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

I saw that article at J&R's when in NYC recently. Instead listened to the RF35, a floorstander that sells for about the same $$. Being a somewhat jaded former audiophile (if such a thing is possible), I was pleasantly surprised. Then, back in Chicago I heard more of the floor standing Reference line and actually preferred them to comparable B&W 600 series speakers.

They are forward sounding, yes. But the larger ones have an authority and swagger like the real thing. As well as 90db+ efficient. I'd love to hear them with a nice tube amp next.
