I don't know how far but I think you would be much better served getting these.

I am a bit biased but the RF-63's are fantastic for music and HT.  If Opus will not break up the package, then sell off what you don't want.  I think $1200.00 for the whole lot is an incredible deal.

Bill,

 

Are the rf-63's really gonna be that much better than the new rp-280?  I can get the rp-280s at my door brand new for $780.  What makes the 63s so much better?

 

 

Tim, what size and brand sub would you reccomend?

I have the same size room. The 260 is more than enough with a sub.

I really wasn't planning on using a sub if I didn't have to.  I'd like to keep this setup completely stereo.

Where is your location?  Are you open to the idea of used speakers?

I'm in Michigan and yeah I'm totally ok with used.

Jamalstevens,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Your room is on the large side so I would say definitely go with the RP-280F's if you are not planning to use a subwoofer.  If you are going to integrate a subwoofer, then the RP260F's will be just fine.

The room doesn't have to be bumping or anything, I normally sit about 8-9 feet from the speakers.  I currently have a pair of smallll paradigm atom v.1's in in the room and they make it plenty loud but just don't have enough body.

 

I have been one click away from the rp-280f's I just didn't want to overshoot it for the space when I could save $150 or so and spend it on some tubes

Hey all,

 

New to the forum (and klipsch) but I've decided to bite the bullet and go with a pair of klipsch floorstanders for my main stereo setup.  I plan on using them in stereo only and for music from my turntable or tidal HD streaming service.  I have a room about 16 x 24ish feet with 12 ft ceilings.  I'm wondering on whether or not I should save the money and go with the rp-260f's or spend the extra cash and go with the rp-280f's.  What do you all think?

 

Thanks!
