    Anyone have experience with Klipsch bookshelf speakers?

    I know there are a few models which are considered sleepers and are no longer available new. Of the current line up, has anyone heard them or own them? They seem very efficient and have a tremendous following.

    I used to sell them years ago before the Palladium line came out. The reference line made for some great home theater speakers. For 2ch listening I always liked the Heritage line. The Heresy 3's are on my short list of speakers for the new system I will be building next fall.

    Actually, I'm already thinking about ordering a pair of the RP-160M, the bottom photo.

    Hey Joe, I had the P-17B's for a while. They are precise and direct sounding speakers with openness and imaging to spare but for my system lacked the warmth and fullness I wanted. I had several solid state integrated amps on them and don't think any were a particularly good match. They were also in a (too) large basement den area. In a proper setup they could be pretty sweet.

    That's what I can pull from memory anyway. It's been several years now since I had them. Would love to hear them again now!
