while looking for a budget speaker. I auditioned them as an after thought, and I found myself totally involved in the music! My Hales had a difficult time doing that for me. The Klipsch are very dynamic and involving, but they can get bright really fast under the wrong conditions. I highly recommend driving them with tubes, as budget SS amps can bring out the worst in the reference line. I have found that the Antique Sound Labs Wave-8 tube monoblocks ($200/pair) work fantastically with my RF-3s. If tubes are not an option look for a warm SS amp and see what you can do. Good luck!Steve
Remember, it's all about the music.
