I’m happy it was of some help! Congrats on the incoming speakers. We all love new speaker day here!

I bought them on sale at half price from a big box store and I was really surprised how good they sound, far beyond my best expectations. The receiver is a vintage Pioneer SX 550 in great shape. Then, following the hype and multiple reviews I just bought the RP600M at 3 times the price and frankly I'm not totally sold on them. I think the R-51 M are a fantastic value for 2 channels music listening and, at least in my room settings, a sub is not needed. Placement is 9' apart, 13' from my listening chair, about 1 and half feet from the back and side walls and on 28" sand filled stands. And yes, you're right, the looks and built quality are second to none.

Sometimes, you don’t need to spend as much money as the internet says, to get good sound. Plus, all ears are a little different so you might actually prefer the sound a less expensive speaker puts out, vs. the more expensive speakers. Thanks again for that post, I truly appreciate it!

Great little speakers for a low price but I pulled mine apart and added damping and bracing. Extra wadding and better capacitors. The difference was quite astounding.

Paul Baeg I’m clearly not the right person to ask, when it comes to large speakers in a small place😆 My place is only 600 SF and I’m currently listening to M&K S-150 speakers and a SVS SB16 Ultra. Haha On a serious note, I don’t think those speakers will be too large for your space. It all will come down to tuning it correctly and making sure the bass isn’t traveling into your neighboring units, if you have shared walls. To be honest, in a smaller place like that, you would probably be happy with a bookshelf system, if you get that sub properly integrated. Not trying to talk you out of the 6000F’s or anything, as they seem like a fine speaker but since your in a smaller place like me, space is always at a premium. Thanks again!

I recently bought a set of these and power them with an inexpensive Monoprice 50 watt hybrid tube amp. The sound is phenomenal. I bought both at the same time and haven't tried either with other components, so I don't know if it's the speakers or the amp. I needed something with a great low volume sound without much bass for the bedroom in my thin walled apartment. I'm blown away by how good these speakers and a $178.00 Chinese hybrid tube amp sound together.

I haven’t gotten my hands on any Monoprice amps just jut but I’ve read good things. This type of speaker is just perfect for what you are looking to do with them. Vocals are nice and clear and they are efficient so these speakers are just great for lower level listening. Isn’t it great when two separate pieces of gear combine to meet or exceed your expectations? Nicely done combining Klipsch with that little tube amp!

Fabulous in a small space 5.1 system!

Can you review the B&W M1 satellite speakers? I have 4 of them but I am not an audio expert. They sound amazing to me but how do they compare to other nice surround system type speakers like these Klipsch or others out there? For home audio/movie surround and for chill music listening

Just tried these and I found the midrange/bass kind of muddled. I was comparing them to Polk TSi200, which seem extremely clear for all ranges - highs, strings, bass, vocals. I really want a pair of Klipsch. So looking for your opinion of the sound of the 51M compared to the clarity of the 600M?

Yeah, stepping up from a soundbar to a 5.1 + home theater can definitely make a night and say difference. Truth be told, a budget minded, well thought out system and room can get you pretty darn close to some of the theater rooms we drool over online. Some of those systems sound absolutely amazing but you can get 80% there with smaller budgets. Closing that 20% performance gap is where this hobby really gets expensive. We all have budgets so as long as you research and make smart purchases, the efforts can be pretty rewarding. Have some fun with it!

If I have rp500's for fronts which smaller klipsch would yall recommend for surrounds ? Or 500's all way around ?

Are you looking for bookshelf speakers and are you happy with the performance of the center? I ask because it’s usually best to keep your front 3, main speakers, as close to the same as possible. If you are happy with the sound/loudness of the center, I would just go with the matching bookshelf or towers. If you are planning on upgrading the center down the road also, I’d probably snag a pair of bookshelf or tower Klipsch Reference (preferably Reference Premier), and just upgrade the center to match, then money allows.

My next upgrade Klipsch R-51-M & Klipsch R-34C & R-100SW Subwoofer, coming from polk t series.

I bought a perfect pair of B-Stock R-15M (the precursor of the R-51M) a few months back from Woot for $110 and I couldn't be happier. Note, they replaced a fantastic pair of Wharfedale EVO2-10 which were a bit overkill for the small room I was using them in. They definitely punch above their price point.

Can you recommend something between Klipsch R-51PM, SVS Prime Wireless Speaker, Audioengine A5+ Wireless and KEF LSX?

I like R-51M and KEF LSX from what I saw in reviews - didn't hear them. But the price... They are different in my country. Klipsch is around 600$, SVS Prime around 600$, Audioengine around 450$ and KEF around 880$ - a lot more than others. I think Klipsch being a bit cheaper than KEF, having a dynamic sound and that Dynamic Bass for lower volume could be a good choice, but I'm not sure.

My boss told me that he wanted some speakers for his office a couple weeks ago and he told me he wants them to cost around $500. I grabbed him a used pair of AudioEngine A5+ in bamboo. They sound awesome and he loves them. With all of that said, I really don’t think you can go wrong with any of the great speakers you listed. I also imagine that the Klipsch R-51PM will probably go on sale for the holidays so it might be worth waiting another week or two.

There’s only so much a 5.25” woofer can do but for their size and price, these speakers should meet your needs.

These would be excellent surround speakers in medium to small rooms. They are a small and efficient speaker with great frequency response so they I’ll make great surround speakers. What are the rest of your speakers? It’s better to keep all your speakers as tonally close as you can, if at all possible.

The 600M is the larger speaker and will get louder and go lower than the 500M but it really depends on how large your room is and how loud you listen. My gut tells me that the 500M’s would be just fine for most rooms, with most listening habits.

@@damonblackburn2434 Do you have the RP-500M up front, the RP-500C would be the center I’d go with. With that said, you could also go with the 600C and have great results, especially if you ever plan on upgrading your fronts. The 600C is a great center for the money but so is the 500C.

These would be great as fronts, in a smaller room. I say smaller room as there’s only so much these 5.25” drivers can do. Add a subwoofer or two, to take the low-end duties away from the woofers and you’d be able to crank these up nice and high in most rooms. What other speakers are you considering?

Hey Sean! Unfortunately, due to the size and weight of the gear I’m buying to review, shipping is pretty much out of the question. Are you in WA by chance (long shot, I know)? If you are, I would love to sell items to you. The good news is that you probably have the same type of deals on your local 2nd hand marketplaces. That is a very large part of this channel, to let people know that I’m not doing anything special to get these deals, I’m just very flexible on brands, if the gear is priced right. Do some searching on your marketplaces and let me know if you come across anything that peaks your interest. I would love to try and help you out:)

That’s exactly the type of comment I was hoping this channel would create. We all have different ears and budgets and that’s exactly why we have so many speaker options. While listening to speakers through computer speakers or headphones isn’t the best way to audition speakers, it’s definitely better than just ordering without taking a deeper dive and educating yourself a little. Thank you very much for the comment and your thoughts on the subject!
