  1. After spending the weekend sampling 2ch music and movies in surround. I'm going to have to say that I'm most pleased with the new center. I was really having problems hearing dialogue in movies. The RC-62 is a huge improvement over the old SC-1 center.

  2. All I can say is, I'm in love with this setup. Sampling Pink Floyd "The Endless River". It feels

    like I'm inside the sound coming from them. A very rich, enveloping experience I guess is how I would

    describe it.

    So glad I made the leap and purchased them.

  3. Congrats, welcome and enjoy the new setup! You may need to set reminders for yourself over the weekend to eat something every 18 hrs or so - take a break and move around a little bit. ;)

    I'll put reminders in my phone. Good tip! Thanks!

    I'm going to be sitting in the sweet spot all weekend.

    I'll post more pics from the apartment later this evening.

  4. Some of the goodies showed up at my office.

    The RF-62's had the address wrong. So, I put a hold on them and will pick them up after work at UPS.

    Can't wait to get them hooked up!!! Feel like a kid on Christmas morning.

  5. I finally upgraded my 5.1 setup to all Reference speakers!!! I have had a thrown together setup for a long time. It consisted of KG-3.2's with Crites updates for the Main L/R, an SC-1 center, RW-8 sub, and KSB-1.1's for the surrounds.

    For the new setup, I kept the RW-8 sub with plans to upgrade that later. New RF-62 II's, RC-62 II center, and RB-51 II's for surrounds. The RB-51 II's have been in my bedroom for a 2 Channel setup for listening to music. The KG3.2's will be moved to the bedroom for me, and the other speakers I'm giving to my 12 year old daughter to put in her room.

    I'm Really excited to hear how the new system sounds. I'm living in an apartment right now (divorce). So, really cranking it is not going to happen soon. But, I'm looking for a new home. So, hopefully, I'll be able to put them through their paces soon enough.

    Really enjoy reading everything here. I've learned a great deal just form reading all of your informative and entertaing post. I'll post some pics as soon as I get the new speakers home!

  6. Ordered me a pair of RF-62 II's and an RC-62 II to go with my RB-51 II"s. Of course the RF's will be replacing my KG 3.2's as the Mains. And the RC will replace my SC-1 center channel. The RB's will replace my old KSB-1.1's I've been using as surrounds. All the old speakers will go to my bedroom system. Really excited to have an all Reference system in my living room.

  7. Just curious as to how difficult doing the crossover and diaphragm replacement really is. I'm fairly handy with tools. My KG 3.2's are nearing 20 years old. Should I go ahead and invest in these upgrades? They still sound good to me, but I wonder if they are in need of the upgrade. Is it difficult to do?

    Thanks
