Lately, I've gotten into the habit of featuring a couple sound clips at the end of my reviews. This review doesn't have em' because, quite frankly, the copyright situation has become downright ridiculous. My videos will have to go without until I figure out a worthwhile solution to the problem. Thanks in advance for your understanding!

After watching this video I am confused if I should buy an old Wharfedale Diamond 3 recommended by Steve or this new Klipsch recommended by both of you, if not mistaken. I would love to hear your opinion! (my amp is NAD 304) Keep up the good reviews, both of you! Big ups from Bulgaria!

I dont know what's more impressive, the speakers, or the 7 minute monologue with ZERO cuts. Not this guy's first review. Well done sir

I was thinking the same.. well done indeed!

I really like that you explain audio jargon as you go, I’m new to this and many reviewers seem to just pull random words out of a thesaurus. You use precise terms, and you explain exactly what you mean by them. Much appreciated.

I took a chance and bought these speakers a few months ago. As a musician, I must say they have turned my apartment into a concert hall! They especially shine with acoustic instruments...jazz and symphonic ensembles sound phenomenal, and these bring out amazing detail in bass solos as well. Paired with a subwoofer, they are a pure joy to listen to...I'm a believer!

Hope your still enjoying your Klipsch book shelf speakers! I ordered them today hopefully I will be totally satisfied like you.

I have r 28f . and I love how warm and like the person is in your living room singing to you. I love it

I bought these after watching your and Steve’s review. I am not an Audiophile but enjoy good clean sound. The first track through them I couldn’t believe what I had been missing. I listen to classical and light jazz and could hear the bow strike the strings on the violin and the subtle sounds of the timpani. Added a subwoofer which gave it a little richness. Great review keep up the good work.

Just starting to look at a new set of speakers and here you are with a great Review! I appreciate your sharing some of your experience helping everyone have a win-win experience. I will definitely follow your Zero Fidelity channel. Gracias!

Wow - thank you for taking me through that. It was really well presented, understandable and genuine. Great stuff. Thank you.

Picked up 2 pairs of these to replace my surrounds. They match near perfectly with my 25 y/o KG5.2's (Original owner). I know they had some falling out with people (and probably deserving so) during the early 2000's, but I gotta tell ya, I'm really liking these things. I'm glad to see Klipsch making an effort again. They've always been my fav company since being a kid.

Hey Sean, I appreciate you making this review. I just bought these as my first “nice” speakers. I thought the sound was a little colorful and came here to see what others said, and you explained it well! Well balanced review, thanks again.

Wonderful review as always. Keep these coming - lack of sound clips is not a deal breaker by any measure. Carry on Sean!

What a great review. Thank you for taking us beyond the basics and subjective opinion. Very much enjoyed watching.

Made my first plunge into the hifi world today after enjoying a cheap 2.1 home cinema set for the last 5 years. Here to say I bought two of these because of your video, and bought an Onkyo A9010 to go with them. I can't wait to check these out, and how they will compare to my old set. I hope they will wow me and usher in a new fun albeit probably expensive hobby. Thanks for the great review!

Your reviews are great! Finally started my journey as an aspiring audiophile. Got the rs 51m's, Yamaha 301s, and the klipsch r8sw. Didn't think I'd like the horns but damn

I bought these as a surround speakers based on your review and they are amazing.

Love Steve. He’s how I found out about your channel a year or more ago. It’s cool that you’re featuring common man gear. It’s cool to hear your opinion since you’ve heard so many products. The audiophillac turned me on to the Klipsch RP150M which is one level up on the totem pole. Regardless I sold those and have a new house and more space and have moved on to the JBL Studio 580’s....id love it if you reviewed those JBL’s. Being one of the last speakers designed by Greg timbers the JBL studio 580 series has a quasi cult following. Keep up the good work and love your content!

Steve's a top shelf dude! Just as nice off camera as he is on camera. And yeah man, JBL knocked it out the park with the Studio series. An insanely good value when you treat em' right. Harman really lost a great asset when they let Greg Timbers go. Happy listening!

Man, this was really a great informative review. Thanks!

Love the review man klipsch did a great job on this new Series.

I got these, and I love them. They're on my desktop. I use them for a mixture of gaming and music and other stuff like media consumption. I love them so far. Never really tried to get a quality pair of speakers, so I was kind of shocked at how good they sounded when I first got them.

Another effect in the taming of the horn loaded tweeter is the baffle. They changed from a hard plastic to a rubber type material and from what I have read it made a big difference.

Killer review man! I am a proud owner of these babies I have 2 pairs (4 speakers) in different rooms and all I can say after a year and a half of usage SUPERB!!!! perfect compliment with audio technica LP120 and ONKYO receiver model TXNR626..... never had to remove the grills. Extremely happy. cheers \,,/

Man you have really been reviewing some speakers with awesome price points! Awesome. That really is a great looking speaker. I still have my Elac Debut 2.0 B6.2 speakers hooked up to my Parasound Halo gear. Great work on this review, as always. Great info given out about these speakers. Happy New Year man!

I’ve got the the powered version ...placement as usual is KEY. Especially for near field listening.

Oh man, thanks dude. I was searching for this. You helped me a lot dude

I am working on having a decent home theater set up, other then just buying another sound bar, just buying one thing at a time. As of right now I have a 2.1 system & just ordered a center speaker, & I am actually using these speakers for my right & left channel. Bought them for $183 for open box in excellent condition at best buy. & I love these little speakers, they get loud & sound good! I think I am headed in the right direction with these klipsch speakers!

Another smart, substantive review from Zero Fidelity! Thanks-

bicvar carapic I have a small living room and am only using the speakers for music. I have an old NAD amp and turntable. Crystal clear sound. This review describes it perfectly. For me the speakers were a big spend, I'm not a big earner, but I'm happy. I just take the covers off and look at them sometimes...

Great video! I only wish you had also reviewed these as surround speakers. I think a lot of people will utilize them this way.

Hey! Do you recommended to use it in a bar with only a par of this? thanks man

Will these be a good rear/surround speakers for a fairly large room? I have R-820F's fronts and the R-34C center

I have watched Sony core speaker video. Would you recommend Klispch r-51m or the sony core for front speakers

Question - What are those mini mounts for the speakers? Where can i get those?

Thinking of putting up in a desktop setup in my pc with my Nad 3020 amp. I need some change from my wharfedale diamond 10.1. Love klipsch for my hard rock listening! Great review! 👍

Could I use these speakers with an AV receiver 70 watt 8Ω 2 channel driven? I don't pretend to listen to very loud volumes. I'm a newbie.

What are the inline boxes you have hooked up before the speakers in the intro? I just have a 7.1ch reciever hooked up to mine...

Thanks for this great review! This will be my first speaker purchase to use with my phone, laptop, and record player. Would you recommend any extra gear in particular to warm the sound of these speakers? I mostly listen to live recordings and rock/jazz music. Thanks!

Hey Sean, how would you compare these speakers with Jamo S803? I am in a great battle between these two....:(

Buying my first bookshelf speakers so what’s the difference in sound of the krk gen4 vs these? I’m really new to this audio stuff just like to get lost in music and I need suttin for my work out routines

hi, great video! just wondering where do you get those speaker stands from? :)

Great speaker review. Most likely I am going to purchase a pair of Klipsch stereo speakers, or left, right surrounds to my present 2 speakers. I may get the Klipsch R-51M.

I bought the R15m just as the new range was been released so i got a small discount, i was worried about them, but having them for approx 6 months now, i really really enjoy their sound, they are not bright, very warm infact - I have also head the forte iii's just the other day - and i think klipsch speakers have the most natural sound you can get, I dont feel they go as loud as they say they can but not really going to push them to much. If the R15's are as good as i think they are - this new range is going to knock their brand out the park!

Hey where can I get that short speaker stand at?

I'm thinking of getting these and using the ikea symfonisk inners inside to make them wireless with airplay 2 compatibility. is this a good idea or do these drivers require more power to be driven then the amp / dac inside the symfonisk. Thanks for the help in advance

Hi man, you think this speaker is good as back speakers to home cinema if on the front i have RP series 600m and 504c ?

Hey Sean thanks for your reviews. Nicely done easy to understand. I’m definitely new to this hobby but I finally have the opportunity to invest in a system. I’m definitely interested in these speakers. Just not sure if I should get the powered speakers or the passive ones. I guess it also depends what kind of amp you connect the passive speakers to. Could I get your opinion on that? Thanks

hi, I have two Klipsh RP-260F. I would like to use them in the future for home cinema. Would Klipsh R51M be ok as satelite speakers? I would need also centre. Please advise :)

nice review! I am used to floor standing speakers. I wonder, do these actually fill up a normal sized room?

I have these as my rear surrounds in my klipsch 7.1 system. I love you're detailed review, thank you and subbed.

Love the sound with optical hook up to my old Technics PD 9 CD player. Plugged in also my old Technics 1600mk2 turntable

Question, this is from an audiophile from the late 70s and beyond. How would it work blending an electrostatic with the horn speakers such as Klipsch in a sound system. I am meaning some old ESS Heil Air motion speakers with these Klipsch. Hmmmmm

How do you think they would sound paired with dual pb1000s? Would they blend good?

Steve G is pretty rad. Now that I have given his channel some views I like his delivery and generally his objective take on audio gear. He also has a unique way to unfurl and expose snake oil where it’s due.

Steve is a good dude. The fact that he uploads so much valuable content, damn near every day, for free, blows my mind. I'm glad he made the decision to join the YT community. We're all the better for it.

these are marketed as computer speakers.. are they suitable for sitting that close to? I was considering The Fives also which have a slightly smaller footprint

can i use these with a focusrite audio interface plugged into my pc, or do I have to get an amplifier ?

Klipsch is very HiFi sounding speaker. It’s very energizing and engaging.

I see these on sale for about $190 right now. Is it worth saving that and go for ELAC Debut instead?

Great review, very helpful. can you please name the stand for the speakers? looking for similar.

Can the piercing highs be balanced through the preamp or will it always cut through?

Thanks for your honesty. Going back decades, Klipsch, Altec Lansing, JBL, and Bozak were the audiophiles choice primarily due to their efficiency and tube amplifiers which were low power. All of those speakers were huge. There are so many good choices for reasonable priced speakers, now. It's a good time to get decent sounding gear.

I had a quick question, I have very limited knowledge in audio stuff. I was wondering if the Sony STRDH190 is sufficient enough for the Klipsch R51M. My little home office is a small 10'x10' room.

How do you control the volume on these speakers, please ?

Hi there, would you recommend them over fluance ai60 ?

Cool video! Saludos de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷!

Hi! Love your reviews. It’s really insightful! Earned a subscriber! 💪🏻😄 however, would it be cool if you recorded the audio in mono since it’s mostly more on vocals? That way, the left and right output is equal. Just a minor request. Thanks mate! Keep it going

Ah, hey, your back Sean!....ok, actually, your front...ha ha ha! Seriously, good to see you back at it. Glad to know that Klipsch is trying to address some of the inherent downsides to horns even though you can't defy the laws of physics. I like that you mention "setup" in regards to toe-in. Yes, facing bright speakers outward instead of toed-in really does wonders to tame things. Thatg worked wonders with my Paradigm Monitor 6000fs for my second vintage based system. I like tight, clean, musical, articulate bass like you do as opposed to heavy artillery cannons. Having them toed in produced enough treble to tear my ears off. Having them straight out not only tamed that, but gave a locked center at a nice width and made off-axis listening astonishingly good. So it isn't always horns that can be annoying like that. As for song clips, yeah......Not worth it. It doesn't really translate well anyway because people listen to their computers with all manner of things, near-field monitors, cheap PC speakers, headphones, etc. so they are hearing whatever they are listening with and not the speakers being demoed. However, the other person's suggestion of songs to use , is a great idea! By the way, Parasound gear finally coming in next week to casa de Elliot (or dom eta Elliott in Russian..chuckle). Yeah, super fresh new P6 and A23+. If I get a buzz off the smell of super fresh new gear before install or power up, I could just go ahead and highly recommend the items just for that. LOL! Yeah, delayed because they actually ran out of the P6 and then there was a strike or something at port delaying it another week. Apparently, Parasound is that good. Knowing and having seen the design of the Halo line, much less the other lines, I am not surprised. Soon, I will get to hear it!

Hey Sean, If I am playing music through my computer, will adjusting the EQ (Using VOX Player - usually hifi audio) help with the treble issue, or is that not how it works? - Thanks, your Newest Fan.

So its V shaped audio ? I like bass and mids with the high end rolling off. Or atleast not a powerful high

Hey Zero fidelity im at a cross road, Im currently using micca mb42x as my fronts in 5.1 If im looking to upgrade should i go for these and matching center?

I actually bought the r41s and was wondering if it would be worth it to upgrade to the r51? I know that the r51 plays bass better, but I already have a powerful woofer, so what I’m really looking for is more depth and better quality. Do you think the r51 is significantly better than the r41 for me to upgrade?

So a question? I have the R51pm, and want to buy a turntable, so is it better to pair it with a pre amp turntable, bluetooth turntable, or just a turntable without the extras? Thanks in advance, aI enjoyed the video as well.

Would you recommend pairing these with an old Pioneer sx-434? Trying to get some new speakers to pair with the amp I found on the street as a kid, and these seem to be a good fit efficiency and style wise? Love listening to music, but I don’t know much about treble tilt or anything like that, I like listening to old rock records like Queen, Zeppelin, Beatles, and Elton John. Thanks!

Can this be used with turntables that have a built in Pre Amp?

What do you prefer between the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR and the R-51M? And how do these compare to the RP-600M or Triangle BRO3?

Awesome review. Can I ask for your opinion between these, the Elac Debut 2 B6.2's and the Wharfedale Diamond 11.1's. I am just buying into Hi-Fi for the first time, I don't have a very defined taste, so far I've listened on M-Audio AV40's via integrated DAC on my laptop, which I loved sound wise. I would also be thankful for any amp recommendations for these three models on the budget side of the price range. Thanks in advance :)

I just got the r51 pm and they cost $373 and as far as I am concernes the only difference is that it has blue tooth. Should I return it and get the cheaper ones or is there a reasin to keep it other than bluetooth?
