I returned a perfectly good subwoofer (8" Klipsch) because the bass of this pair is strong enough.

Awesome job Klipsch!

Not sure if it's worth the extra cost for the Reference II generation (new crossover), but Klipsch is correct when the boast remarkable balance of performance and value when referring to this speaker.

After reading other reviews for the Klipsch RF-52 II Reference floor standing speakers, there is not much that I can add other than to concur with the excellent reviews of Klipsch's outstanding product(s).I'm using the RF-52's as the primary front left and right speakers in a 5.1 home theater system/setup.
