A number of years ago I had purchased a pair of RF-82's and RB-61's from Future Shop and an RC-62 from London Drugs.To make a long story short, the 82's and 62 ended up being open box items that had been re-sealed and resold as new. One of my 82's had a blown tweeter to make it worse. I ended up returning the whole lot because I was so pissed.
I ended up buying a complete Axiom system (which sound great) and I am very pleased with it, but I've always missed and have never heard a soundstage as open, large, and revealing as the Klipsch. I convinced my wife to let me buy a set of RB-61's for the living room last week and I am in audio heaven.
I've decided that when we move to a larger house I'm moving my current system to the living room and the theatre is being made completely with Klipsch. RF-7's ,RC-64 and RS-61's. For HT I just don't think anything else touches the Klipsch speaker for emersing you INTO the movie. I call it the Holy F*** Effect !!!
