thank you RJ, hope you have a great day also!

Thank you for the kind words, personally I'm not into powered speakers so I won't review them very often but maybe every now and then. I recently did the SVS Prime Wireless and that was great!

hi bro, probably not, I don't like to review discontinued products because then people can't buy it :(

thank you for the kind words, this YT channel is a side hobby just for fun so it can't take up too much of my time or it starts to feel like a job instead of a hobby. You can easily find any of those videos by searching the product name and the word Propaganda or Nemo or both. For example: "Heco Nemo" will bring up my heco reviews. Happy New Year!

awesome!

These comments have me interested, I’m really thinking of trying them. How do you use them if you don’t mind, by themselves or connected to a tv? I just moved my Samsung frame tv into my room after buying my first oled but now I want something more then just the sound from the tv and I was looking at these but idk if I can use them by themselves or need a receiver or what you know !

Had problem finding reviews online for(Active/powered ones) R-50PM Guess had to be the guinea pig. Have them hooked on TV via optical.Have Bluetooth Apt HD, often connect to my laptop for lossless music via USB. There is powered R-50pm and R-50m that need amplification

I listen to a smidgen of classical but no jazz. I listen to a mix of a lot of things, country, edm, death metal, modern pop, old pop, etc...

Klipsch does run some killer sales! I keep them on my radar :)

not sure, I've only reivewed their mxn10 streamer.

thank you for the kind words, I'm happy you find them helpful :)

depends how loud you like your music, the BR03 is a great speaker and has a fuller sound but becomes a little aggressive in the highs if you push the volume too much while the R50M seems to be happy at any volume but has a thinner sound by direct comparison.

@@NemoPropagandaThanks for the reply great review.

its pretty darn good so far, it doesn't reinvent the wheel or anything but it's gonna be pretty damn competative in the vented sub marketplace!

Glad you enjoyed it

sscs5 are great if you only listen at low volumes, if you try and crank them they fall apart while the R50M can get way louder without losing their composure, overall the sound is fairly similar.

@@NemoPropaganda thank you!

huh? I've never reviewed SVS passive speakers, what could I say?

Care to elaborate? I’m cross shopping the 500m ii and these r-50m’s for my desk top because I am not exactly satisfied with the bass output of the 400m mk1

I haven't had much experience with Klipsch, as I always thought them too bright/brittle. However given a number of reviews I decided to try these two speakers. For me, the R50-M's were superior in that they were less "klipsch-like" -- I found them to have excellent vocal presentation, and while detailed, never bitingly so. The 500's build quality seems better, but I found them too sterile with too much emphasis on the horn. It's not a huge difference, but one that, again, to me, was noticeable. Per Sean on zero fidelity I tried the Aiyima t-9 (mine has NOS Mullard tubes), and found it to be a really enjoyable listen in my 95% analog system. Bass on both is adequate but that's not a top priority for me; I may try one of the Jamo subs though. FWIW I tend towards jazz, Americana, and acoustic music. Hope this is helpful? Cheers...

I appreciate you noticing that :) You're right though, most people don't notice, it's a little fun challenge for myself.

Emotiva TA1.

Focal Chora 806 is discontinued now and sold for $990 a pair, I don't think thats a reasonable comparison but yes it was a fantastic speaker.

nice, hope you like them!

I thought the same thing but when I talked to Zero Fidelity about these speakers he said they didn't have that shouty horn behavior and were a little more balanced and that's what really got my attention so it could be unique to this model.

those stands in the video are long discontinued but the Kanto SP1 stand is pretty darn good for the money and has a few height options.

sorry brother I'm not familiar with those.

yes they do!

most bookshelf speakers are sold in pairs.

@@NemoPropaganda are the svs prime bookshelves sold in pair? i looked and couldnt tell

@@itzjustkris7964 Please reach out to SVS if you have questions about how their products are sold. I do not have any running list of what speakers come in pairs and which ones come in singles. most bookshelves are generally sold in pairs but sometimes you'll find them sold in singles.

I second this request.

1000%

guys I said in the video this is my first klipsch speaker :). I've never heard any others.

@@NemoPropaganda Sorry. Hopefully, that will change.

I got my RP600M new for $377 on sale. Easy recommend at the sale price. They are the Reference Premier line above these. Definitely a different presentation over KEF

KEF is going to beat Klipsch 10/10 times. That being said, I do really like my RP-600Ms in the bedroom.

oh man, my q150 video was a while ago and my memory is fading on those, it was a great speaker, more bass boosted though by a good amount. I can't comment too much on the treble and midrange though but I think the R50M is a little more lively up top and the Q150 had much stronger bass, can't remember the midrange of the Q150 anymore but both are great.

I have only heard the Aurora 300.

no they are not.

@@NemoPropaganda perfect! Do you think they would go good with the Integra DTM-6 receiver with the Pro-Ject carbon Debut Evo?

@@blakestuart4748 I couldn't say, I'm not familiar with any of those.

this is the first klipsch speaker I have reviewed.

wow, that is a good deal!

Yeah, I also got the Emotiva B1+ for the same deal of $199 on sale for the holidays! They are impressive for their size. I really like their sound too, but I also own lots of Klipsch speakers, among other brands. The most recent Klipsch models, such R-50M & RP8000Fii, have toned the treble down just a bit. But I just use EQ for my previous RP & Reference Klipsch. Would like to hear a direct comparison of the R-50M to the Q150. I remember you were impressed with the Imaging. Appreciate your reviews 👍

I have not heard it.

do try original rp600m,,,// sale huge discount// after 100 hours,,, a better r50m,, we test now

Revel M16 but they're backwards.

Hello, you mean on a tv console? Yes of course, that's how I have my living room.

total opposite sound. Aurora 300 is much warmer/darker overall and with much stronger bass.

Nvm . You covered it

yes

I have not heard either of those, the R50M in this review is the only klipsch speaker I have ever reviewed.

I cannot answer that question without understanding your entire setup which basically becomes tech support. I suggest you reach out to Klipsch.

I agree, my experience has been very enjoyable so far but they make a lot of speakers and have been in the game for a long time so some peoples opinion could be from 10 years ago, or a specific model. Kind of like how my mom hates Hyundai, she remembers them from the 90's when they were terrible.

Yeah

I never heard the powered versions, the bigger speaker should have a fuller sound but if that's not a concern and space is limited why not get the mini RSL iA255.1 amp, RSL CG3M speakers, and an HDMI ARC extractor off amazon, all together that should cost $350 and that would be an awesome TV setup that can accept HDMI, Optical, or Analog inputs. You can even hide the amp behind your media console if you want to, it's so small!! But if you want powered speakers I'd suggest the vanatoo transperent zero +, I have them in for review now and they're pretty good!

their sensitivity is rated in room, if you want to really know if its easy to drive or not an impedance graph can be very helpful too but thats hard to find sometimes.

I've never heard of that one, do you have any link?

@@NemoPropaganda I don't think they exist, they are not on the Klipsch website, only the R-50M is. Best Buy mixed them up with the RP-500M II and (mistakenly) listed them as the R-50M II, but I'm pretty sure it's just the R-50M. I know because I bought a pair after watching this video when they were on sale for $199. Well, I actually got a used pair for $179 and applied $25 in rewards to better the deal. I was considering the RP-500M II as they were also on sale, but I think they were about double the price, not something I could justify given how I plan to use them, just for occasional movies with the kids. I haven't set them up yet, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping they will sound great once I do, hopefully later today; I'm gonna break them in with some Christmas music. Thanks for the review, and Seasons greetings to you and yours, Nemo, may your days be merry and bright. : )

@@mydogskips2 thank you for the clarification :)

every room is different but roughly 30" front baffle to rear wall works well in my space.

we now burn in... muchas horas,,, @@NemoPropaganda

also burning jbl stage a130,, too

the old school style larger towers intentionally had thinner cabinets and minimal bracing, its part of the tuning of the sound and part of the reason so many people like them. Not every speaker needs or should have a heavily braced cabinet.

As someone who owns Klipsch RP-500m IIs (and dislikes bright sounding speakers): they are not at all treble-heavy. They just need to be paired with the right amplifier (I have a NAD C316BEE) and you can't toe them in hard. Just point them forward at the room.

Nope, just an older cheaper model.

Thank you for the response & I just ordered these from Best Buy for $199.99 for their Black Friday Sale & will be picking them up today to pair them with the Aiyima A08 Pro amp 😱😱😱

Thanks for the response & I just subscribed to your channel 👍🏿

@@myquietreviewsfeaturingc.t9354 nice dude, that's a great deal! Fantastic speaker for the money, easily one of my favorites under $300.

great deal!

I tried to work with Mission, we got very close but their terms were not acceptable for me and they did not respond when I suggested an alteration. I sent one more request and they still did not reply. I'm hoping they are just busy but it seems like a Mission review will not happen on this channel :(. Sadly some companies are just difficult to work with.

@@NemoPropaganda That´s sad man, not realy a smart move from Mission! Audio lives from the passion of the people, hope they will get it right!

@@Manu-yv1jt yeah, it is what it is. Maybe they're worried I'll run off with their speakers or something...

@@NemoPropaganda Yeah but they are not that expensive and it´s free marketing, I don´t get it. Another one which I own is the Elac UF52, also great little floorstandings. Is Elac more up to to work with you?

@@Manu-yv1jt no, i don't have any relationship with them, I don't think they would like me though. I don't really rate their products highly.

I never heard those but I always found fault with most of the affordable elacs and felt they were a bit overhyped. They can be killer when paired to amps 10x their price but not when paired with similarly priced gear. I know a lot of people love them though so maybe its just me.

@@NemoPropaganda The Debut and Debut 2.0 line sound nothing like the Uni-Fi line…which was 2-2.5 times more expensive. I do think that the ELAC BS-41 is trash. The Debut line is pretty good though.

@@seanb3303 I hated debut, I loved DBR62 enough to buy it twice but the tweeter was just too gritty after awhile. I have the UBR62 now but havn't cared enough to give them an honest try but I need to in order to do my Heco Celan review.

@@NemoPropaganda haven’t heard UBR62 but they need to be on short stands to sound right according to andrew Jones. The original UB5 has a lot of clarity and resolution in mids and bass…but has a sweeter treble so not fatiguing. It will expose cheap amps. I use the UB5 slim for background listening with a Schiit Galhorn amp…and it’s a perfect setup for that purpose.

Southern California, it's hot bro :( I been fimling at 2am with the windows open :(

I don't know, this is the first and only klipsch speaker I have reviewed.

philosophers of long past taught us all the difference between universal and particular truths, it would seem you need a refresher on the topic.

​@@NemoPropaganda I think you may have mixed up your philosophy and egoism. Budget used to be $200 prior to the pandemic, and companies shouldn't be allowed to put cheap materials together for double the price and call it "budget".

@@ChickenMeister84 egoism? you're the one creating arbitrary rules to what constitues "budget". You're literally attempting to speak for an entire customer base. Who put you in charge? Oh, you put yourself in charge, sorry I'll go and check my ego though.

ty ty brother I appreciate that!
