Sounds excellent guys, I'll do that - Stick with this setup, and if need be, move up later on. I'm just glad nothing sounds too out of the ordinary. Thanks again gents - Can't wait to get some pictures up when we complete the basement. Cheers,

If I knew it was going to be so tedius... I've read quite a bit, but have yet to find anything which covers my situation.Ok, so I finally ended up not getting the rf-83s right now, and went with RC-64 (I know it won't be a perfect match, but I figured the centre is exceptionally important), 2 rf-82s for the front, 2 rf-82s for the rears, and hsu vtf-3 mk3 for the sub. Again, I have the Onkyo 906 for the receiver.Now I have to set up my Samsung dlp 67" to set up, and time seems to be moving at light speed now-a-days - Not enough time in a day!My question is; are the rf-82s good enough for the rear for a complete fill? Or should I get any surrounds e.g. the rs-52s to replace the rears, or should I add rs-52s to the mix in the middle. I guess what I'm trying to accomplish, is having a 5.1 system, but with the option of having a 7.1 in the future, however, if the surrounds are over kill with the 82s in front and rear, then I will forget about the surrounds.My area is approximately 11.5' by 30, but might consider shortening the length. Cheers,

Ok so here goes... I went back to with my van filled with the returns. I ended up talking to the manager, whom apparently suggested I go with 4 rf-82s. He said he has six (2fronts, 2sides, and 2rears). He says due to his large space he prefers the 82s at the sides rather than normal surrounds? In-addition he also said he has heared listened to both the 82s and 83s, and He couldn't really tell them apart, other than the 83s have a little more bass, but for the price difference, it's not worth it... The price he offered for 4 rf-82s were $2100.00 - Normally 4 it would be $2999.96 (This is Canadian) Now I know he is trying to sell a product, butI have to look at the fact that he did offer me a really great reduction in price for the 82s...Any thoughts??? Ok now I am starting to pull my hair out (if I wasn't bald) So would you guys suggest me going with 4 rf-82s, (rs-52s or rs-62s) surrounds, or no surrounds, and the rc-62, in-addition to a good sub? Or is it best to remain with my original change and go with the rf-83s for fronts, rs-62s, and rc-64 and a good sub? Going with the rf-82s would save quite a bit of money, but that's not so much of a concern as it is with the choice of speakers. My area is approx 12' wide and our length is quite long at this time, till I put up a new wall. I was considering making the length between 20-25feet. Thanks again lads...

Well I have to say, you guys are remarkable for your quick responses, along with invoking thought. I really appreciate it! So here’s what happened; I'm a car hauler in BC Canada, and I'm on the road right now - So I went over with my fiancé, your comments and recommendations, and to my surprise, she said "Well I have to have more bass, in addition, it's better we make the investment now for the right things. Here I am, trying to save money and not spending too much, and she’s like "it didn't have enough bass for her." I'm really bug eyed right now, as I can't understand how my lady thinks all the time! But that's ok - It's all about love! Anyhow, I think I am going to return the items back to future shop, and purchase the Rf-83s, the Rc-64, and the Rs-62 - To save some money, as much as it was recommended (and I appreciate it) I will hold off from the Rt-12 for now. From what I've been reading, the Rf-83 will have more than enough bass for our area. I'll just keep an eye out for one (Rt-12) going for a great deal. I'm assuming this should be ok... Again guys/gals, thanks for your time and support. Cheers

Hi folks, I purchased the Onkyo 876 for a receiver - Might be a bit over kill, but I like the thing... I'm stuck with my 50" plasma for now, but considering a 65" DLP or projector And for the speakers, Klipsch RF-82 tower speakers, RC-52 centre channel, RS-42 surround rear speakers, and the RW-10D subwoofer - All from future shop Am I on the right track?This is mainly for the home HT, but I intend to listen to a lot of music as well. My taste in music is very diverse - From Eric Clapton (which includes lots of acoustic guitars) to smooth reggae music or even.”Soaring, husky baritone type music," like that of Seal. I'm not partial to heavy rock.I would really appreciate any constructive criticism with this setup. Should I spend a bit more and get the rf-83s? I like the clarity of these (Klipsch) speakers, but I keep hearing they Klipsch tend to lack in the lower end (bass) and considering I do listen to reggae, this might pose a problem. Thanks in-advance for your time. I look forward in sharing my pictures and experiences with you guys
