I order these speakers and they are perfect fit to my audio -technica 120x usb turntable and i can't believe how incredibly good they are .
Quick question, when you connected your atlp120xb to your speakers, did u flip the switches of both of them to line or phono?
@@amuexo8852 Did you ever get an answer on this? wondering the same thing
@@russellhuntley3334 Hey, yeah so you can do either. I tried line on both but I kept hearing a subtle hum but I when switched both of them to phono, the hum went away. So either works. Just don’t mismatch any cuz then you’ll either get really loud distortion or you audio will too quiet. If you want to use the Bluetooth tho, make sure your turntable and your speakers are both set to line. I have the atlp120xbt and the r-51 speakers just fyi.
Wow, excellent vid.. Watched many review videos, but this video was what I needed. Thank you. will be buying asap.
Glad you found it useful Christian!
I have there non powered speakers Hooked too my receiver. R-41 speakers are very loud and clear.
Great for small room.they really don’t need an subwoofer.they are very loud with a sub.and clear.I love mine.
I just got my R-51PM speakers. We have a smallish house and I listen to classical music. Using IDAGIO on my iPhone is a great combination.
That is great to hear! Enjoy that setup and feel free to reach out if we can ever help.
I just ordered these! I’m so excited!!! 😩
How do you like them?
Can you recommend something between Klipsch R-51PM, SVS Prime Wireless Speaker, Audioengine A5+ Wireless and KEF LSX? For use with computer via USB/Optical and wireless via Bluetooth with a phone for Spotify or something similar. I like bass, but I won't have a subwoofer, so which one is better here? I like R-51M and KEF LSX from what I saw in reviews - didn't hear them. But the price... They are different in my country. Klipsch is around 600$, SVS Prime around 600$, Audioengine around 450$ and KEF around 880$ - a lot more than others. I think Klipsch being a bit cheaper than KEF, having a dynamic sound and that Dynamic Bass for lower volume could be a good choice, but I'm not sure.
Are these speakers able to play multiple sources of audio input at the same time? I.e. audio from a PC connected via USB and a TV connected via Optical?
Negative, they will only play a single source at a time.
Which speaker sounds more alive? Focal ES130K or Klipsch R-51M? Please answer me crutchfield because i want to buy one of those speakers'
Hi, I bought the R51PM a few months ago and found there is no control knob for treble and the treble sound from the speakers is weak. Is there a way to increase the treble volume? Would appreciate your help.
No there is no way to adjust the treble or bass from the speaker. The only way to do that would be adjusting it at the source.
I have a pair of Klipsch R- 51 PM speakers. I really like them however when I purchased them online I didn't realize that there was only one main control speaker with the second speaker connected via cord / cable. I want each speaker to be totally independent and I'm wondering if that would cause problems with the transmitter,TV , phone, AV stereo? I don't want the connecting cord so I'm trying to make I guess 2 independent Wi-Fi speakers, not connected by a cable.. is that possible or do I need to buy a second pair and just not connect the slave / secondary speakers.
Hmmm, what you are looking for is WiFi speaker. One of our advisors would love to help you explore what options would suit your needs! bit.ly/2KP1zS3
it is time for me to change my actual setup, and I thought to connect these two without AV reciver or amplifier to TV, what is the best solution, could you give me some advice..and ofcourse I would like to use only TV remote :D
The R-51PM, and the R-41PM are both powered speakers, and have an optical digital input for connection to an audio device, like your TV. The optical digital input will accept 2ch stereo PCM only, and would be suitable to use as a front left and right for your TV's audio.
If you want to look into options for home theater that include the use of a receiver that will allow you to grow the system and receive surround sound, feel free to get in touch!

I would love to know how these R-41PM stand up against The Fives for treble and high end transparency?
My question as well!
can i use those as surround sound rear speakers
I'm interested in these but i'm wondering if i can turn off the bluetooth function when using an analog connection. I just bought a pair of Kanto YU6 and when the speaker is on, the bluetooth is on as well, no way to turn it off. Is istpossible with these?
I have these speakers and all you have to do is just change the input and the Bluetooth will not connect to it.
Nice work! Can they be paired with 2 subs? and does the usb output charge as well?
You could use a splitter to send the signal to two separate subwoofers if you wanted. The rear USB-B is for connecting a computer for audio streaming. The mini-USB is for service updates only. They do not have a a charging port on them
Do you think this speakers do well with Electronic Drums? I want to use it for PC and Drums at the same time.
Our Pro-Audio team will be happy to speak with you!

I recently purchases the Klipsch R-41PM for $230. They sound great, but the bass is lacking. Would the Knato YU6 be a large improvement, or the Klipsch R-15PM ($300)? I will eventually buy a subwoofer, but not for a few months.
Both will improve the bass and the Kanto YU6 will give the biggest change. It will be a vary noticeable change too
hi, would this help these speakers at all MX3 DAC Power Amplifier?
If you are referring to the Topping MX3 unit, then I don't think it will help the sound because everything I read about its abilities indicated it's meant for passive speakers (ones without a built-in amp) like these: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/p_714R51M/item.html
is it possible to buy a remote control to use with the 51PM as the 41 had and why klipsch did no longer offer it with the 51 model.remote .it's useful what is your opinion about it?
The R-51PM model also comes with a wireless remote. If you have the R-51PM speakers but no remote, we recommend checking with Klipsch by calling 800-554-7724 to get a replacement remote as we do not sell them as replacement parts
@@crutchfield thanks for the advice
If I wanted to connect these to an echo dot, will they stay on all the time, or do they turn off automatically after a while? If they do turn off automatically, is there a way to defeat that?
The auto-standby mode can be bypassed, the instructions on how to do are in the manual!
nice video. thank u.
one doubt: whats the difference between reference passive speakers (R 51) and Powered speakers (RP 51)? apart from built in amp, how its beneficial?
also please explain sound distribution for both speaker models by an AV Receiver (i am using Denon X 2400 receiver).
thanks in advance
The passive speakers are designed to work with A/V receivers for all the benefits that can give which includes surround sound. The powered version of these speakers do not work with A/V receivers to be combined into a theater system. They are great where there isn't much space or stereo audio is all that is needed.
Crutchfield thank u 😊
one more: If I use Powered Speakers as front left n right, do they save the load shared by receiver? I meant receiver will distribute its wattage to other surround speakers?
If I have a record player that has a preamp pre built would I need to put the switch onto line or phono?
If the turntable has a phono preamp built in and it is turned on, then the input on these speakers should be set to line
Which model do you recommend for a 13x25 foot room with low ceilings? I will also be most likely purchasing the 10 or 12 inch klipsch sub as well
For that room I'd recommend the R-51PM to give you a fuller sound and more power. The R-51PM's will keep up better with a larger sub too.
Go for the Klipsch RP-160M if you have space, seriously! I have both the R-41M and the RP-160M. I know there's a big difference in size between these two, but you can get lots of discounts on RP-160M's these days. You can also go for the RP-150M if you want the same size as R-51M.
Here's the thing: the reference premiere series is like another brand compared to the reference series. You may read lots of critics about Klipsch speakers lacking depth, this pretty much doesn't apply to the RP series. Much more depth, A LOT better mids and lows. If you go for the RP-160M, you don't really need a sub unless you want really high bass.
Also, skip the klipsch sub. Get SVS or something.
Heyy, can i place my right speaker on the left side n left speaker on the right side?
Since the signal's being sent to each speaker is directional, swapping the left and right speaker would not be recommended.
Is the audio quality same as the non powered one?
Absolutely! You're getting a perfectly powered set of speakers, which definitely optimizes your sound quality.
What would you connect to a turntable, a R-41PM or a Heritage The Three? Thanks
The RP-41M will give you a truer stereo sound due to have a left and right speaker.
Hi, ¿What do you think about combine this speakers with a Klipsch Subwoofer R10SW?
That sounds like an outstanding combo to us 👍
Would the wireless Klipsch R-10SWI sub work with these?
Yes indeed!
Would these be good for my tv in a small room or should i get tower speakers
Both have advantages and more often than not, sizing wins as space is at a premium in small rooms. However, when that is not a concern, it is possible to get floor standing speakers that improve the sound without becoming too overbearing in the room. We have advisors that will be happy to discuss your goals and preferences to give a recommendation on which is better for your goals in your room. Here's how to reach us for this help:

What klipsch sub woofer would be compatible with this powered speakers?
You can add pretty much any powered subwoofer you want with the RCA mono output on those Klipsch speakers. This 12" Klipsch subwoofer would be a nice pair:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc290/p_714R120SW/Klipsch-R-120SW.html
hey crutch, currently i have an all wired setup. klipsch sub, receiver, and center channel acting as a soundbar. i would like to delete as many wires as possible, so im wondering if i can delete the receiver, plug these bookshelfs into my tv, and plug my sub into the bookshelf to power it. is that something that these can do?
sub is an older model, ksw-12
It's a good idea but probably won't work. The receiver is what is sending the discrete left, right and center signals out. If you eliminate that the sound bar and L/R speakers would essentially be playing the same thing.
I was given these as a gift can I use them as surround speakers to hook them up to my home receiver and other speaker set up? I tried installing them with my Receiver but the right powered speaker doesn't seem to want to work the left works fine.
These could be used as surround speakers with a receiver that has preamp outputs for all its speaker channels. You would run an RCA audio cable from the receiver to the input on these speakers so just make sure you have one long enough to reach them
Crutchfield Once I connect the ACR cords to these speakers what setting does the speakers need to be on? Phono or OPT?
They should be set to "Line". The Phono setting would be if you were connecting a turntable.
Crutchfield Awesome! Thanks a lot for your help.
Can I use these speakers as my rear speakers in home theater?
Yes you can absolutely use those as rear surrounds.
Can I connect a receiver too? ... because I need some radio/cd player as well.
You can connect just about anything with digital or preamp outputs. Are you in the market for a receiver or do you already have one? Our friendly product advisors can make sure you have everything you need. You can call, email or chat with them here: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc290/support/ContactUs.aspxI-rYTVc000/
i wish there was a seperate optional wired volume knob. I would love to use these as computer speakers but don't want to have to depend on the remote to adjust the volume.
thats exactly what I use them for and its honestly not as big a deal as you would think. Normally ill set a threshold of the max volume id need while sitting at my computer, and anything else just adjust on the computer end. The remote is great with a line volume adjust, so just set the sub to the highest LPF and turn its gain/volume all the way up and let them do the rest. Honestly a great option for an office/bedroom.
Are the R- 41PM speakers magnetically/video shielded?
They are not.
can Bluetooth connection create stereo sound or just two speakers with mono sound?
Yep! These speakers sure can take in stereo audio from Bluetooth and produce stereo sound from it!
Do you think it is a good idea to hook up these with a tv instead of going with soundbar? Hooking up with a powered subwoofer of course
It would depend on the soundbar but personally, yes, I think that would be a great idea. You could make the argument that a soundbar may provide better dialogue for TV and movies but those Klipsch speakers are more dynamic than most sound bars and would definitely perform better for 2-channel stereo music. I say go for it!

Thanks man!
Anytime, we're always happy to help or offer an opinion.
Hey, great review, quick question... what Klipsch subwoofer do you recommend and is compatible for R51-PM model?
Hi Nicholas!
Check out the Klipsch Reference R-8SW!
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc164/p_714R8SW/Klipsch-Reference-R-8SW.html
This will give you plenty of low-end, without taking away from the great detail from your R51-PM's!
Get in touch if you need anything!
How would you compare the sound quality of the R51 PM with the Bose S1 Pro.
Would really appreciate your opinion.
PA gear like the Bose S1 Pro is focused on loud volumes to fill venues. The Klipsch is designed for personal spaces like in a home, office, etc... so it won't play nearly as loud as the Bose, but since the home is a quieter environment, its focus is more on clarity/accuracy of the sound instead of super loud volume levels to fill larger areas.
Many thanks... really appreciate the quick response.
Glad we could help!
Which model do you recommend for a 13x13 foot room?
That greatly depends on your goals for the audio because both can work in a room with those dimensions. The R-51PM model offers a bigger woofer (4" in the other model and a 5.25" in this one) to give a more lively and full sound than the other model.
My Audio Technica LP120X USB has a preamp, is the preamp in the R-51PM better? Thanks
Hi Ricky!
This is really one of those user based answers. Since both the LP120X and the R-51PM's preamps are switchable, I would recommend trying the connection with the LP120X using it's preamp to the R-51PM, and vice versa.
This is one of those scenarios that you can't put a check beside one, and say this one will perform best, unfortunately.
If you'd like to run some other questions by us, or get some advice or recommendations, just let us know. Any of our Advisors will be happy to help.

@@crutchfield Thank you, your answer makes a lot of sense. I tried both and I think the preamp in the R-51PM sound better to me.
@@rickyny78 I have the same setup but how do you bypass the preamp in the record player and use the preamp in the speakers?
@@Kaia6485 In the back of the LP120X, move the switch to Phono.
@@rickyny78 Thank you! I have the back of the speaker also set to phono. Is that correct? Sorry, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to electronics and just want to make sure I'm getting the best possible sound.
We have a Vintage Yamaha Natural Sound Stereo Receiver CR620. I know we don't need the Amplifier to work these self powered speakers - But can we still use them with this receiver for AM/FM ?
If your receiver has a set of RCA preamp outputs, you could connect the powered speakers to it and essentially use the receiver as a preamp. Or, you could use these similar Klipsch passive speakers and power them directly from the receiver: www.crutchfield.com/I-rYALc928/p_714R51M/Klipsch-Reference-R-51M.html
@@crutchfield Hi, Thank you for responding.. I have the following RCA inputs: Phono L/R. AUX L/R Tape 1 and Tape 2 L/R no pre amp outputs. I just can't hook the speakers to the Speaker outputs?
The powered speakers shown in this video will not work. They do not have speaker level inputs to work with your Yamaha receiver. However, the passive speakers we linked to in our last message can work with your receiver.
@@crutchfield got it - You can't marry New technology with Old sometimes.
I asked on Amazon if you need any receiver or amplifier in order to use the Klipsch R-100SW subwoofer with the Klipsch R-51PM. The answer was this: "The sub has to be connected to a receiver or amp in order to hear it! The r-51pm are bookshelf speakers which also need to be connected to a receiver or amp! Without it, you will hear, NOTHING!!!"
I asked Klipsch, they said I don't need a receiver for this. Can you please advise which is the correct answer ? Thank you.
These speakers are powered, as such they have built in amplifiers. So you merely need to give them audio to play via bluetooth, or an inputs on the back of the speakers. they also have a built-in subwoofer output, which means you can plug a powered subwoofer such as the R-100SW into it, and it will play with the speakers.
@@crutchfield I have noticed this with comments from people saying you need an amp etc. I've been looking at these to sit next to my TV, good choice or best to go for a different set of speakers?
No receiver or Amp needed,so I can easily plug this to my Tv?
No receiver, these have a built in pre amp and are self powered.
Andy nailed it! These can be plugged into a TV's audio output without needing a receiver or an amp. These are already powered by a built-in amp
@@crutchfield bought these from you. Can I connect them to a receiver in the future?
are these good to add to my cinema 600 soundbar?
These are great speakers but unfortunately the Klipsch R-51PM and R-41PM will not pair with the Klipsch Cinema 600. The R-51PM and R-41PM are meant to be used as a 2 or 2.1 stereo set up. However, we do carry the wireless surrounds that go with the Cinema 600. They're currently out of stock but we do have them on back order.

This or krk gen4 8’s just need something stoopid loud for when I’m working out
I'd think a pair of the KRK speakers should play louder than these can. They are PA speakers and meant to push the sound out as well as they have more power than these Klipsch speakers.
I want something that can be expanded to multi channel or 5.1, could I do that with these?
Neither the Klipsch R-51PM, or the R-41PM are expandable.
However, Klipsch does offer a wireless surround sound solution. The Klipsch RW speakers and subs can be used in a 5.1 configuration. You can start with a 2 channel setup, and expand as needed.

@@crutchfield my issue is my monitor is 144hz at 1440p through display port, but I also want 5.1 for my pc. Usually, you'd use hdmi for bitstream to an avr but it would act as a second monitor. This then effects the refresh rates on monitor etc. I want to be able to have both... Would you guys be able to test various methods and find the best compromise? The whole pc/audiophile community could use a solution!
Things you can try:
- one gpu via display port as above, second gpu for hdmi pass-through to avr.
- One gpu for dp to monitor and hdmi pass-through to avr.

I am torn between Klipsch R-41 PM or Kanto Ora. There Will be a sub. Usage Will be for gaming and movies in a smallere office. Any advice?
Both excellent models and both do have an RCA mono output for connecting a powered sub. Are there any other specific connections or features you need? Are there any speaker brands you've used before that you loved the sound of most?
@@crutchfield thank you for answering. No specific needs for connections. Both have what I need. I have been a fan of the sound of Dali and Dynaudio. Mostly the latter. I must say that I probably Will choose the klipsch. I like the clarity in the highs and good mids. And I like their design. So I Will try klipsch for the first time, they are costly in Europe, but we only live once.
I was about to buy the wharfedale WH-D10 sub. But i cannot find a single thorough review of this sub. Do you have recommendations for a sub with klipsch?
Great choice on the Klipsch! As to the sub, what will you using the system to listen to most often? Any fit restrictions?
@@crutchfield it Will be used for music (rock, pop, rap and classic), watching movies and gaming. There are not any fit restrictions per say. I usually prefer sealed subs and looking at 10 inch. But since this is for more than music, it could be the time to look at subs, that I usually would not look at.
Sealed is still the best for music and when music is the primary audio source, it is still the recommended type. But there is another that is great for music that helps add in some output for movies too. The subs with a passive radiator move more air than just a sub in a sealed box but still have the set amount of air space to control the movement of the cone. Here is a link to these options:

Can you hook those speakers to the PC using only bluetooth?
Some computers have Bluetooth built in that can send audio to speakers like these. I recommend checking your computer specs to see if it has Bluetooth
Same price as the seemingly newer Audio Engine HD4. Which is better for a small room on a computer desk with an ultrawide?
That greatly depends on a few variables as neither are a clear winner for all uses and tone preferences. This type of conversation is best done live with an advisor. Here's how to reach one to discuss your use and goals to get a personal recommendation between the two models:
www.crutchfield.com/I-rYTVc227/support/ContactUs.aspx
@@crutchfield Wow , thank you for taking the time to reply. I went with the HD4 because I value the smaller size to squeeze in next to the ultra wide and it's newer tech since it came out earlier this year
It is hard to beat the sound from that small speaker cabinet. What do you think of their sound?
Does anyone know if I can connect my technics SL-B202 directly too these speakers?
Yes, absolutely! There's an RCA phono input right on the back of the main speaker. 👍
I have connected these speakers to a Pro-ject Debut Carbot (DC) Turntable but the volume is maxing out at around 45 decibels, which is nowhere near as high as it goes on the bluetooth setting. Do you have any advice for me? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There is the phono/line level switch on the back. Make sure that it it set to phono for the Debut Carbon DC turntable. If it was, I'm not sure what else can be done and recommend contacting technical support for help. If you purchased your speakers from Crutchfield, you can call our technical support to check what else can be done to improve the volume levels on the speakers. We send their direct dial phone number on the order invoice. If the gear was purchased elsewhere and they cannot help I recommend contacting Klipsch for help.

Will they be used just for music? What types of music do you enjoy?
@@crutchfield rock jazz instrumentals classical yes just music

How do I set these speaks up to a maranta 1200 reciever?

Witch is better klipsch sixes or this model?
The Sixes are part of Klipsch Heritage line which is typically their best quality. We no longer carry the Sixes however.
@@crutchfield i see.. because i have one then this new r51pm is released with less money ahahah
what the difference between r-51m & r-51pm?
The Klipsch R-51M, are passive speakers and will need to be connected to an amplifier or receiver, for power.
The Klipsch R-51PM, have their own built in amplifier, and will not need an external amp or receiver for use.
If these speakers could connect direct to WiFi and had Google assistant then I would buy.
Are these speakers active?
Yes, power is built in.
Thanks!
How does it compare to The Sixes?
They are similar in size and output. It would depend largely on what amp you paired them with since the Sixes are powered.
Pricey for what you are getting from my perspective
Can these decode Netflix Dolby through the optical
Unfortunately, they can't decode Dolby Digital signals. Their optical digital audio inputs will accept two-channel stereo PCM signals only (up to 24-bit/96kHz).
Klip or B&W speaker What one is no 1
Hi Michael, we do have top models in both brands. Did you want to stick with a powered option? Are there any specific features or inputs you need?
Is these Bluetooth speaker?
Yes they do have built-in Bluetooth.
This device may be combined with the Bose Theater and become one voice
I don't recommend mixing speaker brands in home theater systems. It's ok to have a different brand subwoofer from the speakers but mixing different brand speakers in a home theater system creates potential voice matching issues.
Its a little thing, just a peeve of mine...these are NOT monitors. Monitors are self powered, individual speakers meant for reference use. A monitor can be used as a single speaker, taking in its own source. Each monitor is its own complete set. these are powered speakers...difference being there is one main speaker with all the inputs, brains and amp, and the other is a passive speaker. Also, monitors are unique due to the fact that they have to meet specific requirements to be "reference grade" in their frequency response....these Klipschs are not that!
