  1. I am powering my RF- 62 fronts, RC-52 center, and rb-10 rear speakers with a Yamaha RX-V1800. I do no have a subwoofer, and my couch is on a backwall in the small bedroom I have this set up in. If I set my bass out through my receiver to go to my front speakers, and I set my frequency cut off to 100hz, will that then send everything lower than that to the front speakers? Also, what is proper position of RF 62 speakers, as well as rear speakers? Any advice/helped appreciated. I seem to notice the rears sound much better with the tweeter aimed at my ear, but I remember reading they should not be aimed at the listener.
  2. Hey all, I have seen some posts of people who have refinished there vintage Klipsch speakers to look very nice. I was wondering if anyone has seen, or has actually done themselves a refinishing of the Klipsch black rf-62 speakers, or any speakers in the the reference series line that are black. If so, what did they use to "sand them down" and get off the black lauqer and etc.... Thanks all!
  3. can't really do a seperate amp because of the WAF. wish I could. Well what should I do, marantz? denon? pioneer? yamaha? hard to say.
  4. I currently have 2 RF-62's, RC-52 center, RW-12d subwoofer, and some bipolar definitive technology rears. I am powering this with a Yamaha rx-v 663. I am looking to possibly upgrade the receiver. I have a chance to get a Yamaha rx-v 1900 for a good price, and I am wondering if I would notice any better sound quality. I work at a home theater shop, and we always listen to music on receivers at or around this quality. My vocals at home (for 2 channel) seem muffled and unclear. It is never like this in the show rooms at work, but how much of this has to do with the receiver, as opposed to the properly set up room? I would say I do 80% movies, 20% music, however music is what I am really displeased with on the 663. BOTTOM LINE - If I upgrade from the Yamaha rx-v 663 to the rx-1900 would there big a noticable difference for music and movies?
  5. I am considering bi amping my rf-62's what would the pros be and what would the cons be? are there any cons? thanks
  6. wonder what the difference between this and the 6001 is, those are going real cheap.
  7. Hey all, I have the rf-62's w/ rc-52 center and rw-12d subwoofer. I am currently powering them with the yamaha 663 receiver (and by the way i finally found a sound i really enjoy). I am now looking to set up a bedroom system and am considering using the 663 for my bedroom, and upgrading my living room receiver. Has anyone used the pioneer elite sc- 05 or 03? what else is recommended?
  8. As many of you know I have 2 klipsch rf-62's, rc-52 center, rw-12 sub, all powered by yamaha 663. Well now I am looking into a system for my bedroom, and will probably upgrade my 663 in my living room, and put it in my bedroom. I am looking to spend max $500. I do not mind buying used. I would like uncompressed audio, any brands will be considered. Right now I am looking at the pioneer sc-03, and sc-05, and also the yamaha 863. What do you guys recommend? thanks
  9. I am looking at the entry level speakercraft mtone's in wall speakers. I was wondering if there is a Klipsch in wall speaker in that same price range ($300 - $400). Not looking for in ceilings! thanks!
  10. setting it to sub out only cuts off the frequencies? doesn't this contradict with what the others said that setting them to large makes them full range
  11. yea I am getting there. So if that's the way small and large works, how does setting the bass output to sub only, or both come in to effect?
  12. Yes, I bought the SPL meter specifically for this. I started all speakers at 0 db's, and had the volume set to 0. Adjusted everything to 75, and the end result was a less than enjoyable sound. Well I am playing Jason Mraz now, and I hear alot more coming from the fronts when they're set to large.
  13. I was having issues with my left speaker sounding "louder", so I used an spl meter and it made it worse, so apparently my right speaker comes out louder, but it sounds better to me. May be because my left speaker is more in a corner, right speaker is more open. Also, still no answer on the cut off of big to small. thanks!
  14. If you don't mind me asking how'd you come to this? This is well known? I didn't see it in the manual. Didn't realize this, definately something to consider.
  15. Regardless of what my frequency is set at, if the speakers are set to large, they will not be cut off at any such frequency? I have my fronts and center set to small. Bass set to both (still kind of like sub only too, off and on, sometimes both is too much bass). Rears set to small Frequency cut off at 80hz. thanks guys
