For $1000 a pair and considering your H/K 525 I can't think of anything that will beat a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 6's. Much less bright and harsh than the Klipsch but spectacular sounding and can take the pounding you are looking for. These speakers are truely incredible for the money and a perfect match for any mellow sounding unit like the 525. Like many speakers they need a break in period [about 60 hours ] and then smooth out and are just beautiful. The Monitor's have a very nice finish and build quality also.
i allready had a pair of jbl S312BE (not the newer cheaper s312II's) so i picked up the klipsch rb-35
i'm running the klipsch on the hk525 and the jbl's on the preout's being powered by the m2a.
wow this is exactly what i was looking for the clarity and volume is amazing.
i am also very impressed at the imaging,soundstage and base, overall the combo is absolutly stunning.
you are talking to one very happy camper.
i brought in a danzig cd and joe jackson to listen to the rb-35's and they were great performers even in the base department.
anyone thinking of getting a pair i would imagine would be very pleased, crisp clean mid's and highs with supizingly good base. very good match for the laid back hk reciever.96db sens easily driven.
Add a sub and it will sound luxurious - for less than $100, I like this sony - Roc needs sub - http://etronics.resultspage.com/display.php?w=sa-wm200&p=Q&ts=dynamic&Store=
