I can see why this speaker has such great feedback and why most people would like them. Probably in a much larger room they would be great, but for the size of my room they are just screamers at higher volume. To the point where the highs and midrange were painful. I guess I'm not a horn guy and prefer a silk dome tweeter. Top notch customer service though and no problem with returning them. Thanks.
I have had these speakers for a little over two weeks and they sound AMAZING!!! I knew there would be a little break-in time and some adjustments needed on my receiver to make them sound good. It didn't take long at all and I was really surprised at how crisp everything sounds with these speakers. Classical orchestra instruments and voices sound paricularly clear. I've had a pair of RF-35 speakers for a VERY long time that i really enjoyed and a pair of R-820F speakers for a little over a year and these have taken their rightful spot as the two mains up front.
I got the RP 8000f II to go along with the Rp 540C ii and RP 502Sii. The system sounds great in my bonus room. Bass you can feel and dialogs with effects you can hear from each speaker. These are a big improvement over my Polk system I had before. The only hiccup was the delivery as Old Dominion failed to give the local delivery company my contact information so they sat in the warehouse for a week until I tracked them down.
I had an older Reference single floor standing speaker from Klipsch back in 2006-2008 and was very impressed with that. THESE, these are a DREAM, do yourself a favor and change your life, buy and pair w/ a sub.
