  1. Thanks for the plugs fellas!! PM sent back Chris.

    Looks like I need to read up on how to post pics again. Keeps telling me " upload failed". Will do some research and post pics ASAP.

  2. Yeah, this has been happening a lot here as well. There is a klipsch "flipper" just down freeway from me who must scan craigslist all day long. I've been trying to slowly build back my system since my divorce. There was a mint pair of cherry RF-5's for $400 ( his asking price, but I'm sure he sold them for less) and I called within 30 minutes and they were already sold. A short time later, they were listed on this forum:-( That wasn't the first time the "flipper" beat me out on a good deal only to re-sell them. Almost everything he sells here has been bought on craigslist to be flipped. I gave up after he bought the RF-5's.

  3. Thnx for the info! I'll know more in the next day or so. But anyone interested should really jump on this before I do! Would definitely want/ need double box, so the first shipping quote more prob more accurate.

  4. I JUST went through the same situation. I have RF-5's as my mains so keep that in mind.

    I first purchased a RC-62 to see how it would match up with my mains. To my suprise, it sounded great! Fit perfectly in my TV stand and blended very well. Then, I found a great deal on a RC-64 ( first version) and decided to sell my 62 and give the 64 a try. I figured I was upgrading since it was a much larger speaker and cost alot more. At first, it sounded absolutely horrible! Then I noticed that one of the jumpers on the back was off, so I figured once that was fixed it would sound much better. I still wasn't very happy and didn't consider this an upgrade. After a month or two of TRYING to like it, I decided to sell it and buy a RC-62 II. To me, this is an upgrade. I'm VERY happy with it and do not plan on upgrading anytime soon. Maybe my ears aren't used to "sealed" speakers. It just sounds more detailed, has better clarity and doesn't sound "muffled".

    Of course this is just my opinion and you may LOVE the 64. Just wanted to share my thoughts. Good luck

  5. I set everything too large to reduce the amount of mid bass content to my subs. Movie content doesn’t have super low frequency content to any of the speakers anyways so by setting your speakers to small (at say80hz) your only really redirecting frequencies in the 50hz-80hz range . To me adding all that extra mid bass to your sub makes it sound boomy. I see it on my screen with the sms-1 eq it runs its tone out of all the speakers not just the subs so I can see what is really happing. I totally understand all the logic of it and there are arguments to support both sides. But if you crossover your fronts at say 40hz you’re not changing anything because there is no content below that on the movie to the fronts anyways so what are you crossing over? If you crossover your surrounds at 50 Hz you’re not changing anything because movies don’t have content to the rears below 50 Hz. I run only lfe content to the subs and imo that’s when they sound there best. All my speakers can handle 50 Hz and up pretty easily.

    I have spent many many hours reading both sides and have kept an open mind to both ways. I ran my stuff set too small for a long time. But after having a long conversation with a SVS tech guy he explained that sound engineers who make movies don’t put low content into these speakers so the change is small and in fact if you crossover to high at say 80hz you can end up with too much mid bass going to your sub. Make sense?

    Exactly, well said!

  6. Those are some awesome prices! I just bought the UMC a few months ago and love it. I have no bugs at all with mine using HDMI connections. At $499 it's a steal! Thinking about getting one for my bedroom buddy Daryl!

    That's mighty nice of you Vital. I'll let you know when it arrives[Y]
