  1. Hi all i finally have my 5.1 set up. My center channel is an RC 64II. I love the sound but want to enhance the highs a bit. I was looking to add a Foster Super Tweeter. Has anyone done this with success? I typically see these super tweeters set up in pairs on the Front Left and Right channels, would you still use a center in this configuration? Should I add them to the center channel instead? Thanks in advance for any advice.
  2. Hi Garryrc the Audtssey link is dead do you have another I can reference?
  3. Hi All i just received my Marantz SR6011. I allowed the ABR to run its speaker set up. Once completed it sounded good but I went into the setting to find it set the front and center speakers to “Large”. Everywhere I read that this is wrong so I set the speakers to “Small”. I was very disappointed with the results after changing the speakers from Large to Small. I also read that the crossover should be set to 80htz. I know my front and center speakers have response of about 50htz on the low end, should I adjust the crossovers to the lowest setting of each individual speaker or put them all at the THX remended 80htz? Thank you.
  4. Ok so I had to look up timbre because I never heard of it before. I told you am new to this. I think you meant RC 62II, but I get the point. Well the RC62II is considerably cheaper than the RC64ii so I am go that way for now. Thanks.
  5. Thanks wvu. Would you bi amp the font left and right? I see that the Marantz can do this. Also I was looking at the Klipsch RC-64 II and the RP-450C. I was going to go for the RC-64 ii because you could bi amp it, but most everything I read on the bi amping the center says its a waste. I saw that it have 4 subs so I thought the bi amp would really make them pop. Taking Bi Amping out of the picture for the center I think the RP-450C would be sufficient would you agree?
  6. Hi All i found the Marantz SR6011 which I believe is last years model for a good price. Below are the specs. This AVR was recommended in this thread and appears to have everything I need to power my system. Please let me know if it you disagree with this purchase. Thank you in advance for you help.

  7. Oh one more question. I have been reading about external amps and crossovers is any of this necessary if I get a good AVR?
  8. Hi All thanks for all the info. My room is 20 x 30. My tv is centered on one of the 20, walls. The back of my sofa is 9, away from the tv. I was thinking about setting up the surround sound and rear speakers on pedestals and placing them 12” away from either side and behind the sofa. I would like to have a 7.2 setup so I will be adding subs but I have not picked those out yet. WVY80 thanks for correcting my placement of the RB and RS speakers I guess I had them swapped.
  9. Hi All i am new to Klipsch. I have heard great things and am looking to buy the following; 2- RF-62II for left and right side of the tv 97dB 500w 8 Ohms 2 - RB 61 II for surround left and right 95dB 400w 8 Ohms 2 - RS 62 II rear left and right 97dB 600 w 8 ohms 1 - RC 62 Ii 98dB 600W 8 ohms First question I have is the Watts don’t match up is this an issue when trying to get peak performance from each speaker. I am trying to get the most out of the set so I want make sure that an AVR will be able to compensate for the different Watts and apply the proper wattage to keep them all level. Second question the dBs are not exactly the same will this be an issue when gaining peak per menace? I hear that optimal dB is 107 for THX which I would like to achieve. If the ohms don’t match up will the AVR get the higher Oms speaker to 107 while the lower ones will only go to 105? Or, will the AVR bring them all to an equal playing field? Third question. The speakers I chose I think are all a set so the watts and dBs should all be compatible please let me know if I am wrong. If necessary please make a suggestions to the list of groceries above as I have only purchased the RF-62 II, so this is my base line. please suggests and AVR that has the power to achieve the 107dBs I am trying to obtain. My budget is about 700,. I will need convincing to raise my beget so please let me know if this is not sifficiemt. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Everything I know is from google and YouTube so feel free to educate me on any of the above.
