The pictures on Best Buy's website indicate that they have a keyhole mount on the back. I should of looked on this website first. How am I supposed to mount these to the wall now? I drilled into some cheap Insignia speakers for my basement and it worked just fine, I don't want to do that for these unless someone says it's ok.

In your case, you're using the R-28F, the entry level speaker that Klipsch offers
Wish I would of done more research before I bought these, I went into Best Buy and spent the most I could on speakers to try and get the best sound. Now that I keep reading these comments it puts me in a shitty mood. The R-25C seems small compared to the size of my R-28F's, would the 250c match or is it not worth paying more for it? Looks like I'll have to save and upgrade in the future, for now I've been very happy with my setup, I guess that's all that matters.

I've decided to pull the trigger on a center channel. I have a pair of R-28F's and I've been thinking about an RC-62 center. Problem is I cant figure out for the life of me what cones match my R-28F's for color, is it the RC-62 or the RC-62 II's?

That’s the main reason I upgraded from my Best Buy Synergy....the dialog from the center was unclear. Once I upgraded the center, I just kept going and upgraded everting to the reference series. I would see if you could demo a RC-62 since they are different series to see how well they play together. Noting is saying you can’t get an RC-62 with your towers, I just wanted to let you know they are different series within the Klipsch line.
How well does the RP-250C match with my 28's? I'm between that and the RC-62 II now just need to pull the trigger

Yes that is how you get hooked on Klipsch. Best Buy has a sale and you love them....then eventually you you want to upgrade to highest model
Below is the matching center for your towers. The only thing I don’t like about the Best Buy model Klipsch is the matching series (like the center) is a bit small and only one option. But if you look at the reference line, they have more choices and can upgrade to a bigger model if want and are in the same series.
The RC-62 is a great center channel and would be better than the matching one...but I don’t know how well it will match the R-28f towers. I know I had the RC-62 II and the Synergy F3 speakes ( the model before your r-28f) and didn’t like the miss match and eventually got the matching RF-82 II towers.
Problem is I haven't heard great things about this center. I've been told a center makes for 70% of the dialogue and sound. How about the 250c?

The R-28f and the RC-62 are from different series. You may hear a difference. One is Best Buy exclusive and the other is a reference line. I noticed a difference going from the old Best Buy synergy line to the reference line.
This is also news to me. I wish I would of done more research before I went and picked them up from Best Buy but they were on sale and fit my budget. Is there a decent center that does match my towers? Is it an issue with timbre matching or why would I hear a difference? I thought I knew more about home audio but I guess I have a lot to learn.

I was not able to hear a difference between the RC-64 and RC-64 II nor between the RS-62 and RS-62 II. I only saw cosmetic differences. I would assume the same between the RC-62 and RC-62 II. The woofers are different color (bronze vs copper) but if you keep the grills on, you will never notice the difference.
Hmm, didn't know that about the color. I have two R-28F's that I leave the grills off of. I would prefer it to match. Now to figure out if it does or doesn't match

I was set on getting an RC-62 II then I stumbled across this RC-62 on Ebay in excellent condition for about half the price. Should I pick it up or pass?

Going to order a couple R-15M's for my rear speakers and mount them higher up on the wall. These mounts off of Amazon claim you just tighten them and the speakers stay in place, I'm not too trusting of that idea. Would I ruin the speaker if I put a screw on each side into the speaker or is that a no-no? I know a strap is an option but that would look tacky in a living room IMHO.
Quick side note, is my choice of RC-62 II a good one for a center?

So in your case you would place the speakers in the location closest to the diagram above, according to your room allowance, and at your avr/preamp/receiver or whatever you are using, make the setting as left and right surround speakers.
I thought I knew more than I did. TIL I guess. My couch is backed against the wall and there is no way I can have a set up like any of the pictures above. Can I get by with having the surround speakers on the wall behind me?

I think you'll find your AVR won't let you go directly to rear speakers. It will make you add side surrounds first in a 5.1.
Could you elaborate more on this? My room set up is pretty weird so side speakers aren't the best option right now. I always thought 5.1 meant Front R&L, Center and Rear R&L? By adding side surrounds first then rears wouldn't that be 7.1?

Many of the Klipsch surround speakers have keyhole slots and/or threaded inserts on the back panel. http://www.klipsch.com/products/rs-42-ii-surround-speaker
I see that but I didn't want to mount flush against the wall. I'm about to cave and just buy a pair at $180 a speaker and figure it out later. Or I might just key hole mount them flush.

First timer here. So far i'm in love with my two R-28F's and R-12SW. I'm ready to add rear speakers and a center. I'm thinking about the RP-250C for the center and RS-42 II's for the rear. First question, how is my speaker choice and to they match up well? Second question with the RS-42 II's I would like to wall mount them and angle them down, how can I do that? Can I safely drill into the back without damaging anything internally or is there a better mounting solution for these?
Weird living room has me scratching my head. Time to return my new R51M's?

I don't know what to do. I currently have a 3.1 setup and I wanted to go for a 5.1. I have no idea where to mount my new bookshelves. Help please! Here is my living room looking to the left, right, and a full shot of the couch.
