    Speaker Help

    I'm looking for suggestions, I really like Klipsch, but I haven't made up my mind. I have a Rotel RB-1050 to power the front and 2 channel audio. And a RMB-1066 for the center and surround channel in a 7.1 system. Anybody have any speaker recommendations>

    Uhmmm....

    Call me crazy but how about Klipsch?

    Especially if you really like them...
    Digital Audio makes me Happy.

      Klipsch Speakers Yes. I agree with Pewter

      I have had several Klipsch speakers over the years, including Klipsch Horns. My favorite of the lot are RF-7's. These can be had for $1000 to $1200 used. I would not have them shipped or any other bigger heavy speaker. Local pick-up only. I have a rather decent system feeding my RF 7's and I have made a multitude of tweaks in the past 2 years. The RF 7's just keep sounding better every time I make a good upgrade or tweak. Truly a remakable speaker. Not too big and about 85 Lbs. There are several Klipsch Forums.

        Agreed!
        I have heard Zmanbands system and those RF 7's sound V nice indeed.
        A wonderful choice for 2 ch music.

        As always, AIMHO.

          Former RF-7 owner here as well, for the $$ spent very good especially when paired with tube gear, IMO.

            RB-1090 with Klipsch RF5?
            by AB11
            Is anyone running this combo? I know a few here have RF7s and love the 1090 but what about the RF5?

            RF7s might be in my future but for now the 5s are here and I am curious to know if the 1090 works well with them.

            RSX 1065 & RF7s?
            by indyluke
            My 1065 sounds good for movies but for 2 channel listening the sound is lifeless unless the volume is very high with my RF 7s. I do not have a sub . I am ready to upgrade and was wondering how much difference an additional amp would make. Also, would a good sub help the 1065 drive the RF 7s. CD player...

            DIY vs Klipsch
            by INFURNO
            I really enjoy DIY projects and I'm pretty handy with everything from a drill press to a soldering iron. I'm fascinated with this DIY speakers scene. Browsing forums, doing a lot of reading on a number of subjects I'm not very familiar with, and really interested in getting a project going.

            Upgrading Center speaker
            by DL86
            I am looking at upgrading my center speaker to either a klipsch RC-64 or a paradigm CC-690. My current main speakers are a pair of paradigm studio 100v3. I have read about huge difference's in sound between klipsch and paradigm but I am after a more lively sound than what my studio 100's currently give...
