I'm looking for a sub 500$ speaker set up for my small retail store. I was going to buy the Edifyers but what you said about the Klipsch's filling the room with sound made me change my mind. Thanks for the excellent review.
Very interesting review. I’ve actually been looking at both of these speakers so this review was great for me. Klipsch definitely outperformed the Edifier as a tv/movie speaker and music speaker with a sub added. However, if using for just music without the sub, I preferred the Edifier. So now my question is do I invest in a sub or not….hmmm.
@@sazzad_hossain.s Do u need a powered sub combined with powered speakers(if that even is a thing), or sub uses speaker's internal amps? Also if u buy klipsch do u need to buy a klipsch SUB or can u go with something cheaper like the Edifier T5 or kanto's SUB8?
@@OmgiamsotriggeredYou should be able to pair any powered subwoofer (usually home theater subs, or something like the Edifier T5) with any of these speakers. The speakers only send the sound signal, they do not amplify it
I just got my Kipsch R-51PMs set up in my living room. I have them in an enclosed book shelf, and since they're rear ported, I don't need the subwoofer I bought. So, that's going downstairs in the theater. :)
I'm going for the 1280DB because they have Optical for my PC and cheaper than 1850DB. They are exactly the same just 100 euros less because a bit less RMS watt.
All the Edifiers are probably the same predictable high quality. One can get here on RU-vid the impression that some sound better but once bought, one probably doesn't notice flaws I think.
Tip - have a look at the Edifier S1000 MKII speakers. They’re less expensive than these Klipschs but the sound they reproduce is fantastic. They have all the inputs that this R1850DB has except the sub output, but they don’t need extra bass.
I thought the edifiers sounded better and for $200 less they left the Klipsch in the dust.

A little advice, or at least let's say a helpful opinion, u need to check out the Edifier R2750DB's for less than 390 USD (R-51PM costs 750 USD here) and u get almost better sound quality than the Klipsch R-51PM because it has 3 way high quality drivers, a 6.5 inch woofer, 4 inch mid and a tweeter of course. Also lots of bass and has a sub-out too. The only problem (at least for me) they are huge compared to regular bookshelf or computer speakers. But if your desk is big enough, which yours is, they fit perfectly.
According to Edifier, their R2850DB’s have now been released to replace the R2750DB’s out there in the marketplace. They’ve upgraded Bluetooth to v5 and the remote control unit has been given a facelift and I think that they may have also added another input (not 100% sure about that). Otherwise I think that they’re basically remained the same. I’ve also been led to believe that overall sound reproduction from the Edifier R2000DB’s compares very favourably with the R2750DB’s/R2850DB’s for a lot less cost…

@@Driver2616 apparently they did, I looked out for the old version on their web page and it doesn't exist anymore. Strangely though we still have the 2750DB instead of 2850DB here in Turkey, due to the pandemic I guess...And it's now unfortunately significantly more expensive than before :/
without the sub, it seems the edifier has more kick. Maybe it's the long throw woofer of the edifier. For a nearfield desk speaker, the edifier is better. Klipsch is better for a bigger space. I ran a klipsch passive 160rpm with external two channel and the kick is not as pronounced as this edifier.
in Australia the Edifiers are $170 the Klipsch are $1050........not really a close comparison, maybe the s2000mk3 wld had been better their $400 aud n are insanely great for the price
This Kiplish are so big. They are good for short distance or it’s better for home teather? Right now I have the edifier for a computer speaker and I don’t have any complains.
I have the R1850DB with a 200w Monoprice Sub and I turned down the Bass since I want the Bass to come from the Sub - the Sub SCREAMS and I get no distraction at high volumes (sub volume is at 12:00: no port huffs)
@Sunny Jake your comment just shows how eager you are to show off what you have, or only have. Never once was a comparison made with separates, and my original just corrected this vid's wrong wattage info. But hey, you thought that your measly 90wpc is good enough to go bouncing around youtube comments acting like its end all fuck all. Congrats on your ability to own 90wpc. Bravo bravo. I on the other hand wont bother mentioning what I have in my Atmos setup back home to people like you. Creatures like you cant have good things, or the whole world would know about it. And you make things sound like wattage is everything, like 90wpc will bring any musicality to your system. Lmfao!
i am replacing the exact edifiers with the exact klipsch speakers today. the reason, the speaker cable for the edifiers comes loose and I have to wiggle it around to get a clean connection. the speaker out from the left speaker is garbage on those edifiers!
Thoughts on Klipsch R-51M Bookshelf Speakers with AT-L60X-BT turntable. Versus Klipsch R-41M Bookshelf Speakers for AT-L60X-BT? I’m afraid that are Klipsch 51m are too big! I was getting the edifier R1280DBS because of the size. It’s a Christmas gift, and she young & she is brand new to turntables, so I could always updated as she gets older. Trying to get a descent pair of speakers. Debating between with 51M and 41M. Are the klipsch’s plug and go too like the edifiers? Are they all active speakers? Thanks!
Great video, Im looking for bookshelf speakers for gaming and movies I havent decided which are best Klipsh R41M or Edifier R1280T any help woudl be appreciated
So a question? I have the R51pm, and want to buy a turntable, so is it better to pair it with a pre amp turntable, bluetooth turntable, or just a turntable without the extras? Thanks in advance, aI enjoyed the video as well.
8 months later but well. Maybe someone will have the same question today. I'm about to buy these Klipsch, for what I've heard, a good external preamp will make your turntable sound better than the integrated preamp in the Klipsch. Try to get a tube preamp.
@@rael2099 Yes I have my R51PM's connected to a preamp. Not tube but the sound is excellent altho I'm itching to get a sub since the bass needs more oomph for electronic music listening
Hi, No, those e4.5 doesn't have rca output or a pre-sub out... If you want to use a sub parallel to ur presonus, then you need to split ur audio source into two.. one goes to ur e4.5 and the other to ur edifier sub... then set the frequency cut off on ur sub to whatever you like, I would recommend 80hz since e4.5 will play as low as 70hz and the sub can play anything below 80hz cut off 👍
Why wouldn't u compare apples to apples with the s2000 pros or s3000 pros. You are not being fair. The r1850s are a desktop speaker and the Klipsch are more a "bookshelf" speaker. This is a bogus comparison. I like both brands and use the 5s and 2000 3000 pros r1850s with the t5 and airpulse 300s. Still think this was not apples to apples
Sometimes, life doesn't give you apples.. sometime, it's apples and pears... Which are like apples but not really 🤔 Thanks for checking out the video lol
hi Sazzad, if i hook up an amp to R51PM, the amp has RCA output.. so i need to switch to phono or line? want it to be like this : pc optical out > dac > pre-amp > amp > R51PM
U can connect optical cable directly from pc to R51PM or via usb cable, no need for a dac or another amp, u use phono when ur connecting a turntable to these speakers
The fives will intergrade better with you TV since it's got HDMI ARC input, you'll be able to control volume with tv remote at ease... But I feel like it's way over priced for a 2-channel speakers, for the same price or a little more you can put together a 5.1 system or 5.1 saoundbar setup with dolby atmos.... I would get the R51PM instead, cost half the price 😁
These are bookshelf speakers for listening to music man. A soundbar is for movies and stuff. These have better sound quality but they dont have surround or height channels
Did you change audio source to aux? Tried Bluetooth? Try ruling out if the speakers work or not, if speakers are good then it could be bad cable, if cable is good then something is wrong lol if all fails then contact klipsch and see if ur warranty allows for repair or replacement
@@bighit3352 so the speakers works, hmmm could be a faulty aux connection on the klipsch amp, best to get it replaced with ur warranty or return for a new unit
@@bighit3352 ahhh, after replying I went back to look at the connection to refresh myself, so when connecting with ur phone or pc, use AUX (3.5mm) and switch it to 'line' .. the RCA connection are for turntables, so u flip to 'phono' when using those... Even thou you are getting sound out of RCA using ur phone, it may not be ideal since phono signal is different compared to AUX based on signal strength level, AUX connection is stronger then Phono, which makes it ideal for mobile devices so you can enjoy the audio better without having to turn it up so much
Well that's because he didn't do a honest review. S2000 pros would have been a dollar to dollar fair comparison. The r1850s are not in the same price range. It's like comparing a Honda to a Lexus
