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: Joseph
I have done a ton of research for a home theater without spending too much. Klipsch was always one of the options. The strength and weakness of Klipsch is its horn, its aluminium tweeter. The strength is that it produces "as is" sound, which is crisp and bright. The weakness is that some people dont like bright high frequencies, and they prefer a more musical tone, eventhough it may not be a perfect reproduction. Klipsch tent to produce high tones with aluminium flavor, whereas high end speakers use silk dome tweeters which dont. But entry level siik polymer tweeters dont produce accurate sound. Another strength is the higher sensitivity, which means there would be less load on the amplifiers.
I have compared the Reference series R-24f, R-26f and R-28f. R-26f is the middle one. This produces nice rich sound. One advantage is that it is not as bright as R-28f, which makes this the ideal choice for music listening. R-28f has a better dynamic response and fidelity, and is far better for movies. You may need to use Audio calibration to tone down the high frequency, but this blows all the similar priced speakers.

For music i guess R-28f would be tiring for the ears, if used for hours together.

Experience lush, detailed audio with these Klipsch Reference R-15M bookshelf speakers that feature 5-1/4" copper-spun IMG woofers and 1" aluminum diaphragm-compression tweeters to create a dynamic soundscape.
Posted by: Joseph
I would give my opinion on my selection of these speakers. I compared R-14M and R-15M. I want to use them as surrounds to R-26f fronts. Here's the feedback
1. R-15M is visibly more sensitive (loud) and bright. The difference is high. There is not much difference in the bass response. So you need to hear them to understand if you would like the brightness (high frequency response)
2. On Volume levels 14M matches with R-26f and 15M matches with R-28f. The matching continues for the sensitivity, brightness and the overall sonic response.
3. 15M is better built and pleasing, atleast from the speaker screw mounts and overall look. So if you have R-28f then you need to go with 15M. 15M is also the choice if you plan a standalone speaker (second zone). 15M can also handle more power.
4. I would like to have the high frequency response little smoother. If you cant tolerate bright speaker go with 14, otherwise 15M is good overall.

Excellent drive. This is little thicker than 2TB

Excellent drive. This is little thicker than 2TB version as the harddisk inside is thicker, but is far thinner than other 4TB dual disk (2TB x 2) drives. Comes with a cable to transfer data and take power from USB. Working perfectly so far.
