    What to pair with Klipsch RF-3-II towers

    I'm just getting started on a inexpensive HT in my sports/game room. I grew up thinking that Bose was a great quality speaker. Obviously I had that all wrong.
    I recently purchased a pair of Klipsch RF-3-II towers with the matching center speakers for $316 and they sound fantastic, but what do I pair with these. I'm using a Yamaha receiver with a Polk audio sub and I own a few Bose cubes I could use for surround but love the full sound you get from the Klipsch. Also I love the Klipsch so much I'm already anticipating what to do to replace the woofer when the foam degrades. Any suggestions on additional pairing for my three speakers and what to do about replace the woofer

    I personally would go for Paradigm over Klipsch. I've heard many Klipsch speakers over the years and don't care for the sound of horn tweeters in general. But........that's just my opinion !!

      Moved to a new thread. You'll probably get more results outside of the Rotel forum.

        +1. While there have been some great speakers with horns , I would go with Paradigm over Klipsch without a second thought. In fact , after auditioning a lot of speakers , I did just that.

          Argghhh! I own Klipsch Amps and didn't even buy them!
          by JonMarsh
          For all I know, this is old news, but I just found out today- web sites have changed this week, blah blah blah, and now, Klipsch has bought Mondial Designs, makers of Acurus and Aragon amps, preamps, pre-pro's, etc. Most regulars on the forum will know that though I build a lot of my own electronics,...

          Not sure how many DefTech owners we have at the Guide but I thought this worth posting anyway. It seems the big BP2000tl and bigger BP3000tl powered towers are about to be replaced:
