I don't know if these have been mentioned yet but I have been using these to demo my new setup because they sound awesome! Cloverfield - really gets the sub working 2012 - crap movie but sound effects are very good Blindness - just a great audio production, great atmosphere Red Hill

Just one more pic with the lights out and projector on.

[] Hahaha, I'm afraid the website doesn't seem to let me upload video so I guess not. []

More pictures.

I have finally been able to take some pictures. My camera isn't that great but you get the idea. Those 'acoustic panels' you see are made according to these specs: http://johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10297 I will be adding a few of these in the corners as well: http://forum.studiotips.com/viewtopic.php?t=535 My brother created the cabinet that holds the RC64. That worked out very well. It's grey on the outside and inside with a wooden finish front and back. On the left side of the room there is a computer and xbox that is connected to the projector that hangs above the couch. Didn't take a pic of that yet because currently it's a mess. I can add a few chairs on each side of the couch when necessary but since seducing women is a hobby of mine this setup works very well for me most of the time. I have discovered that an added benefit of having an awesome home theater, apart from my own movie and music enjoyment, is that women are eager to come over and check it out. That alone has already proven to be worth the cost of upgrading.

I received all the goodies yesterday. One thing I noticed is that the RF63 misses a lot of bottom end that the RF35 already provides without needing a subwoofer. Luckely the RW12D is there to help out the RF63's. I configured the receiver to 'crossover' (I believe it's called) at 80hz. Audyssey set it to 40hz during 'automatic configuration' but that sounded a bit lifeless. It still feels like there is some mid end sound missing but that might just be me as I am very familiar with the RF35 sound. /> I did notice right away that the RF63s are much more articulated than the RF35s. Somehow they still sound a bit tight. They might need a few hours to break in? I am NOT regretting upgrading to the RC64. The sound matches perfectly with the RF63 and it's a very impressive (and very heavy) center speaker. I would not trade the RC64 for the RC62 if my life depended on it. It sounds to perfect the way it is, anything less would break my heart. The marantz sr6004 sounds very nice. What does puzzle me is that the Marantz provides 7x110watt and to get the system up to around 80db, I have to turn up the volume to about 70% of peak capacity. I was powering the RF35s with the Harman Kardon PM655 VXI amp which only has 90watt but I would get 80db at around 25% of what the PM655 would provide. What's up with that? The marantz is powerfull enough though. Even though I crank it up quite a bit it doesn't sound distorted at all. I could always add a seperate amp and just use the pre-out of the receiver but for now I am good. After fine tuning the receiver configuration last night at around 23:00PM I figured I'd test a few CD's and movies to see what this baby can do. Next thing you no, I noticed it becoming light outside which seemed odd. Turns out it's 7:00AM, I had no idea.. That's how impressed I am by this setup! I will post a few pics when everything is finished properly. Oh, and many thanks for the advice guys.

My little brother creates furnuture as his hobby and will build something that holds the center and the receiver and such. He reckons that it will be very cheap if we go for a minimalistic approach. The rc64s size is insane though.

Well I moved and the rf35's are already humming in anticipation of being joined by the rf63s, the rc64 and the rw12d. They will be powered by the marantz sr6004. Should arrive at the end of the week. Listening to the rf35s I can hardly imagine the rf63s being much better sounding than these but I guess we'll find out in just a few days.

I was afraid that the rc64 would be the first thing you guys would recommend. Might as well go for the 64 if 70% of movie audio is done by the center speaker. Why do you recommend the 82 vs 63? I also wonder if the amp has enough power for these speakers. I know that Klipsch speakers are very efficient but I did notice that putting a more powerfull amp behind my 35s really makes them sing.

I have attached a picture of the room. The room is 7m (23ft) bij 4.5m (14.7ft) in size. The room will be dedicated to being a home theater and I will try to optimize the acoustics of the room (don't know how yet, suggestions are very welcome). It will also feature a HD beamer and screen which I already have in use. The room will probably be used for movies 70% of the time and music 30% of the time and it will be played pretty loud but not loud enough to do ear damage. I'm not going to listen to 110db for an hour. I have read about the RC64 but considering the size of the room it seems overkill. Am I mistaking? The RF63 might also be overkill but hey.. those are very, very nice right?

I am moving to new home in which I finally have the space to extend my home theater to a full Klipsch reference series 5.1 setup. ) My planned setup is the following: Front: 2 RF63's Center: RC62 Sub: RW12d Rear: 2 RF35's (which I already own and am completely in love with!) Receiver: Marantz SR6400 or SR6500 Please let me know if you have any comments or suggestions. Thanks!
