Any of you own or even owned polk and if so why did you come to klipsch?

Thanks all great advice. I did not mean to sound that i am in a hurry to buy the speakers. I have until july so basically 3 months for the fron L/R and the rest I can slowly start to add. If you guys know any forum member from Delaware or Philadelphia area and I could go and listen to their set u pit would be great. And yes, if I feel like listening to the klipsch that I am not getting that sound then I amy go the polk route. But, againa a set up at home might turn out different. Why do people say that klipsch horn sound harsh?

That's great deal and i don't mind buying used or even driving a little to get something like that. Since nothing is available used around my area. Should I look into B stock and does acoustic sound design sell B stock RF62ii? Also, I saw the surround speakers yesterday at the store but don't remember the model no. The speakers were on the wall, I don't think my wife will let me do that in teh fmaily room. So what can i use as surround speakers which can be on stand or a side coffee table. Also, if I can convince my wife to wall mount, my speaker prewires will be at the bottom of the wall, how will I get the speakers to hand and connect to the outlet down below. Does it make sense whatI am trying to ask here?

You guys are awesome. Inviting strangers into your home to have them listen to your speakers. I just want to buy klipsch just so that I can hang out with you guys here and be friends. Haha.... I also should say that I went on my lunch break and listened only for a few minutes. I should give it some more time. I don't think they will be able to play it on a comparable receiver. Maybe the polks that I listened to had the receiver high on the treble which is what I may be misunderstanding as being bright. I can see that I would need you help once I buy the speakers to properly set it up. Any suggestions on the center channel speakers rc52 or rc62? Also with the room layout shown above would the rf62ii be able to fill sound in the room. Can I do better than $700 on the rf62ii or us this a good deal. I would but used but I don't think I will find them in delaware.

Ok I am attaching the layout of the room so that you guys can give me some idea. Today I went to listen to the klipsch RF62ii and the guys was playing music through sonos online streaming. I liked the klipsch sound but felt that it was not bright as the polk. I want to love these factors and get the WOW but i am a little disappointed that i did not get that. Could be many factors, receiver, room, distance to the speakers etc. This was without the center channel and the polk was with center channel. What am I doing wrong or am I not hearing them properly. I also though that I would go with the RF82ii but after listening to the RF62ii side by side I think the RF62ii will be fine for us, plus wife won't like the fact that the RF82ii is so big. I can tell you that when my wife and I went to the store this weekend and heard the pioneer and polk and klipsch v series (I forget the model number) The polk TSI300 stood out to us as bright and clean, which is what we like. The klipsch V series did not sound as good. Could have been the set up. This was for music and whatever receiver it was hooked up with. I am getting a good price on the RF62ii and RC52 center under $1000. Is this a good price? I tried the dealers that you guys recommended but they were a little more than the price I got from another dealer and even my local dealer would give me for $960. Is klipsch not right for me. am planning on taking my wife during the weekend and giving the klipsch one more try. Any suggestion on any specific music that I should listen to get the best out of them. I hope I get wowed by them. else might have to get the polks.

You guys are great. Thank you for giving me such great information. I look forward to learning a lot from all you experts. I got a quote from an online dealer. I am not sure if I am allowed to post the prices so unless you guys confirm I won't post prices. I just wanted to know of the dealers you guys have recommended can do better. Also the price difference between 62 and 82 is coming out to be $80 more so now I am inclined to go with the 82. Wife may not be happy with the bigger spearkers though. Which center will match with the 82's. I also wanted to know how I can attach an image so that you guys can see the room layout and suggest location for speakers surrounds and sub. It's new construction home so I am getting prewired but want to make sure my location selection is right. I have listened to def tec, focal chorus and b&w and though that they were nice but I did not get clean and crisp sound and there was not WOW factor. Do you guys think klipsch will give me that.

Thanks for the website suggestion. Do I need to talk to some one specific at ASD. Budget, well I am trying to figure that one out, should i stretch and get the rf82ii or stick with the rf62ii are for$500 each, and I saw the rf82ii at acoustic website for $900 but open box which you recommended to stay away from. I am no audiophile so want to get the best sound possible without having to spend too much.

Thanks, and i live in Delaware and the closest dealer for me to be able to listen to theses speakers are in world wide stereo in Montgomeryville, PA.

Hi all, First post in this forum and I am looking for some suggestions and guidance to set up a HT. I am currently in an apartment and have a HTIB and will be moving to house for which I need help picking up speakers. The room will be 22X19, carpeted and opens to the kitchen. We will use it for movies and TV for 70% and music 30% I have found that I like clean and crisp sound that comes to you. I went to the local store to listen to the RF series but they did not have them. I first listen to pioneers and found that the sound was muddled, then polk which sounded nice and bright, the klipsch next to it sounded even better the K series, so i am assuming the RF series would sound even better. I have found a dealer who is 1.5 hours away and will try to go and listen to the RF 62ii or the Rf 82ii and see how they sound. Do you guys think its the right type of speakers for the kind of sound that I am looking for. I have a receiver pioneer SC 1522 K that I got for a good deal.Also, thinking of getting the RW 12D sub. Also, is there a site from where I can get B stock or open box speakers and save some $$$. Does Klipsch speakers go on sale? where can i find deals?
