Well another thing popped up

 

2x   R-26F for $200

 

Good deal?

 

Obviously these will be standalone until I finish the 5.1 setup. Any recommendations on the other pieces if I go this route?

Welcome to the forum! I believe the Icon series is discontinued and was only available through Best Buy. Personally, I would skip this and look at the used market for a deal on speakers. The Icons are the base level Klipsch offering and do not hold their value at all in the used market if you ever want to upgrade. If you let us know your location, we can look up some local Craigslist deals and help you put a system together.

 

Thanks, that's exactly what I was wondering! However, I'm not concerned about them holding value but rather sounding decent. You said they're entry level, so maybe I should stay away.

 

I'm in the metro detroit area.

 

Thanks!

@KJThaDon,

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Truthfully I have no experience with those models or line of speakers.  I am sure others will chime in and offer some suggestions.

Thank you, glad I found this place!

I have a chance to get an all BRAND NEW setup including

 

(2) KF-28 Floorstanding Speakers - https://www.klipsch.com/products/kf-28-floorstanding-speaker

(2) KB-15 Bookshelf Speakers - https://www.klipsch.com/products/kb-15-bookshelf-speakers-pair

(1) KC-25 Center Speaker - https://www.klipsch.com/products/kc-25-center-speaker

 

for $500

 

Is this is good deal, a steal or should I avoid it?

 

If I do proceed with them, should I find a cheap set of the KS-14 to use for rears or just use the bookshelf's? https://www.klipsch.com/products/ks-14-surround-speaker-pair

 

Also, what sub and AV Receiver would you recommend to go with them?

 

I'm looking to upgrade my poor Yamaha surround. What AV would you recommend to power them?

 

Thanks!
