Not sure what speaker you are looking for but there is a set of new Klipsch RF 62 II on A’gon for $650 free shipping they have dual 6.5 woofers and at 97db will not take very many watts to get them loud not sure about SQ.
Tower vs Similar Bookshelf?
I asked this question in an unrelated thread but did not get an answer so I'm going to see what kind of input I get by posting as a separate thread:
I'm looking at lower end speakers for my cabin.
I was looking at a certain brand and noticed their lowest end small tower speaker had a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter. These were the same woofer and tweeter that come in one of their bookshelf speakers. The towers cost about $100-$150 more than the bookshelf version. Both have bass ports in the the rear.
My question is: Is there any sonic benefit over the tower model verses the bookshelf model with essentially the same hardware? Better bass? Different crossover? Any thoughts appreciated.
