Has anyone done a comparison of the X5 and X10 models? I took a quick look around and maybe my search skills are weak but I didn't really find much besides the promo material. I picked up the X5 in a moment of cheapness and they feel a bit bulky. Side note - why doesn't the X5 show up in this URL? http://www.klipsch.com/headphones/

I grabbed some X-5 to go with my Custom 3s that I bought a while back and I think I screwed up and should have gone with the X-10. The sound is good but the extra size feels kind of heavy in my ears. I would say the Image are super easy to get in and out and predict those will work best for you. Then again, the Custom 3s do hang over the ear and I find that mechanic to be a nice feature at times with any ear bud style headphone. I do know if I need to answer the phone the Image are much easier to

Considering how clumsy I am, they are in pretty good shape. I took another look last night to make sure there wasn't something to warn people about like a scratch or mark and nothing stood out. My car should look so good and it's just a 2006. Too bad I just don't have the house for these things.

Original owner of some Heresy II's that were given to me back in 1985 or so. Given to me by my father so it's a tough decision for me. The serial tag says 1985 but there is a copyright tag at the bottom that says 1986 so not sure what exactly to call them. Only issue I know of is that one of the screws that holds the riser to the speaker is pretty loose and can come undone when you pick them up. I used to sometimes lay them flat so I would take the riser off. Nothing some glue wouldn't

I like the idea of a dedicdate system outside the PC but I think it might be a waste of money and space when I have the PC in the room ready to go. I could see spending around $200 on speakers and receiver if something caught my interest but that might be money better spent on the PC setup.

I was thinking of trying to set something up in my small (11x11) home office for music but I'm not sure where to start. I use the office for computer work but it seems like using the computer for audio is never as good as a dedicated setup. However my room is small so I'm not sure a small pair of bookshelf speakers would work since I'd need at least a receiver to go with it and they aren't exactly tiny in most cases. I probably should just look into a DAC for the pc and some Promedia

The local dealer recommended the RB61 over the RB81 because the size was more of a match and they thought the 81 would overpower the center. I was skeptical but I gave it a try and the RB61 seem awesome. I ended up staying up way, way, way too late watching movies I've seen tons of times already just to enjoy the new balance in the system. The real test was watching a movie with the better half and at the end she said "Did you notice that I didn't ask you to turn it up once?" which

I asked this recently but my question wasn't very specific so this time I think I have a clearer question. What current bookshelf would be better match to the old RC3 and RS3? I think the it's between the RB10, RB51, RB61, and RB81.

Thanks for the replies so far. Let me try to fill in some details I left out. Budget - I'd like to stay in the 300-500 range. The RB51 seem a good target price but I wasn't sure if I could save money. I would prefer to not go eBay and buy new. As far as I know I can't get discontinued items at any local stores (very few local stores sell Klipsch). I haven't been to the nice local store that carries Klipsch yet to see what they do have - I've only been to a retailer and their selection

Right now I have my Heresy IIs with my very old Yamaha rx-v995 receiver and some rs3's and rc3. I was thinking it would be more balanced if I matched some bookshelf speakers to the rs3 and rc3, and it would look better which would please the better half. I was wondering what would match best. I was thinking the RB51 but wanted to check. Also, since it's been many years since I purchased a receiver, I was wondering if that might help balance out the system or at least give it a boost.
