BurtonMercer Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I am looking to buy some Klipsch floorstanding speakers. The only ones I've heard recently are my friend's KSF 10.5s. How would you say the RF-3IIs sound compared to these? I think the price is about the same. Just curious before I head down to a dealer.

matthew2 Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I would say the RF3's are better. Way more detail, bass, and cleaner. Ive comapired the RFII's with some cheeper modeles, and the RF3's always win. GREAT speakers!! ------------------ Matthew Klipsch Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurtonMercer Posted April 22, 2002 Author Share Posted April 22, 2002 Thanks Matthew. I bought the RF-3IIs on Saturday to go with my Yamaha RX-V2200 and RC-3. They got swapped out with a 12-year-old pair of Polk Audio Monitor 10Bs. I'm fairly happy so far. They really shine when cranked up. I put on The Black Crowes "Lions" and turned it UP - Whoa!! The vocals and mid-range sound awesome. The downside is that I have no subwoofer(yet), and these speakers don't put out that much low-end bass. I'm so craving a sub for it to all come together perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew2 Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I find the RF3 have LOTS of low end. Lots of punch, and still rumbles the house. ------------------ Matthew Klipsch Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 For the subwoofer, you should look at SVS subwoofers. www.svsubwoofers.com ------------------ Coming soon...

fabulousfrankie Posted May 5, 2002 Share Posted May 5, 2002 I used to own the KSF8.5(I demoed the KSF10.5) and about a month ago I bought the RF-3II. Both are great speakers that offer great bang for the buck. However, the RF-3's are a much more musical speakers capable of doing everything a speaker does better. Just curious what price is your friend selling those 10.5's for? I tried to sell my KSF8.5's on ebay about a year ago. I put the starting bid at $180 for the pair I couldn't believe I didn't even receive one bid. I even had it up for 10 days! I ended up selling them locally for $225/pr ------------------ FABULOUSFRANKIE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
