I'm a new RP-600M owner after having a Cornwall and Heresy home theater many years ago. I'm not crazy about the the 600M's. It would be great if the upgrade made me love these speakers, but considering the price of the crossover upgrade, would it be better to just build the X-LS Encore and sell the 600Ms? Has anyone had both onhand to do a comparison?

If you want to get your feet wet in DIY and do a fun upgrade that will give you really improved results then go for the upgrade.

If you are looking for the best bang for the buck and best overall sound, then build the X-LS Encore. No contest.

I reached the same conclusion about the decision to upgrade or just resell and build the x-ls. I sold the rp 600 m for more than I paid for them, by a small margin, and am waiting on the parts for the x-ls. I will happily post my impressions once the project is complete.

You're going to love those Encores, especially if you upgraded the crossover components and got the No-Rez.

Hey guys first post here, got my Rp8000f kit in so I'm starting to put that together. Just posting to see if you guys can just check it out see if it looks ok. I basically just copied what Homer did on a previous post, his layout made the most sense to me.

If you connect your wiring on it correctly then you have it. All of that looks good.

Klipsch RP-600M crossover

Finished my RP-600m upgrade last weekend. Running them with Amp Camp v1.6 monoblocks and a Bluesound Node 2i, streaming Tidal MQA. I’m quite impressed with the sound for the price of the system. In my small office 13’x9’, they have good bass response so I’m not using my sub. The upgrade for me was a really noticeable clarity upgrade in the higher frequencies. I only ran the speakers stock for 2 days before I performed the upgrade so I wasn’t really familiar with the “before” sound.

Hi

Thanks for your detailled posts on the Klipsch RP-8000F Xover mod and built.

I would like to understand what the starting point was but sadly couldn't find a picture of the original xover.

Would perhaps someone care to post a picture from the original xover to see what parts Klipsch used?

Possibly also a quick schematic (connection of parts) of the orginal xover, even by hand... trying to understand the oem filter.

Many thanks!

Claude

Look two posts up.

The original one didn't really work out that well. See the measured responses.

Err... 2 posts up that's the Klipsch RP-600M crossover, not the RP-8000F I am looking for... Or is that the same crossover?

Quite a different LS so I guess not the same parts?

Thanks for your kind reply

Ah, I think you can see that one in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P8EjYgI510&t=36s

Thanks Danny, looks indeed like the one you have on the table behind you

This is a still photo of the OEM crossover for the RP-8000F.

In case anyone is looking for a layout example to consider. This is the GR Research cross-over layout I used for the Klipsch RP-504C center channel. It measures 3.5" x 12". It fits very well on the bottom all the way to the side behind the binding post cup.

I made a "cut sheet" for the no-res sheet I used on the RP600M kit. I thought I'd post it here to save others the time who may be assembling the same kit.

This is awesome!! I just used this to trace out my cuts - thank you for doing that!!

Hi guys!

Just finished my RP-8000F upgrade.
Based on previous posts, planned ahead, and decided to use a separated vertical mount technique

There was no mention about the filling, it should go back or not. I tried without, then quickly decided to stuff some inside. I ended up even stuff the bass port.
The high tones.. nobody mentioned, that at first will be "coarse". I gave it some time, and looks like it comes back to "fine".

Is this normal? Did I something wrong?
