@ dnous10, yes you read it write, hindi mo na kailangan ng sub, yan ang advantage ng mga speaker noon, it was been design intended for 2 channel only or stereo set up

Thank You Sir, balita ko ongoing ang production ng Forte III ngayon and the good thing is manufactured & assembled siya sa Klipsch factory sa Hope Arkansas  unlike ng mga HT series speakers nila. So now you can dream of owning it

Auditioned the R26F a few weeks ago at Spectra, very nice. I was looking for a floorstander and initially auditioned the ELAC Debut F5; was about to leave, when they offered me to listen to the R26F. Being more or less the same price, I would choose it hands down, over the ELACs. Midrange is about the same "fun" level as the F5s, but the highs offer more clarity and detail. I didn't take note of the amp used, but it was a NAD if I remember correctly.

NAD amps are good match to forward sounding Klipsch.

I paired my klipsch R15m's with Onkyo integra a817xd + svs sb1000 for 2.1 music setup. It sounded very good for me :)

I paired my RF 62 II with Nad 356BEE, but sadly bumigay na yung amp last week after 3 years of everyday use. Maganda yung combination ng Nad Sa Klipsch.

Balak ko bumili ng Emotiva PT 100 preamp + a300 poweramp. I know power headroom is good and my speakers can handle the 150watts of the a300. Pero for the sake of discussion lang, anong opinion nyo about sa 150watts per channel ng Emotiva a300 paired with Klipsch RF 62 II na 125watts ang power handling?

I don't think I have ever complained with having too much power. sabi ng mga nauna sakin na enthusiast, maganda ang busog kesa sa hinihingal na speaker. And in my humble opinion, you'd probably ruin your ears first before you blow up your speakers because its maxed out.

How's your denon x1300w perform? I am also planning to upgrade my AVR from Yamaha RX- V440 to denon x1300w .
I am also planning to get the Klipsch RP-440c first because of the good reviews online. ;D

I'm on all RPs for main, center, and surrounds (bipole). They sound amazing for movies and great for music as well (50/50 use). They are easy to drive and the clarity is superb. Don't know how different they will sound from just the reference ones though.

hi. x1300w is fine, though airplay is not as stable.

power is medyo kulang but based on wharfedale 8's (very low sensitivity). wanting to get the RP series kasi easier to drive per specs eh.

i went to manila to go with my wife for a convention, ended up bringing three klipsch speakers. lol.
medyo kinabahan pagdala as checked in baggage pero thankfully, no damage pagdating sa cebu.  the packaging is really sturdy.  i just finished welding some wallmount but looks like it has be scrapped as need to angle pa more to the listening position.

Recently upgraded to klipsch rp-160m bookshelf speakers from Wharfedale Diamond 220 over a month ago. Just want to share my possitive, noob experience with klipsch rp line.

Note, hindi po ako audiophile, hoping to be, feeling lang haha. Doesnt have a golden ear. Medyo marunong lang siguro tayo mag appreciate ng good sound ;)

Noticeable improvements over diamond 220, for me (very subjective):

Wider Soundstage - hindi boxy? more air and space ang sound

Crisp, forward, lively sound - hindi 'ngongo' (no offense with the term) ang highs, but not excessive

Deeper, fuller bass - mas natural, truer bass. Tipong hindi pilit.

Plus, I can listen to music using pure direct. Which is actually better nga for music (totoo pala). Cant do it with 220s on marantz avr, need to turn on audyssey eq.

Lastly, in my opinion, klipsch can handle 'almost' all kind of music genre from rock, alt rock, opm, rnb, pop (batang 90s type of music) to jazz with pleasurable experience.

Ps: not againts the diamond 220. Sure it got advantages depending on our needs esp its price (rp-160m having x3 price, bigger, heavier, 6.5in woofers). But for me who wants all around speakers, bit forward, revealing, lively sound, works good for both music and movies and doesnt have British kind of ears :D (mas prefer ata nila ang warmer sound?), klipsch 2 thumbs up.

Gears: marantz avr/intereted amp, pioneer SC avr (class d)

Sources: flac, mp3 via nas, spotify
