oops [:$] yeah, shouldve read before i spoke... sweet looking setup though. hidden components are always slick

im actually looking at a similar setup. how do you like the RB-61's? how are they for music, nice and strong? what sub are you uysing? i already have an RC-52, and i was going to get the RF-52's, but my resolution is to be more logical with how i spend my funds, and my aptartments family/dining room is about 18'X12', so as much as i want nice tower speakers, i really dont need them. thus im going with the RB-61's sorry to hijack the thread, its just that i plan on having a similar system, and it seems like you are looking for the same, so some more info should be useful to all of us

haha thanks! ill keep that in mind. and im glad youve got your priorities in line! speakers always come first []

hey thanks for all the feedbakc everyone! bad new though: i rent. drilling and wall mounting will probably be out of the question but thanks for the good words about the speakers! ive heard the RF-52's and 62's, which i loved. but im still a little worried about the RB-61's not having quite as full sound

haha thats true.yeah i was worried about the tipping, as well as looking find of funny yeah ive briefly looked into those other two. the main problem is there arent too many places where i can see them in person, or even get pictures of the stands in use any help here?? []

thats a good point. i was trying to get the speakers to be the same height as my old towes im replacing, but the tweeters on those arent really at ear level. i dont think ill want much taller than a 24" though. it would just kind of look silly if you ask me. and i know thats not a good reason to choose what i get, but thats just kind of how i think. is sanus not a good brand? they look pretty nice and a really nice theater store by me carries their stuff....

hey all, i was originally going to get a pair of RF-52's, i already own an RC-52, but now due to room size, and new budget [:$] i will be getting a pair of RB-61's. so ive got a simple question: whats a good stand? and stand height? i was thinking about getting a set 24"sanus stands.amy feedback, advice, models would be great. and anyone with pics of their reference series bookshelfs on stands would be great! thanks sanus' im considering: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/306883-REG/Sanus_NF24B_24_Black_Lacquered_Speaker.html (side note: i will be getting the speakers in black, and would like sold black stands)

thanks, but i really dont have the layout for surrounds right now. and i relaly need to replace my recevier and fronts first. but hte sub is tempting.... but itll be a while. when im ready to buy, ill let you know. but dont hold onto it just for me

hopefully i get this right. ill try to post a pic of my current family room. in this pic the tower are VERY close together, but that was right after i moved around my furniture, but it was before i moved the speakers. after measuring and drawing things out, im sorry to say that my fronts will onyl be able to be about 6 1/2ft apart. you can BARELY see the sub that is next to the lamp on the right, on the other side of the lovesac. i moved the sub to the other side of the TV, by the stools, under the 'college' picture. just thought since i could give a visual, it wouldnt hurt. one thing ive been wondering is if i get the RF-52's, they could be (centered with the tv) with the right speaker in front of that outlet on the right, and the left the same distance, and then the sub would just get pushed over farther so, any other thoughts? and again, any thoughts on just picking up the RF-52's and bi-amping? can you bi-amp the bookshelfs?

thanks for the replys everybody! i guess thats a really good point about not needing both a dvd and cd player. man, this forum is great. saving me money already! in response to falcon, i guess i worded my first post wrong. when i said i wasnt replacing the tv 'anytime soon' i meant not with this big upgrade. my goal here is to be able to replace any single component/piece of my system, and not be forced to upgrade others to make everything work to its full potential. so although my tv now does not have HDMI, i would like to get a receiver/dvd player that does, so when i do get a new tv, im not SOL and james, although that is entirely true, my room is small. the 62's would be the biggest i could go without looking silly. and that's a single, 22 year old guy's idea of silly. plus, my other main hobby is aquariums, and thats a never-ending hobby, so all my money will go straight back to that haha [] i have a few questions about the fronts. first off, im sorry, but please explain timber a bit more. ive tried to figure it out from other posts, and hte best i can come up with is the "design" of the speaker... and although the RC-52 is supposed to match the RF-52's, the RC-62 is matched to both the RF-62's and the RF-82's. seeing as thats a lager front increase, i figured since this will be used constantly for music, i would be ok going up a size for the fronts. but i do liek the RF-52's a lot, so ill probably stick with those. also, what about the bookshelfs? although i like the floorstanders (sorry, i know this makes me sound like im five, but their big and thats cool), but is the as solid sound in the bookshelfs? and would i be ok getting the RB-62's? the RB-52's seem like they might be a little small. my current sub is a 100W sony, which will be the LAST thing i upgrade, so i would like to have nice strong sound without needing a sub. and one final thought: i want to have strong 2-channel sound. having the 52's match the 52's is a good point, which i kind of knew in the bakc of my mind, i just wanted a few more opinions before i buy something i regret. but anyway, what im trying to ask is can i get some nice, full sound by bi-amping my RF-52's instead of just getting the 62's. the sony 820 is 110W per channel in stereo. would runnign 220W through them be an ok limit? i know Klipsch says the handle 400W, but i just want to make sure thanks again for all the info and advice! sorry, im kind of new at this. ive always that home theater/home audio is cool, but im just now at the financial and logical point in my life where i can really start to get some solid equipment. just an FYI, im replacing some old Sony floorstanders, a pair of SS-MF400H's. and although their not amazing by any means, i did get them in 8th grade with my lawn mowing and confirmation money, so at the time they were the coolest thing i could ever ask for. i figure since that was... about 8 years ago, i can stop keeping them on the sole fact that i bought them myself at such a young age haha

oops. tv DOES hav component vdeo, but no HDMI. sorry

hey all, first post here, and let me just say i am new to Klipsch porducts but LOVE the sound. but lets not waste any time and get to the fun part [] room info: 12' X 19' (family/dining room in my apartment) unfortunately, beause of room layout/furniture, i really dont have a way to hook up surrounds for 5.1 or 7.1 (i rent, so i cant cut holes in walls either) the only thing ive already bought is an RC-52, which i am very pleased with. my current TV is a 26in Sharp LCD with no component video, but no HDMI. i know a few of you will grind their teeth over this, but i dont intend on replacing it any time soon. its good for the room size, and im honestly so much more into the audio aspect. i narrowed down my choices on new stuff, so now comes the opinions and advice mains: RF-52's or RF-62's. i heard both, and i know the 62's have dual ports and bigger woofers, but i dont really think the extra cash is worth. my room is rather smal, and i have have neighbors to the left, right, and above receiver: Sony STR-DG820or Denon AVR-689 a supplier for my company carries limited Denon products, and the 689 is $325 from them. bhphotovideo has the 820 for $295 DVD: Sony DVP-NC800H or Denon DVD-588. both have HDMI, Sony is 1080p upscaling. anyone know about the Denon? (again, similarly priced for me) CD Player: Sony SCD-CE595 or Denon DCM-29. Both are 5-disc, but the Sony is also an SACD player (but ill admit i own no SACD's) Subwoofer: most likey the RW-10d. i would love to get the12d, but thats a big price difference, and as it is, everything is already at the top of my budget my main goal is to get equipment that i can be happy with for the next 5-7+ years. i dont want to replace anything any time soon the good new is all of my current equipment works OK, but there are a few things lacking: -receiver is non-screw-down speaker connects (sorry for the lack of proper terms), no HDMI, only 5.1, no bi-amp, no front input -cd player wont play all burned CD', takes it's sweet time on others -dvd player is single disc (which is why im leanign away from the denon), no HDMI so i gueas what im aksing is... is the Denon worth the extra bills? im not 100% sure if i can get a multi-disc DVD (or any CD player) from them im not trying to sound cheap, but price is a big factor here also, two other things: im a total label-freak, so i would really like ot have all matching equipment. i know its silly, but thats just how i am. and the system will be used mostly for music. comments/concerns/opinions/advice (positive, negaive, and blunt) are all welcomed sorry for the wordy post, i just figured i should get all the basics out of the way. ill be happy to answer any questions. thanks!
