Thanks. My SuperZeros are bigger speakers than anyone I know has. So I don't have to worry about that. I can't stay off the internet that's why I bought my PC12+ after being relatively satisfied with my Def Tech. Like I said, I have 60 days to decide if the 52s are keepers. Either way for the foreseeable future the RC-500 and RS-400s will stay (if I like the Klipsch in my room)

If they perform like I expect them to in relation to my Super Zeros I don't think I'll be looking to upgrade (at least for a year ) By then I'll be wanting to add another PC12+, a more powerful amp/AVR, some front heights, a projector and 110" 2:35 wide screen and a "keezer" with the taps right next to my seat so I don't have to get up for a refill.

Thanks all! But I ignored all your advice and bought a Bose. For only $4000 The bass module smokes my PC12+ Of course just kidding. I did go ahead and order the RF52s from Crutchfield. 60 day trial and free return if I want. I also ordered the RC-500 and RS-400 surrounds from Amazon. All should be in this week. If I'm not satisfied I can return all for little to no cost and change up to the RF62s and no center as suggested. I have a feeling I'll be more than satisfied as I'm 90% satisfied now with just my little Super Zeros. I'm have a hard time imagining NOT being totally satisfied with the full Klipsch setup. It's as big or bigger a difference as when I upgraded my sub. I mean how can it not be a HUGE upgrade. 6 5.25" woofers and three compression drivers in horns versus 3 4" woofers and 3 soft dome tweeters with an 85db efficiency rating and I cannot run blu-ray MA at more the -5db. Not to mention the doubling of "woofage" in the surrounds. It should sound amazing (to me). My only concern is whether I will like the Klispch for music. The last time I listened to some at a BB Magnolia about 3 years ago, I didn't care for them that much for music. I'm hoping it was the room, setup etc...or they will grow on me. No matter, I have a nice long trial with the RF52s. I will be able to tell within a week how I like them. Thanks again for the nice comments and helpful responses. I'll be sure to post my findings and my "review" when I have them setup and have watched a few movies and listened to some music.

Thanks for the replies. I do frequent audio forums, hence me "need" for the PC12+, which I don't regret one bit. A huge improvement, well more than huge, compared to the overpriced Def Tech sub it replaced. Lot to think about, so I'll step back and take some time to mull things over. Chew on your advice. I'd hate to want to upgrade in a year, again. So maybe by the end of the month there will be some good sales and I'll have figured things out better. Mahalo nui loa!

Thanks again. We just built and moved in last year to our new house. Not going anywhere for quite some time. The RC62 is too big for where I can put it for now. That may change in the future if I go to a projector. Currently using a 70" sharp and the center needs to go on a center stage bracket on top the TV. Limit is about 25 lbs. I already plan on getting the RC500 and RS400 surrounds. I know the RF52s match the center better so.................and they'll have a little more output too.

Really? I find the room to be kind of small. For blu-rays with MA I rarely go above -10db even with my little SuperZeros. At that point I'm in the low 90db range at the LP. Which seems kind of loud. Loud enough I have a hard time talking to my wife sitting next to me. I just can't imagine how loud a pair of 62s would go. Thanks for the info. I've got some mo tinkin to do

Would that include the RF52s? I ask because of the two you recommended the RB61s. I'm sooooooooo confused. I'm going to be ordering tomorrow. Personally I'm leaning towards the RF52s.

Thanks scrappy- but I already knew that very few offer free shipping to Hawaii. And the shipping is STEEP. So it negates any potential savings. Crutchfield has the cherry 62s for 800/pair. They just seem like they would be too big for my room. The good thing with Crutchfield is I can try the 61s and if for whatever reason they don't work out I can send them back for a couple of dollars or free. I also have 60 days for the trial period. I'm pretty sure the 61s will be enough for me though. And $300 is $300

Aloha! I'm looking to upgrade my HT and am having a hard time deciding between the two. Will be paired with the RC500 and RS400 surrounds (the "limited" edition rebadged version 4 RF speakers). Room size is 13x14x9 sealed if wanted. LP is about 9ft, sub is SVS PC12+, AVR HK 1600. Currently running 5 NHT SuperZeros. Which I really like and actually have sufficient volume (most of the time). They do tend to get drowned out by the sub during really bass heavy movies and for some music lack volume and again can't keep up with the sub. So I want something with more mid-upper bass punch, more dynamics and that can better keep up with my sub. More clarity from the center too. Mostly TV and movies. Music is mostly blues and jazz with the occasional hard rock or metal moments. Nothing is available locally. So I'm looking at the cherry versions from Crutchfield, $399 for the RB61s plus $50-$90 for stands and $550/pair for the RF52. I live in Hawaii so I shop at Crutchfield and Amazon because shipping is just crazy $$$$ if not. Which option is the better buy and which would be better for my needs? Mahalo
