wvu80 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I suggest instead of $150 you offer him $200 if he'll keep the Bose... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjptkd Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 That would of been a steal if they were the 5's. I'm sure the 3's are still worth it but more of an every day kind of price? There's two sets of RF-5's close to me right now but for $600 (Maple?) & $750 black. I've never had or heard a pair and am curious to check them out someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, 5's for $150 would've been a steal. 3's, 5's - only 25 watts & 5hz difference but each model has their own distinct sound. IMHO: 82's & 5's are pretty darn close, so 82's could be used to gauge 5's value "if" you are considering those 5's that are local to you. Keep in mind that 5's have spotty availability, whereas 82's show up quite frequently. Edited November 27, 2015 by Arrow#422 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Still a good price for 3s. They run 250-350. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjptkd Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've had two pairs of 3's already, think I paid $150 for each pair. They were ok, I'm sure as part of a theater set they'd be just fine. The 5's have the larger horn and real wood veneer finish plus "Audiophile grade crossover component's?" At least according to Klipsch spec's. I really don't know how much of an improvement the larger horn would make. Both the 3's and 5's use the same woofers in roughly the same volume cabinet. I like real, quality wood veneer but honestly on a slim tower or bookshelf speaker with a grill cover on, how often are you ever going to see it? Since I haven't had a pair of 3's in a few years I'd have to put them up against the RB-75's.
