Which home theater speakers?
I have purchased an LG Infinia 55LX9500 3d TV and a Pioneer Elite V33 receiver. I also have an Xbox, PS3, Pioneer Elite 3d Blu-Ray Player, Roku Media Player and Panomax Power Conditioner. The only thing I’m missing, obviously, are my speakers. I want to purchase a 5.1 setup right now, eventually going to 7.1. I have narrowed down two systems, the Klipsch RF-42 system with the Synergy Sub 12 HG subwoofer or the BIC Acoustech PL-89 Theater system with the PL-200 Subwoofer. I know with Klipsch you get the name brand and obviously good quality, but I keep reading good reviews about the BIC setup and the numbers are slightly better in wattage, sensitivity level, and frequency response. I would go and listen to these speakers but the closest shop that has a setup somewhere near these is about 500 miles away. Can someone please help me or point me in the right direction?

You are better off with Klipsch speakers, they have been producing speaker for many years. The first time I saw a Klipsch speaker was in the early 60"s, big box and tall with large horn. I personally use Klipsch speakers for my bedroom, the Quintet 5, and no complain or problems at all. As for the BIC Acoustech, I have never seen or read any material on them. Hope this will help you out.

Without hearing those speakers I would choose the Klipsch, they just have a better reputation, I’ve read that the grills on the BIC rattle…but I have also hear that the klipsch that you are looking at have too small of a horn to produce good sound….also I would think that the boxes on the klipsch are sturdier I would look at the weight of the speakers this will tell you something about the build quality…if it was the Klipsch RF62 or above I would say definitely the klipsch but because it is a lesser model I don’t know I have never heard that model of BIC so I cannot say what it sounds like the only BIC I have heard were bookshelf and with a dome tweeter..so I have no idea about there horn loaded tweeter…I know it is very difficult to get it right when using a horn loaded tweeter and this is why klipsch has been a leader in this design because they are one of the few companies that can get it right….its really a hard call it really is without hearing both speakers….
