Greetings,
I'm pretty sure there is already a discussion about this because I have seen it before, but for some reason I can't find it by searching this time. So I thought I'd give my story and ask.
I am currently building a system for my living room/ home theater. I don't have a dedicated room for a HT so hence my description of "living room/ home theater." I have been thinking about building this system for years, well more like dreaming. But I didn't have my own house. Well I moved in my house about a year ago and have been buying furniture and slowly getting things in order. I also have been saving money and buying HT components slowly to build this dream of mine. When I initially thought about it 2 years ago I was in the debate with myself between the Reference RF-82II and the RF-7II. I used to love the RF-83's but once they got discontinued I was trying to find them but could not get any in my area. So the battle of the RF-82II and the RF-7II began. I researched and asked on forums and finally decided that I was going with the RF7II. Along with the RC64II and (4) RS-62II for my back and side surrounds. So far I have purchased but have not installed, the RC-64II, and the (4) RS-62II. I have NOT purchased the RF-7II yet. But I plan on doing that in a month or 2. But ever since this "NEW" line called the Reference Premiere System with the new design came out I am now in the debate again.
I like the fact that they are a tiny but smaller. Making it easy to fit places. But in a way I love the massiveness of the RF-7II and RC64II as well. The rear surrounds are a lot smaller and weigh a lot less, which is a big plus for me. But the design of them look a little weird to me. So I just wanted a little opinion from you guys so I can keep my mind in the right direction. Because I am always 2nd gueing myself. Should I sell what I have and get the new Reference Premiere? Or should I just buy the RF-7II and complete my system as is like I had planned? I remember reading on a thread once that someone said, "If you have the money go with the Reference II, but if you need to compromise go with the new system. Well I can afford the RF-7II. So thats not the issue.
What would you do if you were in my situation? If you were in my shoes. Based off the info I provided. Thanks
Richard
