Congrats!
can you describe how your Klipsch 82's sound?
I heard they have a lot of punch on the low end, are they really that bright as people say??
Thanx! To me the Klipsch 82s sound very well. Actually, initially, I was more inclined at not trying them at all and look the other way because of so many fear-instigating reviews I read against them. When I went to audition few speakers, the dealer asked me to try them out. He told me one thing about Klipsch was that "either you like 'em or you hate 'em." This was more a verdict from the consumers standpoint. There was no gray area like you like it alright and can live by it. No, it was like either awesome or awful. I thought in that case chances are that I will end up with a feeling of latter. But trying them in comparison with Paradigm Monitor 7s, DefTechs 7004s, and B&Ws low-end model, I really liked the Ref 82s.
They were not as bright at all as people review them causing a sense of dreadfulness. And the lows are good enough for me and do not demand an immediate need for a sub (although I plan on getting one pretty soon). But again it is subjective and depends on your personal liking.
I liked Klipschs with both music and movies compared to the other three, and I did not look further. I gather a lot of folks do not try Klipsh because of such reviews. But my honest advice is that one should try them (or for that matter, any speaker) and then decide.
