Yes both speakers horns are 90x60 degrees but may not have the same dimensions. The outer horn in my RF-63's is 6 1/8 inches while the RC-62's outer horn is 5 7/8 inches. That would make them seem impossible to exchange out. Bill

Hold back on buying the sub. Hook up the Velo with your new Klipsch speakers and listen. Then decide if to change subs. Remember Velodyne only manufactures subs. Even though the RW-12d is a nice mid priced sub, I don't think it is much of an upgrade if any at all even though it has more wattage. Just my opinion. Bill

Welcome to the forum. That system choice with the Denon will sound great. Should you step up to the 63's or 83's? If you can afford to spend twice as much to step up, then go for it. In today's economy and it's uncertainty, I would buy the best you can afford with some emergency $$$'s tucked away for hard times. With all that said, the RF-62 system will rock a room of that size. Enjoy. Bill

Try the settings at 60hz for the 83's and 70hz for the 64's. A sub is not designed to reach to such high frequencies(200hz). Let the 83's stretch their beefy legs a bit and set the sub to handle the low lows. Play around a bit but don't stress the sub by asking it to handle the upper bass(120hz--200hz). Bill

Take a look at this review. You can't go wrong with the RF-52 system. Great bang for the buck. http://www.avguide.com/review/klipsch-rf-52-51-channel-speaker-system Bill

First, welcome to the forum. The answer is no. I have the RC-62 with a pair of RF-63's and it keeps up okay but there is a slight tonal difference. I know the RC-64 would be perfect but for now the 62 will suffice for me. The RC-52 might be a disaster. Build a shelf above the TV and buy the 64. Tilted down you will avoid any coffee table interference. The 62 will work if you have an untrained ear but the 52 doesn't stand a chance. I hope your buddy gave you a good deal on the 63's so you have enough $$$ to buy the 64. Do it right the first time. Bill

Finally got home and thoroughly dusted off the KG4's and cleaned the finish with some Formby's Lemon oil cleaner. Wow, what a difference. Brought that walnut oil finish right back to life. Then I hooked them up to my Onkyo and B&K amp and switched the setting to direct without the sub and put on a cd of classical guitar called "Celtic Moods" by Brad Prevedoros. Wow again. Plenty of bass and really precise acoustic guitar sound. I use this cd as a reference for all new configurations. I really believe I scored a great pair of speakers for $150.00. No cracks or dents on woofers or surrounds. Only minor knicks(tiny splintering)on the edges that I took care of with a furniture touch up marker. I'll post pictures soon. Bill

I think what Wuzzer was referring to was like I suggested the 905 for less than $900.00. Refirbished doesn't mean bad, it means usually that a certified technition has checked it out thouroughly and repaired if needed and given it an all go for consumer purchase. Most of the time it will be equipped with the most recent firmware update.Bill

Hey Youth, I bought a pair at Sound Advice($250.00/pair) right before I found my RF-63's. I had them about three weeks before I returned them. Returning them was the only way my wife would give her blessing to get the 63's. I had them set up with the RC-62 and they sounded great. Even as a 2 channel setup with or without the sub they rocked. I really tried to convince her to let me keep them. I knew SA would eventually run out of 35's if they kept that sale on. They did not long after I returned them. My loss. Bill

One question not asked, do you have the 64 tilted so that the horn is aiming directly toward your ears while in seating position? If not, this could be the problem. Bill

I would consider the 905 over the 876. All the same bells and whistles plus networking capabilities. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXNR905/Onkyo/-TX-NR905-THX-Ultra2-140w-x-7ch-HDMI-Receiver-BLACK/1.html http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXSR875/Onkyo/TX-SR875-THX-Ultra2-140w-x-7ch-HDMI-Receiver-BLACK/1.html Bill

Welcome to the forum. No you don't need an amp to achieve your goal. With that said, an amp would better help you achieve your goal. I believe the amp section of your Yamaha is plenty powerfull enough to drive your whole setup with plenty of bass. I currently am using my Onkyo 705(100w) with a B&K Reference 3 channel(200w) powering the fronts and center and the Onkyo's amps driving the surrounds. I have the crossover in my sub set to off and am using the receiver's crossovers. I have the RF-63's set at 60hz and the RC-62 set at 70hz. The 63's are pulled away from front corners about 12 inches and toed in about 30 degrees. After hours of testing, these settings have yielded the most and cleanest bass from my system. Remember room acoustics play just as an important role in overrall sound as your equipment. In closing, when I have used only the Onkyo powering the fronts(set to large) and without a sub, the RF-63's have really held their own in the bass department. Clean and loud. Using the sub just helps mesh everthing together better and takes some strain off your receiver and your 63's bass drivers. Bill

Thanks alot for all the comments. I am on a mini vacation and they are still sitting in the trunk of our car. When I do get them home I am not sure if I will hook them up to to my Adcom/B&K setup or hook them up to my Onkyo's zone 2. Bill

I posted this in another section. Any opinions on 2 channel sound quality of the KG4's? I am about to go look at a pair for sale for $150.00. Good price or bad price? Any response appreciated. Thanks, Bill

If you are willing to step it up a little, here is a great deal on the 905. They are an authorized Onkyo factory dealer. http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/ONKTXNR905/Onkyo/-TX-NR905-THX-Ultra2-140w-x-7ch-HDMI-Receiver-BLACK/1.html Bill

First, $899.99 for the 905 is a steal. Second, here is a neat little fan I bought to help cool my 705. It dropped the running temp about 15 to 20 degrees F. http://www.buyextras.com/evavcoblfanf.html Bill

Welcome to the forum. These are what I used to hang my RSX-4's. They work great. Bill

I am not 100% sure but I think the 905 and the 9.8 have all the same processing chips and DACS. I would get the 905 and listen first, then if not completely satisfied with the amp section, buy a two or three channel amp with more wattage and go from there. Bill

Great choice for that size room. It will emerse you in great sound. As I replyed to your post on the AVS Forum, the RSX-4's will work well with your system. Again, buy the RS-42's if you can afford them. Bill

It is twice as heavy. Beefier power supply,amps, DACS,more connections,pre-outs, etc. Bill

I have an RSW-10d being used in a 2-channel setup and HT duties. With music it really compliments my RF-63's. With HT this little sub walks accross my tile floor and shakes the windows in my family room(16ft X 30ft w/12ft ceilings). Even with the area tiled throughout, it doesn't sound boomy and really fills the space with consistant bass. My sub experience is limited with only haved owned a SUB10,RW-10d, and an RSW-10d(all 10 inchers). Bill

If you can find a pair of RF-7's or RB-75's I say buy them. Perfect match. Either receiver is a good choice but if $$$ is not an issue, the 906 is a better choice. Top of the line Onkyo with beefier power supply, amps and DAC's. Bill

Welcome. 8.5"H x 5.5"W x 6.5"deep. All measurements taken at the highest,widest, and deepest points with a +/- 1/8" margin of error. Bill

I could be wrong but I do not think the 606 has pre-outs for an amp. Bill
