Author Topic: What's everyone's opinion on Klipsch speakers? Haris Ellahi Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Dubai, UAE Registered: Mar 2017 posted 12-08-2017 09:45 AM                    Specifically the top-of-the-line speakers such as the new RF-7 III? The JBL folks on the AVS Forum hate Klipsch speakers but then "Klipscholics" love them. Wanted to get some opinions from here as well.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 12-08-2017 10:35 AM                     In the cinema they tend to always be shrill and not so good. I love mine at home and have nothing but good things to say. Using some older model RF-62 mains, and some SB and SC lines for the center and rears. Subs are also klipsch and not too bad (I use two of them). I have them paired with a Pioneer THX select receiver and have great results.

Once upon a time they were like Bose, you either loved or hated them (depending on whether you had spent $$$ on either, I think). Now that they've abandoned the horn loaded bass bins they might be very nice. Very few speaker brands - especially high end - use horns for HF now though... personally I have Altec 604s so I have no prejudice against horns.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 12-14-2017 02:46 PM                        Old ones could be good IF you avoided about 90% of the models. New ones, I don't know but word is that they are good. (Old ones had multiple drivers and horns and the "picket fence " effect would wipe out 2-4 seats midway through the width of a theatre several times.)  |  IP: Logged
