Actually Bro in that review he compares several speakers including the klipsch 62's which are the smaller version of the ones I am looking at! I copied and pasted the comparision part here:
Listening Scenario #2 Audioholics Showcase Theater Room
Again, using the Audioholics demo CD, I did some comparisons between the EMP E55Ti (rev1), Axiom Audio M60v3 and Klipsch RF-62 tower speaker systems. All speakers were level matched and switching was done instantaneously.
Fourplay - Amoroso
This track has great bass, piano, guitar and plenty of percussive sounds to test the top end of the speakers as well. The Axiom M60v3's really gave a nice presentation of full-range sound here with deep extended bass, and nice detailed highs. Switching over to the EMP's, all of the sudden Lee Ritenour's guitar came alive. Instead of being recessed in the background it popped forward sounding more like a listening session at a live studio recording. The Klipsch on the other hand were like Axioms on steroids. They simply had the most bass and treble out of the three speakers. A casual listener wanting a lot of boom and sizzle with the ability to play LOUD will absolutely love and likely prefer the Klipsch speakers over the Axiom's or EMPs.
Sade - Hang on to Your Love
This was a fun song to compare the three speakers to. I felt the Axioms conveyed the most detail in the highs, most noticeably that "cha cha" percussion sound emanating from the left speaker. The Axiom's also had a nice deep bass extension almost sounding as if a powered sub was thrown in the mix. The Klipsch literally sounded like they were gonna tear down the house with this track. Oodles of bass and treble, they sounded like a wall of sound but were unfortunately more two-dimensional sounding than the other speakers in this comparison and the vocals had too much sibilance for my taste. While the EMP's didn't win for bass extension or conveying top end detail, they sounded the most balanced to my ears. The vocals sounded rich and vibrant without ever sounding sibilant, especially as the volume was cranked up. The Axioms at high volume lost some composure in the midrange in my opinion. Comparing these speakers revealed that all three brands exhibited respectable performance, but the ultimate winner depended on listener preference and the type of music one listens to. I could see consumers that listen to more acoustic based music with lots of vocals and percussions preferring the EMPs, while those listening to rock or more industrial type music would lean towards the Axioms and R&B, Rap listeners going for the Klipsch. As Bugs Bunny used to say, "one mans meat is another mans poison". If you're a vegan, you’re out of luck.
Moving on to dedicated listening sessions on the EMP E55Ti (rev 2), I proceeded with a high resolution SACD recordings from Premonition Records.
SACD: Patricia Barber - Modern Cool
Track #1 "Touch of Trash" is a very bass heavy song. I wasn't expecting a whole lot of bass from the E55Ti's but they actually shocked me. I was getting plenty of bass extension with good tactile energy and tightness. Percussions just popped out at you and the drums displayed excellent resonance in the room. Patricia's voice just sounded so pinpoint accurate like it was emanating front and center to your head. Track #3 "You & the Night & the Music" is an 8 minute song which was such an enjoyable experience to listen to on the E55's that the time seemed to fly. You could hear the breath from Patricia Barber's voice and in some cases lots of resonance in her voice caused by the close miked process used in this recording. The bongos portrayed so much vibrancy and clarity to them while the piano sounded deep and effortless. All of the instruments were clearly separated into a large soundstage that I find often masked by lesser designed speakers. I was a bit floored by the amount of bass in this track pondering why I was complaining previously that these speakers seemed to be a bit bass deficient when compared against bass heavier speakers. When the electric guitar came in, it took on a very stereophonic sound that just set the landscape of this song. The song that truly showcases the product strengths of the EMP E55Ti's is track #7 "Company" because of the intense percussive nature of the song. I haven't heard another speaker in this price class able to discern and reproduce all of the drum echo and sustain in this track with such confidence and clarity. I did feel the very bottom octave of bass was lacking. A powered sub would definitely add the much needed extension here to provide the full-range sound I am used to hearing on my reference speakers. The trumpets didn’t sound like they were coming from the speakers. Instead they just filled the room and beamed right at the listener sitting in the sweet spot. The EMP E55Ti's just sounded so fundamentally right to me, sharing many of the virtues of $15k/pair RBH Sound T-30LSE reference speakers that make them such a personal favorite of mine. Though, I did detect some graininess in the cymbal crashes at high listening levels from the EMP's that I didn't hear from my much more expensive reference speakers.
