I'm making a 2 channel stereo listening setup for a relatively small bedroom. I have RF-82 II towers in my living room that I absolutely love, and I'm trying to get that same sound in a smaller room. I'm leaning towards the RB-61 II because the room is quite small, and I worry that the RB-81 II's will be too much for the small room. On the other hand, I'm concerned that the RB-61 II's won't have the same dynamic, vibrant sound that I like in my RF-82 II's and I would need the RB-81 II's to get closer to that sound.
Can anyone who has heard these speakers comment on how the RB-61 II compares to the RB-81 II? Or even better, can anyone comment on how either of these speakers will compare to the RF-82 II? I'm really mostly interested in whether they can recreate the forward, vibrant sound from the RF-82 II. In particular, acoustic guitars just sound absolutely fantastic on the RF-82 II's, like they're right there in the room with you and you can really hear each string in the guitar, etc.
I know the only real way to figure this out is to try both and see which one I like more. Unfortunately, it's pretty inconvenient for me to audition both. I would have to order them and then send back the ones that didn't work. I could do that, but I always feel guilty about buying things knowing that I'm probably just going to send it back. Plus it's a hassle.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you all have.
