Rich_Guy Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I still do absolutely love my RF-5's, love their sound and they are the perfect size for me. I have learned to find components that really make the RF-5's sound their best and really do absolutely love the way they can sound when well matched. The RF-5's really do love my MHDT tube DAC's a beautiful sounding pairing. One odd thing I've noticed my RF-5's have a watt rating of 250 watts on their original Klipsch serial number ID stickers, not the 150 watts as some others do. Maybe a Klipsch change of specs or something. Emotiva has used two different specs on my amps as well, rating my XPA-2 at first 250 WPC and then later I think they started to rate it 300 WPC. Anyway it doen't really matter as that is a continuous max rating and the RF-5's love more power. But as for an RF-3 and RF-5 comparison, I think the RF-5's really are a significant upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no trouble believing that - stock. 8 hours ago, Arrow#422 said: Now in auction mode with no BIN available.

Then again, I'd be getting over the shock of temperature differentials first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I don't like the 5s. I love the 5s. They got me started on this crazy journey. I still have a rough pair in cherry that I'd like to refurbish and veneer in something interesting.
