Columbus, Ohio area. But what are your thoughts on both of these?
Monitor audio R series are laid back.
Very smooth, but detailed treble.
Laid back mids, and lacking here.
Smooth respectable mid-bass, but no oomph.
Klipsch RF series are in your face.
Very bright, over-the-top treble.
Mids are crisp, detailed, and good overall.
Mid-bass is tight, punchy, and respectable.
These are just general descriptions off the top of my head, and I am no reviewer. I auditioned both lines extensively, and due to my dislikes of each, went a different direction.
