Thanks for the reply, we'll if we take the Audioholics reviews only the Klipsch pulls out ahead by a bit.
Very close to call though. I was able to demo the RP-8000F and they sounded good. Much less harsh treble compared to their Heritage series. The SVS over all when buy from the outlet push the value in favor of the SVS.
