Best Speaker Under 500 Klipsch RP600M v KEF Q350 v SVS Prime v Wharfedale Diamond 12.2 v Jamo C 93ii 

Much appreciated!

Thanks, TJ. Hope you're safe and sound up there in Tulsa

@@cheapaudioman Staying in out of the extreme cold snap. 5 days below freezing, forecast is 6 more days below freezing. Hope no one you knew was affected by the big crash.

Agreed. I think a lot of reviewers watch the big channels and just repeat what they say.

They’re all great. Jamos may be the only one up there that wouldn’t be widely appealing.

you probably dont care at all but does any of you know a method to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

@Rowen Daxton instablaster ;)

@Ralph Orlando i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

@Ralph Orlando it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account :D

@Rowen Daxton You are welcome :D

They’re great. I wouldn’t worry about it. If your av has a eq then one can bring up the lower mids a bit too. All of these are winners and I can only pick them apart when I hear then one after the other.

Take a look for the crossover parts from these marveleos klipsch! Haha.

👍

thanks so much, Neil

Thanks. A lot of people think I'm a complete moron

@@cheapaudioman Well, at least you are not a quitter. Never go part idiot when complete idiot is within your grasp.

Randy, You are learning a lot in a short amount of time, and you should be proud of it! Look at this video compared to the first one. Your confidence is prominent! By the way, I'm loving the And Justice For All picture on the wall! My favorite album of all time! ✌️

@@cheapaudioman Alot of people are below average...at best.

I'm wondering the same thing. How does the Emotiva B1+ stack up to this crowd of speakers?

As a young person who still has some higher frequency hearing, I feel Wharfies have a bit of a noticeable treble roll-off and something of a veil to its sound. The Klipsch's were a bit too hot for my liking. Haven't tried SVSs and Jamos, But definitely love the KEFs.

How do the dimond 12.1 sound cus i can get a pair on sale for €215

@@quickflik3980 They are like the HD600 of speakers. I’m not sure whether you’re a headphone guy, but they sound very natural and true to life.

@@SugaFree2387 in just looking for a good speaker set my budget is about €500 i had a look at the Kef Q350 for €360 and the Wharfedale 12.2 €350

@@quickflik3980 Kef is also pretty good but it has a mechanical sound, like this metallic timbre to it, but the treble is really detailed. I prefer the Wharefedale personally.

@@SugaFree2387 ok thx how do the Klipsch rp500m compair to those and is €350/€360 a good deal for those speakers the rp500 is €492

Jamo C series speakers are absolutely brilliant. Used to have different speakers of different brands. Havne't heard any better even three times as expensive

I have found that live music sounds the best with them.. and you NEED to listen to music at a louder volume for them to perform as they should. While listening to high quality flac live unplugged recordings it almost sounds like im there if i close my eyes.. Yes, they are that good. I have also found that CDs don't sound as good as on my friends KEFs Q350s .

My pleasure! hope you're doing alright, brother

You need to email me, man. I’ve got some stuff for you

Oh man Thanks Randy ! Your a good guy brother I knew this out of the gate 👍🏻👊🏻 How do I find your email ? I’ve looked and can’t seem to find it or how to contact you. Sorry I haven’t been around as much just have been busy with life’s offerings lol. But when ever I get a chance I always try to watch your vids man even if I’m not interested in the offerings your presentation and keeping it real is second to none and enjoy them so much !

I'm gonna send a note to Edifier to contact this influencer.....so Randy can collect some free speakers to review...like the really high end Edifiers. And hey.....Edifier actually came out with a passive speaker? Send it to Randy. Send the Edifier T5 sub to see what an 8" sub under $130 is good at. Boxes should be piling up on his front stoop if we all pull together to contact speaker companies so they can bury Randy in swaggish free demos.

I actually tested all with subs and they all were great. I didn’t include because I wanted them to get their due without a sub. But in practice I almost always use a sub.

@@cheapaudioman Thanks for the reply! I totally agree. I DO like seeing and rating what all the speakers do on their own. Sometimes, a sub isn't totally necessary, but if you have a superfast sub, the difference is hard to believe. Steve Guttenberg made a good point that subs not only fill in the lower octaves, but they also capture the acoustics of the room and the echoes and the total presence of the place where it was recorded, especially when it's recorded in a venue like a church or concert hall. Also, when relieved of low-bass duty, your amplifier(s) can really concentrate on sending the cleanest mids and highs possible. I recently switched over from Marantz monoblocks at a genuine 125 watts/8 ohms 200 watts/4 ohms rating, to a Nelson Pass amp with 15 watts...and it is a REVELATION. I can't recommend them highly enough. Simply put, they sound EXACTLY like tube amps. I had the choice between a First Watt F5 and a pair of hot-rodded custom-built Nelson Pass Amp Camp amps, and I chose to go with the upgraded Amp Camp amps. They're 95% of the sound, can be played WAY louder than you'd EVER believe, and they're one FOURTH the price. Nelson Pass (very accurately) tells you ahead of time that their only real quirk is that they require a TON of input gain, then they absolutely blow your mind. Find a reputable, established amp building specialist who specializes in Amp Camp amps, and audition one. Actually audition a pair, bridged mono. In stereo, they're 8 watts, but even then, if you've got really efficient speakers (93 dB and higher...Magnepans need not apply for the job), then even 8 watts will utterly blow you away. My amp builder played ONE amp camp amp as a demo for me. In stereo. 8 watts. Driving his Klipsch Cornwall 3s, and it sounds AMAZING. Obviously, the bass isn't thunderous, but add a sub, and you're golden. 8 watts isn't much, but in a Class A configuration, it does WAY more than you'd believe. 15 watts in Class A (crossed over at 80 Hz and paired with a sub) is enough to do nearly anything you'll need, but might not play quiiiiiite loudly enough for your neighbors to call the cops. Then again, if you live in an apartment, it'll definitely get the cops called out! Anyway, try it out sometime, and keep up the great work. If you need the name of a well-known builder with a superlative reputation, I could put you in touch. Keep up the great work, sir!

What do you think of them for movies? I’m looking into budget speakers for music and TV/movie watching.

I think that they are a great speaker. All of the speakers in here are great for sure. don't look back. people love that speaker including myself

Wharfedale is probably the ticket.

I may do that.

I have individual videos on each of the speakers when I talk about different placements. for these they all go in the same spot with the same toe in etc to eliminate as much variability as I can. With this many speakers it's really tough to run through a lot of different scenarios. when I do these I actually listen and do the test with all of them in one sitting. i don't want to just talk about generalities of a speakers characteristics from memory so it can get tough

Glad you liked it!

Albert. I agree that it does sound great. At $400 I think it's about $100 too expensive for what it is. All of these with maybe the exception of the Jamo's are much better speakers than the PSB and built significantly better. They do sound great though but with the Elac debut 5.2's regularly going on sale for $200 I don't think the Alphas have the value proposition as many other speakers.

True. That goes for almost anything. Cars, tech etc.

@@heres_the_sauce but not underwear. I buy those new..

But it’s kind of hit and miss,never know how well maintained the system was.

Awesome, thank you!

@@cheapaudioman dont change anything, your videos are perfect, id keep watching, thx

Springbank, Kilkerran, Clynelish or Mortlach would all hit the spot.
