john4u2c Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 Hey Folks, I have a pair of RP-5s, and was wondering, besides the sub-woofers in rp-5s, what the differences are between the 2 speakers are. I know the rf-3s have 1 more woofer than the rp-5s, and I remember hearing the rf-3s in a shop a while back and was completely blown away by how nice they sounded, thats why I went with RP-5s, and RS-3s, and dont get me wrong, Im happy with the rp-5s, but I think from what I remember, the rf-3s impressing me more. Could this be true? Does the 1 speaker make that much difference? Or am I wrong, or could the shop have had something else running and not telling me? Just curious....Thanks for replies in advance.

KLIPSCHHOG Posted November 13, 2001 Share Posted November 13, 2001 I remember when I first heard the RF-3's and the RP-5's and hands down the RF-3's were the winner. It seemed to me that the subs in the RP-5's kinda ruined everything. Please don't let this post get you down about buying the RP-5's as I know many people who are quite happy with them, but they just didn't do it for me. As for details in the difference because of the one midrange-driver VS/ the two mid/bass-drivers you may want to look at the specs on both speakers esp. the set crossover frequencies. In the end it all comes down to what sounds best to you. If you like the RP-5's the best then enjoy them, but if you prefer the sound of the RF-3's replace your speakers so that you enjoy your system more. ------------------ LSU PAINTBALL- We'll cover you with our balls!
