[@Dortch3]

As you state, "it does not sound like a horn" or any Klipsch speaker with a horn, because it's not a horn...it's a wave guide. I agree with all your suggestions, and I will proffer my own...move the speakers out from the wall another foot or so...delay if you must.

[@Dortch3]

@@JilesMcCoy Thank you for your kind reply....I stand corrected.

[@SpencersStuffTV]

I immediately noticed when I had my 160m's last year that they need a sub. Same with the 600s. When you add a sub, the mid-range on these open up A TON. I currently have the rp600m's as my mains, the rp 160m's on my rears, the rp450c as my center and the spl 120 as my sub. For my secondary system I have the spl100 and two rp160m's. I'm happy someone made a video like this

[@JilesMcCoy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mr91495osh]

I am planning to add RP 600’s to my Heresy 3’s. I believe All speakers should be about ear level. It’s a “central ray” issue bc the audio leaves the speaker coned shaped.

[@klewja]

You will get better imaging and sound stage if you pull them out from the wall more. It will get them in front of the tv. Anything between your speakers will kill the sound stage.

[@JilesMcCoy]

I agree 100%

[@hochhaul]

Cool video. I love the new RP lineup from Klipsch. I admit that I wasn't a fan of the super bright Klipsch sound in the past but the latest stuff has really toned the treble down without sacrificing dynamics or detail.

[@JilesMcCoy]

I agree 100%.

[@randyhunt1581]

I have a pair of JBL SP-150's that I cut a 4x6 18" long and put it on top of the JBL's. I painted the 4x6's red for a contrast and they look fantastic. Sound great as well. Currently I have a pair of Fluance Signature Series bookshelf speakers sitting on the 4x6's. I am replacing them with the Klipsch RP-600M's. Can't wait till I get them. Going to move the Fluance to rear surrounds. Also getting a Klipsch R25C to replace my Polk Audio SeriesII center channel. That should make a tremendous difference. I'm 62 years old and hard of hearing so the extra volume will come in quite useful to me. Not so much for neighbors. Oh well, they can get their own.ha

[@JilesMcCoy]

Sounds like a really great setup!

[@59seank]

Why do speaker stand manufacturers make the top plates so small? All the speaker stands I've seen have top plates that are much smaller than the speakers placed on them.

[@JilesMcCoy]

That is a great question!

[@SpencersStuffTV]

My guess would be because they won't show up if you turn the speaker on the stands themselves. I don't turn my whole stand when I towe my speakers, so I don't want to see the stand tops whenever I turn the bookshelves. The smaller they are, the less noticeable they are when the speaker is turned

[@cecilmayers3429]

Just got mine and they are great I like a little sparkle if it too much omg just dial back the treble knob on the Amp

[@jeffrielly]

I'm thinking of getting these, from my understanding, from what I've heard they sound like they have the strength of towers if you pair them with a good sub (my system actually has 2 dayton sub 1200s)

[@JilesMcCoy]

If you pair with a sub you will be very happy!

[@nikospasparakis]

I hope that all of the reviewers of the speakers let us listen to some songs with these speakers because what matters more is how is their sound. This would have been helpful before buying any set. Let the speakers talk!

[@JilesMcCoy]

Nikos Pasparakis I do that for these speakers in the full review video. Check it out.

[@scottlowell493]

The bottom end doesn't "Suck" Strong to 45 hz, and flat to boot is amazing for such a small speaker. The 12" heresy rolls off at 60hz! Other speakers fake deep bass. The bass is "superb" for the size, period. They don't fake bass with a huge 60-80hz hump. What do you expect for a set of speakers under $500 a pair and with a 6.5" woofer? The bass, incidentally sounds as if it's an 8" woofer compared to most other speakers. That being said, yes- I add a 15" sealed sub, I don't like sound systems that lack 1st octave bass.

[@JilesMcCoy]

That was just my translation of "Its a bookshelf so you have to add a subwoofer if you want a full range system". If it could magically be flat to 20... well that would be magical!

[@zeppelin2900]

Can you give us some idea of what you've done to treat your *room* - I'm not seeing anything other than paint. Lots of comments below re stands and positioning - all good stuff but our rooms are always going to come between whatever gear we own and achieving the sound we want.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Hi - There are 0 treatments so far. That is an upcoming project and I plan to do a before and after so everyone can see the impact of absorption and diffusion.

[@arthurwatts1680]

@@JilesMcCoy OK - I look forward to the vid.

[@petedetraglia4776]

Carpet on the floor at the first reflection, 2 inch thick absorption panels at the first reflection on the side walls, diffuser middle rear wall, thick drapes on the windows, and bass traps ceiling to floor in the corners to stop sound cancellations /standing sound waves in the room. I also have an acoustic ceiling in my theater room but that can be overkill if you are on a budget. I also have 8 pound padding under my fully carpeted room to tame bass vibration from my SVS sub. All rooms are different so measuring your room will be crucial to treating it appropriately. Also too much treatment will make your room sound like an anechoic chamber room losing too much dynamics to your sound. Patience and putting treatment only were needed will give you the best sound for your individual needs.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Im working on a budget. What do you think of the RP 500m ?? And can i pair them with a klipsch subwoofer just like you did with the 600m's in this video? Will they sound good without being overpowered by the sub? I mainly will be listening to music but will do movies as well

[@JilesMcCoy]

I've not heard the 500s but my guess is that they will really take off with some low end support. You can configure the output of the sub so that it will compliment your speakers perfectly. The idea of a sub isnt to overwhelm your mains... but to support them on the low end where they might not be as strong. You can pair them with any sub that you want. Id love to hear how this works out if you go for it.

[@219ccollins]

@@JilesMcCoy thank you for the quick response! I am on the fence as whether to but this speaker combo but thought it would be a good set up based on your review on youtube. Your reviews are great btw! One more question....how do you feel about center channels?? I thought about this option as well. If you have a link to another review on center channels please reply with the link. Thanks again

[@JilesMcCoy]

219ccollins If you are setting up a home theater a good center channel will be your most important speaker. It’s absolutely required. If you are doing 2 channel music then it’s not needed.

[@jasonsullivan8001]

I didn’t know it didn’t come in piano black. I had the rp-160 with a rp440c center channel in my living room. I ended up upgrading to the rp-250 tower speakers. I thought they sounded more full sound.

I had these in my rear (no pun intended). But I moved up to the 250s, which was a good improvement. Just saying

[@TheTjtremor]

I think the bass is extra fine on these. I have them bi-amp with a vintage Onkyo so they get full 100w+ rms each and I don't feel the need to hook-up my 12" sub. There's a difference between rp-600m refined , precise bass, sustained vs basic 12" sub + 45hz below are very annoying after long listening periods for me.

[@JilesMcCoy]

That are super cool speakers!

[@danmarjenka6361]

I also use an Onkyo receiver, and my RP-600's have plenty of bass. Onkyo gear is under-rated.

Your speakers are too close to the wall behind them. Try moving them forward a foot off the wall minimum 2 feet is even better,the RP 160's and RP 600 sound even better if you do this. Day and night difference allowing the rear port some breathing room.

Cool vid mate and nice setup. One question, do you just have the speakers sitting on the stands or do you stick them on somehow? I'd be worried about them eventually falling off that's all. Cheers

I don't really like having powered subwoofers in my mains. I want to be able to move subwoofers around to best tune for the room. As long as my mains can play authoritatively down to 60 or 70 hz I am good. * These speakers sound better to me than the towers. * I think the new speakers look better than the towers.

I Hope you have filled the stands with Sand or Kitty litter...😉

[@JilesMcCoy]

Don Tümmler Sand. Cat litter seems icky :)

[@LogiForce86]

Toe-in on speakers? That's the most ridiculous thing ever in my opinion once you take into account fluid/aero dynamics and realize how a speaker moves and alters the density of the air. Basically just like with a TV that you have a viewing angle, there is also a thing as listening angle. Some speakers are designed to be indeed pointed towards a single listener like studio monitors, but I never ever heard about someone applying that in a livingroom product. 🤷‍♂️

[@JilesMcCoy]

Off axis listening is super impactful. You should try it in your living room.

[@johngault-9597]

Wow, red subwoofer...words fail me...

[@JilesMcCoy]

Yes, it is beautiful.

[@LAWRENCECHEE]

sound test would be nice....all these mumbo jumbo makes no sense if one doesnt get to hear them.

[@carlosreneguerra1960]

I don’t see how they sound better because you’re using a sub and speaker stands

[@JilesMcCoy]

That’s how you make them better. Set them up appropriately. You can’t change the actual speaker… it’s all about how you use them.

[@ricksmith7659]

Good video but that red sub is ugly

[@JilesMcCoy]

Its because he is red with anger!

[@MogTheLynx]

Thats isnt a horn, its a waveguide

[@Blintzgrad]

Fluffy… not my choice to enhance RP 600M

[@JilesMcCoy]

But not stuffy!

[@shamrock4840]

These speakers need a center channel

[@JilesMcCoy]

You are right. I am using an old deftech now... I need to get the real Klipsch matching model.

[@ekimandersom4478]

1 it's not a horn speaker. 2 There are too many Klipsch video's, it's boring. 3 They are ok speakers, not more.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully you will watch my non klipsch videos :)

[@jgredford]

Not sure why you would recommend an obviously defunct company’s subwoofer...

[@JilesMcCoy]

John Redford Which company is defunct?

[@dednside5229]

The best fix is available It's called the JBL studio 530

[@JilesMcCoy]

:-)

[@thomasschafer7268]

First change the crossover. Thats a joke. Cheapest parts ever

[@JilesMcCoy]

What do you suggest?

[@Phalanx1922]

Terrible speakers 🤮

[@howardmims8376]

You are right did the Klipsch will sound better with a sub but number one you have to sand filled stands for good bass response number two you need real power to drive them speaker. Not some AV receiver. If you don't know what you're talkin about don't make KZbin videos because you have a camera

[@JilesMcCoy]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@patb93]

Why do you say "real power"? These are extremely efficient at 96db and would sound great with a 10w tube amp. You do NOT need a lot of power to make these sound good.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Patrick Barron You are spot on. Many people use 15watt tube amps for these speakers.

[@howardmims8376]

I've owned many efficient speakers Klipsch Forte 2, JBL L100T, and so on, if you're looking for Dynamics and real bass you need real power.

[@austinaltmyer5935]

Idk if this would count as more power, but, back before I learned much, I just had my nice average 7.1 Onkyo txnr avr bi amped to the rp280f towers. No matter what there's dynamics, but I couldn't get bass . I figured 2 x 8 inch woofers, I don't get it. 4 years later I'm running the same rp280s but with a pioneer elite lxsc 701, bi amped using built in crossovers in the elite, but I now understand why they said it would be a perfect match, going from a much less powerful a/b class amp AVR to a class d3 amp . It retains a massive amount of power compared to an a/b amp AVR so if you increase 3db, 6db at 63hz in the equalizer, it actually has the efficiency to provide any amount of bass increase . Obviously they aren't rp600s , but the same example applies and it's insane that I can forget that my rp115 is off . Basically, pioneer elite bought me , adding bass to any Klipsch speakers 5.25in or larger lol. Good stuff. I'm sure these 600 bookshelves would have a great deal of headroom to equalize any reasonable bass needed with a similar series AVR and bi amped using it's crossover capabilities. I don't know why many others have not discussed the class d3 / Klipsch benefit.. I do wonder what the sub is though.

[@vinnievictory1186]

This dude knows zero about actual audio.

[@JilesMcCoy]

Seriously, he doesn’t know anything. Heh.

[@catsbyondrepair]

There is no need for a subwoofer

[@JilesMcCoy]

How do you reproduce the bottom octive?

[@BBBucka]

Yikes. hella close to the wall

[@JilesMcCoy]

I was going to cut a hole and shove them in deep but decided against it.

[@toddd7444]
