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

Speedball,
I am using a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated with their a3.2 cd player. I am also using a Rel Strata III sub. For cables I am using Signal. I felt the RB- 75's are behind the Studio 40's in the midrange.
Though the Paradigm's sounded better to me than the Klipsch's I am hopefully going to upgrade speakers within the next year.

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 bought a pair. They were awesome in the store. WOW!
They should be here any minute...I will let you know. BTW...What is the best way to burn these suckers in?

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.

I purchased the RB 75 three months ago. Using them with Rotel RC 1070 pre amp and rb 1050 smp.I am not an audiophile by any stretch but I really am enjoying this setup. I have heard that the combination of Rotel and Klipsh makes for a 'bright' sound. I have wondered what ezactly the 'bright' meant. Jack
