Also if you have a decent Sub the Added bass may not be worth the added bucks as a prior review may have stated(its really a matter of taste and preference. In fact I find that the bass from these speakers is more than adequate for all types of music(the best part is that the magnificent bass seldom drowns out the highs in the songs,and if this happens adjusting the bass is all you need do) and not too shabby for home theater use either. 1st Point of interest.These Speakers Carry lots of Bass and stay "true" at high decibel levels. I would also like to point out that depending on your receiver, you may be quite pleased at how well they function even with the less powerful amplifiers. The 2 largest things you need to consider are; Do you need Speakers this big. (these are monsters and seem heavier than 60lbs they are listed at)Do you have the luxury of being able to turn these up and Truly enjoy what separates them from lets say a comparable speaker with a more modest Woofer. I have a 7x75watt or 2x90 Harman Receiver, and although its high current/Bandwidth, its not the worlds most powerful, yet these speakers sound Beautiful, full, Clear and Crisp with much more room to spare in terms of my listening volume(I havent even begun to tap into what they are capable of for fear of being evicted. In other words they Are versatile in so far as you can get them running true from a quality Avg wattage amp(Ie: Onkyo,Harman,Denon,Marantz) and still have room to upgrade to something more powerful when your financial situation permits,without worrying that your speakers cant handle it.
I just purchased these from Best Buy, (Got a great deal) and couldn't be happier. I have read reviews from Vanns, Amazon, gone to Circuit City & Best buy and was convinced to buy these, good thing I did. I believe that when I Bi-Wire them to my receiver I will get even more sound, just waiting for my 12 gauge speaker wire to arrive.
The Tractrix horns deliver great highs and the 2 8" subwoofers per speaker gives great bass response. For someone that has bought $300 packaged systems from makers like Panasonic or Sony, these speakers will change your sonic expectations.The F-3 Synergy speakers are just about sufficient by themselves. As an earlier reviewer mentioned, a standalone subwoofer may not be necessary unless you are seeking booming lows. So far all I use is a Marantz 2275 vintage stereo receiver and these 2 babies and I am hearing sound that I never thought possible. Of course, having the center speakers, surround and a sub will fully flesh out the sound, but these really hold their own by themselves. For anyone that can dish out the cash, I would definitely recommend these as a start to a great system. You can't go wrong with Klipsch.
I haven't had speakers that performed like these since I was in my twenties. They had what they called an Exponential Horn. At that time I bought a pair of Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater speakers. The big black boxed that they used at concerts. I've missed that sound for forty years and didn't realize it until I bought these Klpsch speakers. All I can say is they are wonderful and affordable.Thank you Albert Kleppe
Purchased the F3s a week ago and I have had the chance to test it out with my Onkyo receiver.I could not be happier. I do not have the sub-woofer yet but so far I am finding that I do not need them. I originally intended to buy the F1s but I got a really good deal on the F3s. The F3s sound great with movies but they really stand out with music, all types of music. I strongly encourage everyone to give these a try if you are into great sound, it may cost a little more than entry level speakers but you will never regret the decision. My only suggestion is you may need an amplifier if you intend to throw a large party in a large area, unless you have a high-powered receiver.
