I wonder how the RF-35s would compare to the RF-63s I heard.


I may have misunderstood your question, but the Klipsch bass response is not excused by the cross over, unless crossed over really high. If the other floor models you heard were on the same amp, then the bass response was apples to apples. If you were moving rooms, and AVRs, who knows. But the dealer should know to set them to full range if you are looking at buying floor standing speakers. In short, don't blame the crossover.
