Last year I bought a pair of Klipsch RF-8000F floor speakers to stand in my (large) living room. Unfortunately, even though I have treated the room with lots of sound and bass absorbing panels, along with plants, paintings, rugs and you name it... it still echos and has terrible acoustics. Music just doesn't sound good there. They are great for movies/TV though (although I barely if ever watch it).
So I tried moving them into my little home office room (about 10x10 feet), but (due to their large size?) they don't sound good there either. So now I'm thinking whether I should sell them and buy a pair of bookshelf speakers for the office instead (+ a cheaper pair of floor standing speakers for movie watching). Would this make sense in my case?
Problem is I paid $2500 for this pair (I am in Mexico). Now as they've just released the 8000F v2, these cost less than $1000 brand new on amazon for a pair. So I wonder how much money I would get for them if I sold them.
Either way, what would you replace them with?
I used to own a pair of KEF LS50w (original version) and they were amazing. The new version (only one available) are too expensive for me though (almost $4000 for the pair). And I already own a decent amplifier (Cambridge Audio AXR-100, which I bought for $800). Any suggestions on what I should get? I mainly listen to: Blues, Classic Rock, Opera, Classical, Soul/Pop.
