  1. Reside in Penang. Bought the coffee filter paper and Uhu glue (for wood, leather etc). Plan to start this weekend.
  2. Just to be clear the option of using the rice/art paper and glue would mean having to unscrew all 8 screws, remove the cone, glue/repair etc? There are no re-cone stores here in this region unfortunately so would have to fix it per moray james suggestions or get something on ebay.
  3. Found this but price is steep http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement-Woofer-PAIR-for-Klipsch-Forte-or-Forte-II-Made-In-The-USA-/370622111895?pt=Speakers_Subwoofers&hash=item564acca097 .
  4. Sorry for the next question . How do I press then together? Do I need to unscrew the whole cone first?
  5. Thanks! There any guides I can use? Just cut the paper to overlap about an inch around the hole and glue?? That's it? What PN and which site would I look for if I wanted to replace them? Look for "Forte II Rear Passive Radiator"?
  6. Yes, read that the RF-82 II has two woofers and a tweeter-horn and not sure why no midrange-horn. What about the RF-7 II midrange?
  7. Here is a picture. It is the passive. Looking at the severe damage should I; 1. use rice paper, glue and the broken pieces to fix it 2. since Klipsch does not make anymore, what other brands/makes should I search for on eBay that be used 3. leave as it?
  8. Yes, it is the rear passive speakers. Do you happen to know the part number? What deterioration in sound should I observe with this torn (pretty badly torn actually)?
  9. Folks, Just tore a woofer cone on my 18 year old Forte IIs (got another post going on how and if I should replace the cones). Here I seek advice if a pair of RF-82 II are equivalent in the Bass department to the Forte IIs as they do not come with subs built-in. If no, would I need a separate subwoofer? Ravi
  10. Folks, Guess the 'Updates and Modifications' forum would be apt for the issue I currently face. My Forte II (17 years old) woofer on one side has been torn. Questions 1. Can I get a replacement DIY from an on-line store in the USA (reside in Malaysia so none here)? If so which site can I get them on? 2. What model of woofer do I search for by Part Number? Are these Klipsch branded? Noted I may have to change both sides 3. Are these straight forward replacements with instructions in the DIY kit? Ravi
  11. Would the RF63 sound better than the RF82 for music (2 channel) since the former has 3 x 6.5" and the latter has 2 x 8" woofers?
  12. Kritzer, Was about to purchase the RF82, RC64, RS52, RSW10d HT system. Noticed you had the same fronts and center. Any complaints? Then saw that Klipsch now have RF 82 II. Have you heard them? RAVI
  13. Has anyone heard the RF82 II? How do they compare to the RF82 and the RF63? Do you know if there will be a RF63 II?
  14. Has anyone heard the RF82 II? How do they compare to the RF82 and the RF63?
  15. Thanks! You mean as follow and at ceiling height (facing down?)?
  16. Folks, Decided to go with the RF82, RC64, RS52, RSW10d 5.1 HT System! Looking at the less than perfect room shape I am proposing the area shaded in orange for the sound stage; 10' x 17' . Comments? Should I change the layout from left to right? And make it 7.1? TV will be a 60"/65" with seating distance about 8'/10' away. Comments please? RAVI
  17. Folks, Decided to go with the RF82, RC64, RS52, RSW10d! Looking at the less than perfect room shape I am proposing the area shaded in pink for the sound stage; 10' x 17' . Comments? Should I change the layout from left to right? TV will be a 60"/65" with seating distance about 8'/10' away. Comments please? RAVI
  18. Was reading the wrong specification sheet. The RSW-10d is the better subwoofer than the RW-12d. [] Although the recommended subwoofer for the RF-82 Home Theater System is the RSW-10d, I just realized the dealer is packaging the RW-12d instead (and no wonder the 'good price'). Which would mean I have to outlay more cash for the following upgrade; 1. from RW-12d to RSW-10d 2. from RC-62 to RC-64 Sigh! If I had to choose one which should I select?
  19. So the smaller coned subwoofer, RSW-10d, with narrower bandwitdh is still a better match than the RW-12d?
  20. Bill, Jrod, Thanks! So the 'perfect' system for that price range and room size would be; 1. RF-82 2. RC-64 (need to check out the price difference) 3. RS-52 4. RSW-10d (thought with the 12" cone and wider bandwidth the RW-12d would be a better woofer just from specs alone) Will be using the system for both music and movies. Did not see any comments on the Yamaha RX-V3900 so assume that should be a pretty good match for the speakers. I have read that the speakers can be a bit bright though. RAVI
  21. Trying to decide on either; 1. RF-62 Home Theater System (standard config: RF-62, RC-62, RS-52, RW-12d) 2. RF-82 Home Theater System (standard config: RF-82, RC-62, RS-52, RSW-10d) 3. RF-82 Home Theater System (RF-82, RC-62, RS-52, RW-12d) with bigger woofer. My AV room size is abour 24' x 14'. Using the Yamaha RX-V3900 Receiver. Can someone advise?
