I'm currently in the process of upgrading my home audio system and am considering investing in a pair of tower speakers to enhance my listening experience, especially for music and movies. After doing some research, I've narrowed down my choices but would appreciate insights or personal experiences with these models.
Klipsch RP-8000F Floorstanding Speaker - Known for its dynamic range and clarity, the RP-8000F includes dual 8" woofers and a Tractrix horn-loaded tweeter. It seems ideal for both movies and music, providing detailed highs without being too harsh.

Polk Audio T50 150 Watt Home Theater Floor Standing Tower Speaker - This is a more budget-friendly option that still promises good sound quality with its 1" tweeter, 6.5" driver, and two 6.5" bass radiators.

My primary concerns are sound quality (especially at high volumes), durability of build, compatibility with other audio components like receivers or subwoofers, and of course aesthetics since they will be part of my living room decor.
Does anyone acquire first-hand experience with any of these models? How do they perform in real-world settings concerning clarity, bass presence without muddiness, and longevity? Any other models you think should be on this list?
Looking forward to your advice to make an informed decision!
