Infamous RB-5's?

Well, 150 db is supposed to be able to stop the human heart... http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010406.html ------------------ Miles This message has been edited by MilesSpathelf on 02-06-2002 at 03:13 PM

I was just curious what people thought about the differences between these two nice bookshelves. My local dealer sold out of RB-5's and I only got to hear the 3's and I was impressed. Thanks for your time ------------------ Miles

Hello all, I just got a nice pw-2200 as a present and was wondering about cables. I'm in college so I'll be moving around a lot the next couple of years and was curious if it would be better to get a cable that might be longer than I need right now...but I might need the extra length later. Would the extra length hurt the performance significantly?...I'm looking at 8 meters right now. Thanks for any help ------------------ Miles This message has been edited by MilesSpathelf on 12-26-2001 at 07:12 PM

I'm looking at getting some nice bookshelf speakers for a 2 channel system. I loved the rb-5's, but I just wanted to here about some other possibilities to try out before I buy. I've heard good things about some of the paradigms, but I haven't had a chance to listne yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ------------------ Miles

Are the Marantz monoblocks (esp the MA6100) decent amps? Just curious ------------------ Miles

Hello all, I'm new to higher end audio, the promedia's got me introduced, and I was wondering if it was possible to use a sound blaster audigy as a preamp until I purchase a NAD. After visiting my local Klipsch dealer, I've become intrigued by a RB-5 II and marantz ma6100 combo (monoblock amplifiers). I would appreciate any advice. Also, does anyone happen to know if the paradigm pw-2200 matches well with the RB-5's? Thanks for your time ------------------ Miles This message has been edited by MilesSpathelf on 11-26-2001 at 11:01 PM

Hello, I was just wondering if there were any plans to make an RB-7, considering that there are RB-5's and 3's. Thanks for your time, Miles ------------------ Miles

my sentiments exactly... ------------------ Miles

I can't believe that all of these people are complaining about klipsch releasing better products. I mean no one is forcing you to buy these great new products. I still have the original v.2-400's and I'm extremely happy. I guess some people just like companies that don't have great engineers that think up new ideas to improve products. I'm also very tired of these paradigm people...if they haven't noticed this is a klipsch board and we don't need someone to keep telling us that there are better products out there if we spend more money...that's just common sense ------------------ Miles

Heck yeah the Paradigms are great speakers, I'm just saying that I feel the 5.1's are a good deal for (people in the US because they seem to be less expensive here) those that have 5.1 cards with analog output (AE, SBlive 5.1). I mean for the price of a good HT subwoofer you get a full set a pretty good speakers. ------------------ Miles

Yeah you can by the speakers to a nice HT setup, but that's about it for $800 CAN, or $517 US (no receiver, dvd player, speaker wire etc...) And what do you have against Klipsch anyway they make a great product at a very good price, at least here in the US, upset that you bought the 4.1's and not the new 5.1's ? ------------------ Miles

Well ant of them are good...the AE, SBl live 5.1, Jazz'a DE-006 decoders will all do the job ------------------ Miles
