Why did you think that Klipsch Reference speakers would be an "upgrade" over the B & W DM601's? I've owned both and I'd say that moving from one to the other would be a sideways move at best. They each have their own distinct sonic personalities, but one is not significantly *better* than the other IMO. The Klipsch are easier to drive, but that's about it.
Did those Klipsch RB25 speakers get shipped in their original boxes? I would never buy a pair of speakers from Canada unless they came with original boxes and packing materials. Much too much rough handling on a trip like that.

"Why did you think that Klipsch Reference speakers would be an "upgrade" over the B & W DM601's?" Mainly I wanted them because the 601's started to get compressed at higher volumes! The RB25's use better driver materials & crossover parts plus they are more sensitive & therefore faster! My idea of an upgrade is obviously not the same as others, but I wanted something better sounding (to my ears) that would not break the bank! IMO the better the speakers, the better the equipment needs to be & I like to keep it simple!
The RB-5 speakers were slightly closer to being a "reference" quality speaker than the RB25, IMO. The RB5's sold for over twice the amount, were made in the USA, used better parts, etc...

I wanted to get RB5-II's, but couldn't find a pair in nice enough shape to justify spending what they wanted for them!
