Definitely a better speaker than the Infinity and Klipsch. I would not but Klipsch because their speakers tend to miss out on mid-range. The Polks will work better with higher end receivers and will shine with separate amplifiers.

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

I don't know about the Infinity's, but I will tell you that I love the Polk Audio's. They almost sound just as good as a home stereo. In my opinion you will not go wrong with the Polk Audio speakers

Actually since your using the RF-42 II the recommended rears are the RB-41 II. I have the RF-42 up front 3 of them.nand a set of the RB-51 as surround L&R and the RB-41 II as surround back. If they seem to over power you can always turn the lvl down on their channel. I bought the RB-51 II for better sound with all zone and channel playback of music. Love my klipsch!

I don't have the r6 but the s4i are good the mic is good, but also you can check the senheiser cx 685, or the meelectronics for running. Those are better. The meelectronics for running are really good. But the klipsch are better in sound.

I went with the Polk Audio RM6750 5.1 set. Plenty of volume, no distortion, nice range and they look great. They're currently going for $258 here on Amazon. If you search a bit you can find them for $200 somewhere else (hint: egg). These speakers are good. For $200 they're a steal. There are better speakers out there, but none that I know of that are better for the price.

I replaced a Velodyne which originally sold for $2500 years ago and the Klipsch does an great job in a large living room.I am not familiar with the other brands except Polk which I use for outside speakers.

I haven't listened to the Klipsch 100 watt sub yet but in my opinion there is no floor stand speaker that can replace a good subwoofer. Maybe the super high end speakers but nothing I have heard yet. I own these along with a pair of 52's and 42's. I would recommend the 52's and spend a little more on a sub. Both the Klipsch 350w and 400 or 450w sound amazing. If I simplify I will be keeping the 52's over the others.

I just bought a second pair on eBay to replace a pair of Infinity bookshelf speakers. There probably better speakers out there, but they are incredible for the price.

I am pleased with these bad boys they hold everything my only I 135 watts per channel gives it. Now are they better than the reference series not sure. I just brought the 52 reference center channel and I LIKE it!!! The tweeters are really high with the f30's.I'm so happy with klipsch but now trying to save my hearing.

Dear Grant, Thank you for your inquiry. Klipsch designation of speakers makes it easy to determine cone size. An RF62 means (2)-6" woofers, just as an RF52 means (2)-5" woofers, and so on. Each size increase will give you improved imaging, and better bass. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance. Regards, Eric Cohen World Wide Stereo

I have 62's as my surrounds, so I cannot say for certain. That said, the center channel is an excellent speaker, comparing favorably to my much more expensive polk CS 350. I suspect they have the same tweeter, which is the most important factor in speaker matching. They are close enough where you could probably only detect the difference with an analyzer.

My research found a few forums that that claimed the RB600 was the Canadian version of the RB 61 II and that Klipsch over produced for Canada and was selling this speaker in the States discounted to help balance inventory. I don't know if this is fact or rumor. When I took the speakers into IQ audio for a compare (not with RF 62 II) the stereo expert, mentioned that the RB 600s may use a different cross over than the RB 62 II. I had the space and went with the RF 42 II towers, no regrets, a big difference in sound for my location.

I'm not sure but I would recommend the Klipsch S4i instead, aprox. same price but much better and a lot more comfortable!!

The Klipsch Quintet III system is way better than the Energy Micros. I know they are not the same as the classic, but I was offered the Energy Micros since the classic was discontinued. After comparing the two systems, there was no question that I had to return the Energy Micros and pay the associated "restocking fee."

I bought a pair of Infinity's P163 speaker. They easily fill our little living room / kitchen with great sound.
