  1. Hands down I preferred the 62ii to the 450c. Matches aesthetically, voiced similar, front ported, larger woofers, larger horn. Just, in my opinion, a better center channel.

    You are not the first one who said that to me so, one point to the rc62ii...

    It seems that the new center channels are not better than the reference II ones.

  2. Hello everyone.

    I have used the search but no one had the same question.

    Today I went to a shop near my place to buy an RC-62II to be partner of my RF-82II.

    When I arrive I noticed that they already have the new klipsch line, the premiere one, which usually doesn't happen that quickly in my country.

    So the doubt came to my mind and google couldn't resolve it yet.

    What would be better to get, an RC-62II or and RP-450C?

    As far as I read the 450 replace de 62II, or its replacement is the 440 o 250?

    I don't want to buy something that doesn't combine with my floor standing speakers.

    I will appreciate your answers and if I missed a thread asking the same, please tell me.

    Thanks.

  3. Welcome to the forum.

    I used to have a Yamaha RX-A1030 (110W) driving a pair of RF-82II’s and eventually a pair of RF-7II’s in a small to medium sized room. I don’t really know how much the speakers or receiver could handle because the dB level would get uncomfortable (in 2ch Stereo mode) before reaching that point. Recently, I upgraded to a RX-A2050 (140W) still running RF-7II’s and have yet to push the receiver to its limits. My only complaints are that Yamaha took away the Audio In and the HD radio tuner that were on the 1030.

    Power wise, the RX-A3040 would be a good choice. However, long term I’d be wary because it is not HDCP 2.2-compliant and will not support copy-protected 4K video content. Meaning if you got a new TV or Bluray player in the near future they might not play well together. Just food for thought.

    I did not know that.

    So I will wait until the rx-a 3050 be available in my country to make the change.

    But at last what I don't completely understand is: if clipping comes out when you have a avr that handle less power that what needs the speaker and it happens with loud volume, as far as I read about it, why could be damage the speaker?

  4. JohnWick2016,

    Welcome to the forum.

    The RX-A1020 will not damage your RF-82IIs unless you are crazy with the volume knob and trying to fill a huge room with very loud dBs. With that said, the RX-A3040 is a newer flagship AVR with more features, better parts, and more power.

    Bill

    Great. Thank you for your answer.

    So I'm fine with it but if I can get the upgrade it would be better and I will have all my speakers potential?

    And one more question, perhaps you know.

    Sometimes with treble sounds I feel a bit of distortion, for example when I use my PS4.

    I set up DTS on the ps4 sound configuration.

    And about the avr I used the YPAO and nothing more, I didn't put my hands over the parametric eq.

    Could be a matter of settings? In that case where there is a topic or something in the forum that helps me to understand and use the eq?

    That's all, thank you.

  5. Hello everyone.

    My first time here, I think I have chosen the right place in the forum to ask.

    I have a pair of RF82 II and a Yamaha Aventage RX-A1020.

    Knowing that the 82 work with 150rms and my receiver have 110, to be exact: Rated Output Power (20Hz-20kHz, 2ch driven) 110 W (8 ohms, 0.09% THD).

    Can get damaged my rf82?

    Would you recommend me to get a Yamaha RX-A 3040 which has 150w per channel?

    Thank you.
