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'm not frustrated anymore.........:^)

For two channel listening my new RF7's are just fine and Home Theatre is the best.

Valinar,

Might I ask with what amp are you powering your Studio 40's to achieve satisfaction?

Right now My new Studio 40's are boxed and ready to go back for a trade in on a couple RF7's or RB75's.
With my 120 watt Sonograph amp running through a Denon reciever the highs are out of control and a very boxy sound in the mids exist. I also auditioned the Signature 40's with a Krell 400 integrated and noticed the same boxy sound.

.........................very frustrated.

Thanks Valinar,

I now have the RF7's and am researching the many ways of amplification. Your M.F. integrated and CD player look like a a nice pair.

In the distant future I hope to have something from Tyler Acoustics. I've read many good owner reviews and there are many cabinet finishes to choose from. The unusual looks of their floor standing units are interesting too.

I just played FM radio through my RF7's and they are fine.

Even though I went with the 7's I'd still be interested in hearing how you like them.
