughout its capable range and had a really natural and clearly defined sound to it in my opinion.
This is great! We need more of these comparison video's. Can you do the same video but then comparing klipsch r-51m + Dali Spektor 2 + magnat supreme monitor 202 + magnat tempus 33? Thank you
Love the detail in the highs with the B&W but I'm surprised the high-mids are so subdued, the 606's don't sound like that. The Klipsch is a bit much in the high-mids (no surprise there). The Elacs sound good & balanced just a little too laid back for my taste, maybe even a tad dark sounding.
By far the best TH-cam speaker comparison I’ve see yet. Thank you! Do you think Klipsch is still polarizing or do you think they are breaking free of that title? I kind of understand why. I’ve heard reviewers say they are too bright which makes them very fatiguing to listen to for extended periods.
I have a pair of 607s and they are quite bright (I like that B&W sound though) when paired up with a nice punchy Sunfire sub they are great for dance music, electronica, dub etc. The Klipsch do sound good in this comparison.
In my opinion Elac was very neutral sounding but not natural sounding, lacking a gamut of frequencies and attack. B&W sounds more natural and open with very good bass notes but a little bit over exaggerated although very listenable joyous sounds overall. The Klipsch is an all rounder with clarity, attack, instrument separation, nice n' tight bass but a tiny bit of highs that bite at times (but not too much in this model) which is something good for older people who have lost some hearing and it compensates for that. But if you can control treble with tone controls then it is fine. I have listened Klipsch R51 live and they sound better and different when you listen to them in reality. I asume that the microphone used here could have been sensitive to some frequencies than others and express more or less of them. But still this demo is the best one so far. Thanks for making effort.
I can get the Klipsch for like 120 euro (pair) because I have a voucher worth 150 for this store. That is a great deal. I do wonder how they would stack up against a B6 or 7 from Elac, would it still win? Either way, I am looking for good surround speakers and it sounds like the Klipsch would do absolutely fine.
funny no matter how many reviews i consider the Klipsch 600 and 51's continually come up at the top or close to it. Its not really because people love the gold speakers (but always have the grills off) lol.
Elac Debut B4 US$ 279.98 is it reasonable to pay $ 100 more? Klipsch R-51M US$ 179.95 good build quality at a more reasonable price B&W 607 US531.93 there is speculation on the expected price / quality
I totally agree with your comment....my pick is B&W just about every time, but this track definitely favored the Klipsch. The horns sound great with cymbals
@Charles Oliver, exactly. many of them are most likely B&W owners and after haring this, they're probably having a bit of buyers regret :) Anyone can tell by hearing this that the Klipsch a much more realistic sound!

THE Klipsch sounds the most impressive here with it's vibrant, dynamic sound signature, however would their 'forward' sound become fatiguing after a while and also how would they handle audio that does not play to their strengths so clearly as this drum track does?
Not too forward at all, the klipsch have a really nice wide sound stage and sounds great for movies, and music, even kills on gaming. At the price point, it really stands above the other 2. Money saved on the klipsch can be spent on a better amp.
The newer Reference Premiere line that Klipsch has out are not nearly as fatiguing and bright as they used to be. I used to hate the "Klipsch sound" but the RP-600M is a great bookshelf. Lots of dynamics and detail in the highs but your ears don't bleed.

1_ Klipsch. 2_ B&W. 3_Elac.
100%
I'm not a Klipsch fan, but here, they beat the Elac and the B & W.
yes i was never a Klipsch fan but i have the 51's in my bedroom for vinyl with a 5005 Marantz and Rega p3 - the sound is very good.
B&W’s treble was a bit thin sounding and forward. Elac was smooth, with better thicker treble than B&W but a bass was a bit veiled, constrained and small. Klipsch was outstanding and has amazing presence
I like this Klipsch!
God that's some nice editing for speakers comparison, thanks a lot.

เสียงดีทั้ง 3 แต่ชอบเสียงกลองของ klipsch มากกว่าครับ ไม่แน่ใจว่าต้นฉบับเป็นกลองไฟฟ้าหรือเปล่า แต่ klipsch เสียงกลองกังวาลเหมือนกลองจริงมากกว่าครับ

I totally agree- Klipsch was outstanding!
@@1moderntalking1 yeah exactly and the B&W had an uncomfortable treble and the drums sounded weird as well, Elac was dark sounding, lacked openness
Wow, the sound of Klipsch R-51M is better than even 607. Very clear! Thanks a lot for showing the comparison.
Great video! Great editing!
Excellent demonstration! Presentation of percussion is one of the defining attributes of the sonic profile of a speaker.
👍👍👍
Amazing recording quality.
Something I learned with Klipsch r-51 m is that doesn't matter how realistic you sound, detailed, liveful if it doesn't sound musical, it's not gonna be useful. that's why Klipsch r-51 m is great for home theaters.

Klipsch sound is more real!
i agree

Thanks for the video. Its well done.
You made me want to look at klipsch more.
Dynamics on the klipsch makes it winner by a mile for me
AB Test แบบนี้เยี่ยมมากเลยครับ ฟังชัดเจนเลยครับ ทำแบบนี้มาหลายๆคลิปนะครับ👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Very very thanks, great video klipsh is winner good balance and bass, good recording.
Wow, one hell of a video. Exactly what I was looking for.
Excellent presentation. #1. Klipsch.
You helped a lot! Thank you for your effort!
Got to hear B&W 607 and Klipsch r 51m today. The 607 is noticeably better than r 51m. 606 is a whole different level though with bass.
These types of comparisons are invaluable. Thanks!
👍👍👍👍👍
I expect all are very respectable but I preferred the Klipsch in this demo. Thanks!
Wow great video. Totally helped with my decision making process. 👍👍
Such a nice editing job, thank you very very useful

R 51 for the win.

EXCELLENT video
Interesting test between three global players. But to compare more different music ist needed, not only percussion.
Klipsch is the clear winner
Really gooood comparison.
Like and subscribed.
Klipsch 's sound is clear and show details better.
As usual. The highs on Klipsch's are really strong. If you like this, then they are amazing. I, myself, really enjoy really crisp highs.
@@BogdanDorianC I haven't owned Klipsch, I currently own the Sony SSCS5 3 way bookshelfs, they are pretty good for the price. However, I listen mainly to rock, jazz, and heavy metal, and I think the R-51m should be a decent upgrade for me.
Great bass.
Klipsch R-51M é a melhor.
Super test!

เสียงของ Klipsch ดีมากครับ
ให้เสียงที่เป็นธรรมชาติสมจริงเหมือนได้ไปยืนดูศิลปินนั้งตีกลองอยู่ตรงหน้า
เหมือนทางผู้ผลิตเขาได้จูนระดับเสียงของ Crossover มาอย่างดี ในเรื่องจุดตัดเเละความดังระหว่างตัว Twiter กับ Woofer มีความต่อเนื่อง เเละ ความดังที่เหมาะสมกันดี
จุดเด่นอีกอย่างที่รู้สึกได้คือลำโพงของ Klipsch มีความไวเสียงที่ดีกว่า B&W กับ Elac ครับ

Klipsch Very Clear
Thank you for the sound demo comparison.. Appreciated it..
Klipsh for the masses who don’t know any better. B&W! Cmon people. Elac uni-fi would take the cake.
you probably like tripe with oil
and in appearance you also think the prettiest B&W
This is great! We need more of these comparison video's. Can you do the same video but then comparing klipsch r-51m + Dali Spektor 2 + magnat supreme monitor 202 + magnat tempus 33? Thank you
I really would love a comparison between Klipsch r-51m and Dali Spektor 2
Other elements, like roomacoustic, amps, source, are so important that it isn't possible to make a ranking with this video. Try everything at home.
Klipsch won. Good comparison. Do you do others like Polk Audio ?
Klipsch all the way!!
The Klipsch has depth and precision.
The others have mud and dullness.
Klipsch nr 1.
Great video I’ll take all of them LOL
Love the detail in the highs with the B&W but I'm surprised the high-mids are so subdued, the 606's don't sound like that. The Klipsch is a bit much in the high-mids (no surprise there). The Elacs sound good & balanced just a little too laid back for my taste, maybe even a tad dark sounding.
Great comparison! That's what I was looking for. Could ypu do the same with some voice song?
Thank you
I very like this test track. Where i can get it in good quality?
Thank you!!!!!
Klipsch sounded a lot better in my opinion. Can you test with QAcoustics? Thanks

Elac Debut B4 US$ 279.98 is it reasonable to pay $ 100 more?
Klipsch R-51M US$ 179.95 good build quality at a more reasonable price
B&W 607 US531.93 there is speculation on the expected price / quality
Klipisch king
B&W 607 sounds more controlled than Klipsch which I like.
Klipsch👍
This track favors Klipsch .... Elac sounds so airless and muted here.
B&W must be matched with right kind of amp to sound great .
I think B&W is a beast.
I totally agree with your comment....my pick is B&W just about every time, but this track definitely favored the Klipsch. The horns sound great with cymbals
It's impoosible to choose in this way.
I have a request for you!
a comparison of a center channel speakers. Which a short movie sound example. Thank you a lot.✌️
Your at a band rehearsal , the Klipsch you’re in the same room. The other 2. Your listening from the hallway
Many people are upset when Klipsch wins. They make excuses for the other products
It didn't win imo.
@Daniel no it's not green apples suck
Klipsch best speakers price/quality on the market. In my opinion
106 db, horn loaded, less than $300... Price/Performance, Klipsch comes out on top.
@Charles Oliver, exactly. many of them are most likely B&W owners and after haring this, they're probably having a bit of buyers regret :)
Anyone can tell by hearing this that the Klipsch a much more realistic sound!
Klispch hands down
Elac - for classic, Klipsch - for rock, B&W - for all?
Nice!! What's the name of the track?
I dont know. Ive listened to the klipsch and b&w in an audio store and the b&w sounds way more detailed and controlled. Maybe just preference.
@Jack Heinemann 'Rape'? Do you mean 'reap'?
@Jack Heinemann Amp is not going to change the fact that Klipsch is a horn loaded speaker, drums will never sound better on a non-horn speakers vs horn speaker. If they maybe played some Katty Perry, the B&W might come out on top then.
@Jack Heinemann i highly disagree 😀
B&w are better and more pleasant to the ears.. but klipsch has life and stronger presence...
Artist Ferguson: I'm amazed by how different each speaker sounds. Did you have a favorite?
THE Klipsch sounds the most impressive here with it's vibrant, dynamic sound signature, however would their 'forward' sound become fatiguing after a while and also how would they handle audio that does not play to their strengths so clearly as this drum track does?
Not too forward at all, the klipsch have a really nice wide sound stage and sounds great for movies, and music, even kills on gaming. At the price point, it really stands above the other 2. Money saved on the klipsch can be spent on a better amp.
The newer Reference Premiere line that Klipsch has out are not nearly as fatiguing and bright as they used to be. I used to hate the "Klipsch sound" but the RP-600M is a great bookshelf. Lots of dynamics and detail in the highs but your ears don't bleed.
@@hochhaul I bought the Klipsch RP-600M a month ago. It's a fantastic speaker for modern music (rap especially) and movies. But the Klipsch lack the warmth for classic rock, jazz and soul.
