Nice comparison, you gave the best qualities of the speakers in a very logical and intelligent way. Great job. Just subscribed
Amazing video as always
Pure speaker reviews, allowing the viewers to confirm and judge by themselves.
That's the job 👍🏾
Thank you! I enjoy your comparisons probably more than your sound demonstrations. That being said, I still really like your sound demos! I think I have my heart set on the B&W. And I owe a lot of my decision thanks to you!!!
Edmund Gil any regrets?
Nicely done, thank you sharing.
You know what man?........been watching your channel for a while,,,,,,,,,,,one word---------- Respect.
You always do great work on your videos, Thank You! A pair of the RP-600M speakers are on my list.
Great information recently purchased RP600'S and im very satisfied great speakers driven by Onkyo A9150 for now
Thanks. Very good as always.
Thanks for your work. Keep doing!
Good job Thamar ! I wish you'd try out the Polk LSIM so smooth with crazy bass and crazy build quality also !! If you live in US , maybe we both can save money and send each other different stuff to review , Now that i have 4 power amps 3 preamps 3 recievers and 2 integrated amps i will be reviewing alot of speakers i just needed Cool-netural-warm sounding amplifiers for a very good review in all 3 sound signatures ,
picked up new RP-600M for $429 new from Crutchfield last March. I also have B&W 607s as well, both sound great to me.
I have noticed the vintage amps with big smooth rich sound signature brings klispch alive !!
Will u describe rp600 as fatiguing?
I have the 607’s. Got some 500M to compare and sent them back. Nice Bass but midrange lacking
@@str3460 damm right after hearing them on classic rock for week i returned all 4. Sure i lost 20% but, great speakers if your in 20 something drinking, they can crank and sound well, but if your not drunk listening lound after 2 - 3 songs it's to hard on the ears.
I like how you showed that the 600m has the same crossover as the 160m only difference i have seen in my research is cooled tweeter and most likely a 8-10 watt resistor to the tweeter instead of 12 watt resistor on 160m my ? Is whats you opinion of 160m vs 600m Remb the 160m has bottom angled plate for better imaging when standing above the tweeter , thanks again your doing a great job man !!!😆
Hey Tharbamar,
I recently compared (in store) the 706 S2 against similarly priced Totem Sky (which I own) and found the bass to be faster and tighter on the Sky. Compared to the Sky there was a slight overall muddiness with the 706. BUT...I do think, that being said, I might still prefer the 706 as they have a fuller sound with wider sound stage and smoother upper mids and treble (better tweeter). Would need an in home demo or for you to get hold of a pair of Skys and save me the trouble. One thing I do like about the Skys is their small footprint on the other hand my room is rather large and the 5'' mid/bass driver struggles to fill it.
Tharbamar your score is off the chart . Keep up the work.
I like watching your reviews and appreciate the time you put in to bring us reviews. I must say that this wasn't my favorite comparison because the Wharfedale has a tag-team partner. I mentioned it in the initial review as so have a few others. The Super Tweeter should have been left out of the comparison.
Hello!Don't You would like test loudspeakers from german companies like elac, heco, canton?
After my beloved wharfedale I changed to Heco elementa 300, smooth and linear in bass (not boomy or lift freqs in the bass range) but very deep.Mids opened, tight, articulated. Highs so precise, very good and opened.
Tharbamar, you’re channel is so addicting. Keep up the good work. I wish there was some way you could try the Ohm Microwalsh Tall speakers. Or the 1000’s if you’re den is too big for the Talls.
nicely presented review , when I owned klipsch products in the past I was able to tame the harshness and listener fatigue issues with lower powered luxman amplification(not alpine lux) . The rp600s are smoother than most previous Klipsch speakers so the luxman combination should prove magical. big value..
I'd be curious to see what your thoughts are on the Klipsch RP 600 and 8000F after reviewing many other speakers, could you do a video revisiting these?
Hi Tharbamar, I really appreciated your recent comparisons, Wharfedale 225 & Aperion /RP 600M/ Bowers 706.
In the past you had presented a video on the Kef R300 These bookshelf speakers had also impressed me a lot.
How would you compare them with the 706 Bowers?
Thank you in advance my friend
Claude
claude darveau R300 is very good but in the long run I like two way speakers for my music. 706S2 Bass is cleaner and tighter but I like the highs on R300 a little more than 706 S2. Midrange is comparable, thanks
Have you tried connecting the Aperion to the RP 600M?
Good job with the review and comparison some of the very most challenging things to do in my opinion is the compare sound in general especially speakers and I’ll tell you why. Unlike television do you have visual cues you can do a side-by-side comparison on show charts about colors and black levels and all that stuff but what sound it really is as much a perceptional overview as it is scientific
I have a Yamaha as 810 integrated amp. I find that amps also make a difference when comparing warmer speakers to vivid speakers. Amps that are tilted to the brighter side of tone when matched with Klipsch rp 160s tend to play higher tones tweeter wise a bit brittle for me especially at higher volumes. Mid range is also compromised. I am wondering if in such cases, in your experience do, the Wharfedales make for a better match on "brighter" or more clinical (less musical)sounding amps.
Thank you!
CM Kilcullen Yes Wharfedale should match well for that purpose, thanks
Totally agreed. 👍👍
What song is that at the end?
Perhaps all to do with the music one is listen to.... l use to have IMF TLS80’s. I now use 600M’s with JBL SB-2 sub Bass with 35w Tube amp - superb!
Klipsh for the win!! NICE VIDEO :D
when u going to review the tannoy XT and Wharfedale new EVO ...? looking forward for it..
Hopefully soon, thanks
Can you compare klipsch vs kef 600m vs r300 thx bre
how do these compare with the stage 130?
Interesting.
are the tweeter too bright? do you get fatigue when using for music?
What about in a home theater setting? Dispersion? I only heard you discuss differences in a stereo music setting. Thanks.
home theater any speaker will do the job for quality is based more on music............on movies even sat speakers does it job.......
Is the svs amplifier sound good with the klipsch 600m?
Do you ever review Martin Logan speakers?
Yes I did long time ago for ML Electro Static speakers.
I’ll keep Both of them
Hows the LS-50 compare against 600m? And how much better is the 600m vs 160m ? Thanks buddy great job again !!
Is this my memory test? It’s been a while man.
Personally I still love LS50, it’s one of my all time favorite, I like LS50 for my music listening and RP600M for movies and and all around purpose.
RP600M is more vivid and dynamic sound than LS50 but LS50 have better sound quality in midrange and highs, overall tone and texture is more towards higher end.
600&160m, 600m is more refined and easier on ears than 160m but some may prefer 160m for old Klipsch sound signature, personally I like 600m if I have to choose one.
If you’re not crazy picky like me, 600m or q350 is better buy than LS50, thanks
@@Tharbamar lol 😆 thanks buddy !
How would you compare the klipsch against the svs ultra speakers?
Why can’t any of the reviews be comparing the 600m vs JBL 530? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks
Cause JBL makes best speakers in all price range.
The RP-600m has my curiosity. I rotate Adam Audio T7v's, JBL LSR 308's and Emotiva 4s pro's on my desk and am currently listening to the Emotiva B1's on an Adcom 545 on the desk and enjoy the extra power and headroom of the Adcom and am curious about the presentation of the horn speakers in near field.
Horn speakers are awful in near field.
Klipsch rocks
Audio Electronics Too bright.
I kid.
Buchardt S400 mk2 review pls
Please do a Wharfedale Denton 85th model review.. compare to RP600M or B&W, that would be interesting!
I have heard the Denton's are much more warm and would probably be much less high-end action than these two. More midrange and neutral sounding.
The 80th model does have laid-back and warm sound. But i heard that 85th has a quite different sound from 80th.. Some review says the 85th has strong bass and bright highs, not laid-back and warm.. That's why I asked him to do a review for that..
I got the 706s and the cone material is very light. Probably a quarter the weight of the metal Klipsch cone material. This is probably why you found the bass to be faster.
Yes, they are one of the best drivers.
compare with Focal Aria 906...
Hi Tharbamar, I like watching your channel . regards from ISRAEL
Thank you.
I got the Klipsch RP-600m to check them out because all the UA-cam guys were going nuts for them. I don’t get it. They were just ok so I returned them. You can get the Magnipan LRS for not much more. And those blow these out of the freaking water for most types of music
I had the same thoughts as you. I went through all five of my amps with these speakers and they all sounded hollow. Then I came across a nad314 35wpc and these speakers came to life and totally changed my opinion. Even though the specs would dictate that they should be easy to match with any amp in my experience they were picky.
The klipsch rp600m with the nad c316bee is amazing. Easily produces 80db+ volume levels in my 16 x 19 x 11 listening room. Very happy for the money. This is where the law of diminishing returns begins.
@@steveearnshaw2216 nope
Unfortunately, Magnapan says the LRS requires very expensive amplification to perform at their best. This thread is about synergy between lower priced speakers and amps.
How does the Klipsch compare to the Triangle Comete Ez?
The Klipsch give you great value for your money but for me as a home cinema fan the Klipsch are too harsh at high volume. I have B&W CT 700 speakers. Ct 7.3, Ct 7.5.
Can't you just turn down the treble
SVS prime bookshelf vs klipsch rp600m
I feel if you got your pizza delivered late you'd be okay with it.
Wharfedale sound signature tend to warm sounding
I just saw the Klipsch for 300.00. Do i have to buy them?
@NON-POLAR PAUL Black Friday sale
Since Audiovox purchased Klipsch the evolution of the company has been to De-Horn the sound of the horn speakers that Paul Klipsch made famous and people loved for the distinct "horn sound". "Mumps" is yet another incarnation brought into the post Paul Klipsch company to De-Horn the sound of a horn speaker to make it sound more like a conventional speaker. Not good at all but Klipsch marketing uses videos like this to make the case that the present company is evolving instead of devolving the classic Klipsch sound. "It sounds better-trust what we're telling you!" Nope! Side by side the Klipsch Forte II sounds much better than the "wave guide horn" sound of the Forte III. Current Klipsch marketing would tell you this is not so but your ears tell you a different story. Also after Audiovox purchased Klipsch they have hyper-inflated Heritage model speaker pricing to recoup the money they spent acquiring the company. Forte II's msrp in the mid 1990's of a $1000 per pair are now priced at $4000 a pair for the Forte III - far inflating the price of the speakers of what normal inflation pricing would require in today's dollars.

Are you able to review the Microlab SOLO 7C speakers?
Not for me.
They're more commonly used as computer speakers than as hi-fi stereo speakers. Wrong kind of reviewer for a product like that.
How do they compare to the JBL Studio?
I like 530 more than RP600M personally.
@@Tharbamar
Well thank goodness for that! I would hate to tell my 590s they lost to a B/W. Or Klipsch!🤗🤗🤣😃😄😄🤣😂😂😉😉😁😁😎😨
@@Tharbamar how jbl 230 stack against rp600?
@@Tharbamar I don't.
No sound test?
A sound test is totally irrelevant unless you're actually there.
Is the Rp600M better than Elan 6.2
@@marcgallant5270 I was set on the new Klipsch RP, but the Borea line seems like something I would enjoy too. Can the Borea's compete with the new RP for Home Theater use as well?
No sound demo?
If you care to look around I have more sound demo than anyone.
Who would have thought Klipsch overstates the sensitivity. I've been saying this for years.
what a music at the start?
How can a company claim 96 dB sensitivity if that's not really true?!? Should we not believe ANY manufacture's performance claims within this industry???
Klipsch=cowboy sound? :))) Others=gentleman? :)))
I compared the Klipsch to other speakers I have that are a different purpose. Klipsch are not as neutral as some (not a bad thing) and not the laid-back gentle boutique type. The 600m do not shout or have any harsh glare like older klipsch. They are the first klipsch in history that I can comfortably use nearfield. I am using a top notch dac, preamp and amp. There is no trace of fatigue. I get a very transparent, open and vivid realism that has pinpoint focus and supreme dynamics. I use mine with a 15" sub.
Dont buy any of these, save some money and buy some Active Gear from KSDigital like the C88. Even my RF7 has no Chance in any category. Maybe the typical ,,Hifi,, Stuff from Dali, Klipsch, Elac, B&W etc. looks better, but for an minimalistic Setup you get so much more for your Money in the Active Near / Midfield Market.... but there are not many who uses or even thinks about it to use Studio Gear in the Living Room
ATRS94 As far as I know KS Digital speakers are designed for near field listening.
Diamond 225 sounds better than rp600m.
Klipsch spec are not TRUE ?? So this company is lying to us because they show the pr-6000m at a sensitivity of 96db !!! From 96 db to 90 db it's day and night comparison and totally unacceptable.
i got for 340 euro lol
Very funny chinese!
Not every Asian is Chinese.
Haha , it’s true and not every Spanish is Mexican .
Sorry but I lost all confidence in you, most Klipsch do not sound natural, very compressed and sharp. The filters are dirt cheap, so logically losing a lot of finesse.
words, words, words...and no sound...
you complain before look or you don’t care to look around, I have more sound demo than anybody in my channel.
Klipsch speakers most of time have really shitty crrossovers . I don't think they are any good don't buy.
