This is are fully functional, great sounding pair of classic Klipsch larger bookshelf speakers. These have significantly more bass than smaller bookshelves. Ported to optimize low end extension. Though they are comparatively small, they can compete with many larger tower speakers. The cabinets are in great shape without any major scratches or dents. The grills are also excellent, with just a small bit of grill rash on top of one of the grills per the picture. This is what we call "patina",..a pleasant mark of vintage antiquity... nothing horrific.
The RB-35 delivers dynamic sound through an 8-inch woofer and 1-inch titanium-dome tweeter that features a high-energy, video-shielded Neodymium magnet. The tweeter is coupled to an exclusive Klipsch square Tractrix® Horn that increases sensitivity while minimizing the room interactions that blur the sonic detail and imaging of conventional speakers.
The woofer on the RB-35 uses an enhanced version of Klipsch’s distinguished, copper-colored Cerametallic™ material that is stronger than ever. This cone is made of an anodized aluminum that makes it tough but does not take away from its beauty. The anodizing process converts its inner and outer surface to ceramic. The result is a rigid cone with outstanding damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer’s operating range. Driving this cone is a large, video-shielded magnet and high-temperature, long-excursion voice coil, for high efficiency and deep, powerful, articulate bass without breakup or distortion.
