Na this is a solid tv console. I'm really lucky to be looking at floor speakers regarding the wife approval. I don't want to push my luck with the wife and start talking about altering the furniture or the way the furniture sets. Worse case is I have to step down to the RF 42 ii which would be a thinner speaker.

Ok it seems like I have wife approval to move from a bookshelf speaker purchase to floor speakers. What is the exact width of the RF 52ii including the back feet which are off set to the side of the cabinet? I will have exactly nine inches on each side of a tv console. There is no room for error as that nine inches cannot be extended due to a fire place extending from the wall on one side and a wall on the other side of the tv console.

The shop had the whole reference lineup. When I was there I did not look at the 61s because of their size. They did have some really small speakers I want to say something like a g series? I don't remember their pricing nor did I listen to those. The idea for me would be those tiny cube looking speakers that I have seen from time to time, but I doubt they could put out the sound these bookshelfs can.

Its a new construction house. I don't have pictures, though I might be able to swing by there this weekend and snap a few. The house is a 2200 squ foot four bed room house. The living room where this is going is fairly large and opens up into the kitchen which is directly behind the living room. Also, the living room and kitchen have very tall ceilings. My budget is $700 out the door for the two bookshelf and center speakers. I would like to support local the local av shop here. The price they quoted me: RB 52 pair $349 RC 52 center $299 RB 42 pair $279 RC 42 center $199 The wife factor is huge here. She is fine with the built in tv speakers. Floor speakers are out the question. The best I can get away with is two decent looking and smallish bookshelf speakers setting on each side of the tv on the tv console. The center speaker I can fit onto one of the tv console shelves much like a dvd player would and the sub will sit on the floor beside the tv console. I know I will never fill the room with sound the way I want with all my constraints. However, I like to play 50's/60's/70's music so the kids can grow up with quality tunes and want to enjoy a movie every now and then. Very casual but also want to get the best bang of the buck so to speak.

Is it possible to use the avr to adjust the mains down to match the center during movies. With music I would not use the center and let the mains run free.

Avr is a Yamaha 675 Sub is a klipsch sw 350 8 inch sub System is 50/50 music and movies I would love the larger center speaker but cannot swing the size. But I could swing the larger book shelf speakers. Would the smaller center still match ok with the larger bookshelf speakers? I'm afraid the a smaller center would be outplayed by the larger book shelfs.

I have a SW 350 sub and looking to add two book shelf speakers for the mains and a center speaker. After store viewing and listening I have found the entry level reference speakers the right fit expense and size. The biggest issue I have the size of the center speaker. The center speaker for the rb 52 book shelf speakers is to big, flat out no way I can get this speaker. The center that matches the rb 42 book shelf speakers would fit. How bad would it be if I used the 42 level center with the 52 lvl book shelf speakers? I'm I better off just going with the smaller 42 book shelf speakers and 42 center speaker? I can fit the larger book shelf but cannot swing the size their matching center. The point is that I often hear people say matching sets is very important.
