LuckyOne Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Hey, So I am a complete beginner here, looking for advice. I have Denon 1600h receiver and I am looking for Klipsch speakers to pair it up with. As this is a 7.2ch receiver, I will gradually build the whole system, but currently I am looking for bookshelf speakers to start with. I am thinking about Klipsch r-51-m OR rp-500M. Does it make any sense? Which one would be better? What should I consider? Or would you suggest something completely different? I have a turntable and would mostly use the speakers to listen to music, but I also watch Netflix, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 You have to go listen and buy what you like. No one else hears how you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeloManiac Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The RP 500m speakers are great to start with and can later become part of a 7.1 system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artto Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Generally speaking, personally, I don't like using multi-channel AV receivers for music. They always seem to be adding some sort of processing to the signal path and the so-called "pure audio" (if the receiver has it) almost never is as good as a regular 2-channel amp. Think about it. There's so much "stuff" on these modern receivers. And at the price point these products shoot for, there's going to be compromises, especially when it comes to just music. FWIW I never listen to music on the HT system, other than FM or streaming radio as background music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check connections, switch left and right, verify source. Did you buy the 51rm new?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your speaker model, there’s no such thing as an R 51RM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
