Neither Klipsch RP-280FA nor Klipsch RP-8060FA were recommended by experts this month

On 5 Mar 2024 (23 days ago) we went through 82 Speakers expert endorsements , however neither Klipsch RP-280FA nor Klipsch RP-8060FA were included in any of those recommendations. Since neither Speakers received a single endorsement, as far as expert recommendations go, it's technically a tie. We do, however, recommend taking a look at Sony SSCS3 or other critically acclaimed Floorstanding Speakers of this month.

For reference, Sony SSCS3 received 5 endorsements this month, from BestReviews (1 Jul 2023), Gadget Review (14 Nov 2023) ZD Net (1 Jun 2023) and 2 others.
