1st post here so be gentle My 5.1 HT setup has been a mix of products through the years, never a "matched" system all at once. I'm closer than I have ever been with an all Klipsch except for the SW now.
My Klipsch components are
RP-280
R-25C
R-14M
As you can see, I have Premiere LR and the Reference line for my center and surround. The center and surrounds were bought last year during Black Friday 1/2 price sale and were a nice bargain at that price, At that time I did not have (or plans for) the RP-280 LR. The R-14M were the limit in size for the WAF. I did not get WAF approval for the RP-280s, or they would not be here Honestly, everything seems to work well together. My AVR actually sets the 3 front speakers to 0dB so they seem good in that respect.
Here is the point of this thread. I wonder how much better a different CC would be? I was thinking about the RC 62II. I dont think that the RC 52II or RP 250C would be a significant enough upgrade over the R-25C to bother with. Even though they are upgrades in line, they are all the same 2x 5.25" & 1" tweeter config. I also dont want the wide 4 speaker versions. Here is another issue. Cosmetics of the speakers. The R-25C matches quite well (I leave the grills on all my speakers) with the RP-280s. The RC 62II looks like a different line of speaker. Can that grey strip on the bottom of the grill be removed? In the Reference line, the RF28 which is the nearest equivalent to the RP-280 uses the R-25C as the center, so it seems like an "acceptable" configuration. Since that is the only Reference level Center, I suppose that is understandable.
Browsing this forum, I know I am way out of my league with my config and post. There are folks here with RF7II as rear speakers. Crazy. Just looking for some input from the Klipsch experts
One last unrelated question. What is the minimum distance from the rear of the RP-280 to the wall?
Thanks!
