I honestly dont know why everyone says they need alot of power. I drive my rti12's with a 60 watt tube amplifier and get great sound. I also hooked them up to a 8 watt home made experimental amp and got reasonably good performance. I think everyone...

These speakers are gorgeous, first of all. They sound great, however I do agree with everyone else that you need to drive plenty of power to them. I have a Denon AVR-3600 that is 110 watts per and they are bi wired and the Klipsch F3's blow them away....

Amazing

These speakers are definitely worth the price. Other reviews have stated how 'flimsy' the grills are. That may be true to an extent, but if you are careful there shouldn't be an issue. I am powering these speakers with a mid range receiver, the...

Great Speakers

 

Great Speakers

I looked around for speakers for a while and finally decided on these. There are not a lot of tower speakers that don't require a sub-woofer. For the price, about 40% off retail, I don't think another speaker could be found to sound this great. These...
