Well I drove down to Now Audio/Video in Winston Salem, NC last night and picked up a couple of RF3-II's and only paid $40 more than what I could have got them sent to me for, total price $702.90. I feel better about going to a store and buying something, especially after I listened to the RF3-II's in the studio room.
Anyway, I got them home and unboxed them, nicely boxed, I knew I was in the company of greatness. Got'em hooked up and fired up the Eagles Hotel California CD. I have had that CD for about 6 years and last night was the first time I really heard it, I mean wow, even at low volume it sounded good. The guy at the store told me not to crank up the RF3-II's until I had about 40hrs play time on them, but they are loud even without turning them up. Now I can't wait to add other R series speakers to my setup.
Thanks goes out to "TheEAR" for helping me decide which way to go.
