Bathroom Remodeling Tips
The bathroom is actually the most visited room in your home. It is also a room that is most frequently renovated. When bathroom remodeling is being done, it disrupts your household. Since the bathroom remodeling project is very disruptive, you need to keep off the room once the project begins. Therefore, before remodeling the room, you need to come up with schedules for bathroom use to be able to accommodate your family members. You should also make sure you have no plans for visitors during that period. Here are some of the things to consider when remodeling your bathroom. Checking out wikihow for more.
1. The budget
Remodeling your bathroom involves a lot of items. To be able to plan the budget well, you need to decide which items you will replace and which you will be putting back. The main items involved during bathroom remodeling are shower, tub, toilet, cabinets, flooring and lighting. When you list the items to replace and the ones to put back, you will be able to ensure your budget does not become an expensive one.
2. The storage
Before you begin the bathroom remodeling project, remember the storage. Majority of people like the look of the pedestal sinks but they do not provide the storage area. You need the storage for cleaning supplies, towels and toiletries. Another style in bathroom remodeling is installation of whirlpool tubs. They are very expensive to install, need a lot of space and very costly to repair. It is therefore important to do some research before installing one.
3. Flooring
A bathroom floor must be attractive and durable. Some of the excellent choices for a bathroom floor are stone, marble and ceramic tiles. They are available in different styles and they are very strong. Also, a bathroom floor must be water resistant; otherwise, your floor will get damaged very quickly. You also need to consider a floor that can be cleaned very fast. Also a floor that is easily cleaned is a great time saver after your bathroom remodeling project.
4. Mirrors
Bathroom mirrors are a central design element for many bathrooms. When providing opinions of space, mirrors are great ways of bringing your personal style to your bathroom. Classic framed mirrors are functional and they do not need to be expensive. You can find a beautiful mirror that enriches the look of your bathroom for under $100.
5. Lighting
A bathroom is a room that should have good lighting. When deciding what type of lighting you will be using, it is good to consider a source of natural light. You need to choose lighting that will balance the natural light and still provide privacy. If the natural light is not available, you can create one through the lighting you will choose.
6. Let your Style Shine
Bathroom remodeling is a big industry today. This means there are a wide range of flooring, fixtures, lighting and mirrors that can help you generate an ideal bathroom. Although you can get a lot of tips about how you should modernize your bathroom, you should always let your own preferences direct your choices.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Kristen Schaub Stand-out audio performance from a solid floor-standing speaker Looking for speakers that will take your movies and music to the next level? The Klipsch® RF-82 II offers up sparkling highs, rich, dynamic mids, and full-bodied bass for larger home entertainment spaces. Building on Klipsch's previous Reference speaker line, the Series II models have updated drivers and a new crossover system for even more spacious sound. Grab a pair of these well-made towers for your main left and right home theater speakers, or use them on their own for a rockin' stereo music setup. Horn technology for "front row" sound All Reference Series II speakers feature a redesigned version of Klipsch's famous horn-loaded tweeter. Because high-frequency sounds are more directional than bass frequencies, it's especially important to target them right toward your ears. Klipsch places their titanium tweeter inside a flared opening, known as a "horn," which disperses the highs evenly across your listening area in a 90°-wide, 60°-high pattern. With their Series II speakers, Klipsch has redesigned the shape and slope of their famous horn enclosure, so your movie soundtracks and music will sound more "open," with improved dynamics and efficiency. All in all, you can count on powerful, "front row" sound that's crystal-clear at all volume levels. High-tech driver design The RF-82 II uses newly machined, light-yet-rigid Cerametallic woofers with a folded edge to produce smoother mids and tighter bass. The specially treated aluminum in the cones helps to dampen unwanted vibrations and reduce distortion, while integrated dustcaps add stability. The RF-82 II also has dual five-way binding posts, giving you the option to bi-amp or bi-wire this speaker for even better performance. And the rigid, braced cabinet comes in a handsome woodgrain vinyl finish. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

Based on reviews found online & Crutchfield's return policy, I was confident about my purchase. I have only watched a few movies with these speakers, and so far, they are amazing. The detail in the sound is very good and sharp (not muddled). Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By Drew W., Massachusetts on Monday, July 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After months of research and several helpful on line chats with Crutchfield support, I chose the RF 82's to pair up with my Sony DN-1050 receiver. I'm very pleased. Powerful, clean, full sound. These are "big boy" speakers and are handling 160w with ease. Pros: Big sound. Clean. Full. Very nice looking. Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No The best of the best! Written By william, Arizona on Sunday, July 19, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Price for Price, the best speakers out there Pros: Loud! Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Amazing speakers Written By VenkatR, Atlanta,ga on Monday, June 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Amazing speakers. Bought a pair of these as an upgrade from my HTIB onkyo set i had. I just have a 2.1 system now but thats enough to blow my mind away. I also bought the outlet version of the speakers. As far as i know these looked like they were never even setup by anyone. Thats the best bang for my buck. Overall , if you can handle the sound produced by klipsch speakers these are some of the best ones you can get without breaking the bank. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No klipsch RF-82 ii Written By Mark G, Oklahoma on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these RF-82 II to replace my Klipsch KG-4 speakers, I wasn't expecting a big improvement over the kg-4's. But WOW what an extreme difference it made. I can hear many more sound effects in all of the movies I watch. The overall sound is much cleaner and crisper than the kg-4's. There is nothing wrong with my kg4 and I still use them everyday. But these RF-82's are amazing in what is reproduced compared to the kg-4's. Very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend to others. Pros: crisp, clean and clear sound Cons: not the RF-7's , lol 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No big sound Written By Charlie, Arizona on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Having had super speaker enclosures from the good old days, I was skeptical about getting new ones as I was used to having 12 to 15 inch woofers, etc. and wanted to get the good full bass sound,but the 82's came across quite good and produce a very good overall sound, but do find I need to crank up the volume to get what I like. No problem in souping up the sound as there is no distortion and at larger columns, they ( 2 together) produce a good clean sound. Pros: all good Cons: nothing bad 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Rf-82 ll Written By Dk, Tx on Thursday, May 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These are the best speakers I have ever bought just replaced my complete Bose home theater system to all klipsch speakers of still using the same Yamaha surround amp sound a lot better Pros: Great speakers and look good with and without covers on Cons: None 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great all-around sound Written By Ken, Huntsville, Alabama on Thursday, May 07, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I compared these side-by-side with the RF-62 II in a local HiFi store and the RF-82 has a much fuller sound. The extra bass really does make a difference. Love the clarity. Pros: Deep, full sound. Multiple connection options (bare wire, banana plugs, spades). Attractive finish. Cons: Heavy, requires freight shipping and big trucks can't get to my house because of a dead end and no way to turn around. Had to meet the tractor trailer at a nearby grocery store. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By Anonymous, Hampton bays,ny on Monday, April 27, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speaker for the price. if you love loud rock and roll music, this is your speaker. its size alone tells you something big is gonna happen. excellent base, very hi treble, perhaps a bit too high, and hi impedance makes this speaker crank with a low wattage amp. Pros: Price, massive size if like big, excellent bass Cons: Horns/treble sound a bit high at times 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Crutchfield is awesome. Customer service is great and received speakers in timely fashion. Awesome! Pros: Great concert sound whether watching a movie or cranking out the music! Cons: A few dollars invested but worth it. Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Written By Havoc23, 16059 on Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome look, Awesome sound, and for a great price. Thanks Crutch!!! Pros: What's not to like Was this review helpful? Yes No Classic Speakers, Amazing Sound Quality Written By Mark M., Ohio on Sunday, April 19, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Super detail and good spactial quality. Open but tight bass. Some have indicated that the horn can be highs too bright, I don't find that to be the case. After a month of listening, I bought a second pair. Good for classic, rock, jazz and home theater. Nice value. Pros: The 8" woofers are large enough for good bass, but still tight. The horn is not too bright for me. Good open sound and good looks as well. Great floorstanding speakers. Good value. Cons: Vinyl surface covering, but still attractive and it keeps the price down. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By Gill S., Oklahoma on Saturday, April 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great bang for the buck. With the sale price of $400 off for the pair, I decided to take the plunge, and it was well worth it. Very good musical presence and great bass! Pros: Two 8" woofers per speaker enclosure gives a solid bass structure. Cons: Screw for stand(s) should all have metal inserts. Only one hole had the metal insert. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch RF -82 II Written By Mike R., Ellisville, MS on Saturday, April 18, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very open sounding speakers. Tight bass and highs are very extended with the horns. Sounds are very detailed and have a up front soundstage. These are very efficient speakers. Will rock my 20 x 20 listening room. I drive them with an Adcom 100 watt per channel power amp which will deliver all the volume a person would ever need . All in all, great speakers especially for the price Pros: Great sound. Great price & quality ! Cons: Highs are a little bright with the horns. It took a bit to get used to, but after a month or so of breaking them in & listening to them , I am quite happy. I just have to turn the treble control down on some music , but that's no big deal . 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No excellent value, great quality Written By Anonymous, Texas on Sunday, April 12, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was wanting to step up my sound from a pair of B&W 685's (great bookshelf speakers, but without the bass response I was looking for) What a win using the RF82's. Love them... Pros: Quality sound at a good price. Was this review helpful? Yes No These speakers "Rock" Written By jnoll, New York on Thursday, April 09, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm far from an audiophile but was looking to upgrade from my 20 year old Nuance speakers with the Klipsch Reference RF-82 II and these sure have fit the bill. Powering these with a 20 year old Onkyo 75 watts per channel receiver and it's driving them with no problem. Have only had these. for a little over a week so their not really broken in yet but man are they impressive already. They are big, but I like that! Pros: Great sounding speakers, you won't regret Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Clean sound Written By Rico F, Michigan on Sunday, April 05, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Crisp clean sound! They replaced my B & O's. Brings out recorded sound that I didn't even know was there. Good, but not great bass response, for my taste.Well worth the investment. Pros: Visually appealing, crisp strong response. Cons: Heavy. I am using a small subwoofer to warm up the bottom end. Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By JayG, Iowa on Thursday, April 02, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers for the price. I'm using denon avrx2000 to push these speakers and they sound great Pros: Everything Cons: Nothing Was this review helpful? Yes No Worth Every Penny Written By Mike B, New Mexico on Monday, March 23, 2015 Engineers like myself can be skeptical. Apparently, Klipsch was founded by a skeptical engineer because these are everything I imagined and more. "Why didn't I buy these sooner?" They're that good. I also have RB-61 bookshelfers, and the tangible difference is in bass response. These RF82II towers reach just a tad lower in frequency. String instruments are a hair deeper. The room feels just a bit bigger. That said, I'm using this as a quadraphonic setup, and I'll probably get dedicated surround speakers and use the RB's as mains in another room, as they're really too good to stay on the sidelines. If you mostly stand up and jam, consider the taller RF7's. If you're on a budget, put RB61's on stands. If you watch movies, these horns are just a tad above ear level, which delivers a room filling sound. I've played everything though these RF's to get them broken in. Dubstep from the 2008 era, Video games, Classical FLAC files, Jazz, and of course, my vinyl collection. I hear things I hadn't heard before. All in all, these RF 82 II's are the best speakers I've ever had. If you don't have the room, but you still want them, Make room, get a smaller TV, ditch the girlfriend, sell the motorcycle, whatever. Scratch your audio itch. Pros: Level frequency response, deep bass, crisp highs, affordable, rigid, good looking copper woofers, Cons: Room. These are about 16" deep, so if you don't have much room... uh.. make room. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No klipsch rf 82 II Written By john in the villages, the Villages, Florida on Friday, March 20, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) good value for the money Pros: sound good Cons: not to be considered a complaint, but unless you have these fairly close together, you will want a center channel. They are somewhat directional. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Value Written By Mark S., New Hampshire on Thursday, March 19, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I'm not an audiophile, but I know what I like and I also appreciate a good value. For the money, these speakers are really special. When I listen to these speakers at a good volume, it's like I'm wearing the lightest pair of headphones ever made. These speakers sound great when playing blues at low volume and they also sound great when cranking AC/DC. I read other reviews about "imaging" and I really didn't understand, now I do. Sometimes I swear it sounds like there more than just the two speakers. Pros: Great sound through the entire range. Great value. Cons: They are heavy, so keep the boxes for when you move. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: highs mids lows all come out exceptionally with only 80w.just a great speaker. Cons: n/a 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent sounding speakers Written By Louis, Mississippi on Sunday, February 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am an active amateur classical musician who listens to a wide variety of musics, but I test my speakers on classical and opera. I'm delighted with the sound of these. It took me a couple of steps to get here. I initially ordered a pair of the RF-52II's to replace my still excellent-sounding, 25-year-old KEF Q60s. The RF-52II is superb, except the bottom of the music just wasn't there. I sent them back and ordered the RF-82II model. (And Crutchfield was perfectly helpful with returns. Wonderful staff). With this model, the double basses and cellos that open Brahms German Requiem, the harps in the first bars of the Mahler 9th, or the lower range of the piano in chamber music sound rich and full. On the upper end of the audio spectrum, I like the sound of Klipsch's horn tweeters. I like the brightness, which brings out the details in the human voice and the orchestra. Jazz and rock sound terrific on these speakers, as well. FYI, I just don't do home theater, and I hate the artificially loud midrange bass of today's movie theaters, which gives me a headache. I run these speakers with modest equipment: a fifteen-year-old Technics SA-EX110 receiver and an equally aged Panasonic seven band equalizer. With the equalizer, I augment the 60 and 150 Hz somewhat. Pros: Excellent sound across the audio spectrum. Very good, natural sound on the lower end of the audio spectrum for classical and opera. Cons: These are large speakers, which isn't technically a "con", but get your tape measure out and make sure they fit your space. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Just Buy Them! Written By AlanS, Virginia on Wednesday, February 11, 2015 I decided to upgrade my Polk RT800s to the Klipsch Reference II series. I tried the RF 62s and found them to be a much more efficient, and crisp sounding speaker than the much older Polk predecessors. However, I found them to be a bit lacking for a large room, so I gave the 82s a try. Wow, what a difference! The bass response is very dramatic between these speakers. They sound warmer to me, and the difference in bass output is phenomenal. You can feel it. If you are on the fence, spend the extra money and try the 82s. Finally, low volume sound is outstanding, and they are insanely loud when powered properly. These speakers really live up to the Klipsch motto. You can tick the neighbors off with ease. Pros: Speaker efficiency, build quality. Cons: Size and weight. They are huge, and heavy. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference 82s Written By Anonymous, Dayton, OH on Thursday, January 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Probably the best pair of tower's I've ever heard. Probably the last pair of speakers I'll ever purchase for my stereo set up. The vinyl exterior is robust but doesn't resemble a good hardwood by much. They feel sturdy and showed up in great shape (though ups held them for a few days while in transit). They've been great for really hearing some of my record collection as I've never heard before. Pros: Great sound fidelity. Good crossovers. Very good separation of mid and low frequency drivers. Wonderful response, even at very low volume. Cons: Heavy (70 lbs.). Cabinet exterior is vinyl wood grain. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The RF-82 II are very smooth. Written By Tony, United States on Sunday, January 11, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The RF 82 are very smooth. It covers the full range of sound. I have an RF 62 and an RF 52. The 82 is a great complement. Pros: Smooth sound with great coverage of the audible range from lows to highs. Cons: Not necessarily a negative, but it seems to require a bit more power than I expected. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By mns3dhm, Bedford, TX on Friday, July 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I grew up listening to Klipsch speakers like the Klipschorn and Heresy so I was familiar the Klipsch sound. I purchased the RF 82s as the front LR speakers in a Klipsch home theater setup. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the brand, Klipsch speakers are famous for their ability to achieve very high volume levels with relatively little amplification. That's extremely important if you're trying to achieve theater or concert like volume levels using most home theater receivers. In that regard, the RF 82s really deliver; they can reproduce movie soundtracks and music with a visceral slam that will get your attention. The speakers reproduce wide dynamic swings with ease - they can go from a whisper to a scream in a hurry so to speak. I've spent quite a bit of time listening to rock, jazz, and electronic tracks I'm familiar with and its interesting to hear how these speakers reproduce musical details. I think for this price range you could do a lot worse than the RF 82s and most people could live with them quite happily. Pros: Can attain theater or concert like volume levels with relatively little amplification Bass reproduction can deliver a visceral slam - its a great rock speaker Dynamics reproduced very effectively Cons: As noted by others they're large by modern standards; do check with your spouse 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No RF-82 Klipsch Reference Written By the sound of Klipsceee, Hickory,NC on Friday, June 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No need to talk about the speaker, they are the legend in sound, beautiful ,loud and clear,very good for all kind of music from easy listening to jazz,rock or soul you just have to get you one to experience it before you die. Pros: The speakers look and sound wonderful, I give it five stars rating and the other five or ten stars go to Crutchfield service,order these speaker on Friday morning before noon and received on Monday(from VA to NC) very impressive service,after all these years, Bill Crutchfield, he knows how to run his business and only store still sending out colorful magazine to these days and i love it.

Yes No My RF-82 review Written By Dix, Griffin,Ga. on Saturday, May 24, 2014 After enjoying my acoustat X's for many years I was ready for a speaker change. I was very pleased with the Klipsch sound for years as well. So I purchased these RF-82s 2 months ago. Having changed from the electrostatic hybrid sound to the bass reflex sound needless to say I'm very pleased with the 82s. They are very up front and clear and use little power to drive them. Right now I'm using a Marantz M- CR-510 network receiver (50) watts. They are loud enough for me. I'd definitely recommend these speakers to anyone. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Exactly what I was looking for, but there are some things to note Written By Brian, 85741 on Saturday, May 17, 2014 So first, these have great overall range. I have a 2.0 system with these, and you might not know I didn't have a sub while watching a movie. The highs are crisp, but you need to have a solid EQ at your disposal to avoid any harsh frequencies in the 800-2k Hz range (might just be my room and eq). Now, the two things to note. First, these are HUGE. If you have a set of large bookshelf speakers, add another to the back and double the height, and you MIGHT fill the volume of one of these. but this is not a con, just something to be aware of. Second, these speakers are extremely directive. That is, if you are not sitting in the direct line of these speakers you will notice a very heavy drop in the higher frequencies, namely frequencies that affect sibilance in speech. These are very impressive speakers, and if you catch it used or on a sale you can get a pair for less than $900. I would recommend these, but do note that if you have tile floors or cannot sit in line with the tweeters (large group showings), you may find the narrow horn beamwidth to be a problem. Pros: Good value on sale. Great bass. Average receiver powers fine. Large. Cons: Large. Narrow horn beamwidth. Can sometimes be bright if not EQ'd properly. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Perfection ! Written By fhkazm, Nanticoke, PA on Saturday, May 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have wanted to own a pair of Klipsch speakers for years, and finally had the opportunity to purchase them for my home . Truly amazing sound quality ! The 8 inch woofers produce deep, tight bass that doesn't require the addition of a subwoofer. Crystal clear mids and highs compliment the well rounded sound of these reference series speakers. Beautiful vinyl finish on the cabinets and attractive speaker covers add to the overall excellence of these speakers. Could not be more pleased . Thrilled to own these speakers. Pros: Beautiful cabinets and perfect sound from an attractive, slim enclosure. Cons: None noted. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Been Waiting for Years... Written By Me Picklechip, Motor City on Sunday, May 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have been waiting a long time to upgrade my Klipsch Synergy's (circa early 2000's) to a set of Reference speakers...almost since the day I bought my Synergy's! Finally, I had some spare capital and my wife gave me the green light. In short I am very pleased with these speakers. They really add a new level of detail to our home theater experience...more detail, fills our large family room easily, and cherry finish is really sharp (far nicer in person to look at than the crumby picture online), The fact that I was able to actually stretch my dollars and get the RF 82 II RF 62 II (which my budget allowed for) made this buy even more sweet for me. Pros: Excellent at filling a large family room with sound Absolutely crisp detail (what do you expect from a Klipsch horn?) The finish is really quite beautiful Cons: Made in China...I'm a little disappointed here because my old Synergy floor standers were made in Hope, AK. If those could be made in the US certainly Klipsch could have made these there too? 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sound Written By Colorado Living, Denver, Colorado on Friday, May 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) If you want pristine highs without distortion and thumping bass, then these speakers are for you. Rock, country, pop, hip-hop, all sound great. Audio snobs might want to look elsewhere because these speakers were made to dance to and also kick back on. I play them low volume to casually listen, but, crank it up to really enjoy the sounds of my youth. Also, these speakers sound so good when playing movies, I can actually hear the dialogue. The center channel, RC-62 II, is also a must have for movies. I've auditioned many speakers and these sounded the best to me. Its really a personal choice. Don't let expensive prices and snob based reviews fool or sway you, trust your ears instead. Life is short, kick back and enjoy the sounds. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The sound is bright , full, tremendous. The speakers do need to break in though as they really just seem to get smoother with time. I'm running a NAD C 275 BEE Amplifier , an Onkyo Preamp and an Onkyo C-7030 CD Player all hooked into a Monster Power protection system. All the power you will ever need. I recommend them highly. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic Speakers Written By MattR, Chicago, IL on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these speakers in an attempt to fill a large, open room with good stereo sound...and these absolutely delivered! I have always had some flavor of subwoofer/satellite packages and they simply cannot deliver good 2.1 sound. I am powering these with a modest 75W Denon receiver without any problems at all. When in full 5.1 mode for movies these speakers perform extremely well. Very crisp, detailed highs and the lows blend really well across the front 3.1 channels. Word of "caution", I ended up upgrading my subwoofer because of these speakers. You need a pretty competent sub to keep up with these things for movies and bass-heavy music. I have a 1000W peak 12" ported sub from a non-Crutchfield manufacturer and its doing the job well now. One other thing...these speakers look fantastic! I have never attached the grilles and I have no intention of changing that! Pros: Room-filling sound Efficient Well-balanced sound Look great Cons: I'd love to have real wood cabinets...but hey, at this price point, you would have to sacrifice something else to get real wood. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I post my Vienna Acoustic Mozart Grand and the Maestro on Craigslist the next day and got these speakers along with an RC -62II. Still got 600 bucks to spare from selling the VA speakers. I am enjoying these speakers more than my last VA's speakers. Not saying these speakers are better, but my ears like them better. Pros: Clear, loud, looks good and good price.

Written By bunny, Wisconsin on Saturday, March 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In my hunt for mid-priced speakers I have tried Magnepan MMG's, Polk ATI-A7's, Def Tech, and some vintage Pioneers. These 82ii's have caused me to end my search. Brilliant highs, clean mids, and enough bass to not need a sub. I use them for stereo use only (so far) and it makes my high quality flac music come alive. I was playing them at a low volume and was pleased, but when I cranked them up just a little they produced a definite wow-factor! If I had to have one con, it would be that the Klipsch 82's are hard to move with the spikes on the bottom, but that's not THEIR fault. The MMG's didn't sound right to me, the Def Techs were nice but didn't have punch, and the Polks seemed like they had a thick comforter thrown over them. I am now a Klipsch Reference fan. Crutchfield got them to me faster than I thought and I am one happy camper. Will be ordering some RF-52ii's for rear surround when they go on sale. Pros: Clean crisp and clear sounding highs, mids and lows. Nice and sensitive, really come alive as you turn up the volume even tho low levels sound nice too. Look cool. Cons: Not really a con, but moving them when the spikes are on is a pain. LOL 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I had waited a very long time, for this quaity. Written By Patrick, Wantagh, New york. on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In 1966, before joining the Navy, I purchased Wharfedale speakers. Splendid three way speakers. They had played a million Saturday night tunes. Or, close to it., or so it seems. Music is magic to me. It is life, and a thread to years gone past. But, it must sound correct. After being valiant performers in 48 years, my Wharfedales no longer sounded the same. I knew it was time. I had found the Crutchfield company years ago. I purchased a Klipsch sub from them, and when it needed a repair, they were right there. As advertised. I did not hesitate to return. Because I could not hear a speaker that I was interested in, I had to do my home work. And I did ! The winner ...the Klipsch Reference 82 ll. And, here is why. They were ordered, and shipped just as Crutchfield laid out. They are a bit big, and bit heavy. But beautiful. Mine are cherry. Stunning in my home, and the price was right. They were ' bright / tight ' sounding when first played. They did not sound good, at first. But, if you did your homework, you knew this might happen. In two hours of playing...the flowers opened ! The RF-82 ll's took hold of my living room. And, I let them perform. Such sounds, I had never experienced. Pure, true highs. Soft / powerful mids. The base only grew better, but when it topped out, I added that Klipsch sub.. I told you about. Bottom line...these Klipsch 82 ll speakers are magnificent / magic. Mine are used for music only. Good things come to those that wait. Enjoy. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Pure Love!.

I have been looking at these speakers for quite some time now. And i could not be happyer. Thank you Crutchfield!

Written By Ice man, Deep south on Saturday, February 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have a few other Klipsch products (a small 2.1 powered PC speaker system and some mid level earbuds) and am very impressed with both. I have had a Klipsch RW12D sub sitting for a year brand new in the box that I bought for a great price elsewhere and after reading about the RF82 II's I was ready. I checked reviews on alot of sites and that sealed the deal for me . I had no way of listening to these speakers before buying but went for it anyways. It didn't take long to figure out I had made the right choice. Paired with a Marantz SR6008 the RF 82 II's sound fantastic. The eq on the receiver is set at around 0 db across every band. I hear nuances in my music that I never heard before. I turned off the powered subwoofer so I could hear just the RF82II's and all I can say is if these are in your price range I highly suggest getting them. I found that a powered sub is not needed with these but If you are like me and prefer a bit more bass then you always have the option. From what I have read these sound even better after being broke in for a month or so. I can't imagine because I am already very pleased. Pros: Superb sound quality, well made, wider back legs to prevent tipping Cons: The cherry veneer are priced $100 less each when I highly doubt they cost any less to make. 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Cons: They are very difficult to move, especially after I put the spikes on them. And the connections are a little awkward for my bigger than normal hands.

Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By Tye, New York on Sunday, November 17, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Let me begin by giving Crutchfield an A + in customer service. Secondly I saved for months to purchase these speakers and convincing my wife's ears to death about how we "need these for our living". I originally purchased them from another online store who advised me that I would receive them in 4 business days. On the day of delivery not a single person there could inform why I did not receive my speakers or what the hold up was. After 3 weeks of going back and forth with their horrible customer service I came across Crutchfield and after reading literally every single review I made the decision to purchase even with my order with the other company under "shipping soon" status......right. Not only did I get my speakers on time Crutchfield confirmed my order with a phone call and even sent me a hand written thank you card from Artie. Clearly with this kind of customer service I Have taken my online purchases away from other stores and obtained a great first time experience with Cructhfield and will continue with them in the future. Btw after the speakers arrived and I took the covers off the speakers my wife was taking pictures and putting them Up on Facebook. I would definitely recommend Crutchfield to my friends and family.

Yes No Klipsch RF 82 II Reference Speakers Written By GTB, Spokane, WA on Friday, September 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After reading other reviews I expected these speakers to be "in your face" or "bright". Instead I'm pleased that I've found these to be extremely smooth and are capable of the deepest lows and delicate highs. For me a good test of speakers is how they handle the crossover point from one driver to the next. Phase integration and simple tone changes from one driver to another can trip up some otherwise great speakers. Female vocals tend to be a very telling test for this, and these Klipsch speakers do an admirable job in this range. I use these speakers for both HT and music, and am driving them with a Denon AVR-E300 receiver. 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Klipsch RF-82 II Written By JeffR, MA on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are the greatest floor standers that I have ever had the pleasure to own. I was a little hesitant at first based on the price but if I had to do it again I would for sure splurge and buy these wonderful speakers again. I am coming from Infinity Primus P362's as my mains and I can certainly tell you that these RF-82 II's are leaps and bounds better. Much better highs which are more crisp and clear and the low end is great as well. Bass response on these are very good and they produce a nice tight bass response. They can go pretty low but if you are a home movie buff or looking for more bang then a sub-woofer is for sure recommended but not needed. These as a stereo pair sound great. I am using a Pioneer Elite SC-37 receiver and these speakers can be pushed hard with no signs of distortion what so ever even at high volumes thanks to their very efficient design. Just finished rewatching Star Wars eps 3-6 and these speakers made the movie come alive like I never heard before. Stellar. One last note: these are not as directional as some reviewers have stated. Pros: Provides an excellent front sound stage from crisp clean high's thanks to its horn loaded tweeter. Bass response is excellent provided you have the right amp/power going to these speakers. Ability to bi-amp these speakers is an excellent option to have. Cons: Not really a con but at this price point I would like to have a real wood veneer...that being said the vinyl wood grain is very well done and does not look cheap and does in fact look like real wood. I went with the black ash. As others have noted on the 5-way binding posts, they feel a little cheap to me but get the job done. Would have preferred them to be metal instead of the plastic thumb screws. These are heavy speakers as others have noted and quite large as well so measure your room! 18 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Awesome speakers, completely challenge my long held beliefs concerning speakers, cannot believe that two eight inch speakers are capable of such clean and extended bass, the highs and midrange are equally impressive, the high efficiency is the icing on the cake. Pros: Can't fault construction quality on any level, equal to high quality American made products. Cons: Wish the finish were real wood but for the price it's to be expected. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Exelent Pros: Good 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Speakers!! Written By Shawn C, Arizona on Sunday, March 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow! I've had these speakers for a couple weeks now and continue to be impressed. It took a little time to re-adjust my Onkyo 809 the way I like music to sound and a little time for my ears to get used these speakers, but it was well worth it! I hear things in music now that I was missing before! I have purchased a whole reference series for my main listening area and man do they sound great together! These towers can handle power very well. I cannot get them to distort, no matter how loud I turn it up! I love my bass and for people who need to feel their music I suggest adding a sub to the mix, the speakers bass is good alone, but it will not "hit" you without a sub. For the money, these speakers are an exceptional value!! I would buy them again without hesitation! Pros: Great clarity, excellent highs, awesome presense Cons: a little light on the bass for anyone who needs to be "moved" - That's why we buy subs! 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No RF 82 Klipsch speakers Written By Anonymous, Conroe, TX on Saturday, March 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have listened to several speakers better than the Klispsch RF 82. They were $6000.00 and higher. The Klipspsch are very directional, be aware of that. The overal performance is very good. I do not believe you can buy any speaker better in this price range. If you buy these you will NOT be disappointed. My statement: Klipsch delivers again! Do not hasitate... Pros: Unbelivable for the price Cons: non 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No AWESOME speakers! Written By Richard U., McAllen, Tx. on Thursday, March 14, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have always admired and wanted Klipsch speakers. In the early 1980's, I had a friend that owned a pair of Klipschorn's, and they sounded amazing. There are truly no words that can properly convey just how AWESOME these speakers are. I have a pair of RF 7 II's standing side-by-side of the RF 82 II's and my center speaker is the Klipsch RC 64 II, with the RS 62 II's surround speakers that I mounted on the wall above my couch, and the SW 311 subwoofer, all which I ordered from Crutchfield, The pro's at Crutchfield promptly answered all my questions, so I decided to pull the trigger and let the moths out of my wallet. You only live once, so if you want the best in sound, order your Klipsch speakers, THE KEEPERS OF THE SOUND from Crutchfield. When I ordered them, I couldn't wait to get them. The sound that they produce is PURE AUDIO ECSTACY. POWER. DETAIL. EMOTION. is exactly what you will get when you order your Klipsch speakers. If you want the best, you have got to pay for it. Pros: The sound these speakers reproduce is exactly what sound engineers expect. Cons: To me, there are no cons about the RF 82 II's. I have always believed that you get what you pay for. I give these speakers a 5 star rating. 14 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Killer Klipsch Speakers Written By RadioDan, Independence Or on Sunday, November 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I was a kid I used to dream about the ideal stereo system.. Of course, like any dream, it included Klipsch Corner Horn speakers.. Now that I have the available resources to make my dreams happen I found a vintage Empire Troubadore turntable, (had an amp already) and went looking for speakers. I considered the Corner Horns, but they dont really fit the decor, so I got a set of Refernce 82s... Man, they are AWESOME !!! Of course that wasn't enough, so now I also have the rest of the refernce series 5.1 surround sound set. WOW!!!!! I am still unsure of the actual need for a subwoofer (or pair thereof) because the 82s have stunning thunderous low frequency response... as low as any of my source goes so far... Pros: Not only is the sound thrilling, but the look great too! Cons: none 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By Stevie S, San Antonio, TX. on Friday, October 19, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Wow!! These speakers are awesome...they rock ! I put together a Klipsch, Def Tech , Denon surround system not really caring about " surround" since I'm mainly into music but.....now , I'm converted ! ...I have the best of both and Crutchfield showed me how. Pros: No need for a sub, they look impressive Cons: Hard to convince apartment manager your not the one with the loud music !!! 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Movie or Music, it'll rock both Written By Brandon, Owings Mills, MD on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 I purchased the RF-82II as my left and right reference speakers (purchased 2 towers in total), and to go along with the RC-64II center. I am pleasantly in awe of the clarity and depth these towers offer. They will play/ hit the highest of the highs and deepest lows that a movie sound track can throw at it, and will replicate and envelop you in warm melody if you're playing music through them. For the price, there is not a better tower on the market! (this is my opinion and based on how my ears hear the speakers). Pros: price, clarity, style, size, warranty, power (RMS Watt) handling capability, Bi-Amp capability, weight, cabinet construction, packaging for shipping Cons: if you are not accustomed to tower speakers of these dimensions, they could be heavy to you and less maneuverable around your home..... Nothing about these towers is negative 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Pros: none Cons: none i can find at this time 4 out of 14 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent main speaker choice Written By thedjan, Bellingham, WA on Friday, May 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Little assembly required for floor stands/carpet spikes right out of the box. They are heavy and of obvous quality. You might concider a hand cart with towels for padding to locate in you room. Manufacturer recomends 2 feet behide for optimum bass response. I have 2 subs so bass response for me was not an issue. They perform well and provide excellent mid and high range main speakers for my set up. The detail I have been missing is amazing. By them selves as a stereo pair they sound ok, but I use them in concert w/ an entire Klipsch reference series speaker 9.2 setup. They are designed to work togeather and for that they are quite simply amazing. Pros: Quality, sound, apearance, bi-amp ability Cons: none so far 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Order processed and timely. Set up went well. The overall project is still going on. Pros: I have been an audiophile since 1958 and the sound is excellent. Cons: None 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No LovemyKlipsch Written By Klipsch RF-82II, Jacksonville, FL on Thursday, February 09, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My system: 5.1 using Yamaha RX-V1900 7.1 receiver, total Klipsch speaker system with RF-82II left and right, RF62II center, RF-52II rear surround. Impressive detail and imaging, soundstage just grew with introducing these exceptional speakers(last 2 speakers to replace before the system became all Klipsch). Provides all the bass needed above the sub woofer frequency. Gives alot of punch in dynamics. Pricing is very reasonable and once you hear the impact of these speakers within your sound system, you will be amazed. Very easy to drive. They work well with complimentary Klipsch speakers to complete the surround layout. Before buying these speakers, I never used the "Direct Audio" mode of my audio receiver. Now, when I want to get serious about listening to a CD, I select Direct Audio without hesitation. Pros: Great eye appeal. Awesome sound. Affordably priced. Great selection for stereo or surround application. Cons: I truly can't think of any. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Excellent Value Written By RobK, Dallas, TX on Sunday, February 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought a pair of these from Crutchfield about 5 months ago. The quality of sound is excellent- I got the matching center channel speaker and movies/TV sound great. I play lots of music as well, very pleased with the sound. Firm, natural bass, voices and acoustic instruments sound great, and they can handle anything from Bach to Hendrix. They sound great even at low levels, but it's just so tempting to crank it up and give them room to roam, The appearance is first-rate, too (I got the cherry finish). Highly recommended. 8 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Klipsch Reference RF-82 II Written By AndyL, St. Paul, MN on Tuesday, January 25, 2011 These are some of the best speakers I have ever owned. I went from a Yamaha 5.1 system to just these two speakers and wow!! Just these two speakers kick more than than my 5 surrounds and a sub. I wasn't sure the extra money for 2 speakers versus 5 would be worth it but I can assure you it is. I can turn these up so loud and they are still crystal clear. There is more bass in my room now than when I had my old sub going. I was so impressed I had to buy the rest of the set. I love these speakers! Just to let you know I am using a Denon 2808ci receiver to power this. 110w X 7 10 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No State of the Art Written By NeilR, Finksburg, MD on Tuesday, January 18, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I admit to not being an audiophile but I enjoy good music of almost every sort with a collection of over 1000 CDs. These are pricey but well worth it and I'm glad I paid the additional $$$ for the wood finish. The speakers were paired up with a Yamaha RX797 Receiver and a Marantz CC4003 CD player. The sound is as if all my CDs are being rediscovered - the quality is incredible and many of my jazz CDs now sound as if I were in an intimate club with the players in the same room. Other than the dent in my wallet I have no regrets about any of the sound ensemble for my very special music listening room - these speakers are the foundation of the group - and I am very glad I dealt with Crutchfield for advice and price. 10 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No klipsch reference series II speakers Written By RicardoM, Queens,N.Y. on Friday, October 15, 2010 i bought these speakers RF 82II with the matching RC 62II and the RS 52II. i upgraded from an 15 year old polkaudio RMII 5.1 system. they are connected to an onkyo TX-SR806 receiver rated at 130WX7. compared to old system these speakers can be played at half the volume and still sound ten times better. granted these cost four times as much. these speakers are very effcient 95 DB and higher. i swear i can keep my infinty 12 sub turned off and the bass is still incredible. these speakers can play very low 33hz. my living room is only 15X21 and the whole sofa will vibrate at 1/4 to 2/3 volume. this might be overkill for a new york city apartment but i am very happy. as always great service from crutchfield. 23 out of 25 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The Klipsch Reference RF-82 II employs dual 8.0-inch woofers and a 1.0-inch titanium diaphragm compression driver loaded with a square Tractrix Horn, inside a bass reflex enclosure. The Klipsch Reference Series floor-standing loudspeaker will bring out the power, detail, and emotion in your music, movies, or video games. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Highly-Efficient Design: The Klipsch RF-82 II utilizes a highly efficient design to produce more output using less power & energy for louder sound with less distortion. The RF-82 II is able to fill large rooms with outstanding, accurate, non-fatiguing sound that you can listen to for hours. Tractrix Horn Tweeter: The Klipsch RF-82 II features a professional-grade 1.0-inch titanium-diaphragm compression driver inside a square Tractrix Horn for smoother high-end response with greater extension, enhanced imaging, and more powerful dynamics. The Tractrix Horn delivers a 90-degree wide by 60-degree high dispersion pattern for a broader sound-stage. Behind the horn lies a 1.0-inch titanium tweeter with a linear travel suspension for open, natural, sound. Dual Woofers: The dual 8.0-inch woofers of the RF-82 II feature Klipsch's distinctive, copper-colored Cerametallic cones. Made with an anodized aluminum, these cones are strong and dent resistant. The anodizing process converts their inner and outer surfaces to ceramic. The outcome is a rigid cone with superb damping characteristics that will not flex or resonate at frequencies within the woofer's operating range. The 8.0-inch woofers also employ a rubber surround for added durability. Crossover Network: For signal purity and perfect driver integration, the crossover on the RF-82 II features the finest components and Klipsch custom internal wiring. Enclosure Design Bass Reflex Enclosure: The dual 8.0-inch Cerametallic cone woofers and 1.0" titanium diaphragm compression driver are mounted in a Bass reflex enclosure which features dual rear-firing ports. The RF-82 II's rigid cabinet offers improved internal cross-bracing to minimize panel vibrations that can color sound and dual rear-firing ports to eliminate turbulence noise. A black metallic finished baffle around the horn mouth and dual woofers dramatically improve acoustics across the sonic range. The bass reflex enclosure features a MDF cabinet finished with either a Black Ash or Cherry wood-grain vinyl. Magnetic Grille: The floor-standing loudspeaker features a removable magnetic grille which easily snaps into place over its cast-aluminum front baffle. The speaker can be used with or without its grille in place. Connections Dual Binding Posts: The speaker has two sets of binding posts connected by jumpers. Using the dual binding posts, you can bi-amp or bi-wire the speakers. The binding post terminals will accept banana plugs (single only), pin-connectors, spade-connectors, and bare wire. Mounting Options Feet: The RF-82 II feature two integrated front-feet and two stabilizer rear-feet with rubber bottoms so you can safely place the speaker on your tile or hardwood floors. The Reference RF-82 II also comes supplied with a set of carpet spikes so you can place the speaker comfortably on your carpet. The supplied carpet spikes add approximately 1.0-inch to the height of the speaker. The carpet spikes screw in directly to the bottom of the floor-standing speaker's feet. Placement: The Reference Series floor-standing loudspeaker is designed to perform well in a wide variety of locations but you will get the most out of the speaker by following these simple guidelines. The speaker requires a few inches of clearance behind it to allow its port to breathe and will sound best when they are at least two feet from any nearby walls. A pair of RF-82 II loudspeakers should be equal distance from the wall behind them. It also helps to have the left and right speakers at different distances from their nearest side walls. This sort of staggering helps smooth the bass range. Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

The Portsmouth Municipal Court, along with other city and county agencies, have been sending workers throughout the community to pick up litter. Since May, community service workers have picked up between 500 and 600 tons of litter from city and county roadways.
On Monday, community service workers were in the east end of Portsmouth cleaning up alley ways of litter brush and various debris.
Kyle McCain, a probation officer and Community Service Director with Portsmouth Municipal Court said cleanup work is being done in conjunction with an east end operational plan developed by Tracy Shearer, Community Development Director.
With cleanup efforts being coordinated through Shearer, Scott Douthat, professor at Shawnee State University and Bob Gambill, local business owner.
"Someone was once quoted as saying we are going to take back our neighborhood one block at a time," Gambill said, while helping the community service workers on Monday. "You just have to start small, we always to a lot of stuff from the top down. We are trying to get everyone together and focus attention on this neighborhood and move outward."
McCain said the city is looking to identify homeowners that need help with maintenance issues around their home.
"There are CHIP (Community Housing Improvement Program) grants available to homeowners through the city. If approved through Tracy, we can have our workers to help them paint, fix items to help bring their property value up," McCain said.
Places like the east end show the continuing need for community service works in this roll, McCain said
McCain believes the efforts by Portsmouth Municipal Court Judges Steven L. Mowery and Russell D. Kegley to make this program a reality has made a difference in the community.
"The positive feedback we get for people when we are cleaning up around their neighborhood has been noting but positive. People have brought the workers food and water. I have not gotten one negative comment yet," McCain said.
He said some of projects the community service workers have been involved with include the cleanup of Rose Street Park.
McCain acknowledged there is a lot of work to be done in cleaning up the community and commented,"we are willing to do it."
For more information about this program, call the Environmental Health Division of the Portsmouth City Health Department at 740-353-5153.

Taste the Balkans
05 Dec 13
Michele Rumiz
Apart from mapping products in their home countries, a significant task for the ESSEDRA project partners will to work on the joint campaigns to be activated in the Balkan region and Turkey in the coming years. Organizing campaigns means on the one hand raising awareness, mobilizing citizens and influencing their everyday food choices, and on the other pushing the relevant authorities to promote sustainable rural development throughout the area.
To this end, with the aim of acquiring experience and skills, all the partners met in Sofia for "Taste the Balkans", an important chance to assess what has been done so far in the different countries.
For example, from Turkey, Burcu Gezeroglu brought news of the campaign to protect the lüfer, which has managed to unite very different figures—academics, chefs, politicians from different sides, civil society organizations, fishers and consumers—under the banner of one simple demand: to raise the minimum catch size for lüfer from 14 to 24 centimeters to save it from the risk of extinction. The clarity of this demand, along with the capacity and organization of a highly efficient network, that led to the success of the campaign and its gradual transformation into something even bigger and more ambitious: the first edition of Slow Fish Istanbul, held from October 17 to 20 this year.
Another story came from Albania, where, Pierpaolo Ambrosi explained, Vis Albania has started an important initiative integrating local development, tourism possibilities and food production into a single project to encourage the sustainable development of the country's rural, mountainous north.
More fascinating inspiration came from the other partner countries, working on campaigns to protect local breeds or promote raw-milk cheeses. This meeting served to introduce all the different actions put into practice by the ESSEDRA partners and the challenges they have faced so far, in order to build a critical mass for moving towards the shared sustainability objectives. The days in Sofia offered an important opportunity for comparison and discussion, helping the partners become more aware of their strengths, the initiative's significance and the main political and social challenges which must be faced together in the coming years.
