  1. I was actually going to sell the F-3's and buy the RF 82's. I listened to the 82's multiple times but each time enjoyed the sound from the F-3's better. Again this is just my opinion with my ears but I really enjoy the Yamaha and the F-3's. Rocko
  2. I have the F-3's, C-3 and Sub 12. Not sure if Yamaha is avaiable where you are but the RX-V661 powers what I have very well. I would suggest going with the RX-V663 at this point. I see those around in your price range. Of course this is just my opinion. Good luck. -Rocko
  3. Welcome goombatommy I have the F-3, C-3 and Sub-12. Let me tell you they rock the house. Most of my listening is for home theater and they sound great. I got a great deal on all my speakers but decided I would check out the RF-82's. I couldn't justify spending the money on the RF's as the sound (at least to me) were so close. But that's just my opinion. Good luck! Rocko
  4. Another one of those great Klipsch signs that I can't find anywhere![*-)] Great job on the trim it looks awesome. Rocko
  5. I pretty much went the same route as you with the Quintets and now have the F-3's, C-3 and SUB-12. I can 120% say the SUB-12 POUNDS. It shakes the floor when I watch movies and sounds great for music as well. By the way, don't let anyone persuade you from buying the F-3's. I went to hear the RF-82 because I wanted to "upgrade" to me there was such a minimal (if any) difference it wasn't worth spending the extra money. However you may want to look into a new reciever IMO. Rocko
  6. I picked them up for $150 for the pair so I'm not too worried because they still sound great. So are they that delicate or is it a design flaw?
  7. I was hoping some would could help me out. I bought a nice pair of RF-3 II's and they sound great. One of the things I noticed was the 1 cone on each speaker has a slight crinkle in it. As I started looking around at more pictures of others RF-3's I noticed a similer issue. Does anyone know what this may be caused by? Thank you, Rocko
  8. Well the RF-5's are in my budget, the Wife likes the cherry color of them and I have suck a small space to work with and no other options of moving things around. "Oh and as of right now (due to space and the wife) the Heritage line in not able to be considered."
  9. Lol, I probably deserve that. I get some funny looks up here in Boston when I listen to country.
  10. Room size = very small. I only have one place to set up the speakers and they are only 6 feet apart at best. Mostly to watch movies and listen to country music. Lol and what's a frequency response? I'm basically just trying to figure out if the RF-5 would be an up grade from my F-3's
  11. Hello, Well I'm still trying to figure out what I'd like and what my Wife will let me get away with in our tiny living room. With that said I currently have the F-3's. I was looking into some RF-5's and just wondering if anyone could offer any opinions? Oh and as of right now (due to space and the wife) the Heritage line in not able to be considered. Thanks as always, Rocko
  12. The ad was reposted and updted with some "extra" info http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/720742961.html "Mr. Klipsch was traveling the country during the late 60's and came to this house to aid the employees of "The Music Box", a store in Wellesley, Ma where the speakers were purchased, in determining if a third or fourth speaker were needed for this very large living room. He moved the speakers around and measured, and spent a good amount of time fixing the speakers placement." I suppose if it's true that's really cool. Rocko
  13. I just got a kick out of the ad. Not really sure what Mr. Klipsch would be doing up here in the Boston area installing speakes in a home? Rocko
  14. Just saw this on my local CL and found it kind of interesting. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/715454308.html
  15. There are some H-II's converted to H-III's on CL fairly close to me for $650. I kind of had those in mind. My wife is less than excited about the look of the F-3's in our living room. With the room only being 14X14 (there are half walls on either side that open into our dinning room of the same size) it's a little tight. I'm more or less buying for the future at this point, as the kids are on the way and I'm sure will need some extra room sonner than later.
  16. I live in the Boston area. How about the Heresy II or III would that make a good HT front speakers?
  17. Ok so now you guys have me really thinking (and looking) about the Forte. Being fairly new to the HT stuff I'm going to throw out a rookie question and take my beating on the chin. Will I need a seperate sub with the Forte? Also when I decide to expand what would be the best match for surrond speakers and center channel? Thanks, Rocko
  18. Thanks BobG. Very good point. I was looking in the $500 area for the RF-35's & RC-35. Just wasn't sure if it was worth it soundwise.
  19. Yes, I'll be able to test them out. It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me one way. So I want to make sure it would be worth it.
  20. I currently have the Synergy F-3's, S-3's and Sub-12. I have an opportunity to buy used RF-35 and RC-35 for a good price. I'm looking for some opinions on if it would be worth it? I really enjoy my F-3's but know the Reference line is very highly regarded. Thank you, Rocko
  21. I currently have the F-3's and have been looking to add a C-3 to the mix. Recently found a C-2 for a good price on Ebay. $94.00 shipped. So my question is am I better off waiting for the C-3 or should I take a shot at the C-2? Thanks, Rocko
  22. Thanks Amy! Klipsch has never let me down so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
  23. Well I tried the store customer service, with no luck. I was told everything was posted online and they were not going to be getting anymore signs [] Looks like I'm out of luck unless one pops up on Ebay.
  24. Thanks billybob! Does Klipsch generally have things that they don't list in the store?
  25. Thanks, I already have the Klipsch plate from the store. Yes I have the Klipsch F-3's, S-3's and Sub 12. Looking for a C-3 to complete my collection.
