Here's a quick and dirty photo of the RB-75's that I was able to pick up today. So far very impressive. Sounds a little thicker and denser than the P17b and RP160M. I like 'em too. I'll have to see how each stacks up long term.

Thanks Scrappydue,
I was EXTREMELY lucky with the purchases. basically 1/2 price on the P17-b's is a steal. I am very happy and so surprised how room filling they sound. Just a wonderful immersive sound and definitely a smoother tweeter.
I love my Klipsch.

No truer words have been said!
Congrats, down the rabbit hole you go, and it is a very deep hole but worth the trip!!

Congratulations Ric,
So happy for you. These are amazing speakers and glad you finally took the plunge.

Congrats Joe, they look very nice. I had a feeling the P17s would outshine the RP160s.
Just curious, are these for 2 channel listening, or for HT use?
Thank you. 2 channel music listening only. I'm not much of an HT guy. I love to have music playing almost all the time.
Very very nice.
They are beauties.
IMO, there is something special about a rocking pair of "bookshelf" speakers.
Are you still planning on pairing these to a future purchase A-S3000?

Hi Bill,
I'm still committed to the Yamaha A-S3000 and want it badly. I just saw a review of some B&W speakers and wouldn't you know it, the A-S3000 and companion CD player was driving them. I nearly fell on the floor. The reviewer loved the combination and in particular, the Yamaha. That sealed it for me. I hope to order in the next month or two.

Thank you so much guys. I am in complete awe of what I am hearing. I had them hooked up to my Bryston 28bsst2 amps for the day and now switched to a pair of McIntosh MC75 reissue amps. I freaking love these speakers.
Congrats! I've always wanted to try a pair out, bet they sound as good as they look.
Stunning, they look absolutely stunning. I can only imagine how pleased you are with them. Very very nice!
Congrats very nice.

I am sorry to say, but the P17-b are way better.
The RP160M hold their own and are amazing for $440 (current special) but the sound stage size, depth, width, height and overall quality of the Palladium is head and shoulders above. As it should be.
I never would have guessed that these speakers would deliver this kind of sound. Breathtaking.

I wasn't supposed to see these until Tuesday, next week but, I had them held for pick up and as luck would have it. I received a phone call to come get them. I couldn't wait.
Hooked them up on the same stands that I have, just to get them cooking.
OMG! These are some serious speakers.
Tremendous in the room presence, they play way bigger and go lower than their size/specs would suggest. I am in complete awe once again. I just can not believe it.
Please, please, please do not mention the floor standing P39-F speakers to me, I'll die.

Based on what I'm hearing with these RP160M's, I believe the 150's will be awesome, especially as your computer speakers. I'm sure choice of amp will make or break the sound.
-
Guys, I am blown away by how amazing these little speakers sound. I'm giddy.
I'm embarrassed to count up some of the money that I p*ssed away thinking I'm buying "the best". Here right in front of my face are a stellar pair of Klipsch speakers. If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up.

What's the general consensus on toe in? Do you run your speakers straight ahead or with a little bit of toe in? I think mine sound a little better almost perfectly straight ahead......
-
Yes, product of China.

I have not been this excited/happy since getting back into Klipsch.
I'd like to thank everyone for the encouragement.
I've wanted Jubilees forever, but not sure I can make them happen. These bookshelves have been supremely satisfying.
-
Thank you everyone.
Black. First pair of Black.

I think so. I'll be having fun rotating through them and hearing what differences exist between them. It will be a blast.
-
Wise words, thank you so much.
-
I think Spotify is 320 kbps. It's not perfect but sounds really, really good. With a nice, warm dac will sound awesome.

$650 and meeting face to face to pick up. That was the buy it now price. Started at $450 but did not want to lose out.
Mind sharing what you gave for them? The reason I ask is I also have found some I have until Tuesday to decide between them or CF4's.
-
Thank you guys. I can't wait. More to follow next week for sure.
-
And hope to pick them up on Sunday. They look like they are in great shape from the photos.

I think it will be a blast. I could not have, or would not have, taken the plunge without everyone's help.
