SilverSport Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 ...why after I write a little experiment where I proclaim that...at least to my ears...the Reference RB-5s I have sound inferior to the Heritage and extended Heritage I own...even losing out to the Klipsch Heritage familial voice of"lowly" kg1s that all of a sudden...while listening to the RB-5s they sound wonderful with full bass??? Hmmmmmmm...I stand on the cusp of picking up a pair of Speakerfritz built Klipsch Cornwall (IIIs???) and I am thinking of getting rid of my RB-5s cuz they just don't move me...I am listening to the latest from the Eagle's and it is rockin'!!! To paraphrase my nephew..."sometimes I just don't get you..." Wotzup wit dat???? Bill Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I am listening to the RB-5s with Mon$ter speaker wire (what, it was on closeout at Radio Shack [], Toshiba SD 2950 (remember the cheap CD player alternative riot???), and a updated McIntosh MA6200 integrated amp...with, perish the thought, Solid State power.

oldbuckster Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 What's to explain ? It's not the wire, all my speaker wire is Monster Cable that I bought on sale, so I think you can rule out wire. You are using a McIntosh intergrated amp, don't think that hurts you, and a cheap CD player, might be the CD player, but I doubt it ............. So, where does that leave you ? I think it's simple really: It's those Dam Voices again ......... You think they have gone away, but lo and behold, they're back !!!!!

edwinr Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The RB5's are personal favorites of mine. Not up to LS3/5a standards of course, but still great speakers for the money. I wouldn't compare them with anything Heritage though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderbender Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Cornwalls Kick A$$ !!! If I could only have one pair of speakers other than Klipschorns .....it would be Cornwalls...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I've always said that if I could have only ONE pair of Klipsch speakers it would be the Cornwalls. III's preferred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksonbart Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The real issue is that you are listening to the Eagles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
