Utilizing dual 8" copper-spun IMG woofers and a 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression LTS tweeter, this Klipsch Reference R-28F floorstanding speaker creates a crystal-clear cross-spectrum soundscape.
Posted by: BluesDoctor
I missed having a quality two-channel stereo system and started planning a budget to put a moderately priced rig together with above entry level components that I could reasonably afford. My purchase decisions were all value-driven as I am now retired on fixed income. Music is huge part of my life since childhood. I started with speakers and then chose power supply to fit with speakers. FYI, I have background in professional music mixing, recording and broadcasting. After several months of detailed research, I chose the Klipsch R-28F as the best bang for my limited buck! Based on professional and user reviews, in store listening audition, the quality reputation of Klipsch and the specs, it was a wise, well-informed decision. The fact that I could get these at half-price during Best Buy's Black Friday sale made it easy to pull the trigger. I want quality at a fair price within my means. That is what I got with these speakers. I feel they're worth the list retail IMO. On sale, they're a huge bargain at $225 each! I go by the sound I hear in choosing stereo speakers, but I also like the confidence in seeing good performance on the spec sheet. Unable to find a comparable speaker at full retail price. After hearing these, I am truly happy with purchase. Do your own homework and research. Then give them a listen. Sound quality is superb. Clarity in all ranges, well balanced sound at high and low volume, and a fantastic soundstage. The
sweet spot is swweeeeet! Even in the store, the sound seemed to emanate from the center behind the speakers blending in the center for a blissful sound. A great presence and image with no discernible distortion. The R-28F is designed for music. I imagine they sound great for home theater use too. I have a dedicated home theater system that I am using independent of my music rig. I then purchased the Yamaha R-S700 stereo 2.1 channel receiver from Best Buy to drive the Klipsch speakers. The R-S700 delivers a clean 100 watts RMS @ 8 ohms. A great match w/these speakers. Sound wonderful together. So far, I have used speakers w/out a subwoofer and am pleased with the towers alone for music listening. They are rated at 35hz, able to reach 32 Hz depending on placement and room characteristics. I highly recommend these speakers as the heart of a two-channel stereo system with, or without a sub.
