Ah, that does make sense doesn't it? Perhaps I will investigate a set of RS-3's then...the problem is finding them around here, people in the area here trend towards the Wal-Mart brands. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the reply. I've heard the RS-3's when I purchased my RF-3's, loved them then, but then just recently have heard the RS-42's, and they seem to have a better sound distribution than the RS-3's did. That's generally why I'm looking for either the 42's or the 52's. Then again, if money turns up particularly short, I have no problems using the 3's, they still sound better than the Jamo's!

Hello folks, new here to the forum, but certainly not new to the Klipsch experience. Up until recently I have been using a mixed bag for my speaker set on my primary home theater setup, this included a blend of Klipsch and Jamo speakers. Well, I finally got the money together to begin phasing out the Jamo's as a second home theater system and am now in the process of upgrading the speakers in their place. My current setup is: Yamaha RX-V2500 A/V Receiver Klipsch RF-3 II front speakers Klipsch RC-52 II front center channel Yamaha YST-160 Subwoofer Jamo Surround 150 surround speakers (L/R) I currently don't have the financial boot to take care of the subwoofer, but do have the cash to take care of the rear speakers, but am torn between the RS-52's and the RS-42's. I understand that the 52's will pair with the center channel, but my primary concern is getting as far as I can with my dollar, without the worry of blowing speakers, or having my front channels roll over the rear. Any advice on this?
