Keeping it in the Klipsch family I am upgrading my humble Quintet iii to either one of these: Icon series (wf 35) or reference series (rvx 54). The price points are about the same. Opinions appreciated..I am leaning towards the icon purely on asthetics.....but if the reference usurps in performance it will have to be a consideration. The one I choose will be playing double duty for home theater as well as music (jazz, classical, piano) , room is 12 x 10 ...thanks!!
