I can’t tell you how excited I am to have this on my desk

Sounds thick if that makes sense. Like peanut butter for your ears. Lol The speakers I’m running are Klipsch RP-500m ii and they can get kind of sharp at times. This kind of rounded them off and added some extra weight in the mids without stripping the Klipschs of what makes them good to me. Definit

New temporary house setup

$220 is a great deal for the older model. The RP-600M II are a clear improvement, but not for that difference in price. Keep in mind that the RP-600M (both older and new models) are huge and will take up a large amount of desk space. OP has the smaller RP-500M II.

New to turntable - help with set up for AT LP120xusb or alternatives

Get the Klipsch RP-500m II 100%, do not mess with the R50m. I sent my R50m back. The midrange is worth it on the RP. They are my daily drivers with a Fosi X2 and Sony STRDH190, very happy with that setup. Cant go wrong with Fosi.

Im looking for budget speakers for a small bedroom

I’d take a look at the Klipsch RP-500M II. They sound fantastic for the money and, in my opinion, look great too. You’ll need to pair them with an amp, but their high sensitivity means they’re easy to drive. If you’re on a tight budget, I’d go with a WiiM Amp. It should handle them nicely, and you a

Smoking Fluance RT85: Wrong Power Adapter used

Klipsch RP-500M II are ok when discounted at least 30% since Klipsch MSRP is rather overpriced. Klipsch and Ortofon are both on the bright side of neutral so you may want to switch one or both to warm or more neutral options if your ears are getting fatigued after an hour of listening. Klipsch can b

r/AudioEngineering Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

Hi, to start things off, I know nothing about how to properly hook up nice speakers, and I’ve just been gifted a set of Klipsch Rp-500M speakers. These are replacing what I can only describe as Sony boombox speakers from the late 90’s, so a big upgrade. I also received some 14/2 speaker wire to go w

Dj monitors paired with my Yamaha A-S501 ?

You have a solid reciever amp already, so you really don't need powered monitors. Get yourself some normal high fi book shelf speakers. Not sure of your budget, but I would suggest looking at the following and then picking up a powered sub as well. Elac Debut 3.0 63Klipsch RP-500MDali Oberon

Am I getting carried away?

I have a pair of the Klipsch RP-500M II in another room, I enjoy their sound profile for the most part. But I have not heard any Klipsch Heritage yet. I would have a chance to hear these Cornwall’s before I buy since they’re local to me. I just don’t want to waste the seller’s time if it’s an absurd

Audio side quest

That is a large living room. Unfortunately the Klipsch speakers are rear ported, and I have mine on approximately 60 cm tall Target stands. I have an open plan main floor, my audio listening rig is at the top of the L in an L shaped floor plan where the long side of the L is approximately 14.7m long

Just got a turntable

Like others say you'll need phono stage and an amp. You could go with a stereo reciver like the Sony DH190 which has plenty of power and a phono section. I recommend the Klipsh RP 500 MK II speakers. They are awesome and Klipsh did a really great job at making the mk II models. The new MKII RP model
