Hi, On reading some of these forums it appears you might be onto something, but in saying that the reviews are mixed so I'm not sure. I will need to break them in, the store where I purchased them from said 40-50 hours of playing time at low to middle volume until they settle in, I have been doing that and they do sound okay it is just the bass, it seems muffled, not quite as clear and crisp as it sounds on other devices. I will play around with the receiver and see if that alters the output quality. If you have any thoughts please let me know. Thanks

Hi, The speakers, receiver and CD player are all new. The "big Sound" really just refers to a rich sound with clarity from treble to bass, I don't need Gen Z big bass but I like crisp bass not muffled background bass which is what it sounds like to me, I don't run a sub woofer but should I with these speakers? The room is about 5 meters x 6 meters so it is maybe too small for these speakers? I will play around with the receiver a bit more as I'm not used to all the "extras" on the modern amps, I like the older amps and receivers for their simplicity so it just could be that I have the receiver set up wrong. If you have any feedback it would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, what I mean by "big sound" is that the music is full through the full range - treble to bass - The speakers have good clarity of sound but depending on what you're listening to it either lacks bass or a mid-range. An example of this is listening to The Cure or The Stranglers where they have a heavy but precise and crisp bass, yet on the RP280F's it sounds muted or muffled (in the background), I can't quite put my finger on it but there is something missing. Could be the receiver, which I'm still working out at present. My old speakers were a pair KEF C60's with a pair of Yamaha NS700X's. Hope this helps, I'd love to get this system balanced so I can enjoy it. Do I need a Sub Woofer?

I have just purchased a pair of Klipsch RP280F speakers with a Yamaha RX-V681 reciever and Yamaha BD-S681 Blue Ray disc player. These are my first Klipsch speakers as I have traditionally had a Yamaha and KEF set up. I feel the sound quality is poor, my old KEF and Yamaha speakers absolutely blew me away when I first bought them but these Klipsch speakers are disappointing, I am beginning to feel I have been sold a dog by a very good salesman!!! Does anyone have tips on how I should set this system up? I like big sound. listen to Pink Floyd, Steve Winwood, Black Sabbath, Led Zep, etc. I need to get some action out of these speakers soon or they'll be going to the landfill, HELP me Klipsch people. Lol.
