Wow, this is great! Thank you!

I'm located in Maryland, Eastern Shore.

You've got $500. You currently have a 2.0 channel using RB-35s as the mains running from a VSX822 receiver. You want better music audio - wife wants better movie audio. Needs to be a single system for both. What do you purchase next? A sub? Center? Mains? New receiver? The room is roughly 15'x20' if that matters... Try to be specific! I'm most certainly a novice when it comes to this stuff...

Haha I was just going to say you should come down and explore Assateague Island; it's the perfect time of year to walk the national seashore!! I live 5 minutes from the Island entrance. -

Would the RP series sound good with the RB-35s I have? What would shipping cost? Don't imagine you'll be in Maryland anytime soon?! -
I currently own a set of RB-35s. I'd like to build up my audio with a set of fronts and a center to compliment these. I know I probably need a good sub as well. Would like to keep total cost below $500 if possible. Also, I live on Eastern Shore of Maryland - Would prefer the speakers to be local, drop-off or picked up (I'm willing to drive a few hours if the deal is right) Let me know what you have! I'm still learning so if you offer I may do some research or post another thread in the HT to make sure the speakers will work for my setup. Thanks for your patience with me and consideration in the sale! Cheers, Logan

My name is Logan- live in Berlin, MD but have family in and around Baltimore/DC area. I'll check the links you posted. Thanks!!!

I can't seem to find any of the old Refence II series speakers anywhere... I'd love to just complete my Reference 35 set, but that's 10 years old now. I'm gonna keep looking for an RC62ii and some RF62ii towers. Even these are difficult to locate. Big question though. The more I read the less I understand... My current receiver is a Pioneer VSX822k. I want to upgrade this as well; I don't have a remote and it's lacking features like bluetooth. If I end up with my complete 5.1 setup: RC62ii RB35 RF62ii R-115 SW How do I match an AVR to this? I'm lost with the talk about matching wpc and output... Will any modern 5.1 AVR suffice? When do you need to add an amp with the AVR? thanks again for the help?
-
Agreed. I'd image if you stacked them on top of each other the weight could potentially warp them? I store mine vertical in sleeves and so do all my friends and the stores around me.
-
This is great. Thank you! I'll look around for an RC-62. I'll also give Acoustic Sounds Design a call and see what the deal with that R-115SW is. Since I have the RB-35s already, I might try to get a Center first, then a sub, then look for towers later on to move the RBs to the back of the room. I notice now when watching action movies that I have to turn up the volume for dialogue and turn it way down when any explosions or anything happen. I assume the center channel will help balance this out? This site is a great resource so far. I'll keep reading! Thanks again!
-
Thanks!! Any chance you can suggest a "Matching" center channel? How about the RC-52ii? Also considering the RP 440c; is that overkill? I was looking at 12" subs, but I'll also consider the 15". Thanks again!
-
Thanks for the advice! 1. Is the RP 440c overkill, paired with the RB-35s I have now? 2. Is the R-12SW sufficient, assuming I'll upgrade the mains later on and use the 35s for surround? 3. What would be good mains to replace the 35s, assuming I went with the center and sub advised above? Thanks again for the help! I'm reading as much as I can on these forums, a bit overwhelming... It will be our first home so there are definitely other things that money will need to go to, but I'd love to slowly start building up our system. We're overdue for hosting parties and events. Cheers!

I totally agree with the 'start slow and gradually buy what I want for the end goal' mentality... I was tempted to buy a Quintet system, but figured I'd just get the itch for something better soon after. What a good mains to start with? Are R-15M still too small, even if I added a 10" sub? What about the RP-250F ? I am not sure I'll sell the wife on big towers ($$$$), she might also want a fairly unobtrusive system. Any suggestions?! I'm so lost on where to start, especially if I'll need to sell the RB-35s and start from scratch. Which it sounds like... ^^^

My wife and I are closing on our house in 3 weeks! I need advice on how to setup our Home Theater... We've been in an apartment for 3 years now, my current setup is a 2-channel with RB-35 bookshelf speakers. They sound great and worked for the tiny room they were in. The new family room will be 20' x 15' and has a vaulted ceiling (not sure on the height?) I'd like to eventually setup a 5.1, but I don't have the funds to do that right away. I have the 2 RB-35s, and my receiver is a Pioneer VSX822. Nothing wrong with the receiver, though I would really like to add bluetooth to our HT. What should my first steps be? Are the RB-35s going to be sufficient in the future? Is this a decent receiver (minus my desire for bluetooth)? I was thinking about investing in a high quality Center Channel first, but figured the community here could help. Thanks!

Hello community~ I have a set of RB-35s that I received as a gift almost 10 years ago. I love these speakers and they do the job for my little apartment. However, I want to get them off the floor!!! I know, rookie mistake already, bookshelf speakers on the floor... What am I thinking! Well working full-time and just getting out of college I have a lot more on my mind then building speaker stands, until now that is. I'm about to build two speaker stands with shelving underneath for the misses... I need help determining the height?! I'm assuming there are people out there who know how to optimize speaker height... % above ear level? Room dimensions matter? I figured they'll sound better off the floor regardless. Just if I'm building these from scratch, I'd rather do it right the first time... We have vaulted ceilings if that matters. Thanks for reading and any input you all may have!! -Logan

Nice center! I want it... -
Thanks to everyone for responding! This is a great community, very active!

I'm building this thing piece by piece hahaha. Like all of my projects, they tend to complete themselves in phases... I like it though, honestly. If I were to buy everything in one day and set it up and be done with it (not that I could afford doing this) I feel like I wouldn't be able to fully appreciate each and every component. Now, buying each piece/set individually really allows me to discover the benefit of adding the next component! I'm starting with a 2.0 channel... I'm excited to watch (hear) it evolve to 3.0; 4.0; 5.1... and so forth.... I think 5.1 is my threshold
-
This is good info... Unfortunately I bought the receiver as a display model a few years back for only 30% of the ticket price... So with a great steal, I also didn't get a manual or remote. So programming the settings on this thing is nearly impossible. I've got it set to Direct and Stereo ALC. It sounds okay, but It will have to do for now until my wallet supports the idea of a new receiver. That being said, I have a copy of the manual I downloaded online. But I cannot do much without the remote. I've found remotes for about 50$ online, but it's not worth it to me right now. Still deciding whether 5.1 is enough for me to max out... I don't think I need 7 speakers lol, at least not now in my life.

@CECAA850 Thanks for all the help! I'm gonna shop around for a good center to use with the RB-35s I have. Any suggestions? I see that Klipsch no longer makes the RC-35 center which would match my series... They do have a RC25 and an RC42 though...
