Have you heard the Klipsch RB-75 speaker?


In the July issue of SmartMoney Magazine, rocker Lou Reed, listened to 5 speakers including the Klipsch RB-75, Martin Logan Clarity, B&W 704, Infinity Primus 360 and the Bose Acoustimass 5 Series III. Reed reports he was astounded by the sound of the Klipsch and gave the Klipsch speaker the SmartMoney Award for the best sound because of its clarity, detail and ability to provide bass. I wish he would of listened to different music on several other speakers but that is another topic. Has anyone heard these $1,200 speakers and what are your comments? Thanks

I bought a pair used and am very happy with them. Have a nice smooth high end, not harsh even at high listening levels, no listening fatigue, very good performers with Carver Sig Sub sub in a 13 by 14 foot room, very detailed sound, heard things never heard before, great for percussion, no harsh cymbals, very efficient

sound stage a little smaller from horns but then you do not get muddled sound from early reflections, probably more of an ideal speaker for most home listening environemnts as few people have the room for speakers that require 1 metre (3 feet) from room boundaries

previously had thiels 3.5 sounded horrid in this room, very bright, harsh at high levels, high listening fatigue, was surprised Klipsch bettered this so called audiophile speaker

Klipsch name is not associated with serious listening now as it was before, take a look (listen again) again
