I actually tested B&W 683 briefly @bestbuy and like them. Those are the only B&W speakers I experienced. What is your opinion on those? How about 7xx series and CM8 series? My budget is around 2K, or 3K at a stretch. I also heard KEF XQ is pretty good, but have a hard time to try to demo them. PS. Sorry if I talked too much about other brands here. After all it is a Klipsch forum. [:$] Oops, just noticed 7xx is discontinued.

Will there be too much bass for music? What type of music do you listen to?

Thanks for the recommendations. Those speakers looks quite large and my wife will definitely say no. [] Does the Rf-7 have similar sonic signature? As to the 3 ways, how about rf-63, and rf-83? Why were they stopped?

Hi, Is the RF-82 II good for classical music? I have tested a RF-52 II and 62 II from a local dealer a short while ago. Between the two, 62 definitely sounds better and "richer". And recently I also checked out a used RF-82 (not II model), I like the high and mid range, but the bass is a little too strong. Even after the owner changed the setting, it still doesn't sound as good as mid and high ranges. It is hard to describe it. Just wonder what are the improvements on new RF-82 II? I can't find a local place to test it out. Also is the RF series designed more suitable for HT instead of music? Thanks.

So a dedicated amp like this will be much better than a receiver with same power per channel alone (sound wise)? Even the power is same, but the "quality" of the signal is better?

That happened to me last week, I drove about 20 mins to the closest dealer during the lunch break, but found out they/he closed out and won't come back until 1:20. [] To my surpirse, it is a small shop, kind of like small radio shack size, not very well organized looking through the windows. Doesn't look like a good demo env. I was expecting something like a car dealership. LOL. Maybe I asked too much.

Thank you guys for the laughs. I am pretty sure this package is pretty good for movies, should be much better than my onkyo 6.1 HTIB. I am more concerned with musics especially classics. I heard they lacks in mid range and the sub is too boomy for musics. What is your opinions? Will upgrading to 62 or 82 solve the problem? or even 7?

Hi I am new to Klipsch and HiFi, and found this forum very informative and friendly. I recently got a package deal including Onkyo 608, RF-52 II, RC-52 II, RB-51 II and RW-12d, but haven't received them yet. Normally I spend 70/30 on movies and music (classics, pop, jazz). The more I read I felt the urge to upgrade to higher models. [] So don't know if it makes sense to sell this package, maybe be able to make some money for bigger boxes. So before I open the boxes, I would like to check out the different models. Bestbuy only has HTIB speakers. Also called a relatively close by dealer, he only has 42, 52 and 62 for demo. Is that common for most dealers? Any other places to check out? (I live in south Boston area.) And what do you think of 52s for classics? Thanks a lot.
