wuzzzer Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 I have an opportunity to pick up a pair of RF-3 II speakers for the same price that I bought my RF-25s for. I don't think I'd have any problems selling my RF-25s for at least what I paid for them. My question is, is it worth the hassle? I'd be able to drive and get the RF-3 IIs so there wouldn't be any shipping charges I'd have to pay. The specs seem pretty similar - 97db/1 watt versus 98db/1 watt. Do the 8" woofers make a noticeable impact on the sound? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted January 1, 2006 Author Share Posted January 1, 2006 If anyone could shed any light I'd appreciate it. I have to let the seller know ASAP. Thanks![8-|] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quadklipsh Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 heard the rf 25s in a shop have the rf3s myself at home the shop demo room was big n wooden with reflections n stupid acoustics but so is my room ,lolz,but half the size though the rf 3s r a powerfull speaker u can literally throw tons of watts at it without distress but the rf 25s were also pretty strong however the larger woofer did have an edge,in handling of louder notes rf3s go louder ,bigger better n less harsh even when i play em placed in my living room wch is twice my room and feels strong everywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montigue231 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Wuzzer ive had both and listened to them in detail..The RF 25 s have a smaller sound stage and a much tighter bass than the RF 3 s. Id go with the RF 3 IIs. if your getting a good deal its a no brainer. also the RF 3 IIs have a great midrange sound..i loved mine...look at audioreview.com..they have more reviews on those RF 3s than any other klipsch speaker ever made..Klipsch put them together very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darylomer12 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Mark, Definately get the RF-3's. They have awesome imaging and if positioned correctly, a great low end. The very first klipsch towers I ever heard was the RF-25's and they really didn't do anything for me.... AT ALL. You will dig the RF-3's...

wuzzzer Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Guys, this post was from 2006. Those speakers are looooong gone. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I have a pair of RF35's and IMO, I would hold off on the switch until you find a deal and can jump into the RF 7's, it will be worth the wait. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
