Help needed, 2 speakers brands to purchase! - Blu-ray Forum

SPANIARD · 10-14-2009, 11:12 PM

I'm still not decided wich to purchase for my front soundstage between 3 monitoraudio rs6 or 3 klipsch rf82, they will be paired to a denon 3808ci. The price will be the same for both setups but i don't want an overly bright sound. thanks in advance.

Have you gone out to listen to both? Take a CD you know well and sit and listen. Let your ears tell you which to choose! I think you'll be happy either way.

Having heard neither speaker set you mention, I prefer Monitor Audio as a brand to Klipsch. Some people find Klipsch speakers too bright in the treble range.

I have heard both and by far the Monitor Audio RS6's are more dynamic and better detailed but not nearly as bright sounding as the klipsch. I really like the MA's, they are fantastic speakers and are superb with both music and movies. Low-end extension is phenominal. When compared to Paradigm and B&W, I do like the MA's better. Their only weakness is fast playing piano, but then I was comparing them to some Dali Concepts that are very musical speakers, you may even want to give them a listen too. I think Dali is my favorite speaker in the $1200 and below category.
