I get can the RF-3's locally but not the Diva 4.1's which I'll have to pay around $500 in shipping. I'd like to know if there's any danger of getting damaged or faulty speakers since if I do, it would cost me an arm and a leg again to sendit back to have it fixed. Unlike the Klipsch, which has a dealer in my place. Btw, I live in the Philippines.
The Klipsch RF-3's are a very nice speaker, but they do sound different than any of the Diva's. I don't believe the Diva's will be a better speaker considering you have to pay so mych for shipping. For the price of the Diva's, plus the shipping charges, I would consider getting the RF-7's, now those are some SERIOUS speakers!
YOu might want to check out this thread about the RF-7 Inside the Rf-7 and this one about the 4.1 Inside the 4.1 . Some very good info.
I've got a basement storage room full of Klipsch Refs and a living room full of Divas. Cosmetics aside, the Diva is of a higher build quality than the Refs but they're both very good (yet very different) sounding speakers. I ultimately found the Refs too fatiguing and too colored in the mid/treble areas so I went a different way. I'm very glad I did and would characterize the Divas as being a risk well worth taking.
