Klipsch R-51PM vs Audioengine P4

The Klipsch R-51PM is a great Bookshelf Speaker for its $479 asking price.

The Audioengine P4, on the other hand, is not worth its $249 price tag and should be avoided by most people. We strongly suggest that you take a look at some better alternatives if you're considering spending around $280 on a Bookshelf Speaker.

The Klipsch R-51PM got praised by TechGearLab and Wirecutter (NYTimes) - two highly trusted sources that perform in-depth hands-on testing. It was awarded the "Top Pick" title from TechGearLab and "Also great" from Wirecutter (NYTimes) in their respective Bookshelf Speaker roundups.

Taking a look at the Audioengine P4, it got featured in roundups from two reliable sources that conduct their own testing - Wirecutter (NYTimes) and Tom's Guide - but it fell short of earning a top spot in either.
