Bookshelf Recommendations

Long time, first time here. Looking to upgrade my current speakers. While I know the best way to judge is by actually LISTENING to a set-up, I've read a lot of positive reviews of the SVS Ultimas. Does anyone here have first hand experience with those or a similar bookshelf at the +/-$1k price point?

My listening space is 12 x 12, with a Carver M1.5t power amp and CJ PV-12 pre.

Has anyone heard the Klipsch rp 600m? A couple of good reviews have popped up on youtube recently.

yes, i listened to a well seasoned set of 600ms and wondered what they were smoking.  FYI stereophile class C.  
completely disappointed.  there are much better sounding speakers at and below this price point.   made me lose respect for all the people hyping it.

Bigger is better...try a 12” woofer and you’ll never be satisfied again with a smaller one 😄

@avanti1960 Thanks. Yes, Zero Fidelity and the Audiophilliac were hyping these speaks. I may just pop on over to BestBuy and have a listen though.


BTW, what does stereophile class C mean?

Just come upon a pair of Totem Rainmakers, within 300 miles. Could possibly audition

Anybody have any listening experience with that set up?
