The RF35's or the Older RF3's are excellent for around 500 or less used.. Better bass than most of the series, the RF5's and Rf7's are a bit imbalanced, but part of it is they use a much brighter pro horn and the bass does not keep up as well as the 3's adn 35's in my opinion.. With more modifications and more money the 7's could be very good, but they need a big area to play, I found sitting 12 or 14 feet away was even a minimum to hear they intergrate as well... The 3's and 35's can be placed much closer together without Beaming at you, and you can sit closer as well.
Best speaker for small 12x14 room 50 WPC tube amp
I had Spica TC-50's in this room but got no bass out of them; I switched to Klipsch RB 5-II's and got some bass if they were closer to the wall but lost any depth of soundstage.
I wondered whether a Klipsch RB-75 would do better than the RB 5-II overall, and whether they would need a subwoofer (as my amp has a sub output) as they are front ported instead of rear ported.
What would a pair of Klipsch RF-5's or RF-7's do in such a small room? I listen to jazz and vocals. I don't like the Klipsch speakers that are not real wood veneer. The RF-35 & RF-82 are vinyl covered.
The Klipsch forum attracts mainly fanatics and I have been unable to get a straight, helpful answer there.

I'm using the Reference 3A MM De Capo-i speakers in a small room [12 x 16]. I also moved from a 125 wpc SS amp to a 25 watt hybrid class A tube amp. I'm very pleased with the results. Check out the review of these speakers at enjoythemusic.com and look no further. You might also want to check out audiocircle.com, Reference 3A owners circle for more info about these loudspeakers. .
