Thirsty Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I bought some garage speakers, Klipsch RB 61's for a $150 off Craigslist. They sound amazing. Big improvement over the Bose 201's they are replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Great score! I used to own RB-61s myself, and they are excellent speakers... [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks, they do soung great. I been using Klipsch F2's towers in the living room for years and I think these may sound as good, better? I havent done an A/B comparison as I bought these exclusivley for the garage.

runninshine Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Nice score, I am all about speakers in the garage. If I had another place to put the cars I would put the La Scalas out there. [Y] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 Haha, I hear ya, I spend alot of my free time in the garage. It is the one place where I make important decisions like what will be played for music and what kind of beer goes in the fridge etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Y] That's some cool little speakers for the garage, how they sound out there, I would guess pretty good with the open space. [6] build yourself a little sub and make the neighbors mad.

Thirsty Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I have been thinking about building a sub, I built one for the living room. My wife is having a rummage sale this weekend so the garage is full of stuff to sell, I am kinda annoyed, will be happy when its over. If I shut everything up tight I can play fairly loud without encroaching into the neighbors windows, but when the garage door and windows are open I need to be careful. But you are right a sub is in the future. Oh yea, you asked how they sounded? I have them sitting on adjustables shelves in the top corners, They are out of the way and wont get damaged, they sound good. As you probably well know garages dont have very good acoustics but all things considered they sound great. Lacking a little bass but like we mentioned a sub will take care of that. edit, Here is how I have them , I know it is not ideal for "critical" listening, but they are out of the way and actually sound good.
