[Scratch on woofer]

Hello , i just received and unpacked my RP 260.

After a few minutes i noticed a light scratch on one of the two woofers (image attached).

Surely sending them back is not an easy option as i am from Greece and the speakers came from Austria.

 

My question is what happens in that case? Should i still contact the dealer?

Does this effect the sound at all ? This is the most important question.

 

Thank you

Hey op. I almost have the same set up. Rp260f Rp250cRp240s

I have not been disappointed. In fact I have been very impressed. These are my first klipsch and coming from paradigm.

They are very detailed and clear. Bought mine for HT and they excelled past my expectations. Some pink floyd on the rp260f rock. I honestly think unless klipsch drasticly changes anything I'll probably never change brands. I didn't mention the low end because we all know what klipsch can do.

Just curious what avr your using?

 

 

 

 

Hello . I haven't bought any receiver yet. I am between Pioneer VSX-1131 and Yamaha V681 .

I really can't decide. The specs are identical except of the calibration software. I read like 50-60 threads all around the web to find the best match for the Klipsch but i have seen all kinds of suggestions Marantz, Pioneer, Yamaha, Denon . Everyone says another opinion. Unfortunately i cannot find any of those two in a local store to test them with the speakers.

 

My last search is to see which brand is more reliable. Else i cannot find any other way in deciding

Congrats Alarm, how do you like them so far? Music and movies sound good on them? 

 

I don't know yet. I ordered them yesterday. So i will have them in a couple of weeks. Listening the R-28F and the RP-250F in the store i was amazed. I hope i won't be disappointed with the RP-260F

I like the fact of the dynamic sound and how much different they sound from other speakers. I've heard the Dali Zensor 7 as also the Zensor 5 and other speakers. Most of them have a very generic/default sound. Good speakers (Dali) i must admit, but they sounded like all-purpose speakers for music. On the other side Klipsch was amazing. I could hear all the details. I was listening to the live of Hotel California and it sounded much different. Like a remastered version. Very nice.

 

I will drop a few lines once i receive them with my thoughts.

I finally went with the RP Series and ordered following:

1x RP 250c
2x RP-260f
2x RP-160

 

I now have read somewhere that there are some deals for Klipsch, like free subwoofer . I could not find anything in the European region. Any ideas about this ?

Hello. I just came back from the store and listened the R 28F as i wanted to hear how a bigger woofer and the khorn sounds. I must said i was blown away by the sound compared to Dali Zensor 7.

 

Now on topic, lets forget the R 28F. I am finding at almost the same price the following speakers:
Klipsch RF 82 II and RP - 260F The horn as also the woofer seems to be made from the same materials (different size) . Both are rare firing. I think that i can be sure that if i liked the R 28F i will like also any of those two mentioned.  Yes the RF 82 have 25 Watts more but that is not something i do care about.

 

Further info:

•  The speakers will be mainly for Blues/Rock music
• I plan to match them with two RP-160 for home cinema, but priority is music.
• Lets take space/room size out of the equation

 

1) Which of those two speakers would you recommend and why?

2) Is there any difference in the RF and RP series ?

3) Which is a better match to the RP-160 ?

4) Does any of those two speakers have a more pronounced highs ?

5) Please suggest other bookshelf speakers if you think that the RP-160 would not match with the RF 82 or the RP 260. Maybe something from the RB series.

6) Is it a "must" to match the woofer size of the towers with the bookshelf ?

 

Thank you in advance
