Hey love your channel and thank you for your information I love it. I have an older model of Klipsch it’s the synergy series I’m putting it together again and love it but I am interested in upgrading eventually. I am also thinking of getting the reference Dolby atmos speakers to add and putting them on the wall top facing out.

I have created an intimate theater in the loft The TV is mounted about 8 feet in front of me and the speakers are about six feet in front of me. I am using a mix of klipsch surrounds mounted about two feet higher than seating position on wall behind couch, klipsch atmos mounted above tv to right and left aiming down at listener and two klipsch 12 inch subs. The center and towers are Polk but I just ordered the klipsch rp 600m mark two to replace the Polk towers and the rp 500 c two center channel With such a small space for the system and having dual 12 inch subs i figure I can easily get away with the 600m as the front left and right channels.

That’s great to hear Johnny . Glad you’re enjoying your set up.

I recently just "upgraded" my front soundstage from the THX Ultra IIs to the RP-8060FA IIs and RP-504C II. And this morning my 2 new RP-1600SWs showed up to replace my 2 R-115SWs (I just recently traded the THX Ultra II subs and amp for the new RP subs... I have an open floor plan and the old subs just never really filled the space like I wanted. Not to mention the subs have blown at least once in all of my subs, including the THX Ultra II). Although looking solely at speaker quality, some might say this might be a step back, I can say that the new speakers provide a much more full sound than the Ultra IIs did. I always felt the Ultra IIs were lacking in the mid to low bass sound, and I had to really pump the subwoofers to make up for it. With the 8" speakers in the 8060s, it feels like a much more balanced sound than before. So far, I'm really happy with the swap, and I can't wait to get the new subs unboxed and set up later today!

The acoustics of your room will play a bigger role, and how the speaker sound and perform than any settings. I would begin there, especially if you have a slap echo.

I recently went with Paradigm Premier 800f along with the larger matching center 600c?, and the larger matching bookshelf for rears. Skipped atmos for now as my room is similar to yours but smaller. Almost went with these Klipsch instead but I do love the Paradigms. Curious how they would compare. Love your setup.

LOL, the part about the wife giving a "NO" to the acoustic treatment... I think we can all relate to that one!

Actually just bought some of the gen 2’s yesterday to replace my 20 year old system. Excited doesn’t begin to describe it. LG G3 65”, 2x 8000F II, 504C II, 2x 500M II, RP1200SW, and Denon X3800H.

I hear everywhere that SVS delivers better subs than Klipsch and that makes me doubt. I also doubt between the closed SB and open PB from SVS.

Which is better klipchs or Polk audio speakers thinking 🤔

even if there is no sound setup in a room. accoustik treatment makes it so much nicer to talk to one another. the disturbing sounds are so much less anoying like a vacuum cleaner / espresso machine / hairdryer etc. I would strongly recommend that everyone tries to get something done in their rooms.

@@Youthman For a friend of mine we build a Lamp System that lights his living room indirectly while also working double duty as a Basotect Absorber. He has 8 Absorbers connected by diffusors. It coveres around 50% of his ceiling and looks great. You lose 6-8 inches of height but i can see something like that working great in many rooms. Gives a nice Modern Look with Wood accents. The basotect absorbers are in a wooden framed covered by a nice looking cloth. The Diffusors are not calculated as they are angled etc. but well they are better then nothing. The Ceiling is the most problematic thing in most rooms. So it was a big giant upgrade. Also having Basstraps invisible by a shelf that sits in a 45 degree angle against the corners works really well.

should i get a UST for my living room or should I get a 100in TV

I personally don't like speakers that a blanket is over them, I think Focal Chora speakers would take these to the shed! But I would take Klipsch over Polk though. I have Klipsch R-120SW subwoofers myself in bedroom, and SVS sub in living room.

I have the full Klipsch RP II line with 2 of their SPL-150 subs. They are fantastic in the small home theater space I’m framing out, I was curious though, what’s the best method for calibrating the setup? Unfortunately I walled off the av cabinet in another room so I can’t run the audyseey configuration that came with my Marantz SR8015 as the cable would need to be very long and run through a wall. Any advice?

Hello Mr Youthman. Is there any benefits to have all your system speakers the very same? ( I have 6 400m speakers as Atmos and surrounds) My main fronts are 8000f. I'm asking you because you're both Klipsch and home theater expert. Do I go with ALL RP 400m and get a better "integration" or is better to stick with my main towers the same. Also if you have the time, can you share what acoustic panel did your wife took from you. ( I have the same restrictions at home😅)This video gives me the idea of maybe I can hang it only when listen to music and took of the rest of time. Thanks for the video and for your time.

That’s a great question. Some of the most immersive systems I have heard had identical speakers all around. Check out Jonathan’s home theater tour here. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oGqDtZmehbzccrQ.html With that said, I personally would rather have RP8000F as my mains Vs RP400M.

Good morning, Thank you for this test. I would like to ask you if you are familiar with the Tannoy revolution xt6f and xt8f and what do you think of these speakers compared to the Klipsch reference 8000F II or Polk R700. Would it be a good idea to replace the Tannoys with these Klipschs? THANKS

Sir, i was looking to buy latest klipsch reference premiere series speakers for our new home theatre setup. But then a speaker dealer told me that klipsch will sound too harsh and in the long run will create fatigue and even hearing loss, because of the horn tweeters. I know that there has been criticism of the harshness of klipsch speakers, but then in a forum i found that starting from the reference premiere line of speakers, they have been refined to the point that there is almost no harshness unlike their earlier series. And since now there is already the second iteration of the RP series available, would you suggest me to confidently go with new RP line of speakers without worrying of the harshness issue?

@Youthman

2 ай бұрын

I've personally owned over 50 pair of Klipsch speakers - kzread.info/dash/bejne/hnehyqx6YZrRe5M.html I can tell you the Reference Premiere have a much smoother top end than older Klipsch speakers (like the original RF7's which were EXTREMELY bright...even to me). No one can tell you if a speaker will be too harsh for you. Some like a laid back sound, while others like a speaker that has an elevated top end. I have always enjoyed brighter sounding speakers. With Klipsch, you either love them or hate them. You either enjoy the clarity, detail and dynamics from the horn, or you find them like nails on a chalkboard. I have never found someone in between. But only you can decide which side of the fence you are on. Keep in mind, most dealers sell what they prefer or sometimes what is more profitable for them. The best advice is to go hear them for yourself and let your ears determine what you prefer instead of allowing a dealer to tell you what they think you will like better.

Last I heard from Klipsch, they do not have any current plans to replace the RF-7 III and they are Klipsch's flagship reference speaker (not including Heritage or Cinema series). D&M do not sell speakers. If you are referring to their parent company, Sound United, they sell Polk, Boston Acoustics and Bowers & Wilkins. Onkyo doesn't own Klipsch. Both Klipsch and Onkyo are owned by Voxx International.

No other KZread reviewer has shown that information. Does Klipsch prevent this info from being shown? In my room, the RP-500SA can do 80Hz-20kHz on ‘surround’ mode. I can push it to 60Hz, but I haven’t turned off the other speakers to hear how it sounds during a movie or music. No idea if 60Hz is worth it, tonally.

I have no complaints except two months later they came out with the mark ll RP line and if I would have known I probably would have waited.
