willum24 Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 So I originally wanted to buy a pair of LA Scala, but I am looking at a probable move from the Chicago area to Phoenix, AZ. I'm looking to buy a pair of bookshelves that hopefully will have original boxes to make the move easier. I will be an apartment dweller, but I need decent horns with woofers that won't have my wall-sharers in a frenzy. Thanks in advance for any responses. Local zip code is 60098.

colterphoto1 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If you can have rear ports - RB5 or RB5II will smoke any of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) If you can have rear ports - RB5 or RB5II will smoke any of those. is this because the horn size? how about keep your eyes peeled for some rb-75's. or i have a pair of the new RP-160's just sitting since i bought them. they have been demoed for about an hour and thats it. i have the original box and would be willing to ship them.

Woofers and Tweeters Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) If you can have rear ports - RB5 or RB5II will smoke any of those. Very worthy speakers Edited June 12, 2015 by jweber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willum24 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I'll have to decline on the RP-160s. They do look nice, I just can't in good conscience buy them without having heard them. I am somewhat hesitant to try out the reference premier line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 how about keep your eyes peeled for some rb-75's. I second, and third that. Without a doubt, the best sounding "bookshelf" speakers(Heresys not really bookshelf speakers) I have ever owned and heard. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willum24 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 Decided to buy a pair of RB 61 ii's. 349 was a great deal, and they will have to do for the time I am an apartment dweller...if we like Arizona, I will buy a home down there worthy of my future LA Scala's. Thanks, guys, as always for the help, and I will be posting any deals from AZ and let you know if I'll be driving back to chicago if anyone wants something.
