Yes inventor i saw your brackets they were very nice indeed! I want to eventually get RS speakers and go to 7.1 though so i am not looking to put unnecessary holes in the wall. Putting them on stands would be really cool but for now i have to almost matching lamp tables (not sure what to call them) That put the speakers at the perfect height and are sturdy and wide enough that the speakers wont fall off. If some nice stands go on craigslist around me i will pick them up for sure and figure something out then. By the way inventor did you get your rs-42s new or used? I am in the market for a pair.

i was just joking i knew you did not mean it that way. Really though my 8 year old pioneer elite receiver seems like it will last forever. It does not run hot and it has been taking care of extremely well. The onkyo may run a little warm so you have to take that into consideration. Also for $150 more you can get a upa-2 (or wait for it to go on sale) and get that 5 year transferrable warranty. Although the onkyo is rated at higher watts i dont think you would notice much of a difference in power.

lol dont be such a downer Youthman. I would think that if the m502 is bridgeable it would work just fine for a passive sub. Not sure if the price point is right, really i have no idea

I was using a second pair of RF-82s for surrounds for a few weeks. I really just did not like how the tweeter was the only thing peaking over the couch (i eventually want a home theater couch) so i sold them. I know bass really is not so directional but i felt i was missing a little of the midend sound. I know some people put velcro on the bottom of the speaker and the stand but i really think that the velco would strip the veneer if you ever decided to take it off.

The bookshelf speaker is meant to be put on stands i mean it is on them in the klipsch stock pictures! I am saying it is rediculous they did not include some threaded mounting holes atleast on the bottom to secure them to the stands. I hate to trust a $500 pair of speakers on stands if there is anyone besides me walking in the area. I am happy with them so far but they are not near what the rs-62 was as a surround (i watched one movie with them). I also tested them aside my rf-82s as mains and the difference is huge, the rf-82s rock! Great to have a matching set though, i plan to get some rs-42s or rs-52s and have a 7.1 eventually

after some research i found out the rb-61 has no onboard mounting capabilites. How rediculous!? I would probably be buying stands for them and i dont really trust gravity to keep them on if they get bumped. What to do what to do, advice would be appreciated. It is a 2 hour drive round trip for a $180 pair of rb-61s

Yeah, klipsch support said back wall would work too. I sort of wish that i could have kept those speakers but money is a little to tight for me to keep $600 speakers that dont work perfectly in my room. I have a chance to get some used rb-61s for $180 but i have to drive 2 hours round trip, what do you guys think? The problem i have with these is once again my ears will be a bit hidden behind the couch and i will be able to more directionally locate the surrounds than the rs series. Also i will have to figure out stands or a mount

Unless you need the 3d i would be tempted to find something a little more powerful and that has preouts. You must feed those rs-62s!

Thanks for the input guys. Finally decided i couldnt put them symetrically and couldnt cleanly instal them with stand so i sold them locally. I am now looking for some rsx-5s

Its coming closer to that time to make a decision. I can either construct stands or put them on the back wall. Is putting them on the back wall a last resort option or would it work fine? Please i need another opinion or two

It is an option but isnt optimal for a few reasons. I dont want to sink much into them, i dont want to put velcrow on the bottom of the speaker and risk blemishing the speaker, i like the idea of them being out of the way on the way, seems like they would be a cleaner install

Now as you can see my directly back wall is clear so i would have no problem mounting them here but i am pretty sure this would not disperse the sound like it is suppose to. My other options are mounting the speakers at the tops of the ceiling (above the windows and doors) this would be perfect except i think the speaker would be too high. Also if i put my tv on the back wall instead of where it is at i would have a place to mount both speakers parallell to each other but and the very back of the room, making a half of the side of the speaker aiming directly at the wall. This may be a decent solution but i would have to rerun a new cable jack to the tv.

Okay, here is the next pic. This is the Back Left Surround. I am torn whether i want to put it farther upfront or farther back. As you can see by the measurements that neither lines up with the other side (back right surround). The back of the couch is at 48'' by the way.

Well i am trying to get my home theater completed and just need to get a different tv stand and put up some good surrounds. I have some brand new rs-62s so i am trying to see if they are going to work in my room. The room is 16' by 17' tv on short end. The room is full of windows and doors so it is making this hard. I have 3 pics i will include and will take more if that will help you guys help me! Okay here is the first pic, this is the wall the Back Right Surround should go on, the x indicates where i would like to put the surround. Measurements are taken from the center of where the speaker would be. On this wall i also have a mantle to deal with where i do not want to deflect sound directly into it.

The monster xp is 16 guage. I have it running to my surrounds right now, i got it free with a speaker purchase. I bought a spool of monoprice 12 guage that i will be replacing it with once i get my new surrounds up and configured. The xp works but once i start using a better surround speaker i will make the switch to the 12 guage

Using $2000+ speaker wire with palladiums may produce a very small but positive effect on the speaker's sound. I am sure many true audiophiles would attest to this and be willing to spend that amount. The true audiophile being the person with the extremely large budget and a love and knowledge for sound.

Yes, unless you have palladium series 12 guage speaker wire from monoprice would be your best bet. By the way how do you like the rs-62s? I have a brand new pair just sitting around that i dont know if i want to sell or keep

i am unsure as to whether the receiver has that feature or not but using a speaker switcher and hooking the second set on the switch to the "B" speaker outputs on the receiver you could get something to work

what receiver do you have?

Yes that is a great idea, you may want to first look into whether you can get the rc-62 or rc-52 shipped to you first. rb-81 and rc-62s up frontwould be really great

If you plan to move a few times less equipment may be better. The harmon kardon hk3490 and a pair of rf-82s would provide great sound and alot of bass. The Hk is a stereo receiver and does not have any hdmi and only two digital inputs, something i could live with. Good luck!

wow yeah that sound has to be amazing. I sold my last set to get a bigger than 52'' but i got a great deal on the 5100. I plan to sell it and go with a 60'' lcd in a few months. I will post a pic of my system here in another few weeks when i get a tv stand to accomodate my center and components. Good luck with the sub get the pb13 ultra for some asthetics.

Elite great sound setup right there. Are you using the monoblocks to biamp, why is there 8? I have the same tv i previously had the kdl-52v4100 and sold it and bought the 5100. I am really enjoying the 120hz how do you like the tv?

The polk monitor 70s were on sale for $300 a pair not too long ago. I really love the looks of the polk rtia5 7 9s. I would say that yes the monitor 70s would be a better speaker than the f1 but they will surely sound different than each other by a bit. Of course the klipsch has the horn tweeter and are super efficient. I am not a big fan of the looks on the monitor series, tsi are better but i really love the rtia series. Personally i would have a hard time selling speakers that i just bought unless i could recoup 75% of my money or more. Long story short yes i think you can do better than the f1s

Mister you should be synergy freak. For 4 fronts do you just split the preout then use your emotiva for the four fronts and center? Cool set up, by far best synergy setup i have ever seen. Respect! Any drawbacks from having 4 fronts?
