I’m glad that you came to the same logical conclusion that I did. The increased price is not worth it, because an added amp would be a bigger upgrade, or adding Dirac if you have a smaller room and don’t need an amp. If you have 95dB+ sensitive speakers you may want to go with the 4800h due to the 10dB lower noise floor. You can compare the measurements of both AVRs at AudioSceinceReview.

Klipsch has made some interesting choices with their market segmentation and naming over the years. Back in the early 2010s their "reference" line (RB-61 II, 81 II, etc...) had titanium tweeters and cerametallic woofers. Those are features only found in the Reference Premier line now. The regular "reference" line now has aluminum tweeters and IMG woofers. I'd be curious to see how the RF-7 III's stack up against some of the older big Klipsch towers, such as the KLFs. The KLFs are legendary. Even the "baby" KLF-10 is on par with the RF-7 III on paper. The KLF-30 should outclass it. I love Klipsch, but it's hard to justify paying $4000+ USD for a pair of RF-7 IIIs when speakers like the Tekton Pendragon exist for $2500 or less.

I like the Klipsch better I don’t find them too bright at all. I have expensive components too though, I prefer their bass and sensitivity to the Polk for sure. The Polk do have better mids to me the horns can scream in the mids too much on some tracks: I’m not on a budget at all but lots folks are. You can buy the Klipsch on sale around 1K delivered if you shop around. The Polk are gonna run closer to 2K. Open box or something maybe little less but still quite bit more. Your also gonna need drop more coin on the amp imo than with Klipsch.

@@THEvampgenocide must be because of the EQ so try that. But the 16” should be much much lauder.
I have the same exact subwoofer RP1600, as of late last night mine quit working as well I called Crutchfield they want me to take the plate amp off the back of it and check for connections will update very aggravated at this point😫😫
I like the Klipsch better I don’t find them too bright at all. I have expensive components too though, I prefer their bass and sensitivity to the Polk for sure. The Polk do have better mids to me the horns can scream in the mids too much on some tracks: I’m not on a budget at all but lots folks are. You can buy the Klipsch on sale around 1K delivered if you shop around. The Polk are gonna run closer to 2K. Open box or something maybe little less but still quite bit more. Your also gonna need drop more coin on the amp imo than with Klipsch.
@@F.S.111 correct you are👌 i like both for different reasons.
