Klipsch RF-52 Floorstanding Loudspeakers Reviewed

The RF-52 helps round out Klipsch's overwhelming popular and extensive reference line of loudspeakers. With an RF model for virtually every taste, budget and system it can be hard deciding which one is right for you, which is why Home Theater Review...

The Klipsch RF-52 provides a well-balanced, lively sound that stays on the right side of refinement and impresses with its punch and clarity

The RF-52's top end got a bit zippy at times and carried that into the midrange, giving the sound a cold quality that exposed itself mostly on classical, vocal, and piano tracks ; The RF-52 has some directionality issues that shrink the sweet spot, and...

Unreal speakers!!

I am by no means a home theater audiophile snob, but I have been dealing with audio equipment for quite a while. This has been my first jump into the "big time" home-theater game. I did TONS of research before I bought these, the deal that Newegg had...

Honestly, I cant think of one. The only thing is price, but there are plenty of deals going so you can find a steal every once in a while

Small but Mighty!

My last pair of Klipsch speakers were KG5.5's. They were dual 10" models but BIG. My wife was insistent on something smaller. The new Reference series would be ideal based on ratings and the RF52 fit the size requirements. I was a little worried about...
