Hello! I would like to ask if you know of any measurements, or a test that includes measurements, for Klipsch R-28F (possibly R-26F) speakers? I have a pair of R-28f's now and I can't decide what I don't like about them, what's strange about their sound. Does anyone have a box like this? Measurements, modifications, etc. would be interested. I don't like the sound of the funnel and the tweeter that much. Sometimes it seems a bit shouty, its voice is often muffled and muffled at the top (8 kHz+).

I cannot find any specific measurements of this particular model, so far.
Amir has measured the below, which doesn't really mean much in relation to your model... apart from the fact none measured well;

Klipsch R-41M Bookshelf Speaker Review
This is a review and detailed measurements of the Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speaker. I bought a pair from Amazon for US $149. The retail cost is US $229 but I suspect no one pays that. I always say speaker business is 80% marketing and Klipsch nails that with look and branding of this series of...

Yes, I have a Wiim Pro Plus, but unfortunately I don't have a measuring system, it's hard to set it up "blind". I couldn't find any frequency transfer measurements on the net.

For me, looking by ear, walking on the reference CD tracks of an audio body, the tonal balance seems to be good, roughly, up to 40, 60, 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz. 4 kHz has a painful emphasis (much louder), 8 kHz Ok, above that the 10-15 kHz band is very quiet (I can hear up to 15 kHz). The funnel is very prominent around 4kHz. This could be due to the aluminum tweeter used, perhaps...I cannot find any specific measurements of this particular model, so far.

You don't have to use a calibrated microphone to meter your gear and set the equalization. You can do it by ear and go for what sounds the most awesome to you.

Yes, I know that. I was just wondering if anyone has a frequency transfer measurement for this type to make it easier/more reliable.
What is the best is what sounds the best for your room. The sound changes dramatically and drastically between different rooms and the placement of the speakers. So using some calibrated file is in my opinion not the best method to set the equalization.

Interesting that most cite the negative part of the Klipsch RP600 review and neglect the conclusion..........."I cannot find any specific measurements of this particular model, so far.

Conclusions
Out of the box, the Klipsch RP-600M throws out the rule book, thinking that if you just sold boosted lows and highs and leaving mids behind is a good idea. It is not. Objective and subjective testing shows this to be a horrible choice ranking the speaker as one of the worst I have tested. Dial in some simple EQ though and the speaker transforms into a beauty. The "horn" is actually not a horn but a waveguide that is doing its job to provide uniform off-axis response allowing one to EQ the mid-range dip."
So, you have a $300 speaker( what I paid) that can made to sound good with simple equalization which takes a few minutes. Or you can buy a set of Revel 126s for $4,500 and I'm sure they are better, or 15 sets of the Klipsch to provide the gift of music to your entire family.
