Review: Klipsch RF-3 Speaker

Category: Speakers

I first heard the RB-5's used as monitors and was completely taken off guard. I did not realize the sound that properly constructed horn speakers were capable of. I decided to purchase a pair of RF-3's for my home theater system, and found a used pair of RB-5 for the rears, and a used RC-3 for the center. This system retired my Magnapan speakers for good.

Maggies are fine speakers, and do many things very well. However, the Klipsch in my listening room are alive, and I sometimes have to remind myself that the performers are not in the same room with me.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and the performance of the Klipsch paired with my equipment.

I just bought these speakers in MINT condition from someone who upgraded to Definitive Technology floor standers. When I was in the market for these, the speakers under consideration were the RF 3 11s, the Energy C9s, and the Axiom mt 60i. The RF 3 IIs amazed me the first time I heard them and I bought them. Now my wife loves them too. I connected them to my new SONY DA2000 ES receiver that pumps out 120 watts per channel. The highs are crystal clear and the bass is really deep.

SACD, DVD - Audio, CDs and cassettes sound exceptionally good.

Equipment :
Pioneer Elite DV45A
SONY receiver DA2000 ES
Monster Bi-wire M series speaker cable
Nakamichi ZX7
