Couldn't hold a candle to the RF series let alone my ugly,boxy, Klipsch Heritage series Heresy speakers. The Heritage,RF, and THX series kills the Icon series (the lcons IMHO are little boys in a nice suit).

Well it only took so long for me to find this thread haha.
Anyways I would have to respectfully disagree. I will however say that the sound from the WF-34 is very different from the WF-35's. So being that you were not impressed with the 34's may be true, but have you listened to a fully broken in pair of WF-35's and not at the Best Buy store?
I have had these speakers since August of 08' and must say they are truly amazing. The detail and clarity is unmatched from any speaker I have heard in this price range. And I don't think Klipsch gave up anything in these speakers. Yes some of the Reference series (the RF-63 and RF-83) are better but anything other than those and I think the WF-35's have them beat by a long shot. I have a friend who is in the music producing business and is used to high, reference quality speakers and he is constantly amazed by these speakers. He actually brings demo stuff over to my place to listen to these speakers in 2 Channel Pure Direct mode. He says he hears details in these speakers that he can't hear in many other brands of speakers.
Now I'm not here to praise these speakers and claim they are the best things ever, but just share my expereince with them and voice my opinion. But hey everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I don't take offense if someone doesn't like these speakers. If anyone is debating whether or not to get these speakers or would like some personal info on them please don't hesitate to ask.
