I hooked one up to the massive Klipsch KLF20s in my HT system, using my Rega Planar 3/Rotel phonostage and my Pioneer DV47Ai universal through a Rotel 1066 pre/pro. As efficient as those Klipshch towers are, the little amp couldn't really push the dual 10" woofers, so it sounded very light in the bass. That said, it had a very detailed, smooth and nimble sound. I'd like to try it with my Morel Preludes, which are a bit less efficient but have single 6.5 inch woofers.I haven't been to the Klipsch forums in awhile. Not thrilled with where their Reference line is headed (slim line, multiple woofer two way speakers with only a horn driven tweeter), though I'm thrilled the Heritage line seems safe for now.
Follow Ups:
anything that Klipsch made in the last twenty years doesn't really thrill me. Except possibly their rebirth of their horn loaded Heritage line.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I think some of the stuff in the 1980s and 1990s, while not fully up to the Heritage standards, was still quite good and at least designed and built to emulate the Heritage stuff (e.g., my KLF20s have horn loaded tweets and midrange squakers and have a huge, dynamic sound). I also think the RB5 was a neat little speaker when it came out in 2000 or so and still do. But most recently they have these three woofer slimline things, and it's all two way, even the towers, and mostly wrapped in vinyl YUCK!
