sweet dude. congrats

At least two happy campers here!!LOL

Just purchased some RF-62ii from a member. White elephant found!! Thanks to all for your valuable input!! It is a real pleasure to communicate with such nice people.

scrappy nice thread. I read most of it but I didn't see your final opinion after all tuned in. Maybe I just missed it. sounds like your really pleased with the subs. If you didn't post your findings after getting settled in with them I would like to know your final thoughts. Thanks

Thank you Sancho!!

Thanks to all for the input. I am going to try and find a good deal on RF-62ii if I can't I will settle for the RB's. Now I know "bigger horn bigger sound". Got it!! You guys rock!!

Thanks guys. Youthman what is the smaller one?

Thanks Scrappy and my kids love Scooby as well. I do have enough space for the rears and the avr is a Yamaha rx-a 1020. I think it might have enough power, at least to get started with. Your logic about the towers was what I was thinking, no shelves, no stands, about the right height and maybe just a little added base. I was really worried I had messed up buying the RC-7 but you guys have pretty much eliminated any of those concerns. Do you have any preference of RF-62ii's or 52's? Thanks again for your input.ive owned the 52's also. The 52 horn is much smaller. I'd even take 61's over them cause of the larger horn. Now if you were doing full range with no sub in a two channel I would take a tower over a bookshelf HOWEVER you aren't so go with a 6x size for that larger horn. I have some comparison pics I can post later tonight of the towers if you'd like. Hey Scrappy would really like to see those photos

Thank you Wake that is good to know. You didn't even nibble on building another ib sub (LOL) real nice job on yours though.

Wake I just read your HT build thread. Very nice work and thank you for your input. Maybe someday I can come to your shop and we can build a nice ib sub that I can carry back to Central America. LOL I did fail to mention that we are missionaries and live in CA. We do drive back to the states once a year and that's when I pickup the goodies for the fam. Matter of fact we'll be there in just a couple of weeks. As my job description might imply funding is always an issue. That's why it will be a year or so before the 7's can happen. I have to save, save, save. It is reassuring that the RC-7 works so well. Just proves God can bless even an idiot like me. HAHA! The sub was just purchased off of ebay and I haven't even auditioned it yet, it is still in Texas waiting for me to pick it up. It will just have to do until I can get by your place to build the sub . That is after you build youthman his..... I am originally from the Atlanta area. Maybe sometime this winter your buddy youthman can help me find a sweet deal on the RF-7ii's. Buy the way youthman I've been to your neck of the woods many times and not just to Disney. But really you guys have been so helpful and I very much appreciate it. So for now I would still like to get some rears and would appreciate any suggestions towards that end. I'm really relieved to know that the RC will work. Does yours have any mods or is it stock? Thanks again and hope you guys enjoy the wakeboarding this summer!!

BTW my room size is 15 x 16 and I am open to consider any other possible options. Cheers

Hi All, I am methodically building a HT with second duty as 2 channel. I have purchased new RS-52 ii, a used RC-7, Boston Acoustics 12" sub and currently have some old large Cerwin-Vegas as temporary fronts. After reading Youthmans and other reviews I intend to purchase RF-7 ii in about a year. From what I understand I will need to get a different center channel later or is it possible to upgrade the RC-7 to match? I suppose the newer generation RC matches much better, correct? At the moment I looking to buy my rears as HT is the primary goal for me and the family. I've looked at RB-61 ii but I think I would like a little more bass in the back. What do you think of RF-62 ii's for the rear? Thanks again from a newb.

Thank you youthman that is precisely the type of input I was looking for. I hope you enjoy your new sound. Thank you and Dean for this excellent project:) All the best

youthman, great thread. would really like an update now that you have had the upgrade for a while. do you still think a little treble needs to be added? did the upgrade provide better sound overall or was it pretty much a wash? I guess the big question still looming is would spend the extra $$$ on your speakers to achieve what you have now versus what you had before? deang, kudos to you for trying an experiment in public. that takes guts. I will be contacting you for advice on some of my stuff. that is if you have time(lol). there is no second guessing that you do excellent work with great results. I wish I could have experienced this comparison first hand. all the best to both of you

Thank you so much. I'm on the hunt for a newer set of RS's. By the way my new receiver is a RX-A 1020.

Thank you to all. I am relieved and can now focus on the RS's. What a huge help you all have been Glad this forum exists with helpful and nice people. I'll be sure and post up once the equipment is installed and operating. Do you guys have a preference of RS-52's versus RS-62's or some other older RS? Here is what I've purchased to date Pany VT60, Yammy RV-A1020, Klipsch RC-7, 1-Boston Acoustics PV800 sub and painted the HT room a dark green. Still to come in this phase are room treatments and surrounds. Phase two will be the RF-7's while in the mean time my old Cerwin Vegas stand guard at right and left channel.

Thanks guys. That's why I wanted feedback. The Yammy is still in the box. Purely based on what I've read that Yamaha was too bright for the Klipsch. I used own a Yamaha separate back in the day and it was a really clean amp but I didn't own Klipsch then either I had Bose 901's. Then the whole bipole dipole thing and many people said the RS series would create lag and disproportionate sound. I originally thought RS might be the way to go. Also a lot of the signatures from some senior members here, they would have the direct speakers. The jury is still out. Please tell me more. Me likes it!!

It appears RB-35's may be a viable option?

Same old question but different newbie . I am starting an HT project and would like some advice and as always any comments you may have. What would you recommend to more or less future proof my rear surrounds? I have a RC-7 and looking at RB-61's, RB-81's and RB-75's. After my research I would prefer the 75's but they are kind of a white elephant. I only plan to use them for movies not music and I plan to purchase RF-7's in the future. Second thing for comments, How bad did I mess up? I needed an AVR to start with and ended up buying a new Yamy RV-A1020, then I started reading this forum to discover it probably isn't the preferred equipment. I bought Brand new in the box from an authorized dealer for $699 to my front door. I just couldn't resist. Thanks in advance for your input.
