Hello! I'm looking to buy a better center channel. I plan on updating my front speakers as I come across them for home theater. (Another debate for later) Which one is better long-term?

Got it Bill!

I have a KV1, haven't bought the RC-62 yet-everyone agree that is the right center channel? I'll start watching all the websites for it....

Yes, my VF36's look like the top ones. I'm glad I didn't pay a lot- ($100). Can they be surround speakers, or should I put them on Facebook marketplace? I think I should buy the best Center I can for the money, knowing I'll upgrade the RF62's later....

Is the RC-62 worth $250? The RC3 is $100 less..

Thanks Youthman! I am jaded by all the bigger, shiny center channels out there in Craigslist land. I understand the center channel should match the front speakers, but shouldnt I buy the best cneter channel money can buy (value) in case I upgrade fronts? I have a Paradigm CC370 found or a RC3 II Klipsch. i was ready to pull the trigger on one of these...

ONKYO TX-NR 1010 is the reciever. Basement about 12 feet wide, back a cove (cement with insulation on the left, wood studs/drywall on the right. The RC3 II isn't right? Thanks for the reply, I would have another speaker that makes no sense!

Hello! I found this community in the nick of time! I have been buying Klipsch from craigslist in Chicago, and am getting myself into trouble. I am buying speakers I don't know anything about, and now that I have all the spots filled, the sound is not correct. I have a KV1 center, matched with RF62's. I also picked up some VF36's for a song and have them as surround speakers. I have 1.1's as rears. I want the center to have more vocals, and have found a RC3 II for $140. Will that work? Please someone help me from buying the wrong Center. As far as a pecking order, how are the RF62's and VF36's? Should I continue to look for something better? Please and THANKS!
