About the 2nd part

Please; if you can..... look and let me know as I am considering an old PS3 used in the near future..... Thanks! I think I’m wrong

Isn’t pcm better than bit stream? I thought I read that if you can run both always go pcm the size is bigger isn’t it? And I guess I’ll have to look but I have the old 60 fat ps3 I could swear I can do 1 or the other (bit stream/pcm) ??

Your question is to vague need to know your budget before can really give an opinion.

Very nice I should give you some business. I need some for the front 3 []

Well depends on the blu ray if a little older you would first need to go to the audio options at the menu screen of the blu ray movie. And change it to what you want. Then you probably have an auto mode on your avr that will read the highest possible format. In your case if you are seeing pcm then your avr is set right but if the movie came out on blu ray before the last year or so (probably like 2 years but I always check) the standard is just basic 5.1. Hit the display button on your ps3 remote up in the right corner you will see what the ps3 is decoding hd dts/true hd/ pcm/ next to that you see the size in hz some move some don’t. If you see just basic 5.1 Dolby pro then you need to change it.

They would probably sound pretty good but price wise it’s very close to the rf-7ii (like 300 retail). Two 7s and a 64 my guess would have a better stage and overall surround sound, and would look way better imo.

My guess is it goes back to one of your words....misinformation. Either that or he just assumed that it was. Honest mistake. +1

now you are throwing robert under the train lol. not good Lol If I called bose and said I have an rc-64ii. And ask do you think it will match your 901s? Do you think they would say no?Only using this example because I know we all know they don’t match.

The incredibles finally came out yesterday watched it last night sounded great !!

+1

Well Bose will tell you they have the best speakers in the world[]. Customer service no disrespect to any and all (Customer service) is not the authority on what’s good and what’s not.

If the two speakers sound the same (rf-83 and the rc-64ii) then yes they would be and I’m wrong. But are opinions are what are being ask for right? Cause that’s what I’m giving. That’s all any of us can give you. So not sure how an opinion can be taken as misinformation. If you ask what sounds better we tell you what we think can that be misinformation? My guess they sound good together but not the same and to me that’s what timbre match is. The guy at klipsch might think it means does it sound good together who knows. Depends how you want to look at it.

lmao []

Jason why even post on here then and ask questions if you don’t think people might have good advice. No disrespect but that statement seemed a little harsh.[] If the email is the only thing to go by then by all means email them and buy what they tell you.

And they timbre match a new speaker to a discontinued one with different drivers. That seems fishy. Keep in mind even the old rc-64 wasn’t a timbre match to the old 7s they had a different center for them

Imo if you asked them if any klipsch speaker would work with another they would probably say yes. I just don’t see them saying no. if I had khorns and called and said I was thinking about buying an rc-62 would it match I’m betting they would say yup. Now if I asked if there was a better center I could use for the khorns then I would probably get a different answer. And who is answering have they put the 83s in a set up with the 64ii and said yea I guess that works or is it a guess or the normal answer to questions they get I’m sure like crazy. I bet they get that type a call all the time (will this work with that) Again I’m not saying klipsch would give you bad advice cause I’m sure it will sound good.

He said they will fix the info soon

The new rc-64ii is a two way crossover design different than the old rc-64 but klipsch said that the specs online and manual were messed up was an oversight he said.

This is part of what makes klipsch so great so many great speakers hard to choose. As a kid I always wanted the khorns (still do but would be sleeping on the couch) no matter what way he goes he’s going to be happy I’m sure. []

My ears agree I bought the rc-64ii before the 7s and had the rf-82 set up. It almost sounded like dare I say it a different brand speaker. Don’t get me wrong it sounded good still but the center sound didn’t match the mains sound (rf-82). I’m sure I would have gotten used to it and been very happy. Was just a great excuse to upgrade []

Devil's advocate.....Klipsch probably made that decision because it was more cost effective to make the 7's vs the 83's. Amy made it sound like they brought them back because they were so popular.

I had the rf-82 when I had the rc-62 very good match sounded great together. The rf-63 would be a better match to the old rc-64

You could always wait for a better price on the 7ii or try and get a set of b stock, or even wait and get used. I’m sure they would sound ok together (83 and 64ii) but the horns are different. It’s the horn from the old rf-64. At this point get what you want the front speakers are your main speakers if there’s ever a reason to spend more to get what you want it would be on the mains. They call them mains for a reason.[]

Seems like a fair price.[]
