Ya I'll try that thanks

I think I must have posted in the wrong area,,, that sucks !!!

Oh it's good to know you love them with klipsch ,,thanks for the input. Anyone out there know about the input voltage adjust I'll be running the pre outs from my marantz should it be .25v or 2.5 ??(something like that) and how about the taps ?? They run from 1ohm to 8 and I've heard that the rf83's dip as low as 3.5 ???does one give better sound then another???thanks mike

Hi guys got a chance to pick up a mc7270 just wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit and if it would be a good match for my rf83's i have heard that mac amps are pretty high end and sound great but i don't know much about them ,hoping to gain some knowledge and i know you guys got that !! more questions to follow .thanks mike

Hi guys I know of some people that use something like a lead shot and sand mix in the base of there speakers to make the bass sound better has anyone tried this in any klipsch products and would you recommended it ,I know that with some high end speakers they can come with up to 100 lb of lead in the base of them,, how and why does it help ? ,,I'd be scared that the sand could get into the voice coil or something but then again I don't know much about this and this is why I ask :-) Thanks in advance !

Hi guys I picked up a marantz sr5003 av recever with all the pre outs and all the hd formats this weekend got it home hooked it up(1hr reading 1hr wiring and 1hr adjusting lol ) and WOW !! It was like a match made in heaven I could not beleve my ears it was like I got some new higher end speakers or something then I notice that this amp is capable of bi-amping my fronts so what the hee let's give it a try, no use of letting 2 channels go to waste right (I use 5.1)and ,you gussed it WOW !! LOL I think I'm going to hold off on using seprates till I get my rf-83s as this is all the power the rf82 can safely handle imho.oh ya just to let you know I did hook up the pre outs and they all sounded great big inprovement from my old amp thanks for all your advice guys !

Hi guys just wondering if most of the common av receivers have the same quality pre out signal ,I'm going to be buying a receiver soon, nothing too high end hk,marantz something like that but will definitely be using separate amps in the near future.I know that with my current yahama the quality of the sub out sucks and of coarse It doesn't even have pre outs for fronts,center and rear.I just want to make certain that my next receiver will have quality outs because eventually it will be for decoding only and maybe rears. Thanks in advanced []

Well guys I'm happy to say I have found a rc-62 from a dealer in Toronto for 500cad put my order in and it's coming in a few days man am I ever glad that I found one for a decent price I can't wait to hear what it sounds like.Future shop sells this unit for 745cad LOL !! . I just know it's going to blow that yamaha center away and match nicely with my rf-82s thanks for the help guys and for making me wait and make the right purchse !

Ok now that's making sense of it all thanks deanG and to all ohers

So would you guys say that the new 5.1 Dolby true hd (which only hdmi can carry) is better than the 5.1Dolby digital on the older amps with out hdmi ?.I'm wondering because i have a choice between a new style hk with hdmi 1.3 or an older rotel (higher end,lower distortion,more power) that i can get for cheaper,i know that they are both excellent amps and would probably be happy with either,,i just want the best sounding system possible within my budget [H] Thanks

Hi guy just wondering if someone can explain the advantages of using hdmi over optical i know that hdmi supports the new formats like thx select and 7.1 but are there any sound improvements like when i switched from rca to optical it was like night and day.Im currently using optical with my amp set to Dolby digital amd it sounds as good as this amp will ever sound.Is there anything better then dolby digital in these new amps?,, im looking to upgrade and not to interested in this hdmi in thing(not yet) why mix my video with my sound in the same wire also i will be sticking to 5.1 thanks

I put the spikes in them,,very solid on carpet so the kids can't knock them over

Thanks jimmy now I understand,,man if klipsch had sales people with as much knowledge as some of the people on this web site they would sell five times the amount of products they are selling now,,but they probably couldn't afford you guys! ,,you should see the guys selling klipsch products in Canada for futureshop they have no knowledge at all,,it's like they just started working there yesterday unreal ! I'm just going to hold off and buy the rc62 sounds like the right move .

No such store in Toronto,,man I wish there was maybe I'll take a drive over to buffalo and see if I can get a good price on a rc62 in some US store or something,,, I don't know,, it's kinda hard to find a fair price in Toronto and that's bs.Makes me think I got a good deal on my rf82's 800cad like new off some guy that had them for 1week and had to move he even put them back in the box for me :-).

Hi bill even with the center i have now the voices do not seem out of sink with lip movement at all,but there is defiantly a big change in sound through the front three speakers,, this center i have is just not big enough sounding ! and just thought that the image c60 would do a lot better

Ok now that makes sense ! ,,,so wood you say that the only centers that are a timbre match for the rf82 are the rc52?,62,64?.Is this due two crossover frequency or will no 6 1/2 ever match the timber of the 61/2 in the rc62 and if thats the case then wouldn't a rc 82 (i know they dont make one)be even more perfectly timber mached ?

Hi bill i do have a small center now it's a yamaha with two 3 1/2 's & 1"tweeter it's allmost like it's not there when watching a movie.I hope it's not a silly question but what does match timber wise mean ???. I have heard of a lot of people on this web site not happy with the rc52 rf82 combo that's why I was thinking find a center with two 61/2's. Thank you sir !

Hi guys i own a pair of RF-82 i know that the proper match for them is the RC62 but,,cant find a good deal in Canada, future shop sells the RF52(not the 62) for 570cad.I found a store that is selling the psb c60(two61/2- 1 inch tweet) for 400cad and was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this name brand or model and if this wood be a good match for my rf82 i see the spc sheet and for these and they look good but i dont think they are up there with klipsch. 1 more thing this psb center has front firring ports will this conflict with my rf82 rear firring ports ???? ps;i love my rf82's Thank you []

i think i got a pretty good deal on them too some guy bought them for over 1500CAD used them for one month and then had to sell,,he gave them to me for 800CAD and even put them back in the box s for me but i hear of some guys paying well over 1500 CAD for them what do you guys think? regardless i do think the sound coming out of these things are well worth 800 now i just got to work on a nice center

Ya i love taking things apart to and as long as you put them back together the same or better you wont have any problems it not like you take out a screw and they blow up or anything,,anyway i found a way to satisfy myself (lol) i just stuck my hand in through the back port with my camera and stared snapping away i must say i am impressed with all the components,,speaker magnet,wiring,insulation,crossover is all top quality i will post the pics as soon as i learn how to do so,,, thanks guys !!!

Relax I have not opened them! ,,come on guys can someone please explain why there is no pics of the raw cerametallic woofers ??? And why can't you find real specs like 50oz magnets??1inch voice coils??? How about this internal wiring???.All I'm saying is that if I was klipch I would show all and be proud !!! This is a bit of bs oh ya I might still open them up and see what's realy inside :-)ps. I love these speakers and thank you for your feedback.

hi guys Im new to this site and to my brand new rf-82s I realy want to see what's inside the box. Anyone with pics of raw woofers, tweeters,wiring,something please I have looked everywhere and can't find I pic of the back of my woofer it's driving me crazy man. Please post all pics and if nobody has any I'm opening these bad boys up for all to see. Ps I love these spekers,wouldn't trade them for,,,,well maybe rf-83 :-) Thanks guys
