Manuel Delaflor Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 My brother wants to buy some Klipsch speakers, we have seen the Ubid offers and the RP5 are constantly there for around $400 each. How does the RP5 sound compared to the new reference line? or the Heritage line? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted January 25, 2002 Share Posted January 25, 2002 Actually, the RP5 is part of the Reference line. It's basically an RB5 on top with a built in KSW-12 in each speaker. If you don't overdrive the built in subs they probably sound very good. They originally listed for $2000. Lot's speaker for $400 a piece. ------------------ deanG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Delaflor Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 thanks deang does the RP-5 were in production for little time? how come they appear to be the least reviewed Klipsch? (at least I can't find the reviews). I also want to know how they sound compared to both the new Reference line and the Heritage's I have the Heresy´s, and I want to tell my brother if he will be better with a pair of them instead of the RP-5's?

Deang Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 There will be more bass than the Heresy's - much more. RP5's will not be as dynamic as the Heresy's, but will still have considerable punch. The RP5's will sound warmer by comparison. I would probably prefer the RP5's over the Heresy's. That doesn't mean anything though because there are plenty here who would prefer the Heresy's over the RP5's. Think of it as ear candy. They are both sweet in a different kind of way. If your brother really likes the Heresy's - why not just find some used ones on eBay?
