Dennis D. Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Salutes! I love my new RB-61 but seems I need some 'bigger' sound of Klipsch family. Heard commercial KP-201 that my friend owns, it's too powerfull and 'open' for 20 sq. m room, after all I love RB's more smooth and wide sound signature. Since room is limited I'm considering big bookshelf with front port. Wondering if 75's are really significantly ahead of 81's. They are quite rare, so what do I miss if buying 81? Would it be a compromise? Cannot audition both though, so had to purchase blindly.... Is there a big gap between those two? I mean a pleasure of listening to, not just bass/treble quantity.

I bought a pair of 81's brand new some years back for a bedroom system they sounded pretty good. Came across a deal on a pair of 75's and thought what the heck I'll try them out. Long story short the 81's went up for sale after just a few hours with the 75's. If you're looking for a "big" sound hard to beat the 75's. They are a little "mid" centric and benefit from a sub but lots of variables there, might have just been my room at the time. I had the P-17's, they sound very nice and clean but absolutely needed a sub, very thin sounding without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
