    Another off bass hit peice by what hifi.
    http://www.whathifi.com/Review/Klipsch-RB-81/ http://outlet.crutchfield.com/App/Pr...RB81B&tp=13664
    If you click on tech specs the WHF page says they are not bi wireable (wrong what hifi agein) look here.(click on the little photo of the back of the rb81 and it will expand.)

    97 db.@1 watt. with decent bass! from a small package!
    46hz. to 23khz. +/- 3db. !!!
    and under a $1,000 !!!
    with Benic caps and well made crossovers!
    I have heard them they have a wide sound stage and no honky nasal horn effects.
    For that alone Klipsh should get a medal.
    I never felt the bass was excesive.
    Just more of it than you would expect from a book shelf size speaker,if this was a floor stander by any other name the review would have been glowing.
    They are 30 pounds each,thats a heavy little speaker!

    I think it's now obvious that WHF don't know their arse from their elbow, so one can safely attach the minimum of credibility to anything written in that particular hi-fi comic
