Wow. Ok. So what would a sealed design mean? Sorry I am very new at this.

Also the reason I decided on the 62 was very much because the dude at crutchfield was very specific that the sound stage had similar timbres and sound.
Ughhhh!

Yes and no. You will get some benefits with bass reflex with the ports being in the front, but you may also get benefits from plugging the port on the 450 to make it a sealed design. With the center, my thoughts would be the priority of the drivers matching as they pan across the front soundstage - the most active - would be much more important than bass response from a speaker that you're going to cross into the sub anyway.

If it were me, I'd say your better choice would be the RP-450C. That's not knocking the 62, as it's a phenomenal speaker, but the 450C will match better with your RP-150M's than the 62 will. The 450C uses the same drivers which will sound much better across your front soundstage.
Thank you. 440 and 450 were not really options. Mainly because my speaker is up against the wall and the back firing port has no room to “breathe” not my words.
Because the 62 has a front port that made more sense.
Right?

My fronts are RP-150. Just picked those up recently as an upgrade.
I was overall just wondering what your thiugts were on the speaker. Just installed it and it sounds great. Has a bit more bass but the crispness is fantastic.

Hey all, I had a R-25C as my center. I recently contacted crutchfield about an upgrade. They pointed me in the direction of a RC-62ii or a 440C. After about 40 minutes of talking with them we determined for my set up the 62 would work better as my center is mounted to the wall.
Wanted your guys thoughts on that? I’m excited to try it but I’m hoping I made a good choice.
My 25 just was lacking. It sounded meh. I wanted something a little more ballsy. I wanted Vader’s voice to boom at me.
Thoughts?

So sorry for your loss. I hope all the good memories help you and your family through this tough time.

Depending on how involved you want to get you can pull off the base board (assuming you have it) cut some of the drywall off if needed to make a recessed area for the wire then cover it up with the base board. Also, any chance to have access to the room from below like an unfinished basement? If so you might be able to drop the wires down, run as needed then come up between two studs in the wall and have a nice Decora/keystone wall pate and connections to end up with a finished look.
My hope was to drop it. But the family room was an addition and it’s on a freaking slab. No basement under that part. I was also hoping for a subfloor. Negative on that one too!
That’s a good call for the baseboard, didn’t think of that.

Once you get your speakers and determine the best sounding location for them, you might be able to bury them in the wall (flush mount them), and put grille cloth over them; grille the same color as the wall would make them almost invisible, or a contrasting color might make them look good. You might consider speakers that are meant for in-wall use. If you do, make sure they are wide dispersion, like Youthman says. Klipsch may make some that would work Don't go cheap, because it might be a big, disruptive job to replace them. Make sure the grille cloth made for speakers, so it is nearly acoustically transparent. Something like Audyssey will EQ your sound so the cloth is even more transparent. There are many online vendors, who will send you samples.
With small surrounds like that, determine the point at which the speaker is down 3 dB in the bass end (the F3 point), add a safety margin (go higher in frequency), and cross them over to the subwoofer there. Speakers that small often have a high optimum crossover, like 150 Hz.
Wow, this is great. Thank you sir!

That Chicago picture is just a regular canvas painting...I wonder if it acts as a sound absorber anyway? If not can you just add some foam behind it to make it one.
As as for the speakers....love them! I had people over because my wife passed the nursing exam and I put in IT....man everyone thought it sounded like s movie theater. That rain scene at the beginning is fantastic!
Great movie. Creepy that you bring this up now. This afternoon I was painting the baby’s room and the neighbor was outside.

Yes my Sarge follows me everywhere. Every speaker picture I post has him in it. That was the first day in my house and as you can see the first thing I did was set up the grill and install the speakers
Sounds perfect haha!

I sit close to the back speakers and my RS-52s do a great job on surround duty. You could probably get away with a pair of the new RP-240s if you wanted something smaller. Online Klipsch dealers have a much better price than retail.
If you wanted to go with a Synergy surround like youthman suggested an S-2 or s-3 would work. I do prefer the RS-52s to my old Synergy. Some photos for comparison
Thank you for your help! I love your pup. My cousin is a SWAT team member here in CT. He’s the only K-9 member as well. He’s got a German Shepherd- super smart. Opens the cruisers door himself.
Awesome set up too haha.

I just bought 50 feet of 12awg 100% ofc from Amazon for $23. Make sure you don't get the copper coated aluminum CCA junk.
My surround runs are both exactly 25' and that wire works perfectly.
Awesome. Thank you!

Lol. I was sold a bill of goods that it was wireless and full 5.1. It is technically wireless but yea...no thanks. Last time I move away from my Klipsch haha

Hey Justin, if your couch is near the wall, I would recommend some type of wide dispersion speaker. What are you using for front speakers? Do you have photos of your room you can share?
Totally. Thank you! Here it is. Ignore the sonos. They are coming down. Basically that’s where I’d like to put my tears though. I just don’t want anything that big if I can help it.

Hey guys. This has likely been beat to death, but I’m in need of some assistance.
I’m looking for some small satellite speakers as my reads in a 7.1 set up. Any recommendations? I don’t have a ton of room behind the couch as the wall is right there.
Any suggestions would be awesome.

@haydukejthank you very much! You know, go big or go home, haha. I'm seriously very overwhelmed with this whole thing. I got the SONOS because it fit my need at the time (or so I thought) and it was "wireless". Little did I know how limited it was with the optical cable.

Thank you! We do have carpet so I was thinking of running it right along the edge. The hearth actually runs the entire wall. It is basically an entire wall of brick fireplace (the fireplace is off center and it seriously drives my OCD crazy, haha). 12 gauge was what I was thinking as well, so I'm glad you said that.
Sorry I meant to ask one other question. If i want to go 7.1 instead of 5.1 and move my R-14 to be "sides". I was looking at the R-14S.. As that fits price range and one that Crutchfield absolutely recommended. Anyone have any thoughts on that? There's not much room between my couch and my wall so i'm worried about the sound.

Hey guys. New guy here. Here's a quick story and my ask. I currently have a SONOS 5.1. Sounds amazing when listening to music, but the 5.1 is not true 5.1 and Star Wars is severely lacking. So, I purchased a Sony 7.1 receiver, a pair of R-14M and a pair of R-15M, R-25C from Bestbuy. I also purchased an R-12SW. My father is an audiophile and loves his Klipsch so I figured start cheap but "good".
I'm hoping I made some good choices, haha. So my issue is when looking at my family room the TV is on the left wall. Straight ahead is a fireplace with hearth. Couch is on the right wall. I don't have the option of running in wall wire so I have to run wire around the room, under the hearth. Ugh. Any recommendations on gauge, or speaker type? Also what type of connectors? Banana plugs? I'm trying to lose as little quality as possible. I think we're talking maybe 25'.
Again I'm a noob, so forgive me!
