I love the Pioneer SB22, hate almost all Klipsch murder horns.
Having said that....A number of people I know like Klipsch in HT settings. Speaker sound changes on location, use, etc. I would not use them in a 2.0 setting, but in a HT? Possibly
I can't speak to the R-41 but have had the RB-41ii which I used as surrounds and also computer speakers. They were easy to drive, played louder with less amp. I liked their sound, in both applications, especially for the cost. In my experience, with a variety of NHT, Klipsch, KEF speakers I've owned, room characteristics matters more than speakers.
I guess I'm surprised (and pleased) that a pair of speakers that sell for $99 on Black Friday even warrant this level of scrutiny.
I've been contemplating a set of forever speakers like the ATC SCM40s, would love to see objective testing confirming the cost benefit with a big investment but realize that's a much smaller audience to attract with a site like this.
