wow, thanks guys for all the great tips. I plan to use the speaker for a while and then see if i want a sub. also for the amps, I will try to see if there is any local used ones to start with. but the McIntosh ones are really tempting. hahaha thanks again guys!

thanks a lot for the advice! I just ordered my 83s in cherry. I will see if I can live without the sub for now. The shipping for those heavy amps is bit of a issue here.

nobody?!

I am a newbie here. So pardon me for the stupidity of the questions if there is any. My frist Klipsch was a pair of F3s. I fell in love with Klipsch since then. I plan to get a pair of RF-83 for 2-channel audio (FM, XM, and CDs). and I listen to classic music most of the times, maybe a little bit of rock and jazz. I am not going to use the speakers for HT in then near future since I do not really watch TV. I have the following questions: 1, should I use a subwoofer? my friend told me the woofer is really for movie and hip pops, which I am not going to. 2, what kind of setup should I use on the amp. part? I am looking at Yamaha RX-Z9 on ebay for about $1400(but I will waste the resource of other channels since I only use 2), or should I use some good 2-channel amps for the same amount of cash. 3, has anyone here use McIntosh MC252 or MC352 on RF-83s? are they good match? and which one is better since the price difference is not significant. 4, what do you guys think of the color? I really like cherry finish on my F3 but I am not sure for some big speakers like RF-83s, cherry will be a good choice? Thanks a lot! Roy
