Klipsch RB-15
2 Reviews
rating  3 of 5
MSRP  300.00
Description: The RB-15 delivers superb sound through a 5.25-inch woofer and 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter that features a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch square Tractrix® Horn. This advanced horn increases sensitivity while minimizing the room interactions that blur the sonic detail and imaging of conventional speakers. <p /> The woofer on the RB-15 is an enhanced version of Klipsch’s unique, copper-colored Cerametallic™ material that is stronger than ever. This cone is made of an anodized aluminum that makes it tough but does not detract from its beauty. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with outstanding damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer’s operating range. Driving this cone is a large, video-shielded magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil, for high efficiency and deep, powerful, articulate bass without breakup or distortion.

Price Paid:  $239.00 from The Good Guys

Summary:
These are an embarrassment for the Klipsch name in the audio world. I have been a loyal Klipsch fan for over 20 years but the quality in construction of these speakers is despicable. I accidentally knocked one off of my couch onto a thick carpeted floor and the woofer frame broke at all four points!. What is up with that. They were made of a flimsy PLASTIC! I am sure there were other more reliable options available for the speaker frame, but the folks at Klipsch opted for the cheap way out. And I do mean cheap! Paul W. himself would be beside himself over this faux pau. I have had a pair of La Scala’s for over 20 years and bought these assuming quality would not be sacrificed by Klipsch. Oops I guessed wrong on that one.

Strengths:
I don't know of any never got to listen to them

Weaknesses:
Quality of construction was especially poor for a speaker line you call the "Reference Series"

Review NaN of , from Haskins OHIO

Price Paid:  $180.00 from thebestpricestore.co

Summary:
I bought these speakers for back surround use. I also use them for listening to SACD or DVDA in surround sound.
These are great little speakers very accurate, not much at all in the bass department. I have a velodyne sub for deep bass. These little speakers rock when listening to dark side of the moon in multi-channel sacd or listening to a dvd with a DTS-ES 6.1 they bring incredible belivability and realism to the soundstage.

Strengths:
clean accurate sound quality. gold colored woofers in the reference series look and sound classy. the horns are so accurate and in your face. these speakers have that Klipsch dynamic sound. they are superb as surround speakers and would be great for front speakers in a small stereo or home theater setup

Weaknesses:
bass response but who would want a 5 1/4 inch woofer to put out deep bass? these are a little pricey but not too bad. the lack of a real wood veneer like in their fuller sized cousins would be nice. or at least an option for it.
