My situation is odd but I'm curious as to which pair everyone would prefer to anchor a home theater in a medium size room. Thanks in advance

Honestly the RF-62 > F-3. As for the Axiom i can't speak to it, but realistically i think you should be looking at the RF-62 vs the Axiom.


Edit: Another thing to consider is the RF-82's aren't much more than f-3's are typically, so you could splurge a bit with those as well.

I have a extra pair of f3 for sale in mint condition. Picked them up when CC went under.


Are you in IL?


The F3's a extrememly clear and sharp sounding. They will pickup any thing, but they do lack a little bit in the lower midrange, probably due to the horn design, but for horns and more classical type music they are excellent. Also excellent bass for hip hop etc, i guess the only type of music i would not recommend them for is anything like DM or O.A.R where he lower midrange vocals might lack a little. On the flip side female vocals are out of this world.


It's not horrible but it does sounds like the male vocals should be a little more up front. Again, it's not bad and might be just my preference.


Thank you!

Thank you both for your thoughts....I like what I read about the M60's and a dedicated midrange but I like those 8" drivers in the Klipsch.

I think the Axiom will give you more of a even balanced sound where the F3's will give you super clear highs and extended lows.


What do you listen to the most? HT and video games, I would go with the Klipsch. Music, I would go with the Axioms.

Thanks Warrior- what would you consider to get a good balance between theater and music? I'm in TN

The RF-82 might get you there, but I haven't heard them before...
