Anyone listed to these vs the Klipsch RF-82 II? Impressions?

I picked them in a blind test over the RF-82. These speakers are for my den/game room and go along so well with the PL-28 II center annd the F-12 sub that I recommend them as a package, with what you save over the cost of the RF-82 II's you'll afford the PL-28 II center and the F-12 sub woofer with no problem.Good stuff at a great price.

Yes, several times along with center channel and subwoofer The system sounds great. Sure I like my PL-89's and stuff a little better but they are both good speakers .

Similar in sound but I think the build of the Klipsch's are a bit better. Can't beat the price and warranty on the BIC's though. If you have no budget go with the Klipsch, if you have a budge the BICS are a great option.

I was disappointed in the Klipschs due to a thumpy bass sound. Both speakers have a pronounced peak at 70Hz with the bass turned up. Turning down the bass on the Logitechs eliminates this peak while turning it down on the Klipschs doesn't. Otherwise the frequency responses are very similar except that the Logitechs also have a another peak around 40Hz with the bass turned up. While I haven't heard the Logitechs, the specs suggest that one should be able to get a flatter bass response by adjusting the control.

I would strongly recommend against that setup. One of the distinguishing features of any Klipsch speaker is their amazing sensitivity. The rf-7ii are a great example at 101db's. So, using a bruiser amp like the Behringer is completely unnecessary for achieving any goal. If you need them to go louder or just want more headroom for sound quality then I would suggest looking in the home amplifier arena. I have married pro audio with home audio before and its great if you are just going for huge sound for like a party in a big hall or something...but you need to use line level from your pre-amp to this pro amp and the volume increments will not line up as precise as you might like. Since you dont need a ton of power for these Klipsh speakers I would look for a solid home amplifier to just take RCA's straight from you pre-amp. I think you will be more happy. NOTE: the fan on this amp will be really annoying in a home set-up.

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.

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

As sensitive as those klipsch are you have more than enough power. Sometimes I power my klipsch rf 83's with my xpa200 there is more bass and a little more control but if it was the only thing I was using it for I wouldn't have gotten it for my klipsch speakers.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the same speakers from anyone and the one set I found were $105/pair used! I may end up with these from what I can tell. These are bookshelf speakers for use here in my basement.

For what it's worth, I have not heard the Klipsh system but recently purchased the Energy Take Classic 5.1 system. The speakers are quite small and I'm sure you get better sound than the Micro system. Unless you really have a confined set-up arrangement I would go with the Take Classic's. Combined it with the Yamaha RX-V371 single zone receiver which produces 100w per side and plenty of inputs/outputs and options. Together they sound very clear with enough low end for my taste. All in the system cost $700 including additional cables. BTW, Energy is owned by Klipsch, so you probably will not go wrong with either system. Detailed audiophiles might disagree with my assessment, but everyone has their own take. Good luck and good listening.

I too would be interested in hearing people's though between the Micro 5.1 and Klipsch HD 500, and perhaps also the Polk RM705

I have the KEFs and the ML Electromotion ESLs. Both are very good but I think the KEF is probably the better speaker overall. That said, if you have the right room either will be good. I seriously considered sending the KEFs back right up until the last second. Since keeping them I've worked more on placement and coupling to the stands and that's squeezed extra performance from the KEFs which makes me glad I have them. The logan's will be happiest if the room is larger and you can get them well away from the walls, I'm able to give them about 5 feet behind them and I don't feel like that's quite enough. I had an older pair of Aerius i in a larger room where I was able to give them 7-8 feet and the presentation always blew me away. With my smaller room now I haven't been able to extract the same magic from the newer ESLs even though I feel the new ESLs are tonally well beyond the quality of the older Aerius. The KEFs will make use of all the space you can give them too, but their different approach doesn't require it as much and with their limited bass extension they'll be happier in a smaller room.

Klipsch has an upfront sound with high energy and very clear treble. That's what a lot of people like about them and what some don't like. I love the sound with rock especially when played loud. Voices really come out loud and clear

I own the RB-61 II, which are not the same, but still have the Klipsch sound signature that so many consider extremely bright and fatiguing. What I have noticed is that they are way too bright with very bad sources. For example, bad 128kbps mp3s. With FLAC, CDs or DD and DTS soundtracks they are just magnificent. Every time I listen to music I am familiar with, a smile appears on my face. They simply sound awesome.

I have never heard Klispch. But my Polks sound great. They take some break in time. I have mine for about a month and they sound better everyday. Clear and accurate with good bass response.

Hey McFly, the SE846 sound is definitely more closed-back. It pretty much gives me near-complete isolation. The bass response is much better than any previous Shure models, and comes very close to full-sized cans.

Here is a pretty handy website--these have been a great set of ear buds http://gdgt.com/klipsch/image/s4i/specs/

I love the sound of Fidelios but find them heavy for running/gym. For that I use Klipsh S4i which are lighter and sound almost as good.

At that price I'd say you can't go wrong. I do think personally my PL-89's outperform the Synergy's. I find them more on par with the Reference series. Had them almost a year now and everytime I hear something else from them that surprises and delights my ears, not neighbors so much. Subtle at low volume and crystal clear at obnouis levels on anything you throw at them. Definitely have been worth every dollar I spent not sure I'd feel the same had I paid for Klipsch name. Full disclosure;I worked in high-end A/V for years and love Klipsch but for budget minded BIC is truly comparable and to 97% of listeners they couldn't appreciate the subtle differences.
