Klipsch R-51M Reference 340-Watt Passive 2-Way 5-1/4" Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) EXPIRED

Worth the premium over r14?

I've been waiting for these to go on sale. Thanks OP

Just in time for my dad's birthday! Thanks OP!

Bright as 🌞. A little better than R41m that I have. I just took these back today. I think I want some Emotivas B1 +.

Are the kef q150's better than the Emotiva's?

I wouldnt go that far, but I do agree that Klipsch's reference series is a bit on the entry level end.

If you want solid audio products, Klipsch reference premier speakers are the way to go, designated by RP in the product name.

Simply outclasses reference series in every single way.

I only speakers. I purchased them from Best Buy last Christmas for the same price. I have thoroughly enjoyed them. They are a bit bright but adding a Subwoofer rounds out the sound perfectly.

Just get something like the klipsch r-41sa and mount on wall near ceiling. Matches these and most people agree its better than setting them on top of the bookshelf speakers to bounce the sound off the ceiling.

R14m is a very weak model to use as bookshelf unless use as satellite. Material and construction problems it is.

Well you have to understand we all define good and bad differently, not to mention words we use to describe what we are listening to, so you will get many opposing opinions.

In my experience your "7.1" or "Atmos Affect" setup is only as good as your core(5.1) setup.

Depending on what you have now, I would recommend building/upgrading to a good 5.1 setup 1st before moving up a 7.1 or Atmos affect one.

If you have a good one(5.1) already and ready to move up my suggestion would be look into Klipsch's PRO 160/180 in ceiling model and see if you can place them following Dolby's overhead 5.1.4 setup.

If you can't and still feel the need to upgrade, consider going to 7.1 following the suggested placement with the same speaker you have as your surrounds.

Placement is one of the critical things needed in getting the best performance out of your setup.

The SA model is an alternative for people that can't or won't do in ceiling, placement & angle is important for best performance which often is a big challenge in the average home.

In the end, performance will very widely from person to person with them.
