DCR on that driver should be about 8 ohms, they are in parallel

Hard call really, they all three have a bit different personality. The 62 may be a bit more refined that the 25. I have not listed to them side by side and it has been 3 years since the last time I heard the RF-25, but I liked them, I also like the RF-62. I would say the HF of the RF-25 may be a bit more pronounced that that of the RF-62, but again it has been a while since I last listened to them. Bass extension is nice with both. F-3, another nice speaker in it's class, but compair it more to the RF-35 and RF-82, 8" woofers. So to offer an answer, I can not say which would be your best choise, it is all about how they sound to you.

The HF of the RF-83 and RF-63 match with the RC-64, that said, the RF-82 down matches the RC-62 and RC-52.....worth a shot if you are looking at the 83 or 63, just pointing it out before you try it. The match is in your ear, so if you like the combo, that is what matters most. Not a prob to level match between that combo. Also, make sure that receiver will handle 2 centers, droping the load to 4 ohms, may make for an unhapy receiver....The sensitivity is close enough between those three you should not have a problem with level matching.

[] yes sir, great direction......

Tapered-array......both woofs play down to the 57Hz point, one rolls off at 1150 Hz and the other plays up to the xover point of 1650Hz......does this by design.......

Low and muffled, tweeter not playing. High pitched sound, woofer not playing What R35 are they? RF-35 tower, RB-35 book shelf, RS-35 surround? If a RF or RB, double check the binding post connections, make sure the straps are not loose. Bi-wire binding post sets may loosen and loose connection to either the woofer or tweeter. If this is not the case, check with the dealer if purchased new, they handel the warranty. 5 years from date of purchase.

The following info was combined from research by Jim Hunter, Mark Kauffman and my self. To the best of our knowledge, it is complete. There may still be a few gray areas, as more information is located, it will be updated. I have heard of very few cases when the B-3 network was found in K-77-M, K-55-V speakers during ealry transition between CW I and CW II around 1984 to 85 Date Event Oct 1959 The Cornwall is introduced as the world's second commercially produced center speaker. A speaker with higher output capability than the Heresy was needed when used in three speaker arrays between Klipschorns®. Component designations: Woofer EV 15WK, Midrange K-1000 Horn and University SAHF Driver, Tweeter K-77 Late 1959 Transition to the K-33-J Woofer (Jensen) 1959 - 1961 Sporadic transition to the K-55-V mid-range driver (Atlas). Jan 1963 The K-1000 diffraction type midrange horn was replaced with the exponential K-600 horn with a lower (600 Hz) cutoff Sept 1967 Transition to the K-33-M. The records are not clear as to the origin of this driver but it is believed to be an Eminence driver with an Alnico magnet. Jan 1968 Transition to The K-33-P Woofer (CTS Paducah KY) 1974 The horizontal version of the Cornwall is discontinued 1974 K-56 mid-range driver (Electrovoice 1828) is used for a short period as a temporary replacement as the supply of K-55-V drivers was interrupted. 1975 Transition to The K-33-B Woofer (CTS Brownsville TX) 1975? - 1979 K-33-E (Eminence) and the K-33-B were used interchangeably. The records are not specific about the actual start date for the K-33-E but it is believed to be in the early to mid 1970's 1979 The Eminence K-33-E woofer is used exclusively 1981 - 1983 The transition between four different iterations of the midrange driver from revolving sources occurs during this period. The original K-55-V was changed to the K-51-V and then to the K-55-G (essentially a ceramic magnet version(2 different vendors) of the Atlas Alnico K-55-V) to the Hepner built K-52-H and finally the Klipsch built K-52-K. March 14, 1983 The "Cornwall II" has a stealthy launch (it is still called the Cornwall) as the production records indicate the B-3 network starts to be used and the use of the K-77 tweeter stops in this model. This marked the first time in the Cornwall's history that it used a mid-range and tweeter driver set differed from that of the Klipschorn®. There are reports of Cornwall cabinets (rear mounted drivers and screw on backs with Cornwall II components. Component designations were (probably): Woofer Eminence K-33-E, Midrange K-57-K (K-601 plastic horn and K-52-K driver), Tweeter K-79-K (K-75-K horn and K-79 driver) and B-3 network. 1986 The Cornwall II is "officially" introduced and appears on the price sheets. It featured front mounted drivers to reduce baffle induced diffraction effects. Component designations were: Woofer Eminence K-34-E (K-33-E with a dressy pad ring), Midrange K-57-K (K-601 plastic horn and K-52-K driver), Tweeter K-79-K (K-75-K horn and K-79 driver) and B-3 network. 1990 The Cornwall II is discontinued March 2006 The Cornwall III is introduced marking the end of the Cornwall's 15 year absence from the market. This version utilizes the Klipschorn® woofer, the horn and driver set from the Heresy III (featuring Titanium diaphragms and a Tractrix® tweeter horn) and bi-wire inputs. Component designations are: Woofer K-33-E, Midrange K-53-Ti (K-701 horn and K-53-Ti driver), Tweeter K-107-Ti (K-79-T horn and K-100-Ti driver).

As far as I recall, that PJ was as it was outa the box, I don't think I have had my hands on it yet, sorry about that. I should have tweeked it friday night, but was busy with the Jubs. I thought the KPT-8001's sounded great with the Cornwalls and " center channel speaker stand", those will be on my side walls Tuesday night, let ya know how they sound with C I's up front.

are you sure that's not Phillips? he hides a lot [8-)] Might have been me, was a few days ago. I used to wear a black watch, wasn't hiding [H], don't remember having Klipsch shirt that color...

Hey, Michael, what's the gray shaded area behind the Jubs in the picture? Just the flash, room is dark.....they don't look like that, no shading

Kool, I wanna help.....trash Colters place...way fun

That's the place, heck I am there now........

Set the levels to the sub while it is in your sweet spot. The one thing I would suggest differntly that what has been said so far...Move the seating to place the sub.....Get down on your knees after you place the sub in the sweet spot. This will keep your head about the same hight as when seated. Bass will change as you stand up as well as when you move around. Not just with a sub but with any speaker that can reproduce lower freqs......Play some some music with nice bass content you are used to, stereo. Wonder around the room, usually when you find a spot where the bass sounded like ity did when at your sweet spot you can place the sub there, probably more than one spot will result about the same.

Me too Mike, shame I can't get my hands on em..... Mike, did you get that email from me, you never responded, should I PM you? We were back and forth with PM so I emailed the last response

[] That works for me hehe, as I will be helpen with them.....guess we better get to the paint store with a button to match....

While I am not a fan of ceilings for the front end of an HT,use one more CDT-5650-C as a center. That way you keep the sound at the same basic plane. What I suggest is to think about where the sound will be coming from when you use a ceiling speaker up front. If you need to use an inwall, use an R-5650-W or R-5800-W. Best suggetion, three R-5650-W or R-5800-W's at the same level across the front

Jub's big time, why? Cause I don't have any now or yet [:'(] ? Cornwall III's, love em but have three C I's now, no room.......MCM? I don't live out in the sticks, no room or the answer woould be BIG TIME yes!!.........Q III and Promedia 2.0? Big speaker guy, too small........but for the size they are nice and sound "bigger" than they are Or was I not supposed to answer as I work here?

Things change from back around page 22 or so of this way long thread 1980 Cornwall I's L & R, center 1982 Cornwall I. Aragon Stage One and 2007 still used, but 8008x3 driving the front end, RT-12d in back, THX Ultra2 sub system up front. RS-7 sides, RB-5 back surrounds. Oppo 971, other stuff no change other than the projector is now a Yamaha DPX-1200 720p. Not done yet, I need to curtian the area below the screen, as you can see the painted wall behind. Cornwall too tall, had to raise new screen....

Looks like the KP-456, if you email support@klipsch.com, it may be easier to send you the pdf. of that speaker. Not sure of the CP-2 listing. The top should come off. HF used a K-506 horn with a K-1132-8 compression driver. Two 15 inch (38cm) K-45-KP woofers, KP-4.5 network.

In my opinion, if you sit real close or aginst the back wall, RS............If you sit, say 3 feet or so from the back wall, RB. Which one? RB-51 should do if you go bookshelf. RS-51 if you go WDST

Welcome to the fun and madness........ 5650-S as sides about 5 feet off the floor, 5650-W's as back surrounds, you want wide dispersion on the sides. A direct sound from the rears seems better for all movies rather than a wide sound field in the back.....but it depends on how close to the back wall you will be sitting. Up against, use the 5650-S......several feet away? then 5650-W. Our THX Ultra2 was approved by THX to use directs in the rear, but you will see it done both ways....do to rear seat locations

From what you appear to be using listed in other posts, set all your speakers to small. Low pass on the sub at 120, this lets the yamaha us it's 80 Hz setting, phase at 0, not a problem to set the gain on the sub all the way up. But if you need more output from the sub, try a Y addapter into both the right and left line ins. It is an experiment to see what sounds the best in your room, play with the settings and location of your sub for best results

em, what I just posted are from Trey years ago, what I listed may be H II's, but they all should be the same

1 inch short of the L & W of the cabinet 1 inch tall in back , 2.5 inches in the front
