Just got the rf82ii a few weeks ago and they sound really good but I saw the new rp280f on sale and I'm still within the return period with the rf82ii. To those who have heard both is it worth paying an extra $240 to get the newer line? I know the differences on paper but just wanted to get some perspective to those who have had experience listening to each of them side by side. Thanks!

This is probably too basic for most of you, but this article helped a little bit in giving a breakdown of flat vs smiley FR for me. http://www.centerpointaudio.com/HowToUnderstandFlatFrequencyResponseGraph.aspx

Thanks futurist the link to your comparison was really helpful. Anyone have a link to comparisons of frequency graphs by model to see the difference between the way that the rf82 is compared to other lower end models? It is an interesting point with the way bass and treble is enhanced and makes a lot of sense especially with Best Buy grade speakers

MattSER this is exactly what I was looking for.. thank you for your insight and for the specifics. I actually plan on keeping the R28s and using them for my home theater- thanks for making my decision easier! -js- I am in the same boat as you- good luck on your search and I appreciate your input as well!

Hi everyone, First time post here. I have done a lot of searching and have not really found much on this topic. I currently have a pair of the R28F towers but saw that the RF82ii was on sale for $359. I know the debate between R28Fs basically being Icons etc (I did buy them from best buy). From those who have heard both I'd like to know if there is a big difference in sound/quality between the two. I did some basic comparisons on the actual tweeter being titanium vs aluminum and the woofers being cerametallic in the RF82ii, so I guess I am more looking for actual major differences in sound. My current set up is only for music and I'm using a Yamaha AS801 integrated amp. Thank you for the help! Robert
