I bought the Klipsch KG3.5's back around 01. It was buy a pair for one sale. Think i paid around $500. I sold them once i moved from Tampa in 04 and went without a audio system until last year when i bought a pair of Klipsch F3's used. I also bought a pair of RF82's and traded them for a pair of RF63's . The RF63's are great in my bedroom setup.

I would like to try a pair of RF 7's next.
1959 Zenith Console - Gift from parents (Had nothing to compare them to, I just remember that they made sounds)
1970 Small Advents - $200 (Love Loved These for years)
1983 Time Windows - $600 (Loved These guys Very Much)
1987 Merlin 2 Way Tower - $1000 (Love/Hate)
1988 Merlin Excaliburs $2500 (No Love Just Hate)
1990 Dahlquist DQ-10 Free (Loved These Guys a Lot)
2000 Merlin TSM $2500 (Very Disliked, Got Rid of within 60 Days)
2000 Revel F30 $1500 (Love Loved These Guys, Killed me to sell)

in 2008 I lost my long time dedicated listening room in exchange for a new wife. Now I'm relegated to listening to a diminished system in one of our bedrooms (it's still wonderful but a mere shadow of my old system).

2008 NHT Classic 3s - $500 (Love Them, Unbelievable sound at this price point)

I'd love to get a pair of Revel F52s and set up another system in the family room but that will have to wait until a death or a divorce occurs (whichever comes first).
