Jones Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Hi, I recently bought a pair of R51 PM's that I am very impressed with. Now I want to get something similar but larger for a larger room. I like the look of the R28 PF, but are they discontinued? After doing lots of searching it seams like Klipsch currently does not offer any powered floor standing speakers anymore, and neither does anyone else. Am I missing something here? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jones Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 Thanks for the replies. I notice a few retailers still seem to have a few left. Not sure if they are bluffing because they want me to rush buy before they are gone. I was hoping I could wait a bit and score a black Friday deal, but nobody seems to have them on sale. 999.99 everywhere. Funny that there isn't more of a market for these, in my opinion. I guess most people still just use an amp and passive speakers for towers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Ask if any open box or b- stock. And for sure free shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jones Posted November 18, 2020 Author Share Posted November 18, 2020 The amazon site above has a ton of positive reviews on these. I still can't find anything comparable by bose or sonos... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiva Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 There are quite a few powered speakers out there, you just have to look in a different direction, like these from Behringer. Quite a few people over at AVS forum have brought these into the home for music and home theater. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Behringer-Eurolive-B115D-15-Active-1000W-2-Way-Powered-Speaker/264855773912?epid=1800227504&hash=item3daaa262d8:g:oGwAAOSwJnRfVCQA Or these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/QSC-K12-2-12-Two-Way-2000W-Powered-Loudspeaker/233729688264?epid=7033537921&hash=item366b6002c8:g:2REAAOSw4PNfc2FF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a pair for $400 that just showed up on the Minneapolis craigslist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YK Thom Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 There are all sorts of powered floor standing speakers available right now. None by Klipsch at the present time though. https://myhomespeakers.com/the-best-powered-floor-standing-speakers/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks but don't think that will work as I'm in NH. I would also be skeptical about buying used speakers if they were not warranteed by a dealer.

Many of those speakers are not actually powered/active but there were a few good contenders. Unfortunately many of them also appear to be sold out. The KEF's look nice but still seems like R28 PF's are a better bang for the buck. The article was also unintentionally hilarious at times, like when they stated that floor standing speakers were giant and could reach as much as 3-4 "inches" tall. Yeah, still think I will probably go with the R28 PF, and I guess there isn't likely to a sale if Klipsch is no longer making them or anything comparable.

Jones Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 I've been looking a bit more a the KEF Q550. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07238Y3DM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1 How do you think these would stack up against the RP 28PF's? The KEFs have smaller drivers but there are more of them... Also hard to tell if the KEF's offer the same rear panel connections-especially USB-that I really like on the Klipsch. Also do not appreciate the the KEF's are sold without grills while they include grills in the pictures, I mean who does that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
