How would these compare to the discontinued Klipsch iFi (mine recently broke)? The Klipsch iFi was a 2.1 system. Can speakers like these produce comparable sound without a subwoofer? And if you added a subwoofer would the speakers know to produce less...

I replaced a Klipsch 5.1 system with these and the clarity of sound is brilliant compared to the Klipsch. The base is moderate and I have not needed to add a sub yet (however the Klipsch 5.1 did have much more base but it had a sub)

Kind of an outdated discussion, since Klipsch has updated the Quintets to a new "IV" model, but it's worth pointing out that the Take Classic speakers are much less efficient than the Quintets and present a greater challenge for an amplifier to drive.

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

yes. you should be able to make a direct replacement. they sound very natural and balanced and have even improved over time. i have them in my 7.1 surround system and just took my previous speakers and put them on the wall over the tv and put these as the main front speakers on either side of the center speaker and it sounds great. they have plenty of timber but aren't bass heavy which is perfect for a media system since you have the subwoofer.

What exactly do you mean that a 7.1 system will never be used? I was planning on getting a 7.1 and putting 4 speakers in the living room with the TV and two in the adjoining kitchen area. No? Do you still get surround sound with 7.1 and are the Onkyo speakers really that bad? I was looking at either the 7200 or 6200.

Your higher end speaker manufacturers match and balance the speaker drivers and sizes for optimized sound between speakers. So, ideally, matching is better. For me, a lover of good sound, with few coins, you get what you can when presented on sale. I have the Klipsch RC-42 II center speaker, Wharfedale Diamond 10.4 side speakers and the 8" Yamaha sub that came with my Yamaha receiver. I've tweaked the crossovers, distance and volume settings and really love what I hear. When working with good quality speakers and a good amp, you can't go too far wrong!

If you are talking about Bose small speakers, my opinion is that there are lots of difference. Those small speakers are good for your living room etc. But Klipsch RB41 series and the center channel is very good for an entry level media room. Excellent sound and compact. Also the subwoofer is great. These speakers can be compared with Boston, Polk and Infinity book shelf speakers.

Did you somehow break these? I would definitely recommend reaching out to Klipsch. Most likely wear and tear or accidentally breaking these seen covered but it never hurts to ask and be honest about it. I love these headphones id be devasted if I lost or broke these. Luckily you could typically find another pair for under $100

I need to clarify something on my last answer... There are no built in subs in these speakers. They have dual 6.5 inch ported woofers. The low end sound they produce are more than adequate for my needs. If you choose to add a separate sub to your system, I feel you won't need much as this model of speaker carries the low end quite well

What kind of sound system? I have 4 of them in that I bought as replacements for blown speakers my dj. Equipment they can also be used as subwoofers

Logitech does not make any speakers that can come anywhere close to having sound quality on par with the cheapest set of Klipsch speakers. Forget everything you've seen about the amount of power because that doesn't tell you anything about how well it well sound. Both speaker systems get plenty loud. If you don't believe me, buy both and return the Logitechs after you realize how terrible they sound in comparison.

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.

The Z623 get my vote. As mentioned in my review, every time I adjusted the Klipsch speakers I tested they gave me static feedback every time I went to tweak them. Even my 12 year old heavily used and abused $50 Logitech X220 speakers don't do that.

I Have both and they both sound great! Klipsch go a little louder, but I have no complaints with either. My Klipsch are about 8 years old and still playing, Logitechs about 2. Go by price.

Yes these speakers are made buy Klipsch and sold as a sub with the name JAMO. And I use them with a Sony 7.2 and they sound GREAT!

I can't say they wouldn't sound better with a sub woofer, but I think they are fine just as they are and I think Bose did a good job with these speakers. I also have a set of Logitech speakers that I use on another computer that have a large sub woofer and they do sound a little fuller, but for what the Bose speakers are they sound very good.

Also, I couldn't recommend Klipsch any more than I already do to friends. Their customer service is absolutely top notch. I hope that you enjoy the earbuds if you get them.
