Hi everybody,
For context, I use for years an old first price Philips stereo system (<$ 70 new) to replace the speakers of my TV, and because of some of you I will join the Klipsch family in a few days.
Last week I was in my new living room which is under renovation (uninhabited since 1950, 15'x20' open on the dining room for a total of 270square foot), and a lightning flash crossed me : "Why not make a projection & HIFI room?".
The next day, in my madness, all of sheath were in place for 11.2.
After that, I visited 4 audio store. But the "Home Theater" is not really in the culture of my country, I had more erroneous information than useful information. So i ran in Internet, and i found Klipsch mark (never heard before that).
At this time I was thinking of a simple system for $ 500 to begin .. but the coppery beast caught me and eat all of my soul. Thank's to many of you for that and @Youthman for videos .. grrr not cool !
I was watching RF7 with attention.
Result, last wednesday I validated an order to begin in 5.1 :
- RP-280F x2 for front (reason came back to me)
- RP-450C for central
- RP-240S x2 for surround
- R-115SW
- Yamaha A2070
- a lot of audio cable (... I never imagined that it could cost so much)
Few hours after that, after reading that RP-280F are not really HIFI speakers and by re-losing the reason, i add a pair of RF7-III in this pack.
So, :
- RF7-III x2 for front
- RP-450C for central
- RP-240S x2 for surround
- R-115SW
- Yamaha A2070
- (And the RP-280F for another room, dining room probably with zone 2)
Questions ! (sorry if they have been asked but I have not found anything)
But I can still change my order and i don't want to make a mistake.
1) I'm afraid the pack is unbalanced, that RF7 III does not match with RP-450 and RP-240, but i'm out of money now hahaha. Can they match ?.. or which choice is preferable ?
2) Surrounds will be behind the sofa at a distance of about 6,5' and spaced from each over 16,5'. I'm afraid (again) the sound is too diffuse with RP-240S.
Should I rather use RP-160s? (or other?).
3) Is there an end to the Klipsch madness ?
I thank you in advance for the answers !
