Thanks. never would have thought of that.  My wife calls me clueless.

Thanks @tasdom. I would not have thought of that but you are right.

Thansk @wvu80 I have about a $1,000 budget.  Purely home theater.  I have wondered about Dolby Atmos and 4K issues.

OK a huge thanks to all of you again.  So I just contacted the guy with the RF-7 speakers.  He lives 100 miles away but offered to deliver them.  And in our emails, he seems to know what he is doing.  SO I guess that this makes me a Klipsch guy.

@Youthman that was crazy helpful, but now you have me confused.  You have different receivers for different speakers.  How am i going to figure that one out?  I gather that different pairings work better, so I will just have to seek some advice when I get the speakers.  Given the LaScala price, I am thinking that the logical thing is the RF-7 towers and RC 64-II center.  So I am in at $1800  and sill need the surrounds.  

 

I think the RP-240S and RP-250S are out, and I see a R-14S at $250 per pair, the RS-42 ii for $350 per pair, or the  KS-525-THX at $800 per pair.  Not a clue what makes sense here.  Any ideas?

 

And any receiver suggestions for  the RF-7, RC 64 ii, ?? setup?

Thanks guys that was helpful.  Does it matter what version they are?

[Thanks for the help everyone, need a bit more]

First I just want to say thanks for all the help I have been given here.  What an informed and helpful group.

 

I have a ten year old home theater system with a 60 inch plasma and Paradigm Millennia speakers.  Moving to a 75-86 inch LCD and want some speakers with more presence.  You guys have convinced me that Klipsch makes sense.  I am not after perfection here, just a good system for my wife and kids.  I don't even watch TV.

 

Right now on Amazon, I could get a "used, like new" system consisting of 2 RP-280FA towers, a RP-450CA center and two RS-62 II surrounds for under $2,100.  That seems like a no brainer.  I know tat the surrounds are a different series, but what I have read here, it seems like mixing those works.  

 

The options I have are:

 

Towers:   RP 280FA for $500 or RF-7 II locally for 500 (each)

 

Center:  RP-450CA for $500, RC-62 II for $300, or RC-64 II for $800

 

Surrounds: RP-240S for $400, RP-250S for $600,  or KS-525-THX for $800 (pair)

 

Any thoughts on the best mix of these? The standard is a noticeable difference, not something subtle.  Thanks again.

[General thoughts on Klipsch for HT?]

I am in the process of updating my home threater system after doing nothing for a decade. I have an old Denon AVR 2807 receivr and a 60 inch Pionerr 1080p plasma.  My speakers are Paradigm Millenia and generally great speakers, but I was intrigued with the atmos thing.  I was wondering if anyone had experience with going from audiophile speakers to Klipsch for home theater.  As much as I like the Millenia, they don't have much oomph. I most just want clear dialog.  Thanks for any suggestions.

[Does anyone else find the website irritating]

Hi all, I am trying to get a set of Klipsch speakers for the TV.  I have found the website difficult to navigate, and I have given up on finding a package built with the R-26FA.  I would have thought they would let us make our own packages.  Oh well.  I made it here.
