I'm not a fan of the looks of the older speakers Haha but sound comes first. I've opened up and started looking at craigslist for Hersey's. There are plenty around here since I'm only 2 hours from Hope, AR where they were/are handmade. How do the Hersey's sound so good if they sit below ear level?

I really wanna buy some nice speakers like you guys are talking about but getting brand new RF-28's under warranty for $360 instead of the MSRP of $900 is a deal. I'm a senior in college and this is my first system build. I feel like it will be better to start with these now and no debt and then buy some Reference's or better once I get the down payment on my house under my belt. I'm only 3.5 hours from KC!

I think I am going to do 2 KF-28's for the front, KC-25, and a SW-450 for right now. Then I'll add the rear two speakers when I decide what is best for surround sound. I really wanted 4 speakers that were mountable. The 2 KF-28's, KC-25, and SW-450 will cost: about $650 Either that, or go with a 5.1 Definitive Technology 1000 series 5.1 setup. The Def Tech setup will cost: $800. The def tech setup won't come with tower speakers like the Klipsch setup and that worries me due to your responses. I've read online that the Def Tech will be a warmer sound where the Klipsch setup will be a more detailed sound. I feel like I would like the detailed sound better due to the games I play and stuff.

thewillienelson, You still haven't stated a budget you want to spend on speakers yet... Have you considered buying used so that you can get better speakers for the money you have to spend, AND, are you open to starting with just two speakers (depending on your budget) if it will get you a lot better sound than the surround setups you are looking at??? Roger About $800 just for speakers and sub. Without wiring or anything else. Assume that I get 50% off to make that amount seem reasonable. Thanks, Nelson

I work at a retailer and I'll just come out and say that I get a discount. Haha I'm also looking at the Definitive Technology 1000 series after testing the 2 at my store.

Arkansas. And they would be against the wall in my apartment.

Thanks for the quick responses y'all. I realize you are supposed to spend more on speakers, but I got this receiver at a deal. Brand new for $800 so that's why I went high-end. The budget isn't an issue right now. I just want to make sure I make a purchase that will last and I'll be happy with for a while. I've heard the kf's are really good starters then add to it later with some rear speakers. If I go that route, what would be the best read speakers for surround sound?

So, I'm doing my first theater setup and would like some suggestions. I have already ordered a Denon X4000 for the receiver based on what I want. I am certain I want Klipsch speakers as well. This will be in my apartment bedroom for another year and then I will be purchasing a house and it will go in the living room at that time. Currently, the only hookup will be my Xbox One; however, I plan on expanding later with the house and that's why I went with the X4000. It will be equally used for video games, movies, and music. Based on that information, someone recommended that I go with 4 KB-15's (front and surrounding), KC-25 center, and the SW-450. After looking around, the Quintet system looks interesting due to being able to mount the speakers. I am looking to purchase this week so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
