I always listen to music flat, and usually without a sub. It's not the lower frequencies I have issue with, it's more the upper midrange area in certain types of music.. When listening to Diana Krall (Jazz), the speakers sound amazing, almost life like, on the other hand with Fleetwood Mac, to me they sound completely off, almost like they are attenuating some frequencies, while boosting others in the high mid range. I wish I had access to a good spectrum analyzer to really figure out what the speaker response looks like. I'm probably being too picky, and like many others have said, it's hard to beat this speaker in this price range. Thanks for the input.

Hey Guys, hoping you can provide me some good advice. I purchased a pair of RF-82's a few weeks back after auditioning them at a local audio shop. It seems the more I listen too them the more I am disliking them. They sound great for some types of music especially Jazz, and blues. But for rock music, they are letting me down. It's almost like certain frequencies are almost painful to listen to, even at lower volumes. I've tried moving them to different rooms to rule out acoustic room effects, tried them on both my Marantz SR19 and HK 330 receivers, and I still can't seem to appreciate the sound. I could probably go back to the dealer and trade them in on some Paradigm Monitor 9's or similar, or keep them and use them for HT only. Does Klipsch make a speaker more suitable for music as apposed to HT in this price range? Have any of you out there had similar experiences? TIA, Marc
