[@warnerrobins8542]

I grew up in the 70s and will never forget the first time I heard Klipsch speakers. I was blown away. I worked several years to be able to buy my own set. In the late 80s I am not sure what happened to them but they disappeared. I bought a cheap set of speakers that were just alright and since I have gotten older don't even have a stereo system. The only times now I listen to music is in the car. Getting older is not a bad thing but things definitely change in your life

[@seriosertyp8145]

Get a pair of KlipschR51M just to make sure that you don't confuse getting old with having a major depressive episode.

[@jamesbrotherton5487]

Thanks Sean. Glad to hear an audio reviewer I respect struggle with model numbers. I feel slightly less dumb. I don't know how Steve does it. He is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@CustomTele52RI]

I have the RP600Ms hooked up to a high end 25 W per channel EL34 tube amp and I'm surprised at how good they can sound. They were fine with a far more powerful mass-produced solid state Marantz A/V receiver, but they punch way above their weight with the little tube amp :o) Another satisfied customer after owning them for a couple of years and trying them with a lot of different electronics. I own speakers listing for about 20X the RP600m and I play and listen to a lot of live music, so I know what music is supposed to sound like and I'm very particular. These speakers are "keepers". I own the competitive Elac Uni-Fi UB5 speakers as well, and they can also shine but only with quite a bit more power. My son uses them to very good effect with an 80 Watt per channel Cambridge CXA81 stereo integrated amp. Happy listening!

Glad to hear that you are still enjoying the RP600M's. I feel the same way about the ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers I purchased last Black Friday. They are not perfect, but they are great to listen to, and really easy to drive. I have them faced straight out into the room. I use them both for movies, and 2 channel music listening. I am really enjoying the "after the hype" videos.

I have a pair of Forte III's on the way. I can't wait, super excited! I had some Epic CF-3's about 19 years ago that I sold. I have had a number of speakers in my setup from Thiel, Martin Logan etc but they all missed that magic the Klipsch used to give me. I can't wait to get horns back in my system. Thanks for the follow up review.

[@seewherl]

My rp-600m's are hooked up to a vintage pioneer sx828 and sound fantastic. I do use an old pair of Denon bookshelf speakers connected to the b inputs on the amp, just gives a little more low end, without having to crank the bass dial to high. Overall really happy with them.

Steve's "horn epiphany" episode prompted me to grab the R-51M's for half price last Fall and I've been luvin' the "emotion" and dynamics they present ever since. :) If I can get the 600's for half price this Fall it will probably be impossible to resist them :/ ...but even with just my $100 Dayton sub, and a Vista Spark, I'm pretty darn happy with just these little guys! :)

[@7MAD-OLAMBA]

I was not really into speakers and I was out for a pair of Focal Clear. I came across the Audiophiliac's review, yours, and a few others, so I ended up hitting that infamous next day delivery button. I auditioned it them for 18 hours on a Sunday and missed work on Monday. I was just blown away, I could not stop track after track. It was just the sound signature I was chasing. Then I got greedy (financially irresponsible some would say) and went for the whole cake instead of a slice. I returned the RP600M and ordered the RP8000F and the Yamaha A-S501. I mostly use the Questyle CMA400i in DAC mode for this setup. Five months forward, still a joy to listen to, still no buyer's remorse, still no itch to get the 12th pair of cans , and still nice looking piece of furniture with a traditional Moroccan lantern (modded with an RGB smart bulb) on top of each. I'm only tempted by the Magnapan's LRS, but they are always on back-order and I don't have enough room anyway.

[@seanb3303]

The JBL 530 is incredibly smooth and well integrated. A very refined choice. But curiously enough, is ignored by reviewers outside of Zeos. Would love a comparison with this RP model, as I have never heard the RP600.

[@xTG14x]

I wonder if it's because the Studio 500 line is kind of ugly, especially with the drivers exposed. But boyyyy, I want to hear them all

[@seanb3303]

JBL tends to engage reviewers with other product lines. The guy who engineered the 530s is no longer with JBL. The cherry vinyl wrapped ones look kinda nice, but only seem to be available in Japanese market.

[@bigjay1970]

All I can personally add is I bought the 590's and then the center and these studio speakers are the deal of the century for the sale price. They are that good that I see no need at all for spending more! I keep the grills on but love to see how the 8 inches woofers are recessed in the cabinet for added oomph! That compression driver in this thing is fantastic!🤪🤓🤗

[@OMG_BeCkY]

Listening to my 530s right now : P I too am very curious how they stack up against the RP600 (or the RP500).

[@bernardjenkins1630]

After several months of living with this speaker, I still love it. I would love to update the amp to a Hegel and see what they can really do.

[@DismasM]

Between you, Steve and Herb Reichert I'm having a very hard time not buying a pair of these... and I need them like I need another pair of speakers... Thanks a lot! Good company, btw!

[@Tomloser4321]

I've just finished listening for about 8 hrs to my newly arrived PR600Ms. It's being powered by some pretty good stuff......Cal Transport - Denifrips Aries ll - Nelson pass amps-speakers. I didn't get any overly bright sound out of the tweeters. It was smooth. My Coincident Triumph ll speakers had a deeper low end, but the mid and high frequencies were surpassed with the Klipsch. I have a great listening room as well. The speakers are about 4 1/2 ' from the back wall. My room is treated with acoustic panels for the 1st refection point. It sure works for me. I'll be swapping out the amps with a pair of Bottlehead "Paraglow" 2A3 mono blocks tomorrow. The F-5 is pure class A and pumps out 36 watts. The 2A3s will pump out 3 watts!!! Wish me luck.

Bought the RP600Ms two years ago for $400 based on Steve's recommendation. These are great speakers for the money and I have no regrets.

[@scottlowell493]

Modern Klipsch with the tractrix/titanium horn and improved crossover have really eliminated the old school horn shout and other nasties produced by older models with a phenolic tweeter. They have also nailed it with integration.

[@hochhaul]

Absolutely. I always hated the Klipsch "sound" up until recently. After hearing many of the new RP line as well as the RF7 III, I have completely changed my opinion on Klipsch speakers. They are not the ear bleeders they used to be.

[@scottlowell493]

I just got some (10/25/2019), Black Friday sale price under $500 a pair. Unlike some internet trolls, I have heritage (Crites upgrades) and reference klipsch as well as other speakers to compare. I am not making general or interpolated statements. My 600M are mated to a 15" sealed sub. I have had the opportunity to listen for several hours to a wide swath of genres. The klipsch exhibit NONE, as in NO TRACE of the older models upper midrange harshness or horn shout. They will not appeal to the "Boutique" listeners who want ever-so-gentle, laid-back treble and "calm" midrange. A bit forward is a great thing. Music is simply more realistic and alive than on a dozen or more brands I could name, have owned or auditioned at length. These are a true refinement of not just klipsch, but horn loaded speakers in general. They punch way above thier price and weight, and represent a solid milestone and sound standard for under a grand.

[@BryanRuby]

I've had these speakers for more than two years and decided to revisit this video. With the price of the Klipsch RP-600M going up, I've been considering selling these and using the money for something next level (thinking Wharfedale LINTON Heritage). But here is the deal, I'll listen to these with something new and the speakers catch me by surprise just how good they are. Other times I'm in the kitchen and just playing background music from my living room...and the RP-600M will will make me pay attention to the sound coming from them. I think the RP-600Ms are the type of speakers that once you own them, you will regret selling them because somewhere down the road you will want to listen to them again. They're just too unique that even if they no longer become my primary speakers, I'll have a nice place for them in my closet.

[@mikehanks1399]

Yes, absolutely, I definitely enjoyed your video. You produce some of the best, no nonsense videos of the type on KZbin. I purchased these speakers. I was SO looking forward to getting them hooked up and experiencing what both you and Steve had to say about them. Unfortunately, for my room and my ears I really thought the top end was lacking. Seriously lacking. There is no question that Klipsch has done something to the horn tweeter to mitigate some of the objections many had with them. Yours and Steve's reviews notwithstanding, I think they went too far. At least they did for my application. The bottom end integrated perfectly with my sub and I had bass nirvana. Top side was a very different story. They sounded muffled. Who ever heard of a horn being described like that? By the way, as an aside, good luck telling the difference between real wood veneer and the vinyl on these little beauties. Anyway, your review is spot on in my view. Having lived with the Klipsch and the SVS Ultra bookshelves, I'd like to see a joining of the bottom half and cabinet of the RP600M and the top half of the Ultras. I found a bookshelf that produced what a marriage like that would have sounded like but it cost me almost three grand in the process.

[@midevil1980]

B&W?

[@carlosbauza1139]

Right. After those reviews, I ordered a pair. Loving with them and comparing directly with my KEF LS50 for about seven months, my thoughts remain the same. The Klipsch are really good. But the LS50 are distinctly superior.

I want those LS50s so bad but they'd require me to shell out big bucks for a 5-channel amp, whereas I might be able to get away with just a receiver and these Klipschs.

I just got these yesterday. They're replacing a pair of RP-150M in my office. I have to say, right out of the box... I preferred the sound of the older RP-150. Granted, these haven't had time to break in yet (or I haven't had time to acclimate), but the RP-600M just seemed more strident to me. Although I didn't get fatigue, I got the sense that I could. That was never the case with the smaller RP-150. Probably a low value comment since I haven't had much time with them, but thought I'd share anyway.

Hmm. Aren't they are just an aluminium dome tweeter with a rubber waveguide in a plastic housing, rather than a compression horn driver?

[@jimshaw899]

Thanks to Steve, I was sitting listening to a Chesky record when this re-review caught my eye. Somewhere around your first review of another speaker system, I emailed you asking if that speaker pair would be a good match for a large room of mine. You suggested instead these Klipsch's. I bought a pair, hooked them up, and musical life around here has really improved. I've been playing them for many weeks with CD's, vinyl, and a bit of digital. To my taste, they bring out the best in the music. If you have a bad disc or file, they will also front-stage that, too. C'est la vie. Their sensitivity basically doubles the available acoustic energy from my existing amp. The horn and rear port seem to drive *the room* rather than just *my ears*. The sweet spot is all around the room -- it's just like changing seats in a concert hall. My tastes run to classical symphony orchestras, solo vocal and instrumental music of all ages, acoustic guitar-bass-and drums, jazz ensembles and vocals, and -- classical organ. I use these with a powered subwoofer that woofs to about 25 Hz. It is cut off at about 75 Hz. The subwoofer provides some of the ambience of a concert hall, etc., as well as half of the bottom octave of 32' tone and all of the range of a double bass. Thanks to the RP600M's, I listen entirely to the music, and I no longer cringe to the damaged music. I forget I'm listening to speakers. Close my eyes and the speakers are almost gone and the musicians remain. The question remains: Did Klipsch's old witch doctor die and were these from a new witch doctor? Or, did the artists and engineers at Klipsch oust the market spec writers in favor of music? [It's a rhetorical question.] Thanks for the advice that marshalled me in this direction. I've since bought a second set for another good sized room. One big wet kiss to your ears, Sean. ;)

A long time ago I watched a youtube video on these 600's where you send the speakers to a dude and he super spruces the insides up to sound twice as good. Anybody remember that vid? I would like to watch it again and see if he is still in business......thanks Hot Rod

After 2 months with my beautiful rp600m piano blacks, I dont dislike them as much as when I bought them. When they were new, they had a frequency response like two mountains...mid bass, highs and nothing in between but a big ass hole. I am happy to say that after two months the hole is filled up. Also, after 2 months, I can appreciate the detail of these compared to my old speakers, especially in the mid frequencies...i hear details that my other speakers do not have. The thing that PISSES ME OFF about these stupid things is that the sweet spot is very small, and I find myself constantly fucking with the speaker angles to try to get just the right sound...when you do find the g spot....its fucking amazing....but move 5 mm to the left or right, and its gone. I thought i was sensistive to high frequencies, but Im almost 50 now, and i guess my ears are worn out in the high frequencies, as the treble in these sound sweet and smooth to me.

[@adambrown8867]

Actually it was Z Reviews that I saw first in all the rave reviews of the RP600M, & Steve was the 2nd or 3rd one I saw. You can thank Klipsch for making a great inexpensive speaker. Steve is the first reviewer I've seen with the Klipsch Cornwall IV, for which he gives a rave review, at $6K a pair. They, Klipsch, took the idea I had a couple years ago taking the Forte III midrange horn & putting it in the Cornwall III, which had a very small horn for a midrange.

[@jeffsloane8628]

Thank you for another great video. As an owner of the predecessors, the Kipsch RB61 reference speakers, I was curious if upgrading to the RP600Ms should be on my to do list. Unfortunately a rear port is a deal breaker for my instillation, but I did dig into Klipsch's archives to check out the difference in specifications between these two siblings. According to Klipsch the RP600Ms weigh 16 lbs. the RB61s weigh 22 lbs. Where did the 6 lbs go? This is not insignificant. The new speaker is 27% lighter, but sounds better!? Smaller due to rear port maybe? That means less cabinet volume. Lighter due to thinner box construction perhaps? That's not good for resonance. Lighter due to reduced motor magnet mass or basket strength? Not good things. Guess I'm going to have to hear for myself.

[@Artcore103]

check out new record day's evaluation of the RP600M's and how to upgrade and improve them. they are pretty good out of the box, but as you will see, with 2 simple steps they become SERIOUSLY good. first, he offers a kit for a complete crossover that completely fixes the sound and makes them much flatter. second - as you you mentioned and he also points out - cabinet resonance! and this one can be done cheaply yourself, with some no-rez or similar treatment. i do have to correct you on your oversimplified view of magnet mass, which is almost completely meaningless (new record day has a video on that too!). see, magnet size is just ONE sub-factor. but alone is means nothing. there are some cheap crappy car sub companies who intentionally use bigger magnets to fool customers into thinking they're getting a better speaker, but then they simply increase the gap (between the magnet and voice coil). smaller gap - stronger magnetic field. also not all magnets are created equal - there are neodymiums, and even just looking at ceramic magnets those are not all created equal either, some are much stronger than others. then on top of all that, there is moving mass. less mass to move means less field strength required. and of course there's voice coil size and number of windings etc. so a smaller magnet doesn't mean jack, it simply could have been re-engineered and even improved with a smaller magnet. less mass, stronger fields, smaller gap, voila. whether or not this applies positively or negatively to the RP600M vs the RB61's I do not know. But I do know an upgraded set would blow either the stock ones, or your older ones, away by a mile. the guys at new record day design crossovers for people on request (only if they can actually measure the speakers themselves) and who knows, perhaps they've already made one for the RB61's, you might ask them. that's an easy and excellent upgrade, because for mass-produced high margin products like Klipsch, they tend to come with absolute CRAP crossovers. watch the RB600M video on their channel and he'll explain why and prove it to you. they cheap out on that stuff big time. Most of the Klipsch range, while it seems expensive to the average person, is nowhere NEAR audiophile level pricies (i.e. ridiculous) that would justify top quality designs and components in either the x-over or cabinet, that's just the way it is. the mfg doubles their money at least, retail is typically doubling their money, then there's shipping costs. the RP600M in his estimation costs no more than 100 dollars in materials, in total, and probably less. that's why DIY is the best, unless you like speakers costing multiple thousands of dollars or more. and yeah he did show that the woofer uses a cheap thin stamped steel basket... but that can be damped with certain materials to where it's not a major issue either. the magnet is a decent size for the driver, which is small and lightweight.

just got mine based on several reviews to give the Elac BS 244s a rest. listening to The Handsome Family's Through the Trees...so far so good but only 5 songs in.

[@steliosdjgr]

Hi! Love your videos, I'm pretty new on the audio fidelity stratosphere thus I need to ask your opinion. I've recently bought a cambridge audio CXA81 and I want to pair it with either the KEF LS50 or the Klipsch RP600M. The speakers will be on my computer desk (I have a big desk) with not much space from the wall. Any input on the above is welcome. Thanks in advance.

[@qwerty123860]

Got a pair last week at 200$ off ( black ) Very good with my super mono Quicksilvers V4 lol Yes, it's fun .

[@tonypodowski5818]

Love the review , what stands do you use as the will be going on a desk top

[@brianscott4371]

Great video. Question in your opinion. I’m looking for a speaker for the side surround and back surround ? I have ( all klipsch) rp 504c, r 820s, 2 r 120sw, 1 klipsch 15 subwoofer, and 2 cdt 5800s in the ceiling. I’m looking for something that will fit perfect with this set up. The receiver will be upgraded once all speakers are set up. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

[@sawyerandrobbie]

Paired with subs they are amazing.

[@backrack01]

What subs are u using?

[@johns6481]

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.

[@roytiller4537]

If you were to put together a simple stereo system for these speakers that wouldn't break the bank too badly but sound awesome, what would you do??? I had a Pioneer rack system years ago that I bought from Sears when all the components use to be sold together as a package but now nobody really does that anymore that I know of and I really don't know what I'm doing. lol I really miss my old rack system and get tired of always putting on headphones or earbuds to listen to music. Any advice would be great... Thanks

[@95Sn95]

THANK YOU!!! I watch ur Content but I'm so sick of these and the other handful of bookshelf speakers reviews beat to death. There's so many other brands other than the cool kids

[@DueM]

focal 960's are nice, my dad got some last week. not my style but they seem great for acoustic and classical.

[@eduardofarfan9473]

Thanks for the video, very informative. What amplifier (500-600 usd price range) do you recommend to go with these speakers?

[@munlive5130]

I am considering choose one between Whafedale Denton and Klipsch RP600M. I have tube amplifer and prefer to hear soft high, plentiful mid and abundant low sound. In my case, which one do you recommend?

[@mjcz5853]

Will these be a good choice for classical music? If not, what would you recommend? I’m looking for something better than the Polk I’m using now.

[@ballingit]

Looking to get either these or b&w 606 then add their matching speakers to create a 5.1 system. Regardless of price, anyone know if these still sound better than the 606's?

[@jeffrielly]

I'm leaning twords getting a pair of these, from my understanding these things if paired with a good sub actually sound like a tower speaker, is that true?

[@Mr.HotRod]

Hi: Do you have a link for the short stand on the bottom of your speakers. I have the exact same pair and would love to purchase a pair of the stands. thank you

[@jamesmiller8442]

Yes please!

[@rolandrohde]

One thing I would like to know is, how much toe-in you would recommend for these. I usually go with the "point them at a point 1m behind the MLP. Would you agree?

[@TheDoozie43]

I would agree lol, saw no one answered you.

[@myplaguesify]

please compare this to bowers 606

[@michelst-jacques9555]

I puchased these speakers 1 year ago.When i first heard them in my living space i didn't like them,and i am sure that there a breaking time.I found them a bit bright at first and with time the sound warmed up a lot.

[@danielsimion5224]

Hello! What would you choose between the Klipsch RP-600M and Mistral LS3 / 5A speakers? For loud volumes I know Klipsch's are better, but wich one do you think sounds more natural?

[@TheJazzHog]

I bought the m600 because of your and Steve’s review. I can say that I love them! I have always wanted a tube amp but the cost was too much for a trial run. I saw your review on the X7 tube amp. It is reasonably priced and I can justify it for a trial run or even the X5. Would you feel comfortable pairing it up with the 600m and a Fluance RT-85 table with the 2M blue cartridge? I love jazz and some rock , no metal.i do like to listen to the system at higher volumes every so often (at least my wife says so!) your thoughts

[@MomchilNikolovPhoto]

I'm using the RP-600Ms with Muzishare X7 and really like the combination. My turntable is Fluance RT-81 with Audio-Technica VM540ML (Yes, the cartridge costs more than the table lol). The combination sounds great to me. My phono stage is Musical Fidelity, I'm not using the internal phono of the turntable.

[@TheJazzHog]

Thanks for the info. I finally received the unit yesterday and hope to get everything hooked up today. I was very surprised by the workmanship in a good way!

[@OMDF01]

I didn’t know they were THAT deep!

[@oluhamilton2121]

I already have some great bookshelves (Sjofn HiFi), but I still would like to least AUDITION THEM somewhere in the metro NY area. Any suggestions?

[@ZeroFidelity]

Adorama Camera may be worth checking out at the end of the year. I know they are going to expand their retail floorspace to include audio gear.

[@oluhamilton2121]

@@ZeroFidelity Thank you, SIR. The salesman at Best Buy was mad RUDE and I just walked out. BTW, is it anyway possible for you to audition the Sjofn's?

[@andreiconstantintabacaru1599]

Thank you for this great video... (I am from a small country in the Balkans, southeastern Europe called Romania). I'm at the beginning of the audiophile road... I need some advice from you if you are kind ... I intend to buy these great speakers (Klipsch RP600M ... and later I intend to buy another pair of Magnepan LRS speakers) and I would like to match them with: A - DENAFRIPS HESTIA (preamp) + HYPERION (poweramp) or B - SCHIIT FREYA + (preamp) + VIDAR (poweramp) ... What advice do you give me ... A or B? Thanks a lot for the advice ...

[@kinggodzilla7647]

Horn speakers always have a better chance of giving you a live music experience.

[@epi2045]

The Klipsch RP’s are last years Elac Debuts. I bought the Elac Debut 6.2 based in the reviews including yours. Unfortunately I owned it for 9 days and then Craigslist’d them. Just didn’t like the sound. Thought it would be awesome to have inexpensive bookshelves. I may get these for my family room.

[@OMG_BeCkY]

So you don't like them but you're gonna buy them anyway??

[@ZeroFidelity]

The Debut 6.2's are solid all-arounders, but they straight up do not have the charming 'character' of the original debut series. Its why I rarely recommend the latest Debut speakers to people. The competition caught up and in many respects, surpassed the Debut.

[@epi2045]

Zero Fidelity If I keep watching your channel, I will end up with a dozen speakers and a dozen amps. 👍🏽.

[@barfy362]

@@ZeroFidelity I went from the original ELAC Debut series to these. They have pretty much the inverse pros and cons of each other. I feel like 99% of people will at least love one or the other, and I loved both! (I'm not getting rid of these like I did to the poor ELACs though)

[@ruhsrmbdad]

Should I get these or keep my KEF 101-2s?
