    well me and the wife had a long talk about the speaker situation..she just dont want wall mounted speakers period..and said she would actually rather have towers for surounds than bookshelves..its her house to, so i gotta give in, sooooooooooo, im going to order a set of floorstanders for surrounds...is there much difference between the rf52 and rf62 sound wise..i dont really care about the cost difference, if its worth it..thanks for all the replies, i just hate not being able to demo something and buying blind..yall know klipsch way more than me

    Thanks

    I agree that you probably will not hear $300 worth of difference between the 52's and 62's. I was fortunate and picked up a pair of RS-52's on Craigslist in great condition for $250.

    wow..250 is a steal..they are going for around 750 new for the 52,s, 1k for the 62,s

    thanks for the replies..we very seldom listen to music in the house(my nusic setup is in my truck, lol) this is mainly for movies and tv watching. Im still undecided..about ready to just order some rs52,s and hang them up, and when she walks in say thats the only way they will work[^o)]..just my luck i would gt the bookshelfs and one fall off the stand, and cause me to have a stroke! I really like the rs62, but cant see paying 1k for surrounds.

    1 more quick question though. I know surrounds are reccomended to be about 1ft above ear level..if i get the rs52,s and say i hang them 3-4ft above ear level..still sound good? or will the sound be going over our heads?The way our room is setup, 1ft above ear level is gonna look weird, and make them stick out like a sore thumb...thanks in advance..

    thanks for the reply..i didnt know if the rs would sit on a stand, or if they was wall mounting only. I really would rather them be on the wall..but once again, she is throwing a fit[:D]...one of these days im gonna buy a different house, and have a room to myself, lol. 1 more quick question. Klipsch reccomends the rs52 to match my rf82/rc62 setup. Would the rs62 be that much better? worth the extra price?

    thanks

    anybody running the rb series bookshelf speakers for surrounds? I was going to order a pair of the rs52,s but the wife is throwing a fit about it..she dont want any speakers on the walls..i dont know if the rs series can be stand mounted. Only other alternative would be a set of bookshelf speakers, or buy another set of towers..which i did consider a set of floorstanders..maybe rf62..whatcha think? any ideas?

    That idea got rejected by the future Wifey....... Surprise

    That's how it starts. Pretty soon you'll have those cute little cubes in your living room instead of those big ugly speakersStick out tongue

    if my wife had her way, we would have them little cubes to[:D]

    the wife is going to penneys today to check out some drapes for the french doors, gonna look for a large area rug this weekend..she loves this part lol. I did just get through hitting the buy button though on a Harmon kardon 3600, j&r had a deal i couldnt pass up. Planning on keeping the 805 though just in case. Hopefully the hk has what im looking for

    i did try audessey several different times..it actually seems to make it even more bright sounding, and a whole lot less bass.I run the 805 with manual eq, and use the thx cinema and it sounds pretty good. I think i have a weakness for bright sounding setups, lol..i had the same problem with my system in my truck. After several differnt speaker setups, amps, etc, before i finally found what i was after[:D]

    thanks for all the replies. Done some more reading, last night and this morning, and i was interested in the denon 3310, thinking it was in the same ball park as the 3808..but have found out, its actually a step down. So thats out..the marantz 6005 and especially the 7005 seem nice. Now i have been reading more into the Harmon kardon line, and like the HK3600..i found alot of good reviews on them..but remember at one time hk had some quality control problems. power specs dont really matter, since i will be using a seperate amp. Wish there was a higher end audio store close to demo some different brands.

    . nothing against the 805 ...but my setup does tend to get bright at higher volumes. Was just thinking about replacing the bedroom receiver with my 805, and get a new receiver for the living room. I was interested in the emotiva pre pro, but seems like they have bugs from what ive been reading..and i read they tend to favor the neutral to brighter sound

    Been looking at receivers online..wandering how a denon sounds compared to onkyo. Thinking of replacing my 805 onkyo, and have read denons tend to be warmer sounding. Im looking at the denon 3310..anybody running it? like, dislike?
