Klipsch RP500M II Speaker Review, Why I Like More Than RP600M II

Hi Master, I just bought this 500M II for $350! I also like to get a mini amp to put on my working desk, is LOXJIE A30 good enough or you have other budget recommendation? Thank you.

Hi Master, would you pick 500M II or Triangle Br 03? mostly for JAZZ and light music. Thanks

Scooped up a pair that came on sale here, too cheap not to try out! I’ll report back, but sounds like they retain the fun of the original rp600m

Your reviews are on the top of my list for me. I don't know if you read the comments but I really liked the review you gave for the Wharfedale diamond 225 ( and the things you changed) and I like this review on the Klipsch 500m II. I'm looking to buy for a small room and I want to make the best choice between these two speakers, you seem to like, which of these speakers do you like the best. I know you've owned the 225 for years is that because it's the best for you? I found a new pair of 225's that I will need to make a choice quick before they are gone, the 500's are everywhere. Thanks

I just picked up a slightly used pair of these for $259 usd. I’m so excited to add them to my home theatre.

how do rp500m ii compare to polk r200 in sound quality alone?

What speaker stands are those? They're nice!!

Great video! I'm planning to buy this speaker with the Denon 600NE amp. Do you think that's good enough for a small room? Can you recommend me an amp around $400 for these speakers ?

what is the correct amplifier wattage for this speaker?

I love my classic rock and metal. I've very excited to get these. I'll be running them with the RP-600M and the 504C and the Onkyo TX-NR696 which I basically meant for the Klipsch line of speakers. It should sound incredible with a small amplifier. Great review. New sub here.

Do they come with the stands?

Hi, I'm new to speakers and I'm deciding between the 500m ii and 600m ii, i have a good deal both at the same price. As someone who loves the sound of Grado headphones, which one would you recommend?

The speakers are subliminally awesome musically.🙏🏿😍

Please review Dynaudio Emit 20!

Very good video, I'm already watching the others!. I have a home theater and I want to change all my speakers. I am between the svs system and the klipsch. I saw that you did a review of the svs prime bookshelf, between that and this, which is better?. Thank you!

Hard to condense what I would like to say. I love these! Had many speakers through the years and managed to compare these with several known speakers. I use them with a sub but they do very well even without. They seem to be less dependant on back wall positioning than most others I have used. There is a natural balance to the sound not unlike a few Monitor speakers I have liked. Listened to a Broadcast of a concert and really enjoyed all the detail and clarity - they do need a little while to 'burn in' but were soon really singing - still good straight out of the box though. For me they are the sweet spot in this range of Bookshelves

Thanks for your authentic review. We just bought these speakers over Kef and 600MII based on your assessment. We’re really enjoying the new Klipsch sound on these in our modest room setup. The value for money is excellent. Love your content and how you present in your videos. Happy New Year! 🎉

I like that audio cabinet, who makes it?

I’ve been listening and watching your reviews for years now. Thanks for remaining relevant and pointing us in the right direction. Happy Holidays!!!

Always appreciate your reviews, if you even get a chance to review Emotiva b1+ or b2+, curious about your opinion on their speakers.

Hi all
my opinion:
the high dynamic capacity of klipsh transducers usually generates hissing "S" and listening fatigue with low quality recordings. A big help in this case are tube amplifications, but which nevertheless have difficulty in controlling the modularity of the bass notes. I personally believe that combining horn drivers with traditional drivers, passive crossovers are not the ideal solution because the transit phase is perceptible.

Ok my first impressions:
racial appearance and almost perfect sound!
I would wish a more base, dense sound but horn tweeter does great job here - this is a star of the show and I like it much! and after first run it doesn't seem bright, we have details and sound is smooth for sure. If I have to compare these to for example quad S2 heh - no chance to listen them without eq! at first start! (I assum that we have got usual, budget equipment..).
I think I could live with it and enjoy listening my favorite music..but knowing life...😉

Did you ever test the JBL SA 750 Anniversary Amp?

Bought a pair. Sent them back. Terrible sound. And I’m a Klipsch fan.

I doubt the RP500M will play louder than the LS50s if driven by a very capable amp. I was blown away when I hooked my LS50s to my JC1 mono blocks to see what they can perform like when the amp can keep them in perfect control. I fed them well over 100 watts and the LS50s stayed super tight and clean at an insane volume for such small speakers. If small amps are used, then the RP500M should play louder than LS50s due to higher efficiency.

I have my computer linked to a $2500 DAC and stereo, and the sound was wonderful. I was surprised at the clarity of a female voice, even at high volumes. Luckily I got my order in before the walnut units are sold out for Christmas.

I bought entire setup 5.0.2 Klipsh RP 2 system
2xRP8000 Mark2
2xRP600M Mark2
2x500SA Mark2
1xRP504C Mark2

Plus SVS PB3000 sub.

Still didn't unboxed and set up Crossing fingers that sound quality will be good!

P.S.Can you tell your secret what is a brand for bookshelf speaker stands?
They looks awesome man!😊

Snowing outside too? Lucky :)

I like em

I ordered these after Your recommendation, I will see.. but I am scared! :-) Hehe

Thanks for the wonderful review of the rp-500m2, I also really enjoy Grace Mahya you demo'd as well.

I got the rp-500m2 for $359 in November and I've enjoyed it very much.

BTW, how does the rp-500m2 compared to JBL Studio 530 you had?

Hi ,could you make a review of the Chario constllation Delphinus please

Klipsch speakers...pissing off the neighbors since 1946!!

Great review, nice slippers and lovely snowy weather, seen through your windows. 👌

Which one would you prefer: Polk R100/200 or RP500m?

Happy holidays!

Gives that Christmas feeling with snow in the background, thanks to you I ordered this CD from Japan, sounds insanely good, thanks for the tip!

Very well presented & Compelling Video
Gentleman are you certain i should opt
for RP500 Mk II over RP600 MKII as I have no demo showroom near me
Thanks

Why Ladder Schumann my friend? Have you perhaps came to the conclusion that it's better than Gustard R26 after all?

Klipsch delivers excitement and engagement. But if the source has more high then Klipsch can be fatiguing. Thus need to place the speakers outward.

well presented video.... 👍 Top notch.
Was it rain or snow outside? lovely.

Is Musicians Knight 1 better than this Klipsch?

You could try this if you're wanting to increase the stereo image, get some stiff card 4-6mm thick cut it half moon so it's covering the woofer and coming in where the tweeter and woofer would meat have the widest part about 4" of its radius where the straight parties bend it 90°about an inch and make a brace by bending another piece of the card into a triangle attach with scotchtape/sellotape this to the centre and the lip you made, attach the card to the side of the speaker with a bead of blue tuck make sure you massage the blue tack first, place one on both sides. Should enhance the base a bit as well. Could try the card straight at the bottom and only bend at the top what will enhance a bass more.
Have you tried them on there side or even upside down?

Very nice review, these look like a lot of fun. How are they closer to a back wall?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I would like a set in Cherry.

Lets agree that the real star of the show here is your cozy looking slippers. You are an intriguing man, Tharbamar. I always enjoy your greetings, Cheers.

Thanks for the excellent review. Your comments are in line with CAM’s review of the RP500m mk1 being notably better than the RP600m mk1. It interesting that the 500s of both generations have a better synergy when compared to the more expensive 600. I have owned a pair of 600m mk1 for a few years, and since building a set of Criton 1TDX, I have retired them to my home theater. But they will never leave the stable!

Merry Christmas! Beautiful snow in the background.

Hey buddy! I haven’t watched one of your reviews in awhile. Getting back into audio again. How do you like these compared to the Quad S2’s? I know you loved them and I own a pair right now.
