General Comments

I have had the Klipsch RF3 II speakers for a while now, and I can say these are a great value. I also listened to polk audio, infinity, bose, paradigm, cerwin-vega, and a few others. The Klipsch were the best. They look awesome with the grills off, and they sound amazing.

The horn tweeter really pays off. These speakers need very little power to run. You get great performance with underpowerd amps. a 10W tubeamp should have these things jumpin' around! And for SS amp guys, (me) you still don't need a lot of power to run them.

Overall, I don't know why someone whouldn't want these! They are great speakers for music and movies, and they have a realistic sound you can't get with 100% direct radiating loudspeakers.

KLIPSCH, A LEDGEND IN SOUND!!!

    Appreciate the review and it was my last stop before purchasing the RF3II speakers, along with the center, surrounds and the sub! I pick them up tomorrow (along with a Yamaha 1300 to drive them).

    Good review. However, the horn-tweeter can be fatiguing to some (me) when listening to high female voices or brass at moderate to loud levels even after a short time. Has adequate base punch but not very deep. My 2 cents, audition and judge for yourself. Paradigm and Infinity Alphas are good alternatives.
