yeah....... the Pro Media, thats the computer speakers right? but i am still undecided if i should get the RF-3II or RF-5

yeah, i do like the cherry finish for the RF-5's, and the RF-3II's are only black, i also heard the RF-5's have a completely differnt tweeter then the RF-3II's but here's the deal: I am 15, and have the JBL ND310's they are not bad speakers, i just want something more clear in the mids/highs, and just a new brand name i have about $250 already saved, and can find the RF-3II pretty cheap online ($560+shipping) and the RF-5's are a good amount more ($1,100+shipping) i just don't know what i should do, i had the crazy idea of getting the RF-7, but then told myself $1,600 (found them online for that much)is too much for speakers (for now) I would be REALLY happy to get the RF-5's used for like $700 somewhere, but noone has any used also i heard alot of people said Klipsch are really really bright, and are hard to listen to for extended periods of time...........is this really true? as a last note, my next speaker upgrade, well i didn't want it a step up from my JBL's, i wanted 2 steps up, i mean the next speakers i get, i will have for 5-7 years, and maybe even longer, so i want to make sure i am happy, but am i really making the right decsion? Thank You -Rick

so should i get the RF-3II or spend the extra $$ and get the RF-5? would they be theat much better-sound wise?

i never said the JBL's don't have enough bass, they will go to tremoudous levles (then the amp starts to clip) yeah i like my bass, i also have a sub, a DIY, 12" 150watt (getting a better driver sometime, but for now its ok) i am also reading reviews and stuff, and how much of a differnce is there from the RF-3 II and the RF-5? they both use the same woofer's and i think tweeter (although horn is bigger on the RF-5's) but do they really justify the extra $$$? and as a last note, how do the RF-3 II/RF-5 compare to the PSB 6T?

Hello, this is my first time posting on the Klipsch fourms, but i have used audio review, and i have a website dedicated to audio fourms ok, my question is, i currenty have JBL ND310's and plan to upgrade in 1-2 years, i was looking at the RF-3's, but i want to get a bigger step up from my JBL's (RF-3's are 1 step up, the RF-5's seem alot better) and i was wondering, my JBL's are 3-way with dual 10" woofers, now the RF-5's are 2-way with dual 8" woofers, but they also have to work the midrage, so will i get the deep and tight bass from them like my JBL's, or if i try to get good bass, will it over power the midrange and make it muddy? my current system: Sony TA-2650 <---vintage integraded amp (1978)45wpc, very clean power, and consertivative (don't plan on upgrading, unless i find a really good deal on something else vintage, mostly a Pioneer SX-1250)but it powers my JBL's to nice levels and they are 91db sensitivty, and if i get these Klipsch, and they are 98db, then it will be even louder, so i don't plan to upgrade the amp Sony ST-3950 <--- vintage tuner (1977) really nice, never plan to upgrade it Nakamichi CD Player2 Limited <--- its a Nak cdp, very nice, and will never be upgraded (well, only when SACD really is big) and i use a RCA 10 band eq. with spectrum analizer, people don't like these, but it makes my system sound alot better, so i will keep using it i also have a pair of vintage KLH model seventeen's (one of the pairs Henry Kloss designed) and use them as secondary speakers (never getting rid of) but this really has nothing to do with the Klipsch though so what do you guys think, will the bass from the RF-5's be enough to make me happy, without makeing the midrage muddy?
