![]() Strong, Flexible Removable Magnetic Grille.Bass-Reflex via Rear-Firing Tractrix® port.1” Titanium LTS Vented Tweeter with Hybrid Tractrix® Horn.Great place to start with sound system.Leveraging a 1" titanium tweeter matted to our proprietary hybrid Tractrix® horn - the RP-600M bookshelf speaker delivers incredible acoustics to fill your home with loud, crystal-clear sound and robust bass that no ordinary bookshelf speaker can. As you said, soundstage is amazing and they sound good as LR for home theater.Īnyone at at work that talks about getting home theatre system I recommend these to them. Paired them up with a cheap RC62 center and they sound awesome for the price. I bought them for my hopefully soon retirement place down south til I get my main system down there. Everything you say about the RP600’s applies to my previous generation RP-160M’s. They do have some limitations but they fit very well acoustically with the big center speaker, and work really well in 2.0. I've been listening to the RP-600'Ms now in the Mancave doing 2.0 and 3.1 listening with an RC-64 III in the middle. In 2.0 it sounds like Judge Judy is yelling at the litigants directly from her mouth in the center of the screen, crystal clear. As they sound right now on their current 18" stands, slightly below center I can tell you they sound great.Įdit: I just checked the Monoprice web site on the Glass stands linked to. I think I would like to try them higher at ear level, which means another 6 inches high, which means a 24 inch stand. Geez, I almost forgot about your original question, what height stands do I recommend? From my seated position they are slightly below axis. I'm interested in how they will do with the sub engaged. So far they have handled everything I've thrown at them. I am about to try them as mains myself where I'll use them in 2.0, then add a single 15" sub, then add a nice dome tweeter MTM center for multi-channel. It sounds live! with some punch in its sweet spot. The RP-600M has a fantastic sound in the SPL range where 90% of us listen. They play nicely loud but if you push it to ear bleed levels (which they will handle power-wise) they become a bit unbalanced as the top end gets a bit compressed and you lose dynamics. The other limitation is if you try to get crazy loud. That phantom center with the RP-600M blew the RF-83's away. I had to recheck my AVR to make sure the center was turned off. It sounded better than with my dedicated MTM center speaker w/7" Usher woofers, which is no slouch. In my picture below you can see the speakers are a bit below the TV, but I swear when I first heard them the sound was coming exactly from the center of the TV. I simply plugged them in without being setup and Judge Judy was on TV as I plugged everything in. I'll tell you something else they do they image like you would not believe. That's unheard of for a pair of bookshelf speakers with 6.5" woofers. Bass guitar has some punch and can give you a chest thump. ![]() Male and female vocals are pleasant and clear. I found the limitations to be that they were fairly thin at lower power levels, but what speaker isn't? They have a real sweet spot around med to loud where they sound friggin' unbelievable with a full, very balanced sound. These absolutely can stand on their own as a stereo pair in 2.0. ![]() The had an articulate mid-range, really good highs and surprisingly strong mid-bass. In the Mancave the RP600M was not set up properly, nearfield above my head on their sides but pushed with a 200 wpc XPA-5 external amp. I just moved the RP-600M to the living room so I haven't tested it fully in 2.0, but I do have some comments. I've been listening to the RP-600'Ms now in the Mancave doing 2.0 and 3.1 listening with an RC-64 III in the middle. Man, your questions and comments are going to fit perfectly into the next thread I am planning on regarding the RP-600M vs the RF-83's! Good question. Would you recommend keeping the stands at 18"? I am mainly going to use them for 2 channel listening.
