The Klipsch RB5s were the main reason why I have poured a whole lot of money into audio in the last few years. I was dragged over to hear them by an excited salesperson and in the store setting I was in they were truly wonderful. When I started to really listen to other speakers in that price range I found that the Paradigm Reference 20s were more enjoyable. Then I took a chance on the Axiom line. Glad I did. Music is fun again.
