Klipsch R-51PM

Bookshelf acoustics Klipsch R-51PM embodied many years of experience and tradition of the American brand in the creation of Hi-Fi speakers. In addition, it is an active system, which automatically eliminates the often difficult selection of an amplifier.

Simple and tasteful

Cabinets measuring 34x18x23 cm are made of MDF covered with woodgrain vinyl. The manufacturer does not indulge in a wealth of colours, it offers only black, but bronze woofer cones look great against its background. If desired, they can be hidden behind black grills, conveniently attached to magnets.

Connectivity

On the rear panel of the main speaker there is a block with USB type B connectors, an optical input, AUX and RCA, as well as a port for connecting an external active subwooferif bass is not enough for someone.

A built-in phono stage and a separate contact for a ground cable make acoustics an excellent addition to vinyl players, and Bluetooth allows you to stream music wirelessly from a laptop or smartphone.

Sound that won't disappoint

Tractrix 90x90º inch horn tweeters and 133 mm IMG woofers are responsible for sound in the range of 68 – 21000 Hz. The bass is not too deep, but open and well-textured, with no hint of boominess above average. The mids are juicy and emotional, with perfectly readable overtones, the scene is deep and voluminous with an immersive effect. But the HF segment may seem excessively “bright” to someone, but don’t worry, you won’t hear sibilants even at high volume.

Conclusion

Klipsch R-51PM will suit music lovers and those who just love high-quality sound and ease of use. Adequate price ($650), a wide range of connection options will appeal to many users, and the compactness of acoustics and a good power reserve (up to 120 W) will be a definite plus in small spaces.
