Pleased to meet you folks. I'm WillyBob. Woulda picked a different screen name had I known there is a billybob already. Please to not confuse or attribute my newbie ?'s to him. good to hear NC is thawing. I have family there. I shouldn't bother y'all with the fact that I have the doors and windows open. 75`. Been a mild winter in the SW, so far. Runnin' 10`+ normal. I Christmas'd myself a pair of R15m. My first Klipsch and 25 years since I had anything approaching good. Bad news ... I want more and bigger

do you folks commonly "mod" speakers? I used to play R/C helicopters. Not uncommon to upgrade parts.

thnx the spec show a significant difference. I have heard about "breaking in" speakers. Something I should be concerned with? These R15m's have a pretty full sound. I have tone controls set flat. The room is quite "alive". 12 X 25. Wood floor. Spartan furniture and no draperies. Wood wall covering, also. Beam ceiling. We sit on the floor, in front of the fireplace.

thanks for the quick responses. I am quite impressed with these little speakers. Bought them online, w/o hearing them. Nearest dealer is 60 miles away How do the 160's compare to the less sophisticated floor speakers? Cerametallic vs IMG Titanium vs aluminum .... I am not an audiophile. How far up the ladder can I go before I need a keen ear to tell differences? thanks again I won't pretend to not be new to high end audio could you kind folks recommend a center, compatible with 160's as fronts, R15m as rear. without breaking the bank. My sub is junk, too. Is my receiver up to it, or should it go bye bye?

Hi all, So, I decided it was time to upgrade my old speakers. I realize these are entry level Klipsch. They are vastly better than what they replaced. I have hooked to a Sony STR DG500. These are wired as fronts for now. Looking at a pair of R160M next I have several questions 1] Rear ported. Is there a minimum or more precisely an optimum distance to place them from a wall? 2] Related to #1. Would speaker stands be better? 3] is there a recommended sub woofer crossover frequency? thank you WillyBob
