i have about $700 to spend on a pair of speakers. From what i've read on here, the older stuff, like the cornwalls or Forte's seem the most impressive as far as sound. The only thing is that the looks of the RF-35's are one of the best looking speakers i have seen a while and will look much better in my house. do you think the sound quality of the older stuff is worth not being as happy with the looks? I know its oppinion, but from what i've read on here, i'd value any input. Thanks!
