Love your channel , I'm 63 and I have helped my sons in their audio journey. When my youngest son Matt was 16 he wanted a stereo his mother had a sony from a htib system that was all dusty. She said no when he asked if he could use it. So I went on Ebay and bought him a Denon AVR 2800 reciever and a pair of Polk RTi 25 bookshelf speakers. He was so happy. Recently we upgraded his receiver, the Denon died. Found him a Yamaha Aventage 2080 for $210, $1200 msrp. He bought that then I found a pair of Klipsch F2 towers for $100 on marketplace. Those i bought for him for his 22nd birthday. Thats my klipsch story. Keep up the good work

Now that’s the type of feedback I’m looking for! That’s an excellent receiver, I’ve always been a big fan of the Yamaha AVENTAGE lineup. I bet that beastly receiver powers those F2’s with no issues. Thank you for sharing, my friend!

@@blazermdx I set up all 3 of my son's with stereo systems. My eldest son got my Denon avr1803 and a pair of JBL Northridge bookshelf speakers I bought on the Harmon Ebay store for $70 when he went to school for automotive repair and the furniture from my apartment i was closing up.

@@blazermdx if you ever come across Infinity Interlude speakers try and pick up a pair. The Interlude Il10s are very capable and musical speakers. My system consists of IL50 towers, with 250 watt 10" sub. IL10 bookshelf speakers and IL25C center. Driven by a Carver AV 705x amplifier and a Marantz av7005 pre-processor. I've owned these speakers for 19years and have no desire to replace them. Check out Steve Gutenberg's review of the IL10s, they are still available used on Ebay for about $100. My Carver and Marantz were used on Ebay.

Man does that bring back memories. That line was my 1st real home theater set up. Had F1, C2 and 2 pairs of the S2's. I loved how they sounded for the price. I have went way down the rabbit hole of home theater since getting rid of them. They will always hold of place in my heart. More towers need to be front ported, can slam them against the wall with zero problems.

I just bought a pair of the F2 towers yesterday. Had to drive 100km both ways to get them. For around $180aussie dollary doos from an audiophile. In immaculate condition. No joke. They look brand new. And the sound is phenomenal. I have them for movie watching and paired them with 2 pb1000 pros. OMG. Incredible detail and clarity on the high end. Has totally transformed my setup.

Did the same mate , $250 the a and amp thrown in , bargain . These speakers blew my mind , gave my Dynaudio audience 82 ‘s a run for their money

My biggest Hifi purchase was Mirage Omni 50 bookshelf and the tower during Circuit city closure mid 00

I’ve had a couple Mirage speaker sets over the years. Excellent sounding speakers, especially for the size. Thanks for sharing!

Klipsch Refrence, which were just synergy at the time i got them, were also my intro to this hobby. Awesome to see someone with a similar story.

Yeah, if owned tons of the original Klipsch Reference speakers o liver the years, like the RF-3’s, RF-62’s, RB-61’s etc. Klipsch Reference and Reference Premier speakers are definitely a couple notches above the Synergy lineup and the new Reference models but they still present a very good value proposition. Thanks for stopping by!

don't know too much on how KZread partnership works but why not do a second channel where you can upload all the demo videos and this one be the review channel. I know it's not a perfect solution

Have you considered using non copyright music for your sound demos? What is your daily driver speakers.

JBL / Harman are having a killer Father's day sale . specially on the JBL Studio 590 I've heard rave reviews

Hi still don't understand one thing .. What you do with all these speakers after review ..???

Klipsch sold so many of these :)

were these amplified during the review? if so what did you use and how much power to the set?

Yes, I was using a Monolith 5X, which puts out about 200 watts RMS. Thanks for the question!

I had the Klipsch rb81 and originally liked them but now dislike them and prefer the more calm laid back and smoother sound of British speakers, currently using the Mordaunt short Aviano range and love them

The RB-81 were some of my dream speakers, when I was younger. I ended up getting a pair about 10 years ago but I didn’t end up keeping them very long. They were a rad too hot, when it came to the high frequencies. I think Klipsch should make a 8” Reference Premiere bookshelf and matching center. The Premier Series II are a bit more rolled off up top and more balanced. Thank you for the feedback!

The woofers are not plastic. They’re aluminum based.

From what I've gathered it seems like every Klipsch speaker gets slightly less aggressive in the treble department. Wonder how the reference premier ii sound.

@blazermdx

It seems the word got back to Klipsch, on what the forum members have been saying for years, that Klipsch speakers sound bright. Unjustified criticism, much of the time in my humble opinion. I think the Reference Premier is where Klipsch really rolled off some of the upper end. I can’t wait to get my hands on some References Premier II’s! Although, o would have loved to seen a 8” bookshelf and 8” center released, even in limited quantities. Thanks again for the channel activity, my man!

KZread doesn't alert me of your videos anymore.

I'm still jealous you have those R3's.

They definitely leave quite a bit to be desired but they’re actually not bad for the money. You really do need to spend time dialing them in and taming the high frequencies. But they are pretty darn good for the money, especially when compared to their competitors at the time.
