whell Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 That's actually a pretty decent deal. Here's an even better deal, for anyone in the Detroit area: Detroit Craigslist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you say something negative against them, then they swarm on ya' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!............[]...Those speakers in Detroit are a good deal too, but like Albany, you would have to pick them up yourself, shipping would kill any price advantage..............

Arky Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 What are the reference series good for? 2 channel, multi-channel & home theatre. Excellent speakers with the distinctive Klipsch sound, just a different flavor than heritage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 Small world indeed! In '62 I was born at Vassar Hospital, and my dad's folks lived off Route 55 high on a hill near the Apple Valley Shopping Plaza, Klondike Inn, and Eberhard Builders for many years (my grandmom also worked at the hospital and at the cafe at Lucky Platts back in the late '60s). In '78 they retired to Florida, so I haven't been up to Poughkeepsie since then...wonder how much it's changed after all these years? Still remember Big Ben, the IBM plant, the annual Dutchess County Fair, and always loved the Sunday drives along the Taconic State Parkway (good times as a kid). As far as the Reference Series goes, I'm still a newbie after recently purchasing a cherry pair of RB-75s from member Ben Clarke, who bought them from Mark Deneen who had bought them from member capo72 (Jeremy). My dad's beloved '79 Cornwalls have been in all our household's multiple systems like forever (and now modded up the whazzoo in my brother's system), so I'm familiar with Heritage from that of family and of friends who also own CWs and Khorns. Since the RB-75s are the only Reference I've ever heard, I really can't comment on the entire series as a whole. But from what these TOTL bookshelf monitors can do, I'm very impressed with their non-fatiguing sonic qualities. IMO they're as refined as the Heritage, but with a slightly different sound...I can't really explain it...but they're sweet. I'm equally as thrilled with these RB-75s as I still am with the Cornwalls (and the CWs sound better still with the 2-way Altec 511B mods, like they're smaller versions of the Jubilees (heh)! Maybe not, but close). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
