Klipsch R-52C Powerful detailed Center Channel Home Speaker - Black.

The towers are also toed-in enough to not completely blast whomever is sitting there. So far I am happy with everything. The speakers sound great, the subs rumble well, just trying to figure out all the settings (why does 'Pure Direct' disable subs!?)

The toe-in on those L&R is too much considering the wide variety of seating angles in that room.... even for the person that sits dead center, it's too much. I'd try adjusting that a bit.

<div class="md"><p>The toe-in on those L&amp;R is too much considering the wide variety of seating angles in that room.... even for the person that sits dead center, it&#39;s too much. I&#39;d try adjusting that a bit.</p>
</div>

My new 5.2.2 basement setup:

 It took a while for me to get the R 52C adjusted to where it sounds balanced and good. I played around with audyssey and also with the manual equalizer. I had to turn down the treble on the center channel to make it sound good. But by separating the equalizer by channel and setting it for each, I lost my surrounds

  It does make good quality dialogue sound good, but it makes lower quality dialogue sound bad and boxy as some have reported. If the treble is a little high or bad from the source, the voices sound screechy. But if the treble is well adjusted and good from the source, it gives the voices more body and sounds good. That's also true on my Cerwin Vegas

 For example a movie which is in stereo and only plays on the front speakers.  I've always believed that a good audio system makes bad sounds sound worse, not better. It took a while for me to get the R 52C adjusted to where it sounds balanced and good. I played around with audyssey and also with the manual equalizer

  The sensitivity rating is 95%, which makes it more compatible with my Cewrin Vega fronts which also have a 95% sensitivity rating. The dialogue volume stays up when music and everything else goes up during high action scenes. As per my wife, the sound is more clear and more understandable, which I agree. It's a good improvement from my old center speaker which had an 89% sensitivity rating, but it's not as crisp to me as some have said

Sound Quality

This was a great replacement to my Klipsch satellite speaker from my 2.1THX system for my computer. I was using that satellite speaker for about 3 years as my center channel. It worked ok while it was there but then came this

 This has brought things together for me and I thought I would have to go all kliipsch to do so. No I am doing fine with Bose 4001 direct reflect and this one. It is a match made in heaven. The Bose have enough bass to cover not having a sub

Money well spent

What do you guys think of my Dolby Atmos setup. Actually i live in rented house so cannot put speakers in wall or mount them. Apart from that I read that normal speakers can behave as atmos. So i used my jamo satellite speakers as atmos speakers.

 Using as a center channel in a Dolby Audio music channel sound is clear and tight. Highs are a little high, but the bass from the dual woofers isn't overpowering and blends well with other channels.  I haven't pushed the speaker to the limit but have run it at about 70% continuous on 100 wattx7 channel A/V receiver and never saw any indication that this was going to give out.

This center channel speaker is very clear presenting home theater vocals. Dialog from movies and TV are clear without being overpowering. Using as a center channel in a Dolby Audio music channel sound is clear and tight. Highs are a little high, but the bass from the dual woofers isn't overpowering and blends well with other channels

Perfect center channel for mid level home theater

I am somewhat disappointed with the new speakers but it is a definite improvement on the hodge-podge system I had before. The new Klipsch are a bit punchy to my ear but I honestly don't know if I really have the palate to tell. Still, the room is not very deep, so the sound fills the area well.

My improvised cat protection system does the job! Thoughts?

It's pretty good I refuse to say "good for the money" cause money games hard now-a days however it has a slight, faint boxy sound, otherwise you hear all the highs seems to open up another dimension to your music you hear stuff, good stuff you my not have heard before, man if they would just do something about that boxy hollow sound at low volumes, it's loud, put it like this it's a great compliment to some good tower speakers.

BOXY SOUNDING BUT GOOD

Hello together,. I was directed here by BudgetAudiophile. **Starting point:** For the last 10 years I had a Teufel 5.1 System (Concept E 400, don't laugh pls), where I replaced the center at some point with a Klipsch R-52C 

Hi, I'm kitting out a home office and I'm trying to decide on a pair of speakers to use connected to my MacBook Pro to listen to music whilst working.

I had narrowed it down to AudioEngine A5+ and Kanto YU 6. Can anyone offer advice on which would be better?

I also wasn't sure if either of these are too big or ok for a desk setup. 

If I've missed anything do share!

This is a bit of a different question, I have a pair of Klipsch R-41pm speakers that are hooked up to my PC via USB audio, leaving the aux jack open. I also have a PS5 that has no audio out jacks.

So my genius plan was to hook up the speakers to the PS5 using my monitor as the middle man, since the HDMI cable allows sound and the monitor has a headphone jack.

Well plugging the monitor into the speakers just gives me a quiet but high pitched whine. So I assumed maybe there was no audio at all. I unplugged from the speakers and plugged into a pair of headphones (still connected to the monitor) and I was getting audio through the headphones. I swapped the cables too, just incase it was a cable thing but no dice.

So for whatever reason my speakers aren't getting any sound through Aux while my headphones will. I have it set to Aux, tried messing with a few settings, but got nothing. Has anyone run into similar issues?

Edit: I'm a fucking idiot and didn't realize I needed to switch the audio output through the PS5 settings.

Hello,

Going straight to the point.

I currently own this setup:

* AudioTechnica Lp120USB turntable
* [Pioneer  A-10-K amplifier](https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/find_by_category/docs/A-10-K_DLPWXE_REV1%40150212_HR.pdf)
* [Tannoy Eclipse One Bookshelf Speakers](https://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/product/24333/tannoy-eclipse-one-black-oak-bookshelf-speakers-pair/)

I plan on buying a CD Player to connect to my amplifier, most likely this one:

* [YAMAHA CD-S300 Black](https://europe.yamaha.com/en/products/audio_visual/hifi_components/cd-s300/index.html)

Now, I'm not very happy with the range of frequencies of my speakers, especially on the low end. Therefore, I think I need to buy a subwoofer in order to get a full sound experience out of my setup.

My question is, my amplifier doesn't have a "Subwoofer out" (You can check the back panel of my amplifier and speakers in the links above)... So what solutions do I have for it? Are there any compatible subwoofers? Can I used the "Recorder out" for the subwoofer? Are there any subwoofers that I can just use the Speakers jacks? What alternatives do I have?

Thanks.

Hi. I have some Presonus Eris E5's (TRS and XLR in balanced, RCA unbalanced). I have a TV with Optical and "headphone" out. Currently using Using dual XLR to 3.5mm as it's the only thing allowing me to control the speaker audio from the remote. As you can imagine, the sound quality is meh at best. Can anyone recommend a solution?

I tried a 3.5mm to RCA DAC, but the TV started playing out the inbuilt speakers too and the volume buttons only affected the TV speakers.

Do I have to give up on using my speakers and just get a soundbar?

Hey guys, I have just purchased the KEF LS50 Wireless II's and while the speaker is great quality I find it a little lacking in the bass compartment. What is the best subwoofer you can recommend? I am in an apartment with neighbors so I don't need much bass, something simple yet high quality to compliment the speakers. Thank you.

What Sub would you buy to get a full frequency range 2.1 system paring it to a pair of KEF Q100? SVS SB 1000 Pro vs REL T5/i

I have a pair or KEF Q100 bookshelve speakers, and a Polk Audio PSW108 subwoofer in a music only listening room (no home theater or video interest!). The system sounds fairly good at the moment (at least for an entry level system and my inexperienced ears).


I've had this setup for almost a year now, the thing is that I have found myself investigating about hifi more and more everyday, and a couple of days ago I realized I'm probably not getting the full frequency spectrum in my system, and what I'm do getting is probably out of balance. Le me explain:


The Q100s have a rated frequency response of 49 - 40000 Hz. And the PSW108 is rated at 40 - 160 Hz. Both ratings represent their +- 3dB limits. And the lowest crossover frequency the PSW108 let's me set is 80Hz.


So, this means two things:


I'm only gaining about 9Hz with the PSW108, in terms of low frequency extension. From the 49Hz lowest frequency the Q100 can hit, to the 40Hz from the lowest PSW108 rating.

My sub and speakers are overlaping on frequencies from 49Hz to 80hz (the lowest crossover the sub let's me set).


Not only the sub is not giving me the low frequency extension I need to have a full frequency response system. But it's probably augmenting the frequencies from 49 to 80Hz creating a peak in that region.


At this point I just said, ok I need a new sub then, off to the forums and YouTube videos to choose the new member of the family. With around $500-$600 as the budget though.


One thing that I noticed right away was that the two main competitors seemed to be SVS vs REL. With REL being the most musical, quick and well integrated subs you can find for a stereo system.


So, following the advice from YouTube reviews, I checked the REL subs on Amazon and it seems like the one I could get for my budget is the T5i (at least from the ones marketed for music), which is rated -6 dB at 32Hz and a -3dB at around 40Hz, looking really similar to the PSW108 low frequency extension rating, again only giving me those 9 new hertz .


Given this, I continued searching for subs with lower frequency extension at that price range, and I found the SVS SB 1000 Pro. With good reviews and rated from 20hz to 160Hz, and it comes with a cool app to set up the sub making it ajustable to the room using DSP.


I'm not sure if there's something I'm not seeing because the obvious pick to me seems to be the SB1000, but everybody seems to agree that REL is the way to go when it comes to stereo. Is this assuming you can buy a higher tier REL?


I've also noticed that almost all the content in the web for sub reviews are more targeted towards home theater folks and don't really cover the 2.1 scenario so often.


So my questions are:

What would you do?

Is there another sub I should be taking into consideration?

Is there something I'm missing in my train of thoughts regarding this sub-speakers integration?


Thank you very much for you answers in advance :)

Hi, I wanted to know if the Marshall Stanmore II or Woburn II are worth it? And what else I would need to get the best sound out of them (assuming bluetooth probably isn’t highly regarded around here- although I honestly wouldn’t know).

Just to show what I know about quality: I am someone who at night sometimes plays music off my cheap-ass phone because headphones are uncomfortable when I sleep. Absolute beginner here, I just want to enjoy music better.

A Pc Speaker set up? 

So I've decided my pc set up is outdated, and I'm basically going to start from scratch. I wanna try for a much better quality build that'll last me many more years. I have my pc desk/tower set up at one end of my room, and my bed at the other, with a second screen above that I can use to watch movies while sitting on my bed (using a wireless keyboard).

All that is to say that I want to upgrade my entire set up, save for my monitors which work perfectly and are much newer, and that includes my sound system. Currently I basically have the cheapest Logitech computer speakers, I'm wondering what other options are out there. I'm not a sound engineer, so I don't know what the ideal is, but I would like to have a 6 speaker system. A sub woofer, like the one I have currently, a small sound bar right below my main monitor, two speakers at either side of the monitor, and two more above and to each side of my computer desk. I have adjustable shelves at either side for them to sit on. 

Would such a set up be a good fit for both close up gaming, and for movie watching? What speakers should I get for such a set up? What is the opinion here about mixing brands of speakers.? Would/should I get an Amp for my pc to run such a setup properly? Are there options that I can set up inside my computer case, or do I need a dedicated amplifier?

My budget for the whole set up is variable, and I don't mind buying it peice by peice and saving up. I don't need "gamer" speakers with leds and such. I'd say at the most, my whole budget I'd like to spend total is around $700. I already have a soundcard in my current set up that I can transfer over to my new pc build, if that helps at all.

<p>Would such a set up be a good fit for both close up gaming, and for movie watching? What speakers should I get for such a set up? What is the opinion here about mixing brands of speakers.? Would/should I get an Amp for my pc to run such a setup properly? Are there options that I can set up inside my computer case, or do I need a dedicated amplifier?</p>

<p>My budget for the whole set up is variable, and I don&#39;t mind buying it peice by peice and saving up. I don&#39;t need &quot;gamer&quot; speakers with leds and such. I&#39;d say at the most, my whole budget I&#39;d like to spend total is around $700. I already have a soundcard in my current set up that I can transfer over to my new pc build, if that helps at all.</p>

What's the difference between "flat" and "detail"

Someone said you need monitors for producing music because headphones aren't flat enough and you can judge the music better with a flat profile

On the other hand I heard people say that the sennheiser hd600 is bad for music because its flat and doesn't have any details in the high tones and speakers with a spike at the end are better


So where do I need a flat profile and where do I need spikes or details?

Hello together,

I was directed here by BudgetAudiophile.

**Starting point:** For the last 10 years I had a Teufel 5.1 System (Concept E 400, don't laugh pls), where I replaced the center at some point with a Klipsch R-52C . This has taken the whole thing to a new level for me. This year, the built in amplifier stopped to work properly (Sub isn't supplied anymore). Instead of replacing the power amp, i want to say goodbye to the 5.1 system and get something new.

In the meanwhile a grabbed a 2nd hand Denon AVR-X1600H. **So basically I have the X1600H and the Klipsch R-52C.**

**What I'm looking for: a decent pair of floor standing speakers.**

&#x200B;

* Budget and currency (seems like a given, but youd be surprised)
   * total 1500 EUR (\~1800 USD)
* In which country are you located
   * Germany
* Where can you buy from (ie which Amazon if any)
   * I think nearly everywhere
* What you want to use it for (music, movies, games, all of the above, etc)
   * Music (rap, soul, jazz) + Movies
* On a desk or in a room (or both)
   * Room
* How big of a space and how loud
   * 5m x 7m=35m² (\~376 feet², \~5,4 inch²)
   * Apartment in a complex, but well insulated.
   * On a scale from almost silent (1) to hearing loss (10): 6.5
   * Placement: [https://imgur.com/a/kuqQ0MR](https://imgur.com/a/kuqQ0MR) right and left of sideboard (palm tree must go)
   * Width of the speaker: max 29 cm (11,4 inches)

**My problem**: because of COVID19 almost all dealers closed here, no trial listening possible.

Since i am not a fan of much order retouring, I would like to rely on a recommendation from you guys.

**What I have found so far :**

* Klipsch RP-8000F
* Klipsch R-820F
* Wharfedale Evo 4.4
* Wharfedale Evo 4.3

Pro Klipsch: RP-8000F has a lot of very good reviews. Not sure about the 820F.

Con Klipsch: Both Klipsch are really close to my max. width. They are also really deep (44cm): this is 4 cm deeper than the TV sideboard and the distance I have to move them away from the wall is adding up to this. How much space behind the speaker is considerable?

Pro Wharfedale: More compact and a bit prettier. No Hole in the back (As I understood: they get the air from an opening around their bottom) --> easier for me to find the best place

Con Wharfedale: only a very view reviews.

&#x200B;

***I would be very pleased to receive any suggestions. Of course I'm also open for other manufacturers or products.***

Best Regards

Hello,

I currently own the following setup:

* AudioTechnica Lp120USB turntable
* \[Pioneer  A-10-K amplifier\]([https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/find\_by\_category/docs/A-10-K\_DLPWXE\_REV1%40150212\_HR.pdf](https://intl.pioneer-audiovisual.com/find_by_category/docs/A-10-K_DLPWXE_REV1%40150212_HR.pdf))
*  \[Tannoy Eclipse One Bookshelf Speakers\]([https://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/product/24333/tannoy-eclipse-one-black-oak-bookshelf-speakers-pair/](https://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/product/24333/tannoy-eclipse-one-black-oak-bookshelf-speakers-pair/))
* Just recently bought a \[Polk PSW10 Subwoofer\]([https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KVQBA/ref=cm\_sw\_r\_tw\_dp\_MCPD45AQN88HQJ2VC4Y4](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002KVQBA/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_MCPD45AQN88HQJ2VC4Y4))

Now, I  inherited a big and dusty CD collection from my dad and I want to put those CD's to good use, so I decided to buy a CD player to go well with my setup.

From the basic research that I've done, I can either buy a decent CD Player with integrated DAC, or I can buy a shitty CD player with a good external DAC, the problem is I don't know which option I can get most value from.

I really don't want to spend a lot, maybe around $200 or less if possible... Less than $150 would be ideal.

Do you guys have any suggestions on what I should go for? Do I have any other options?

Thanks a lot.

So here's my situation.

Currently own a Pro-ject debut carbon with a Kanto YU5 speaker system. I decided to finally buy a 2M Blue cartridge in my quest to optimize my  turntable system now that I'm a few years removed from making the jump into the entry level audiophile world, and am now in the market to upgrade my speaker system. I found a local seller moving a Kanto YU 6 speakers + sub 8 + speaker stands set (which I need to) for $500. It seems like a fair price to me. Any thoughts on this offer and setup? For reference, I primarily listen to hip hop, rock, and punk records.

I'm debating on keeping the YU5 partly because I would like to have another brand in the house with a distinct sound signature. I'm hoping to make this my primary TV system to go with my ps5. Some of the speakers I have come across are the Klipsch R-51M, Edifier S2000MK3, Audioengine 5+, Q Acoustics 3020i. Sonos 5. I also know that I'm essentially asking to build 2 comparable systems so there's that too.

 Any recommendations? Or should I just put this money towards getting a sub for my YU5?

Hi, I upgraded both my TV and my sound system

I hooked my new speakers (klipsch rf 3 ii) to my receiver (jvc rx-6012v, still gotta upgrade this one). The receiver was connected to my old TV with RCA. And it sounded amazing! So far so good.

I also bought a smart TV that doesn't have an RCA output only optical cable or HDMI arc. I bought an adapter from optical to RCA and the sound was considerbly worse (I compared it side by side)
I am wondering if its a problem with the TV or with the adapter? should I get an HDMI to RCA adapter instead? Will that improve the sound quality?

Thanks a lot!!

Does anyone have experience with JBL 4333b speakers? Haven't had a chance to hear them yet, but they seem pretty hard to come by and I was looking to upgrade to something like them or Cornwalls. Curious how they compare and if I would get an immediate sound upgrade over my Klipsch Quartets.

Hello good people. I currently run the Sony SSCS5 bookshelf speakers for my turntable set up (Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Evo + Sony STRDH190 Receiver) and was looking to possibly upgrade them. They sound great and I have no issues with them whatsoever but am playing around with making a considerable jump to some better speakers (preferably bookshelf). My budget is around $400. I would love to hear some recommendations on some decent speakers within my budget.

Currently have a Magni 3+ Heresy + Mani + Modi 3 stack, but I think I'd like to try out the Cambridge Audio AXA35 just in case I want to get speakers down the line.  Does anyone have experience with these two different configurations? Would I "lose" anything from going to the integrated Cambridge setup rather than the modular Schiit stack?

Currently looking to upgrade my onkyo 8020 (50 wpc / 8ohms) integrated amp & my Andrew Jones pioneer bookshelf speakers to the wharfedale linton heritage speakers and a yamaha s-a801 (100 wpc / 8ohms). 

My question is, if I wait a while to upgrade to the yamaha, will the lintons still be a big upgrade even if they’ll be a little under powered (but still within the recommended ratings) at first?

I’m wondering if it’s worthwhile to get the lintons now or wait & save to get them together with an upgraded integrated.

Also worth noting for the time being I’ll be living in an apartment & wont be listening frequently at loud volumes.

OP recommends Edifier R1280T for PC setups... but what about using them for a turntable setup (Audio-Technica LP60x)? I would also try to use it with my TV since the TV doesn't have good audio.

My other option would be the [Aura Studio 3](https://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-Aura-Studio-Lighting/dp/B086FS4BSV) that is being sold in my country at a similar price than the Edifier speakers. Which one would bring me more value? I'm a bit afraid that the Aura Studio is just one speaker and it would be place alongside the TV... is it even a good setup?

Hey all,

I am choosing between two gaming monitors and the only thing keeping me from choosing the one with better build quality and better colors (Monitor A)  is the difference in audio port.

One has audio line-out port while the one I really like only has an audio jack port.

I use an external speaker and I am able to connect it to Monitor B via audio line-out: audio in ports. But the only way I can connect the speakers to Monito A is via audio jack port: aux in on my speaker.

Is there a difference? It seems to me that the quality of audio I get from my speaker when connected to Monitor A is perceptibly worse than when its connected to Monitor B.

BTW, I use laptops with the monitors, so I don't have a PC tower to connect my speakers directly to. 

I'd appreciate your insight.
