need expert, experienced opinion, advice

[dthurmanj@gmail.com]

hey all, im a newcomer to site and i'm in the market for fresh klipsch meat! i'm looking used because being a college student doesn't lend itself well to expensive hobbies.

that said, i found used rb 5's and used f1's. both great condition. any preference or advice on what to look for and why on these or any other klipsch.

i've been all over the reviews and info blogs. the only model of klipsch i can find are the f1/f2. i dig them, but can't hear the rb 5 to compare at all.

no sub yet, will add later. medium size house. i want clean sound, that sounds good quiet as well as loud.

thanks

If you don't mind buying used, you could look around for Forte or Forte II speakers, or maybe some Heresy IIs. If you're patient and informed, you can put together a great-sounding Klipsch system for an affordable price.

BTW, welcome to the forum!

The RF 5's are great speakers but if you are a poor college student looking for your biggest bang for the buck try this. I like the old KG series and as luck would have it these 3.5"s for sale on the Forum are a steal at $100. Match them up with a Harmon Kardon 430 (do a search top right hand corner of this page). Coupled with a $100 brand new dvd player and you are on your way with the best $300 complete stereo system on the planet.

Thebes has got it right, if you're patient you'll find some really great deals on here and on craigslist. I thought about buying the kg 3.5 for 100 bucks if they weren't so far away.
