They are really that good huh jeffgeorge? Well yea,i ll most probably go for the RB5s.I m an overseas student who ll be in Australia for the next five years anyway,and the bedroom is the only place where i ll be listening to my music.So wont really be worth it spending huge amount of money on speakers and then send them back to Malaysia at the end of my course.So you guys think that i ll be in hi-fi heaven with the Laurels and RB5?I m using the Foreplay as the pre-amp. My current speakers(which are 88db)are B&Ws.Should they be alright with the Laurels?I m no engi-student,but i believe the speakers will drain my tubes faster than normal rite? I ll try them with the Laurels and if they dont sound right,i ll go for the RB5s then. Thanks a lot guys,reply reply reply,would like to hear a lot more from you experts.Thanks Regards, Choy.

Thanks Randy,for the warm welcome,just cant wait to have the Laurels running. But really,i dont think i can accomodate those speakers in my room.They just wont have a place to sit.I d have to stick to bookshelfers for now.Arent there any good bookshelfers that would compliment the Laurels well enough?At least like marmalade with peanut butter? Thanks.

Thanks guys.And thank you mobile homeless for reminding me that this forum thingy is interactive. Yea,basically,i m running now on my pair of B&Ws(DM303) which are rated 88db.Wonderful budget speakers for solid states.But the Laurels would have to work hard to push the speakers ,and speaker clipping is one of my concerns. But basically,i just want better sound from my system and want to fully utilize the 'wonderfullness' of the Laurels. I ve heard some horn speakers like Lowther and others which i dont know their names at a local hi-fi show.Just love the sound of those horns.But horns add colorations to the music that they reproduce dont they?and are particularly hard for me(a very immature newbie) to maintian or build a pair. I d definately love to build a pair of speakers myself ,but given my situation(i dont have access to good tools and a workshop and so on.) What other speakers would you guys recommend me other than the klipsch RB5?I myself dont wanna limit my options just to the speakers that i can get thru my local dealer. My room is relatively small(my bedroom actually)and i guess a pair of bookshelfs or maybe small floorstanders are acceptable .But yeas,high efficiency would be a must.I probably would dwell into the world of 2A3s or 45s in the future.But for now,just let me enjoy my new pair of Laurels. Would love to hear from you guys soon.recommend me good speakers at reasonable prices please. Thanks again guys. Choy.

Hi Guys, I m new here. Well,i have a pair of Welborne Labs Laurel IIX 300B and i need to look for a pair of speakers to match the amps.I am thinking of the RB5s as my listening room is only about 12'x12'x10'. Have you guys got any suggestions or opinion? Would love to hear from you guys,everyone of you! I listen mostly to Jazz and Rock,and sibilances always get me up to my nerves.Any recommendations accepted! Thanks guys! Choy.
