Very High quality sound ; Very High quality high tones, mid-range and lows ; Excellent quality material, look and feel ; Games, Movies and Music sound incredible

Spend the money!

ABT rocks! I bought these to complete my set up. I run the RF-82's up front with a RC-62 in the center. They are powered by a Pioneer 135 WPC receiver (installers edition) that should have been a Elite. I was running the Klipsch Quintet SL mini towers...

Great Sound Quality, Good Power Output, Attractive Design, Easy to Mount, Easy To Setup

Klipsch RS-42

Reviewing these speakers is actually more difficult than I thought it would be because I've never heard anything but test signals and surround tracks on them. Since I've never auditioned them as "mains" I'm afraid my review will be sparse.
