chrismv Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 First set of Klipsch speakers for me (not counting ProMedia). Was convinced on some used RB-35's for around $350. Dropped by a store today and they've got demo model RF-35's for $650 closeout - cosmetically perfect, nothing looks or sounds amiss; is that really such a good deal? New in box RB-25's on closeout for $500. I'm conflicted as I plan to begin expanding my purchase into a HT within the next 2 years. Seem like the bigger deals like the RF-35's won't be around until Klipsch refreshes the line again? TIA, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H. Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Chris, The Prices are good for each model. I would suggest the RF35's and the RB 35's Plus the RC 35 center. If Money is tight start out with the RB 35's and later get the RF for the Front and move the RB's to the rear..........Good Luck Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffDurbin Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Are you in Canada? MSRP on RB-25s is $400. I got three pairs of floor model RB-25s for $212 per pair plus sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it is not great either. Many dealers sold out of the Reference III series and transitioned seamlessly into the Reference IV series. As for the 25 vs. 35 debate, definately take the 35s over the 25s if your budget will allow it. IMHO, the bigger speaker provides a fuller/richer sound and is worth the extra money. Now consider this, you can buy new RF-82s for $100 more than floor demo 35s. I have seen other posters state they paid $750-770 for a pair of 82s. I paid $740 for mine but it was part of a larger package which may account for the extra savings. RF-82s RC-62 CDT-5800s (rear) CDT-5650s (surround) RW-10 AW-650s out back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
