    Will 77" tv with 30kg be fine on top of rc64ii ?

    The rc64 is very big and I have no where else to put it.

    I had an 80lbs plasma TV sitting on my RC-64 for for quite some time with no ill effects.  Maybe cut a piece of neoprene to protect between the stand and the wood veneer.

     

    A 77" LG OLED is about 80lbs also so you should be just fine.

    Power for rp-280f

    in General Klipsch Info

    @Knightstick,

     

    Welcome to the forum.

     

    As asked in many other threads.

     

    How large is your room?

    How far is your main listening position?

    What volumes do you listen to?

     

    Before the exacts are known, the RP-280F are very efficient and do not "need" a super high current amp to drive them, so both of your choices appear to be okay.

     

    With that said, a quality 80w/ch SS amp should thump those 8" woofers.

    Connecting A Subwoofer Via the LFE Input

    in Subwoofers

    Posted

    If the integrated amp has a fixed LPF at 90Hz via the subwoofer output RCA, then I think you are stuck with that.  If your subwoofer has speaker terminals, you could bypass the integrated amps LPF by connecting to subwoofer via speaker level.

     

    How about getting an integrated amp with L/R preouts and connect to your subwoofers inputs/s that way.  I do that with my Yamaha A-S1000, RSW-10d(when it worked), and RB-75s and with a subwoofer LPF at 60Hz and the results are seamless integration.  Tried it with my Heresy IIs and got the same results.

    Centers for Fronts?

    I guess, this is/was a singular feature of a first class center like the RC7, or are any other centers capable of rotating their horns?

    None of the horns can be rotated after the Reference II series.  Reference III(RC-35, RC-25, etc.) was the beginning of the fixed horn.

     

    RC-7, RC-35, RC-62 in order left to right.

    I don't not see a reason not to try.  Some folks on this forum use and have used RC-7s as front speakers and are very pleased with the results.  One difference is that the RC-7's horns can be rotated one quarter turn so the speakers can be placed vertically.  The RC-62s have a fixed horn so they would be best placed horizontally.

    RB 75

    in General Klipsch Info

    The 75s are really a special pair of speakers.  Big sound for “bookshelf” speakers.  They image very well and produce tight thundering bass into the high 40hz range.  With a well integrated subwoofer/s, you get midsize/large  floor standing speaker performance that will sure rival the RF-5s.

    Center Channel to match RP-6000F

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    @Mr.Tonos,

     

    Welcome to the forum.

     

    My suggestion in order.

    1. 504C

    2. 600C

    3. 404C

     

    The reason I suggest the RP-600C over the RP404C is that I once had an RC-62 mated to my RF-63s and it did an admirable job keeping up.  Not the way it's eventual replacement RC-64 did but still a decent job.  I am just not a fan of 4" drivers as midrange/bass combo drivers.  Others may have different opinions.

    Can someone help me find amplifier for RP-600M?

    I will play with the sub crossover and dial it in just right. I think the 600s stop at 45 but that is wild to me I cant imagine only having the sub playing 45 and below. Ill do whatever sounds best but maybe the sub can play up to 60 or so like you said and they can share the 45-60 range.

    I am sure you can get them to blend pretty well.

    I have another concern that has come up in my research. As far as I understand there is no bass management or crossover handling with these 2 receivers. Since I am buying a sub, should I get a receiver that allows me to set crossover where the speakers arent wasting energy playing the low frequencies that the sub is taking care of? I can set the crossover on the sub, but as far as I know no way to set the crossover to where the Klipsch isn't playing the lower stuff. Or will it not really matter as long as I have plenty of power with amp?

    The RP-600s will only play so deep so just set the LPF on the subwoofer to about 1/2 octave above the RP-600s -3dB lower frequency and you should be good to go.

     

    When my Klipsch RSW-10d subwoofer was operating, I set it's LPF to 60Hz to supplement my RB-75s and the integration was seamless, just about perfect.

    Hey Bill,

     

    Would I be able to save the 200 and get the A-S301? It is rated for 65/watts per channel but the folks over at crutchfield are saying I wouldn't notice any difference with the 501 since the 301 is more than enough power. Is that accurate? I would get the 501 if I will notice a good difference with the extra power. 

    I sure you will be fine with the 301 unless you blast in a large room.

    Integra receivers?

    in Home Theater

    Posted

    I have owned my Onkyo TX-SR705(same as Integra DTR-6.8) since 2007 and it has been rock solid trouble free all these years.  The DTR-5.8 is same as Onkyo TX-SR605.  Not a whole lot of differences between the Integra and Onkyo versions except for Integra being more custom installer friendly.  Though I have never owned an Integra AVR, I have owned their flagship universal player(non BD) and network stereo receiver and they have been wonderful pieces of gear.

    I am unfortunately about to liquidate some speakers/gear.

     

    I am in Kissimmee/Saint Cloud and have a pair of birch raw Heresys I can let go.  I do have Heresy 2s in walnut oil with cane grills I might part with.

     

    Thanks,

    Bill
