I had always wondered about the RP-500M but there are almost no reviews on this speaker. I really enjoyed this one. The singing made me LOL for almost a minute. I think this had got to be one of your best videos so far. Keep up the great work!
Save your $$$ and get the RP-150M instead then. They are the previous generation Reference Premier but have rave reviews all over YT.
I just ordered these from Crutchfield for $299 w/ free 2 day delivery.
I know very little about hifi but I have wanted a really nice pair of speakers since I was in 6th grade, so 1992. I had a buddy Tony in class who brought in his older brother’s stereo catalogues and we drooled over them during class. “My brother’s got Nakamichi stuff”
he’d say - meanwhile I had no clue who they were.
First song I will blast through them will be the one I’ve always said to myself, “Someday if I ever get really nice speakers I want to hear this song through them.” And that song is: The Happiest Days of Our Lives by Pink Floyd.
So excited for this! I’ve leaned a ton from your channel in the last few days. Thanks a bunch, Sauce Boss!
After trying a couple different set-ups I settled on the Klipsch RP-500M speakers paired with a 10” Klipsch SPL-100 subwoofer. Powering them with an Onkyo TX-8270 stereo receiver. At retail prices this speaker-sub combo would run close to $1000, but with enough shopping around I was able to get the speakers and sub around $700. Sounds great!
I have a Onkyo Intergrated Amp A 9150 with Klipsch RP 600's and it's not a disappointment at all congratulations on your arrangement.
Ah the days when MTV was worth watching. Love all your work Randy! Cheers from Canada!
I just bought brand new rp500ms for $279.00. The famous dip in midrange crossover is exactly what I like. It kept me from needing an equalizer to deemphasize midrange exactly where I always want it. That area of midrange is unpleasant to more than a handful of people. It's commonly unpleasant to people. Many people I know have always turned down midrange in that frequency area. I am not into big band music but I knew it would test the speakers about trumpets, trombone, tuba , piano etc you don't hear in rock music and they sounded fantastic. It made me wish I liked big band music. If people do , they will love the original rp600ms and 500ms. I know because I have both of them myself. They sound great playing big band music. Horns , violins , piano etc sounds great on them.
I bumped up from the RP-400M to the RP-500M and what a difference in sound! The midrange is certainly more apparent and at least in my setup/room the soundstage is so much fuller. I was not expecting that much of a difference in sound, but i was amazed at the difference!
Just ordered the 500M as it was on sale for $20 cheaper than the 400M, which is what I went to purchase. Sounds from your comment, I made the right choice.
Just made my decision with a set of klipsch RP500m went through 3 other top of the line bookshelf speakers that just didn’t hit them super clear notes on high volume..excellent quality speakers..quality review 👍💯
Thanks for helping me confirm this purchase. These are the speakers for my first proper system. I'm also getting the Wiim pro based on your review. Wish me luck.
I have these and the tower version (RP5000f) and I really like them. I haven’t yet heard anything that places performances “in the room” quite like these smaller/midsize Klipschs do. The tower version does a great job at adding the bass extension that the bookshelves are missing a little. However the bookshelves are incredibly easy to pair with a sub. Both are great and I’ll be keeping them for a long time.
I had an older set of KG 4.2. The RP5000F destroy them, and sound more "real". than any number of high end speakers I have owned and tried.
the RP500M could be my favorite small form factor speaker i love mine.
Very awesome if I were a Klipsch fan but man talk about entertainment, you should charge people just for your humor alone LOL have a great day buddy awesome job
I got RP150's. Basically the same speaker with less marketing speak on the tweeters. Love them.
The best speaker reviewers are also great music reviewers. Haven’t listed to Metallica in decades, but, man, you sold me (on Metallica, not the Klipsch). I don’t really dig RUclips “product reviewers,” but again, man, you sold me. Probably because your channel is really *about* something. And on top of that, you do excellent shout-outs to great organizations. Really good work.
Great review. Great product too. I have a pair. I was glad to hear you mention the Reisong was a good match with these. I bought the 500s because they were a better fit for my 10x12 office. They’re perfect. A tube amp is next on my bucket list. Thanks for another great review 👍
I love the Metallica sound effects🔥🔥🔥🔥
These are the ones for me too. Picked up a renewed pair and cannot wait.
A smaller 5" woofer can often have better midbass and midrange resolution than a 6.5" one, with less midrange suckout than the larger woofer has.
I am sure these will sound great also with a good vintage receiver or amplifier!
Why would you think that? I have a vintage 70s Pioneer with 65W per channel but I still hesitate to pair it with these speaker. I'm afraid the sound will be too bright and fatigue.
Lots of fun as usual. 21K! You’re still rollin bud!!
Our house-sitter ordered some food and the Grub Hub dude was super stoned and drove through our garage door last summer. Luckily they Grub Hub covered it.
Me too! Picked up 4 for side and rear surrounds to replace r15Ms. 👍🏻 great for the price imo. And they match my 450c center and rp280 towers. Front stage is on an XPA3. It’s all More than enough for me anyways. 4 Rp140 atmos speakers and Dual svs pb3000s to top it off. Marantz 6013 receiver for now. Would like to go to a dedicated processor and another external amp for the small speakers eventually. Keep up the great work man! You’ve helped me put it together along the way!
My personal Rp500MII update: They are better than the 600MII. The smaller woofer integrates better with the tweeter than the larger 600MII. Cleaner overall. I'm using a pair of rp500MII as my HT surrounds, I'm using the other pair as desk top speakers powered by the insanely good for the money SMSL DA9. Since I got the 500MII on sale, I just created something like "The sixes" for a fraction of the cost. They do sound better than the fives. Also have a 15" sub with them. Crystalline sound.
Just wanted to say I think you're a cool guy Randy ! 😎
Really enjoying your work.
Thanks ! From UK.
Great review & I appreciated the eq tips for the midrange. I just completed an Reference Premier Series surround set up starting with the RP 8000F towers. I considered the version 2 of these that just came out last year but the original version (I think it came out in 2018) being half the price & virtually the same in specs made me go for the original. I saw a comparison video of these and the version 2 side by side with various music blasting away. Obviously it didn't help me listening to that on my phone speaker but I still did notice one subtle difference that the reviewers (Pacudah I believe) pointed out - the midrange at times in particular with vocals. Sounded slightly more "opened up" & less bright. Just slightly though...and tbh for my taste (always liking the U or V shaped EQ sound, one of the reasons I went with Klipsch) that difference at times made me like the original half priced version better, but sometimes the V2 Sounded a teeny bit better. Sounded so slight to me I thought I could just tweak the midrange frequency eq a bit and then there would be minimal or much less noticeable difference to my ears. I believe the only changes to the V2 include a slightly larger horn, an extra port in the back for the tweeter, and a tweaked tweeter crossover. Actually spec wise the V2 bass went up from 32 to 35 hz. And they may have added some bracing inside the cabinet. Otherwise no difference to them. Without having both side by side however, in my small listening area too where I normally can't blast it like Pacudah did, I am just thrilled with how much better the 8000Fs sound in every way, including midrange, compared to what I upgraded from (11 yr old entry level Polk TSI 400). I doubt I'd really feel any better about what I'm hearing if I paid twice the price for the V2. Especially if the only subtle audible difference could be minimized with some basic eq tweaks like you mentioned. I just ordered the other original RP surround speakers, these RP500M bookshelves for rear surrounds, RP500C center channel & RP500SA Atmos. Had I opted for the V2 towers I would have been inclined to get the V2s on the surrounds, each also about twice the price. So overall the difference is more than I'd need to get a new TV (holding off on that now though, I must stop the spending for a bit lol). I had Polk T15 bookshelves for rears (and the RP500Ms came today) so I will be doing what I did with the 8000F and do my own side by side comparison - when I did this for the towers, it was a night & day difference so I believe the same will be the case with the bookshelf speakers "battle" I have today. The Polk TSI center was very solid (CS20) so not sure how much of a difference the RP500C will make (comes tomorrow), but I imagine it should also sound better - at the very least due to the higher sensitivity helping make dialogue a bit clearer & louder. I also made the mistake of getting the Klipsch R41SA Atmos about a month ago but am returning those & getting the RP500SAs tomorrow as well. Maybe no difference will be heard with Atmos speakers but I prefer having the surround speakers all be in the same series. I am also getting Outlaw amps just for these giant RP8000Fs to give them more juice for 2.0 music, which also frees up my AVR (Yamaha Aventage A2A) to give more juice to the center & rears + atmos when using home theater (5.1.2). Only thing I'm not going Klipsch with is the sub, I recently upgraded from a Polk "boom box" sub PSW505 to SVS SB3000 that blows it away, and blends in perfectly with the Klipsch. Most music I listen to is 2.0, another reason for the 8000F was their bass being more than enough for my taste in music. Home theater a different story of course with LFE so the SVS is used there with crossovers of 60 hz for the towers & 80hz for the rest. Access to all of these reviews on line including yours has been a huge help for me to make a decision & start enjoying a much improved listening experience, without detailed reviews like yours I'd probably still be in Analysis Paralysis mode.
When I put them in my man cave (literally a cave with rock walls and dirt floor) they sounded a bit echo-ie. I should do some cave treatment to deaden the rocks but, I like the general vibe so, theres that.
I can't imagine getting bookshelf speakers that aren't powered. The Klipsch RP41s even have an internal DAC and the remote has sub volume control. The speakers raise their own crossover when they detect the sub and send a low pass signal to sub set at full range. Perfect for my little man cave/game room. The living room gets the four-way Klipsch towers, DAC and receiver.
Price/performance, active speakers are the way to go and probably the way of the future. Bi amped internally with perfect pairing of power per driver and active dsp (some do crazy eq that doesn’t change phase, only amplitude). My cheap JBL 305p are amazing at my desk. Think I’ll have to try them in the living room.
Carl Sitler- four-way Klipsch towers, sounds interesting what are the model numbers? I've got to check these out. Long time Klipsch fan, thanks.
I use the discontinued version (150m's) as surrounds in my home theater and the ypao room correction from my Yamaha avr boosted the 500 hz range a bit and lowered the 2000 hz range, I found I actually preferred keeping 500 hz a bit lower and boosting the whole 1-4k range a bit. Seems like I personally like to further exemplify the Klipsch sound💪
WOW 21K SUBS! Congrats chief! Eh I mean Cheap.. Audioman...
Awesome works, been really enjoying your channel since early 2020.
I'm a Smiley :) EQ kind of guy, and my Klipsch RP-600M slightly toed out and past me so the sharpness is rounded off = perfect sound. Seriously considering RP-500M for a 2nd set of speakers.
So I listened to some of your reference songs on my shitty system and fell back in love with my ARs
Tried these....the Triangle BR02 are better in every way for me except for the bass. Got a sub though.
Hi ... what would you think about some more how to videos for those of us learning the audiophile lingo and mechanics. Toe-in how far and how does one know where the right spot is. Setting levels on a sub. Speaker spacing ect...Good example of in this video defining shoutiness. I appreciate that. Thanks for the channel it’s my favorite right now.
Great idea. Will do that for sure.
Congrats Randy! Great review. A hug from Chile. Happy Fourth of July 🇺🇸🎆🙌🏻❤️🎶💪🏻
Randy, You and I have similar tastes in music.
I also like that Klipsch "Ebony" with the silvery grain. I have a pair of RP-600M with a RP-504C for my TV.
Hi Kavin, What is your room size & what AVR ru using ?
@@simarjitsingh9975 Room is 19x21 feet.
Denon AVR-591 (10-years old).
RP-600m and RP-504c have been upgraded with GR-Research kits.
No subwoofer.
Rear speakers are Pinnacle PN-5+.
Hi, would these 500m go well with the RP-404C?
@@alexn2323 I would not be able to say since I've never listened to either of those models.
Hi, can you confirm if AVR-591 can push RP600m nicely? Thanks!
Thanks again for reviewing less common stuff :)
I'd like to know if these are comparable to the 600m at low volume listening. I live in an old apartment, so it's pretty important to me that they manage to be enjoyable even at low volumes.
Would the AXA35 from Cambridge be a good partner?
Amazing video as always buddy
Love to see a shoutout with the polk reserve line!
Hoping that someday, the @cheapaudioman would also review monitor speakers like KRK, Fostex, Yamaha etc.
I just bought them based on your recommendation for $269 at adorama. Can't wait to try my first Klipsch.
How did you get that price?
Haven’t seen that anywhere
@@benfongtorres9036 You have to call Adorama sales at 1-800-223-2500 and tell them you heard there was a call-in special on the RP-500m's for $269. If you want the 600m's those are $355. I'm very happy with my 500m's. No regrets.
Having the RP-5000F I can say the bass is really punchy and goes even lower to 35Hz. Can also confirm that they benefit from a bump on the mid-range with eq. Interestingly enough the RP-500C (center channel) has plenty mid range.
Cool. I want the RP-800.👍😉
My favorite "Yeah!" from Layne Status the intro to "Junk head" from the same album. Great song!
Looking forward to the Saturday Speaker Shootout (SSS? ...S³?). Also, my $600/pr Wharfedale Diamond 11.4s arrived a few days ago. It's a little awkward because they are the nicest thing in my house now. Me and the rest of my material possessions feel out of place, but the speakers sound great. All the mid (vocal/drum/guitar/etc) detail you could ask for packaged between well mannered but very capable highs and lows. I think you would have to put thousands of dollars into room treatment before these speakers would be your weak link. Thanks for the sale tip.
I really love them a lot.
'Sixteenth notes,' got my Randy Bingo! Enjoyed the cover version as well.
Klipsch and Reisong make my ears happy!
I’m considering upgrading the front speakers that came with my Klipsch “home theater in a box,” pack with something a bit higher performance. I’ve watched reviews (mostly on this channel but elsewhere too) for pretty much every speaker in my price range and I’m torn between these RP-500Ms and the Fluance Signature Hi-Fi. I have a sub so super low bass response isn’t really an issue, and the way my room is setup I can’t really get my fronts more than a foot from the wall.
Looking for something capable of doing double duties as the fronts in my surround setup for watching movies with the kids, but could also serve well for 2.1 music listening which would be mostly vinyl or CDs.
Any thoughts on RP500M vs. Fluance?
I’ve been watching this channel for about a year and REALLY appreciate your efforts to demystify this whole hobby and bring it to the people!
The treble segment song always makes my dogs heads turn lol
I picked these up from Best Buy for $216.99 last week.
These or the r51m?
Just grabbed myself an open box pair of these for £400. New to hi-fi systems but these seemed best suited to what I want to hear and how diverse my music taste is. Do you think a 35W per channel amp would be enough for these speakers? I like to listen moderately loud. Will be running a turntable for my vinyl and going to pick up a topping bc3 to Bluetooth Spotify over from my iPhone. The channels awesome man🤘🏼
I'd use a minimum of 50W per channel, if you like loudness music. But this depends of your ambient too. In a 3x3m space, 35W per channel can be enough, considering the 93db sensitivity.
Ports, when done right, are tuned to the woofer, and the box size, and improve and extend the low bass produced by the speaker, as well as improving the sensitivity, so it will play louder with less power
I need to replace my Klipsch RF 82 Tower speakers with something smaller because they're just too big can I use these as a replacement as long as I have a subwoofer?
Thanks
Can you look at the RP-150M sometime too. They sell for around 300 and are the father/mother to these.
The 150M is an excellent speaker. Cherry finish is quite nice. Mine are paired with an older HK AVR in a 3.1 setup in my living room. They do well on movies, tv, and 2 channel listening; sub suggested for impact.
Interesting I like the 150m more
Are you planning on reviewing the new Klipsch budget KD series that was recently released? It looks like a rebranded Jamo S series and if that’s the case that could be a pretty good budget speaker for those that prefer the Klipsch aesthetic. They are super cheap for the towers or the bookshelves so I may just have to buy some to try out. Only available at Walmart or on Klipsch’s website. :D
Nice video chiefaudioman!
I'm considering the RP 500M to complement my RP 404C centre and RP 400M's as surrounds.
Are you going to do (or have you done) a head-to-head of the RO500M & the RP500M II?
Great typical job CheapAudioMan..... Are these better than IYO, the Emotiva B1+s and /or the Emotiva T0+s?
Right now Amazon has the RP500 and an entry level Yamaha receiver in a bundle for $500!
That's all you need man! In 2019 I bought a Klipsch RP 600M + Yamaha receiver bundle for 600€ and it rips! For some reason Yamaha and Klipsch work well together.
@@user-xg6zz8qs3q Hell yeah! I spent ~$700 on RP500m + Yamaha RN303... all you need baby
glad to hear you finally hit puberty in this vid...
Crutchfield currently has these on closeout for $299. I am looking to integrate these into my system by replacing my polkaudio SS 5" shelf speakers with these. Due to space limitations, I'd have to put these sideways on a shelf unit. Do you see any problems with that? I also only have the older more traditional speaker wires in my older Denon unit. I assume these are compatible with the older tech? I predominately listen to records via a Technics SL-1900 with a Ortofon 2M Red. My thoughts are that I would eventually upgrade all the polkaudio speaks to Klipsch. BTW, I do have a dedicated sub. Thoughts?
How does the RP-500M compare to the R-51M? I had those for a few weeks and didn't really like them. They were fatiguing.
How does they sound with Playstation 5? I have Klipsch R-50M and system sounds of PS5, especially opening and closing menu tabs, sounds very harsh, sandy, unpleasant. I want to move them to surround position and buy some new front speakers, RP-500M would be great but I would like to make some progress with sound quality, especially with such high tones like PS5 menu produces :D
Hello Mr. CAM. 'Tis the season tyhese speakers are at $350 . .. . same as the KEF Q150. Do YOU like one better than the other? I can't listen before buying. Appreciate your time and all you do!
Which one do you recommend better, between the Klipsch rp 500m vs jbl studio 230? which has better LF and sound quality?
Hi there! Thank you for this review! Quick rookie question if anyone can answer. I am wanting to get back into listening to vinyl records again. Rn I have an old Harmon Kardon T40, no receiver. Do I need a receiver with these speakers? Thank you in advance!
I was able to get a pair of these for $329 last November!
Managed to snag a pair to at 400 quid. Retail 530 in the UK, never discounted too. I'm really hoping they sound good with my tube amp and not too bright 😖
What are your thoughts now?
@@tomsteger1 I like them, I have these and Elac debut's. I have them paired with the Willsington R8. On the 4 ohm tap, less music goes through the horns compared to the 8ohm tap, so they aren't bright. Compared to the elacs, Ill say they are clearer, more punch than the elacs (on the tube amp because they are easier to drive as being more sensitive) I havnt paired them with any of my AV amps just yet so I presume there will be more bass from the SS amps. Elacs for are alot better in sound separation and imaging but they require alot of current especially for the bass notes. Personally I don't think they are bright at all, they are slightly upped in treble but in a good way. If you have a tube amp, honestly can't go wrong. Good at low volumes too! I do think the Willsington R8 even at 25 watts is too much power for the klipsch, they are very sensitive.. can even hear the internal beeps of the cd player through the speakers !
@@2HatHudders Interesting your comments vs Elac debut. Can I ask do you have the Elac debut 5 or 6 and are they the original or mark ii? I have the original 5 and love them in everything except lack of treble response. I'm thinking of these as a possible upgrade do you think these could be what I'm looking for? Thanks, Rob
@@robertmarshall7712 hi Rob, I have the Elacs 5.2 mark 2. It really depends on your system. The Elacs mark 2's treble certainly doesn't lack but I havnt heard the original. Cheap audio man has compared the two, MK2 was more held back compared to the MK1. The way he described the Mk1 sound , it sounded more fun especially in the imaging department. I'd look at another speaker personally, the MK2 might be too similar to the MK1. the Klipsch really do much does have better clarity and sparkle. Might be a good alternative to swap out with he Elacs from time to time? I will say, since then I have paired the Klipsch to my Sony av receiver and I didn't like the sound at all. Just didn't fit, high treble, nice bass but mid range lacked so much I didn't listen to much more than 10 mins. My tube amp does push mid range, so the Klipsch sounds very good on the tube. Thought I should mention that.
i watched a couple of the klipsch vids the rb 51ll and rp 500m i am looking at rb61ll and rp 600 and the rp 500 ll in a couple of your videos you said sat speaker shootout between the klipsches but i never see it here ,did i miss it or was it just b.s never happened???not sure thanks randy take care
Confused what the screw mount is for on these, surely you don't want them mounted directly on the wall with one screw?
which are flat sounding speakers? I mean where midrange is not sacrificed. I havesub for low frequency. So good speakers with high and midrange not like V shaped or similar.
If you really need to raise the midrange FR maybe equalize or have them looked over by GR Audio
RBl Klipsch have weakish midrange. GR fixes that.
Outstanding review.
Do you have any plans on trying the clips r5000f speaker?
Not yet. Klipsch doesn’t send me anything to those would be tough to get a hold of
LOL! 'clips' : D
What's wrong with toto? Lol I love these for my rears ..I paid 400..Klipsch 450c center klipsch 625 towers with Niles amp..and marantz 5015..monolith thx 10 sub..sub is the bomb I only paid 450..now I think 550 but still good deal
@cheapaudioman could I power the RP 500m II with the Emotiva BasX TA-100 alone?
Can the rp500’s be used laying down on the side of the speaker? Would they need some type of rubber or foam to prevent vibration? Thanks in advance.
Great job!! Did you stream the music into your system or play from CD/Phono? Do you have a Spotify playlist for the songs you mentioned?
Loving my RB-81ii’s!
Bruh, You need to sing more on these reviews!!!! 👍👍👍
Ha
Would the Cambridge audio AXR100 a good match with these speakers? Tkx!!
Hi I know I'm spamming the same question under different videos, but maybe someone else will reply :)
What AMP would you recommend for this? I was looking at price level of Marantz PM6006, Denon PMA600, Taga Harmony Hta-800 or something cheaper like Fosi Audio DA 2120C DAC Amp.
25m2 room, 50/50 home theatre/music + a subwoofer in the future for parties and home theatre enhancement.
Good day sir could your recommend a pair of speakers for someone that mostly watches movies and plays video games on their pc. budget of 700$ for just the speakers. I'd likely attach a sub as well, separate budget
How does this compare to the 600m in a home theater front situation?
From one parent to another we love Happy Moms Melatonin 😂
Melatonin gummies are a damn lifesaver.
Would there be a big difference between the diamond 12.2 with a sub vs the diamond 12.1 with a sub in a small room?
Thanks you for your reviews.
I moved away from home theater about 10 years ago, but I am considering getting back into it.
In your opinion and experience, what bookshelf would work best for home theater? I am mostly concerned with dynamic compression and drivers crapping/bottoming out during loud peaks during a movie. I sold HiFi for just over a decade and I know Klipsch generally had better dymanics, where speakers like Sonus Faber and Vienna Acoustics would crap out WAAAAY to early (I refused to sell them because they just gave up too fast).
Thank you in advance.
I have a full RP set up. 6000fs, 250c, 500ms and the spl100. It does a great job for home theater. I’d probably recommend a different sub for the price like an svs, rhymik or hsu but for what I got I’m pleased with it. Very dynamic, for what it is, it hits pretty good down low and it didn’t break the bank. I just wish the sub dug deeper than 27hz. If possible getting a sub that plays down to 20hz is most recommended. Definitely need to hear before you buy though. The mids are a bit scooped compared to other speakers which works well for intelligibility but it’s not as full sounding for music depending on your tastes sound wise.
Oh also I’d recommend the larger center for a wider sweet spot and stronger low end performance.
If you manufactured audio hifi speakers would you allocate less than $15 on the internal electronic components? Cheap junk iron core inductors, cheap capacitors and resistors in the cross-overs, cheap ferro-magnetic terminal connections. No professional acoustic lining in the inside.
The profit margin on these babies must be huge
Please suggest a suitable substitute.
Hey Randy, please review some Edifiers - super popular on Amazon.
One of my first reviews was the r1700bts
As someone who gave his two year old melatonin last night so he could try out some new speakers, I feel this into.
Thank you Sir!
Hi, Randy. I'm a newbie in these. I have a Yamaha N303 receiver and I want to buy an acoustic.
Could you help me?
Monitor Audio Bronze 100 or Klipsch rp-500m?
Just snatched a pair for $250!
Has anyone have port chuffing with these speakers when playing bass heavy songs at louder volumes?
The Metallica reference sold me on these😂
How would they compare to the KEF q150?
On sale you may catch them at that price, that I've seen. I bought the 600s and returned them for the 500Ms..The 500s are a bit bigger making them harder to mount up high, but for the price point, these can't be beat.
What other amp good paired with rp500??
Yes.....yes they are.
You need to get into these.
Just picked up a pair of these for 316 bucks today. NEVER pay full price for speakers.
where at?
@@lampree London drugs in Canada Alberta. I quoted a USD price in Canadian dollars they are 399.99. That's 420 with tax until October 31st.
Great review but which do you prefer, the Jamo C93ii or the RP 500m ? Thanks!!
Good question. I’d have to do come more comparisons between the two
I'd like to know too!
