Klipsch R-20B review
The R20-B may be a step up from the model before it, but more sub, more drivers, and more money doesn’t always equal more performance.

The Echo wireless speaker is Amazon’s most interesting experiment yet, and easily the most useful wireless speaker we’ve encountered. Whether it catches on will depend on whether Amazon quits its coy little invitation game and begins broad distribution.
