Great Surround Speakers!
Written By Austin, West lafayette, IN on Monday, January 12, 2009

Klipsch has always had a reputation for great speakers, and these surround speakers are no exception. I added these to my surround system including an Klipsch RC-52 center speaker, two KG 4.5 floorstanding front speakers, and a RW-10d subwoofer. All of these combine to provide great reproduction of both music and movie soundtracks. I am in the Navy, so I wanted relatively small speakers that wouldn't be too hard to move. These provide great sound in a pretty small enclosure. I would definitely recommend Klipsch reference series of speakers to anyone wanting a quality surround system.

RS42
Written By Alan, Pawleys Island, SC on Friday, April 11, 2008

I now have the Onkyo TX-SR705 teamed up with Klipsch RF62 towers, RC52
center and RS42 surround speakers. My old system was pretty good, but
this new arrangement really blows it away. There are many lengthy
reviews on this Onkyo already so I will just say I would recommend it to
anyone that doesn't need more than 100 watts and wants to get HDMI
switching. Crutchfield service has been top notch and I couldn't be happier
with my Klipsch speakers.
