what are the limitations you're referring to? I know this post is over a decade old, but I hope you still see this comment come through. Back in 2009 I purchased the WF-35, WC-24, WS-24's and a RW-12d Subwoofer. I was powering this with a Yamaha RX-V3900. This replaced an old Pioneer AVR I had and a Bose Accoustimas system. I loved how this sounded in comparison. I never did an A/B comparison though. Once the new Klipsch came in, the Bose got packed away and eventually sold, as well as the Pioneer AVR. I don't remember what the differences were, other than more bass, but I know the overall sound was much better. I have had the same system for nearly 15 years now and have been very happy. I have not listened to any other speakers since. None of my friends have any interest in Audio equipment, and the ones that appreciate good audio can't afford a good system. My system is the one my friends are impressed with so I have no available systems to listen to that are potentially better. 15 years later I need more modern components, Ie 4k tv and AVR, and might as well replace everything. I have purchased a new TV and AVR(Denon AVR-X4800H), plus I got a new emotiva XPA-5 Gen3, 4 in ceiling speakers (Klipsch CDT-5800II), and a Klipsch RP1200SW. I'm wondering, how good are my WF-35's actually? I know I liked them better than my Bose, but I have never heard a "high quality" speaker before to compare. I've heard some reviews saying the WF-35's are incredible sounding for the price, but I've also read that they aren't that great and that's why Klipsch never continued with the line. The positive things I've read about these speakers always state, "for their price". Does that mean more expensive speakers sound better? How much better? As someone that has owned them, as well as many other speakers, how do they compare? Do you think they are worth keeping and not upgrading? Obviously you replaced them. Would I notice a big difference if I went with something more modern, like the RP8000FII? or would I need to go even higher end to notice an appreciable difference? If you see this, any insight will be greatly appreciated. I would like to replace my entire 5 bed layer speaker setup if it makes sense to. I would be basing my decision on the towers and build around those. You're the first person I've come across that has had these speakers as well as many others so I figured you were the perfect person to ask if I should replace these and how much better sound I could get with newer speakers, if any. Thanks!
