Klipsch, high end?

I often hear statements regarding Klipsch speakers as being a very good speaker for use with low powered, mass market receivers. Does this make Klipsch a "cheap" or low quality speaker? In other words, How well would Klipsch (specifically the KLF-30,RF-3 or RP-5)Hold up in a high end system of multiple Bryston amps and a Proceed AVP? I was considering one of these Klipsch models and was wondering if they would be up to the task.

No, Klipsch speakers don't sound good with AVRs, which is the major problem, because that's what most hear them paired with. 

The 3rd iteration of legacy models are far more refined in the treble and mid-range than most of their HT towers. Anyone who claims they're nothing but harsh and fatiguing hasn't heard a legacy model paired with a competent PP tube amp.
