    Ok, call me crazy. Klipsch I am back :) RP-160M ....

    FedEx dropped off a nice little box this AM. Nice!

    With the KEF LS50 and now the Klipsch RP-160M's, I now realize you don't have to spend a ton to get great sound. Love what I hear so far. Looking forward to 2016

    Heck yeah man!!

    Klipsch makes some of the most picky loudspeakers that I've ever come across. That being said, when you get their stuff dialed in right, the sound can be pretty good. Let me know if you want/need any tips, Joe! Meanwhile, have fun!

    Joe

    Those might be interesting with the Wave 8's. Since they have an input sensitivity of .5 volts (less than the Job 225) the Aum passive ought to work great. When I had mine I used them with the 91db Reynaud Twins. In a 14' x 12' office they played plenty load.

    OMG! I forgot about those

    Yes, I think so. More fun to come, stay tuned. I've been cranking the Klipsch all day. Holy cow! Love them.

    Hey Joe - I have no connection or experience with this seller, but saw this listing on Audiogon for new Klipsch Palladium P-17Bs at a great price and thought you might be interested. They're not my cup of tea, but that's pocket change!

    I am currently using my rp160ms for my front channels until my new speakers are done, and I love them...I have yet to hear another speaker sound so good for this price, plus I do not need a large amp to enjoy them.
