Mattax

Great, thanks for your comments. It sound like I should keep the 62 until I eventually upgrade or maybe if I can get a good deal on a used 64.

So which would be a better choice overall? Do I keep my timber matched 62's or is the 7 significantly better? Which would you choose if given both choices with my system setup?

Based on my system (In my signature) I'm wondering if the RC-7 would be too overpowering. I might have an opportunity to buy one but I don't want it to dominate the other speakers to the point where the whole system sounds off. Any thoughts?

Forgot to ask if the RF-42's a good match for wide surround or would 62's make more sense? lastly if I go the front height direction, do I match the RB-62's that I have for rear surround or is a different size recommended? Thanks again.

Hello all, Just wondering if people prefer wide surround or front height? I have my RF-82's and was thinking of getting some bookshelf speakers for front height but I like the idea of having a second and smaller pair of towers for wide surround. Have people tried both and if so, what do you prefer and why? Thanks everyone.

I just spoke with the guy I've been dealing with at Futureshop and he's going to give me a discount price on 2 floor model RS-42'. I'm obviously going to inspect them first. I figure this way I can have some surrounds on the cheap and upgrade down the line when I see a pair of RS-52's on sale. Then I'll ask for the RB-61's for Christmas.

Yeah I found that posting too. I messaged the guy twice but he never got back to me. I guess he sold them and didn't bother to remove the posting. Thanks for looking out though.

Thanks to everyone for their comments. It seems like most people agree that the RB-61 are decent enough for rear surround so I'll go for those. It seems like the main surrounds I could go either way. Does it make a difference if I can get the RS-42's for under $400 with tax? I have a hard time even finding Klipsch dealers here in Vancouver but our Futureshops (Best Buy) are having a sale on the 42's.

I've uploaded the room picture. Where it says dining room is actually where our TV and Couches are. I'd like to keep it to the RS-42 if possible for this size of room but if it's not going to sound good I'll save up for the 52's.

Hi Everybody, I just got a deal on two RF-82's and a RC-6. They are great sounding speakers. My question is, do I get RS-52's over RS-42's for my surround and RB-61's over RB-81's for the rear surround? I know that the larger speakers are reccomended for my front system but will their smaller counterparts still sound ok in my room? I'll upload some room dimentions when I get home.
