Klipsch RB-35 Bookshelf Speaker

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
A high-performance, full-range bookshelf loudspeaker suitable for use in almost any audio or A/V system, the Klipsch RB-35 bookshelf speakers can deliver room-filling sound on their own in a traditional two-speaker stereo music system or anchor a surround-sound setup. The RB-35 is front-ported for maximum installation flexibility, and its back panel has a keyhole for surface wall-mounting. The speaker measures 19 x 9.3 x 10.8 inches (HxWxD).

The RB-35 delivers dynamic sound through an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter that features a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to a Klipsch square 6-inch Tractrix Horn, which raises the driver's efficiency and controls its radiation pattern to minimize detail-blurring reflections from walls, floor, and ceiling. The woofer uses an enhanced version of Klipsch's copper-colored Cerametallic material for its rigid cone. This material dampens the woofer, keeping it from flexing or resonating at frequencies within its operating range. Driving this cone is a large, video-shielded magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil, for high efficiency and deep, powerful, articulate bass without breakup or distortion.

The speaker features two pairs of binding posts to connect to an amplifier. These posts are strapped together for normal wiring but can be removed so the speaker can be bi-wired. This pair of RB-35s also make excellent surround-back speakers in 6.1- and 7.1-channel systems, or main surrounds for those who prefer direct-radiating speakers in that role.

4 out of 5 stars Great Value.......2005-05-26

There are very few speakers I'd prefer at even twice the price of the Klipsch RB-35. When I evaluate speakers, the ability to accurately present details is high on my list. The RB-35 clearly reproduces tiny details, for example lute fret noise echoes in the first minute of "Jean de Nivelle" (track 26 on The Baltimore Consort's La Rocque 'n' Roll -- highly recommended by the way). By way of comparison, I can't hear the echoes in more expensive Energy and Monitor speakers; and I can't even hear the fret noise (let alone the echo) with comparably priced BOSE speakers.

The RB-35 is very dynamic, with tight and deep bass (surprising for such a small bookshelf speaker). "Live" recordings sound particularly good on this speaker. Another test using "Jean de Nivelle" is to listen to the solo entrance of soprano Custer LaRue about 1 minute into the song. Lesser speakers make you realize that you are listening to a recording, by compressing the dynamics. The RB-35 handles the entrance so smoothly, you know Custer was there all along.

I have not compared the RB-35 directly with the Infinity Beta-20 (the cheapest speaker I recommend for general use). From memory I think the RB-35 has a better overall balance, and is more dynamic. The Beta-20 has a great tweeter (for the price), and I'd love to do a direct comparison. Overall, the RB-35 is very competitively priced and I highly recommended it!

Also see my review of the next model up, the similar sounding Klipsch RB-75. It does almost everything slightly better, but costs twice as much.
