    Great condition with some superficial scratches on the tops. These are amazing speakers and are hard to beat at this price. Essentially the same as the RP-600M’s that were CNET’s speaker of the year. Original box and manual included. Buyer pays shipping from 13039 and PayPal fee. Price lowered to $275.$250.$240.

    Excellent condition with very low hours. Includes original box, manual and remote. A real powerhouse with integrated DAC and phono stage. Faint, almost imperceptible scratch on the top of the unit. I loved it, but I am selling off my bedroom system. Buyer pays shipping from 13039 and 3% PayPal fee. I have 20 years of perfect feedback on Audiogon (mcp) and eBay (fetzervlv). Happy to answer any questions.

    New to Klipsch! Love my RP-160s but disappointed with performance of classical music. What to buy next?

    Your room dimensions (13 x 13 square) are going to make it more difficult to get balanced sound, even with a subwoofer. I think someone earlier mentioned placement, and I agree with this. I don’t know if it is possible, but have you tried diagonal placement? This method can be effective in square rooms.

    My 160M’s sound very full in a 13 x 17 room. They are just amazing. My only gripe is moving them out a few feet from the wall on top of my 50 pound stands. For that reason, I bought a pair of RP-5000F towers yesterday. Much easier to move by just grabbing the rear port. Now, to determine if they sound better than the 600’s...

    Assuming 6.5" driver on the 160s and 2 4" drivers on the other (going by what's in the thread), using those figures, which are too large, the piston area of the dual 4s is only 75% of that of the single 6.5.

     

    If it's only 6.0 then the (still wrong) ratio is up to nearly 90% for the 4s.

     

    Has to be better bass from what you've got.  Can you drain the sand?  Or how about a second, lightweight set of stands for the odd occasions?

    Yes, I am considering draining some of the sand - good idea. I am now thinking about the 5000’s instead...two 5.25” drivers, so an increase in piston size and still easier to move at 37 lbs.

    I checked the specs on these ... supposedly down to 37Hz ... but really have NO CLUE how you could get solid bass out of 4 inch woofers :( 

    Therefore suggesting Heresies ... light, small and easy to move plus pretty good bass :D But, would probably add a sub.

    Thanks. I agree that it is hard to fathom that much bass extension from two 4” woofers, but I was also amazed the first time I heard Totem Arros. I have owned Heresies, I, II, and III’s. All great speakers, but I am enjoying what Klipsch has done with the tweeters in the RP line; there is a smoothness that I really like. Also,  I think I’m finished with subwoofers for a while - too difficult to get the blend right.
