Review:

The Klipsch R-28F Floorstanding Speaker delivers powerful and lifelike performances that fill medium to large rooms. The 90x90 Tractrix Horn technology mated with an aluminum tweeter provides impressive high-end response, enhanced imaging, and powerful dynamics. The Linear Travel Suspension (LTS) tweeter minimizes distortion for detailed performance, while the copper-spun Injection Molded Graphite (IMG) woofer provides remarkable low frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion. The dual 8" copper-spun high-output IMG woofers and brushed black polymer veneer cabinet make this speaker a great choice for anyone who is serious about their movies and music.

FAQ

Q: How many watts do the Klipsch R-28F Floorstanding Speakers put out?
A: The speakers can handle 150 watts/channel, for a total of 600 watts. They have a great response and sound great at all levels.

Q: Is my Sony 5.2 receiver with 145 watts per channel at 6 ohms good enough for these speakers?
A: While the speakers will work with your receiver, it's recommended to upgrade to get more power out of them. A receiver with at least 50 watts per channel is suggested for a medium-sized room.

Q: What would be a good receiver to drive two pairs of Klipsch R-28F speakers?
A: Yamaha receivers are often recommended with Klipsch speakers. As a general rule, try to match the price of the speakers to the cost of the receiver.
